Quotes 

• Sheldon Cooper : [theme from 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' is playing]  So, what do you think?

  Amy Farrah Fowler : It was good.

  Sheldon Cooper : That's it? Good?

  Amy Farrah Fowler : I enjoyed it. When you told me I was going to be "losing my virginity" I didn't think you meant showing me 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' for the first time.

  Sheldon Cooper : My apologies; I chose my words poorly. I should have said you were about to have your world rocked on my couch. Anyway, thank you for watching it. It's one of my all-time favorites.

  Amy Farrah Fowler : It was very entertaining, despite the glaring story problem.

  Sheldon Cooper : Story problem? Oh, Amy! What a dewy-eyed moon-calf you are. 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' is the lovechild of Steven Spielberg and George Lucas, two of the most gifted filmmakers of our generation. I've watched it thirty-six times, except for the snake scene and the face-melting scene which I can only watch when it's still light out, but. I defy you to find a story problem. Here's my jaw; drop it.

  Amy Farrah Fowler : All right. Indiana Jones plays no role in the outcome of the story. If he weren't in the film, it would turn out exactly the same.

  Sheldon Cooper : Oh, I see your confusion. You don't understand; Indiana Jones was the one in the hat with the whip.

  Amy Farrah Fowler : No, I do. And if he weren't in the movie the Nazis would have still found the ark, taken it to the island, opened it up, and all died. Just like they did. Let me close that for you.

  [gently pushes his chin up to close his mouth] 

• Sheldon Cooper : Well. You sit back, relax and enjoy a beloved childhood memory. You see that cabin there? I read they were illegally squatting on Indian land. Well, personally I think what we did to the Native Americans was wrong, but this is your favorite show, not mine. Oh look at little Laura Ingalls eating that peanut butter sandwich. Peanut butter, huh. That's strange since peanut butter wasn't introduced until the early 1900's.

  [Amy stops smiling] 

  Sheldon Cooper : If I knew this show was about time travel I would have watched it much sooner.

  Amy Farrah Fowler : [Amy stops the show]  You're trying to get back at me for what I said about "Raiders of the Lost Ark".

  Sheldon Cooper : That's silly. Almost as silly as Dr. Baker having a telephone, since telephones only existed in large cities at the time. It's more like "Little House on the Preposterous".

  Amy Farrah Fowler : Sheldon, we're in a relationship. When you get angry, tell me. You don't need to seek revenge.

  Sheldon Cooper : Are you sure? Every time my Dad stayed out all night my Mom put hamster poop in his chewing tobacco.

  Amy Farrah Fowler : Well, that's not how we're going to do it.

  Sheldon Cooper : Well, fine. I'm mad at you. Not only did you ruin "Raiders" for me but you may have ruined the whole franchise, except for the fourth one which was bad before you got your mitts on it.

  Amy Farrah Fowler : I shouldn't have said it. I'm sorry.

  Sheldon Cooper : Thank you.

  Amy Farrah Fowler : You feel better?

  Sheldon Cooper : Yes. But not as good when I tell you, your precious Garfield has no reason to hate Mondays. He's a cat. He doesn't have a job.

• Amy Farrah Fowler : Hello, Sheldon, is everything OK?

  Sheldon Cooper : Yes. Why?

  Amy Farrah Fowler : Well, the last time you made an unscheduled video chat, there was a curly fry in your regular fries, and you thought someone might be trying to slip you a mickey.

  Sheldon Cooper : April thirteenth. A dark night indeed.

• Amy Farrah Fowler : I love "Little House". It made me want to live on a farm so much, I tried to milk my cat. That tangy bowl of Cheerios was not worth the stitches.
