• [Sheldon and Amy are Skyping] 

  Sheldon Cooper : I've been thinking a lot about relationships and how difficult they can be, and I think...

  Amy Farrah Fowler : I've been thinking about them, too, Sheldon. Being your girlfriend is so challenging. Emotionally, physically. I've been incredibly patient for years.

  Sheldon Cooper : Strongly disagree. Go on.

  Amy Farrah Fowler : Okay, well... this isn't easy to say, because I love you, but... I need some time to take a step back and reevaluate our situation.

  Sheldon Cooper : Oh.

  Amy Farrah Fowler : I hope you understand.

  Sheldon Cooper : Okay.

  Amy Farrah Fowler : Bye, Sheldon.

  [Skype session ends and Sheldon looks at a statue of Gollum] 

  Sheldon Cooper : Well, Gollum, you're an expert on rings.

  [Sheldon takes out an engagement ring from his desk drawer] 

  Sheldon Cooper : What do I do with this one?

• Sheldon Cooper : Amy's mad at me and I'm not sure why.

  Penny : Okay, were you talking before she got mad?

  Sheldon Cooper : Yes.

  Penny : Well, that's probably it.

• Penny : Wait, what is wrong with you two? He was talking about television during their date night.

  Sheldon Cooper : Oh, not just date night. Our 5th anniversary.

  Penny : Okay, see, that's even dumber than you wondering if being bitten by a goat would give you the powers of a goat.

  Sheldon Cooper : If that happens, don't make me wait ten years to watch you eat a tin can.

• Penny : Hey, I don't think she's wrong about you going too slow in the relationship.

  Sheldon Cooper : Too slow?

  Penny : Yeah, you've been going out for years. You haven't even slept together.

  Sheldon Cooper : That's right. It's called foreplay.

• Penny : Still haven't heard from her?

  Sheldon Cooper : No, and I'm confused. It's been nearly 24 hours. Amy should have figured out she's wrong by now.

• Amy Farrah Fowler : Can you believe it's been five years since our first date?

  Sheldon Cooper : I know. Do you think I should start watching The Flash TV show?

  Amy Farrah Fowler : That's what you're thinking about?

  Sheldon Cooper : Well, one of the things.

  Amy Farrah Fowler : Are any of them me?

  Sheldon Cooper : Yes. I thought, I can't decide if I should watch The Flash TV show. I know, I'll ask Amy. Anyway.

  Amy Farrah Fowler : What are you doing?

  Sheldon Cooper : You're right, you did kind of kill the mood.

  Amy Farrah Fowler : I didn't kill anything. You did, talking about your stupid TV show.

  Sheldon Cooper : Excuse me. Starting to watch a television show that might run for years isn't a decision to take lightly. I'm wrestling with a big commitment issue here.

  Amy Farrah Fowler : Really? That's the commitment issue you're wrestling with? Sheldon, do you understand the irony of your fixation on a man with super speed, while after five years all I can get out of you is a distracted make-out session on a couch?

  Sheldon Cooper : Irony's not really my strong suit. But I have been getting better with sarcasm, if you want to give that a try.

  Amy Farrah Fowler : [sarcastically]  Oh, sure, I'd love to.

  Sheldon Cooper : Whenever you're ready.

• Sheldon Cooper : What happened?

  Penny : Your little buddy got mugged by a bunch of baby farm animals.

  Sheldon Cooper : Been there.

• Sheldon Cooper : But I have been getting better with sarcasm, if you want to give that a try.

  Amy Farrah Fowler : [sarcastic]  Oh, sure, I'd love to.

  Sheldon Cooper : Whenever you're ready.

• Leonard Hofstadter : I'm going to guess that your main concern is the time commitment of watching an entire season of a new show.

  Sheldon Cooper : Oh, no, not just a season. If I'm in, I'm in for the whole run, even if the quality declines.

  Leonard Hofstadter : I get it. Smallville almost wrecked you.

  Sheldon Cooper : Exactly. You know, I waited ten years to see a guy everyone knows can fly, fly.

• Leonard Hofstadter : It's not just the date. We haven't talked about anything. Big wedding, small wedding, indoor, outdoor...

  Sheldon Cooper : Outdoor? Oh. I can RSVP no right now.

• Amy Farrah Fowler : Sheldon, do you understand the irony of your fixation on a man with super speed, while after five years all I can get out of you is a distracted make-out session on a couch?

  Sheldon Cooper : Irony's not really my strong suit.
