Quote from Sheldon

Sheldon: Oh, I don't mind, I'm very good at complaining. If it were an Olympic sport, I'd complain about what a stupid sport it is and then I'd take home the gold.

Quote from Leonard

Leonard: Superman's gone. My stormtrooper's gone.

Quote from Sheldon

Amy: It's kind of exciting. I mean we could do whatever we want.

Amy: Sorry.
Sheldon: Do you know 2001: A Space Odyssey?
*Amy humming "Also sprach Zarathustra*

Quote from Amy

Penny: So, what's the deal with your apartment? Why's it taking so long?
Amy: Um, it was a drywall problem.
Penny: Oh, no, what happened?
Amy: Well, the drywall got wet, and you do not want wet drywall because when drywall gets wet, it's really more-
Penny: Wet wall?
Amy: Or damp wall, just as bad.
Penny: Mm. So why don't they just get more drywall?
Amy: Well, they went to get some, but the woman at the wall store said it was going on sale and they should wait because the savings-

Quote from Amy

Amy: What's going on?
Sheldon: I'm struggling with the thought of leaving my old bedroom.

Amy: How about if I just don't breathe at all?
Sheldon: That's my girl.

Quote from Sheldon

Sheldon: So, in the spirit of cohabitation, the theme of today's episode is flags of two regions coming together as one.

Sheldon: So, let's roll up our "sleevis" and get to know Nevis.
*Howard plays a rimshot sound*
Sheldon: Well, I-I like that, but next time check with me.

Quote from Sheldon

Amy: What are you doing?
Sheldon: I'm just contemplating Buridan's donkey.
Amy: I understand. I'll leave you be.
Sheldon: What, you're familiar with the reference?
Amy: Of course. Jean Buridan proposed a philosophical thesis stating that a hungry donkey placed between two equidistant bales of hay would be paralyzed by indecision and would starve to death.
Sheldon: Exactly.
Amy: Well, I wouldn't want you to starve to death, so here's an eggplant.
Sheldon: Thank you.
Amy: You know, some people believe that Buridan was plagiarizing Aristotle.
Sheldon: Really?
Amy: Although, in Aristotle's example, he proposed an equally hungry and thirsty man caught between food and drink.
Sheldon: Huh. Yeah, I wonder if that's related to the 12th century Persian philosopher, Al-Ghazali and his story of a man caught between two dates.
Amy: Are you suggesting Al-Ghazali was Aristotelian? 'Cause if anything, he was anti-Aristotelian.
Sheldon: Al-Ghazali was anti-Aristotelian? Boy, you think you know a guy.

Quote from Sheldon

Leonard: Buddy, buddy, listen, nothing bad is going on, she just she just didn't want you to know that the work on her apartment was finished a couple weeks ago.
Sheldon: I don't understand.
Leonard: She's enjoying living with you and she didn't want it to end early.
Sheldon: So, she's deceiving me in order to spend more time with me?
Leonard: Yes.
Sheldon: Oh. Well, I feel both flattered and hurt. Like when people say I look like that skeleton from Nightmare Before Christmas.
Raj: Oh my God, that's who you look like.

Quote from Sheldon

Sheldon: Everybody wants to spend more time with me. I'm like a man made of sugar in a world of ants.

Quote from Sheldon

Sheldon: Why would she keep something from me, you know? I shared my body with that woman. And my Netflix password. They recommended "Stella Got Her Groove Back" because of her.

Quote from Raj

Raj: If we're all gonna die, why am I eating so much kale?

Quote from Penny

Leonard: And what's it called when you secretly get rid of all your husband's stuff?
Penny: Wha-That is not true!
Leonard: Bernadette told Howard, Howard told me. Plus, I can see all my stuff is gone!
Penny: Oh, so, you believe your friend, and your friend's wife and your own eyes over me? Wow.

Quote from Sheldon

Sheldon: Buda and Pest united to form Budapest. And that's why Budapest is the "Budabest".

Quote from Penny

Penny: I can't believe I'm saying this, but can we watch the news or something?

Amy: I'm sorry that I lied about my apartment.
Sheldon: It's all right.
Leonard: And...
Penny: And what? Your wizard robes are next to go.

Quote from Sheldon

Howard: You know, if he moves across the hall for good, Leonard could keep the stuff you don't like in Sheldon's old room. Solves everything.
Penny: That's a great idea!
Leonard: Ooh, maybe I could turn it into a gaming den.
Raj: That would be amazing.
Sheldon: Wait, wait, hold on - excuse me, that's my room.
Leonard: But you won't be living here.
Sheldon: But that's my room.
Leonard: But you won't be living here.
Sheldon: But that's my room.
Leonard: You guys might want to start eating. But you won't be living here.
Penny: Sweetie, once you stop paying rent, none of this is really yours.
Sheldon: But that's my room.
All: But you won't be living here!

Quote from Penny

Leonard: I'm kidding, I want you to feel at home here. Decorate it any way that makes you happy.
Penny: Do you really mean that?
Leonard: I really do.
Penny: Great, and just so you know, I'm not getting rid of all your stuff.
Leonard: Yeah? What are you keeping?
Penny: That candle and ... you.
Leonard: What about my robot poster?
Penny: Buh, buh, buh, buh, buh- I can make do with just the candle.

