Quotes
Stuart: Is it me or has no one been in the store for hours?
Denise: Yeah, it's weirdly quiet. Nobody's in the street.
Stuart: Huh, that's strange.
Denise: You thinking what I'm thinking?
Stuart: They cut that meteorite open and unleashed a space plague.
Denise: Exactly.
Stuart: Let me just lock up here.
Denise: Okay, so what do we do?
Stuart: Uh, well, if this is a worst case scenario and we're the last two people alive we're gonna have to rebuild civilization.
Denise: Do you have any special skills?
Stuart: I can draw. How bout you?
Denise: I can play clarinet.
Stuart: I didn't know that.
Denise: Yeah. Ten years. Ah.
Stuart: You know, it, uh, might also be up to us to repopulate the earth.
Denise: I'm okay with that.
Stuart: So shall we?
Denise: Wait here. I'm gonna brush my teeth.
Stuart: (Sheldon shows up) We're closed.
Sheldon: This is going on Yelp.
Sheldon: I went down to the city compliance office to turn you in.
Howard: Are you kidding?
Sheldon: But I didn't do it. I filled out the form and then realized that the unwritten laws of friendship are more important than the written rules of the city of Altadena City and Planning Department.
Bernadette: Aw.
Howard: Really? Aw?
Sheldon: And you'll be happy to know that while I was there I did look into your neighbor's balcony and it is encroaching on your property line. I had all this pent-up snitch energy so I reported him hard.
Howard: What did they say?
Sheldon: He's going to have to remove it.
Bernadette: So the good guys win?
Sheldon: Well, I don't know if I'd call you the good guys. You're enforcing a law on him which you're willfully ignoring yourselves.
Bernadette: Uh. All right, fine. The morally compromising guys win!
Sheldon: Apparently so.
Raj: (Zombie Leonard chomps on Bert) Stop eating Bert!
(Zombie Leonard spits out a chunk of Bert and goes after Raj)
Raj: Keep eating Bert!
Stuart: Whoa, whoa! You're not gonna cut open a meteor, are you? Have you not learned anything from comic books? Space viruses? Pod people? I sell nothing, but warnings.
Notes and Trivia
In this context, kerf is a term used for the width of a saw blade. So "kerf loss" would be speaking to the amount that would be lost to the width of the blade.
Leonard is finally using the laser he bought for himself with university funding in The Grant Allocation Derivation (2018).
Title reference: the gang is preoccupied with one of Bert's meteorites, and speculate what horrors may come out when opened.
