Quotes

Amy: Why can't we get a grad student to do it?
Sheldon: We can't trust our paper to a millennial. They'll put unicorn emojis all over it and post it on social media.
Amy: Why would they do that?
Sheldon: Economic anxiety, too much avocado toast, who knows!

Bernadette: I wanted to talk to Stuart. Is he around?
Denise: No. Doctor's appointment.
Bernadette: Is he okay?
Denise: Not since I've known him.
Bernadette: Which brings up a question: You and Stuart. Why?
Denise: My parents used to run a funeral home. Read into that what you will.

Penny: Video games? Is this some kind of Freaky Friday thing where you're actually Howard?
Bernadette: If I were Howard, I'd be doing this.
(Looks down her own blouse)
Bernadette: And I must say, he's not wrong.

Sheldon: You're probably wondering why I put you through this.
Leonard: You mean the last two minutes or the last twenty years?

Amy: What if we ask one of our friends to help us out? How about Leonard?
Sheldon: I don't know. Can we trust him?
Amy: He's your best friend in the whole world.
Sheldon: Yes, but he always struck me as the guy in the plane crash who doesn't wait until you're all the way dead to eat you.

Denise: And now my question: You and Howard. Why?
Bernadette: You got eyes. What do you think?

Notes and Trivia

Howard's screen name on the video game he was playing is "Fr00tL00ps511", alluding to the unfortunate nickname he was given when he was in space.

The Vanity Card at the end shows a picture of the cast together with Stan Lee, who guest starred in The Excelsior Acquisition (2010), and died three days before the episode was broadcast.