Quote from Sheldon

Sheldon: Well, I suppose we could find a whole new place. You know, and, technically, we don't even have to stay in Pasadena. We could, we could move to Altadena or a place that doesn't even end in "dena."

Quote from Sheldon

Quote from Raj

Howard: Okay, last question. The chaps he was wearing assless?
Sheldon: Can we just focus on the decision I'm facing?
Raj: We can, but for the record, all chaps are assless.

Quote from Howard

Sheldon: No, I have the feeling that she's hiding something.
Leonard: I wouldn't worry about it. She's probably just distracted by work.
Sheldon: Well, whatever it is, it's troubling me. I can't eat, I can't sleep. And don't even ask about the consistency of my bowel movements.
Howard: You heard him, guys, don't ask.

Quote from Leonard

Sheldon: Gentlemen, please, this is a significant decision. Now, do Amy and I continue living together? Or do I move back in with Leonard?
Leonard: Over my assless chaps you will.

Quote from Sheldon

Amy: It's almost dinner time. You in the mood for anything?
Sheldon: Yeah, we could get Thai food near your apartment and then drop in and check on the progress.
Amy: Oh, you don't want do that, it's a construction zone.
Sheldon: So?
Amy: Well, what about your fear of stray nails and butt cracks?
Sheldon: I am terrified of stepping on a nail and falling into a butt crack.

Quote from Howard

Sheldon: Thank you for your services, gentlemen. I'm hoping to broaden our audience with your youthful rock and roll music.
Howard: (chuckling) Aw, you think you have an audience, that's funny.

Quote from Sheldon

Amy: We're also coming to you live from a different apartment.
Sheldon: Dr. Fowler and I began an experiment in living together after her apartment became water damaged. This is our friend Penny's place. You may remember her from our episode "Flags: And the People Who Don't Understand Them."

Quote from Penny

Leonard: Which is why I got you this Pink Power Ranger. Put it anywhere you like.
Penny: Okay, but you may feel some discomfort.

Quote from Howard

Leonard: You're awful quiet, everything okay?
Sheldon: I'm concerned about Amy. She's acting a bit odd lately.
Howard: Oh, well, j-just out of curiosity, what registers as odd to you?

Quote from Sheldon

Leonard: She took my Where's Waldo.

Leonard: Oh, yeah, there he is.

Quote from Leonard

Howard: I'm serious, JPL's actually developing a robot arm that could grab an asteroid before it hits us.

Quote from Sheldon

Howard: This isn't complicated. Do you love Amy?
Sheldon: Yes.
Raj: Do you like living with her?
Sheldon: Yes.
Leonard: Do you know what you need to do now?
Sheldon: Apparently, figure this out on my own 'cause you guys are no help at all.

Quote from Leonard

Leonard: Just hiding some stuff in your closet, don't tell Penny.

Quote from Amy

Sheldon: If we did continue living together, would it be here?
Amy: I don't know. It could be.
Sheldon: Of course there's there's always your apartment.
Amy: Sure, sure, we could live in my apartment.
Sheldon: I hate your apartment.
Amy: Sorry, you brought it up?

Quote from Penny

Raj: Now that everything's out on the table, you think you two will keep living together?
Sheldon: Despite recent events, I do consider our experiment in cohabitation to have been positive.

Quote from Raj

Raj: I'm not really a part of this, so I'm just gonna dig in.

Quote from Leonard

Leonard: You really didn't think I'd notice my stuff was missing?
Penny: Uh, did you notice your key chain?
*Leonard goes to the door and checks his keys*
Leonard: Where's Batman?!

Quote from Howard

Howard: See, I've known that for weeks, but, you know, I waited till the moment when it would cause him the most pain.

Quote from Sheldon

Amy: So, uh, what about dinner?
Sheldon: Is it me or are you purposely changing the subject?
Amy: No. And on the subject of subjects, is your use of the word "subject" the same or different as when we speak about the subject of a king?
Sheldon: I have a feeling you're still doing it. But I find that topic irresistible, so, now, in ancient Mesopotamia, the king referred to the people as his property.

Quote from Leonard

Bernadette: Well, they finished the work early, but she's been telling Sheldon they're behind schedule.
Leonard: So, she's just been lying to him?
Penny: Well, you've lied to Sheldon.
Leonard: Yeah, but to make him leave, not to make him stay.

Quote from Sheldon

Amy: As you may notice, just one of the changes around here is our new house band.
*Howard plays a keyboard solo*
Sheldon: Who haven't learned their place yet.

Quote from Howard

Sheldon: Hit it.
*Howard playing keyboards and Raj playing guitar*
Howard: (Singing) For joy and fun, there's no better manner, than to fly a pennant, flag or banner
Raj: What fills my heart, and makes my eyes moist, sending a flag, up a pole on a hoist.
Raj & Howard: Fun with Flags, Fun with Flags
Howard: Oh! Say can you see.
Raj: It's Fun with Flags.
Raj & Howard: Fun with Flags.

Quote from Sheldon

Sheldon: Are you going to confront Penny?
Leonard: Eventually, I guess. Although, I am kind of curious how long she thinks she can keep hiding my stuff without me knowing.
Sheldon: Hmm. You know, perhaps instead of confronting them, we should see how far they're willing to spin their tangled webs. Like that Spider-Man action figure that used to be on your desk.
Leonard: Oh my God, I'm going blind.
