Quotes
Raj: I have a lot of party favors left over from Cinnamon's birthday so I hope she likes things that squeak when you chew on them.
Sheldon: Oh, Stuart, two questions: Do you have the new Aquaman, and do you mind if I use your back room to smoke some meat?
Stuart: Well, since it's you asking, I'm gonna guess that's not a euphemism.
Leonard: Why are you smoking meat? And why are you reading Aquaman?
Sheldon: I am trying to make Amy a historically accurate Little House on the Prairie dinner for her birthday, and I want to be able to say I was reading it before it was cool.
Leonard: Wow, well, that's actually really sweet. The dinner thing. The Aquaman thing's dumb.
Sheldon: And after dinner comes the birthday coitus.
Penny: Think that part will be historically accurate?
Leonard: I'm sure like all aspects of frontier life, it will be exhausting and short.
Sheldon: You're exhausting and short.
Stuart: Ain't no party like a Stuart party, 'cause Stuart... never gets invited to parties.
Sheldon: (after finishing their frontier dinner as part of Amy's "Little House on the Prairie" themed birthday) So, can I get you anything else?
Amy: (Clearly looking stuffed) No thanks, I think I'm good.
Sheldon: You sure? There's still plenty of pork fat. Although if we don't eat it, I suppose we could turn it into soap.
Amy: That might taste better.
Amy: Is that butter?
Sheldon: Don't use it all on that biscuit, it took me nine hours to make that butter. I think I got churner's elbow.
Howard: Turns out we are having a big birthday party for Halley because Bernadette and "anyone who isn't a heartless monster" thinks it's a good idea.
Sheldon: Well, I don't like children, but I do love birthday cake. Wait, will it have sweet frosting flowers on it?
Howard: I don't know.
Sheldon: Ah, I'll risk it. But if I throw a tantrum and leave in the middle of it, you'll know why.
Amy: I know we only have sex on my birthday, but I don't think I can wait until midnight.
Sheldon: Well, you should. Everyone knows the best foreplay is rigid adherence to a strict schedule.
Amy: My stomach's feeling a little weird.
Sheldon: Me too. I'm sure it's just the first sharp cramps of arousal.
Amy: This doesn't feel right.
Sheldon: Hey, save that sexy talk for the bedroom. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go freshen up.
(Runs to the bathroom and throws up)
Amy: Sheldon?
Sheldon: I'll be out in a minute!
Amy: I don't have a minute!
(Runs over to the sink to throw up)
Howard: Well, this party's a disaster.
Raj: Don't blame the party! You know how many favors I had to call in with my bounce house guy to get Wonder Woman?
Howard: Is that Wonder Woman?
Raj: Technically, it's a Chinese knockoff called Happy Strong Swimsuit Lady.
Howard: I'm just saying, you're a adult, act like it.
Raj: That's big talk for someone holding an Archie comic book.
Howard: Hey, Werewolf Jughead isn't your father's Jughead.
Sheldon: How are you feeling?
Amy: My stomach aches, got the chills, my mouth tastes weird, it hurts to swallow, and I have a little double vision.
Sheldon: Yeah. I"m feeling better too.
Leonard: Isn't Halley's birthday the same day as Amy's?
Howard: Yes, but we're not making a big deal about it. Halley's one, Bernadette's on bedrest, and... I'm lazy.
Sheldon: (He and Amy are still lying on the bed sick from the frontier dinner) Uh oh!
Amy: What?
Sheldon: I left the food out.
Amy: You afraid it's gonna go *good*?
Sheldon: Well, I hope you're hungry.
Amy: Oh, I'm starving.
Sheldon: Oh, good. Starvation is authentic to the time period. If you also have malaria and a deep distrust of Native Americans, we're really cooking with a woodstove.
Notes and Trivia
First time we see Raj's apartment over Bert's garage, after he moved from his old one in the previous season.
Melissa Rauch gave birth to her daughter Sadie on December 4, 2017, two weeks after this episode was filmed while production was on hiatus. Her lack of screen time in this episode was to give her some final rest for her real-life delivery. She came back after the winter break.
