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: 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 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 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!

Quote from Sheldon

Penny: And what? Your wizard robes are next to go.

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."

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

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.

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?

Quote from Leonard
Leonard: You really didn't think I'd notice my stuff was missing?

*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.

Quote from Sheldon
Amy: As you may notice, just one of the changes around here is our new house band.

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.
