Episode Quotes

Sheldon Cooper: I took another look at the board, and I realized you were right.
Raj Koothrappali: So you were wrong.
Sheldon Cooper: I'm not saying that.
Raj Koothrappali: That's the only logical inference.
Sheldon Cooper: I'm still not saying it.

Penny: You know what I'd like to do?
Leonard Hofstadter: What?
Penny: Go over to Sheldon's spot and make out.
Leonard Hofstadter: Oh, you are a dirty girl! [Knock at the door]
Penny: Oh, how did he know?

Howard Wolowitz: So, what are we watching? Sex and the City? Yikes!
Penny: Hey, I happen to love this movie.
Howard Wolowitz: Fine, let's watch it. Maybe all of our periods will synchronize.

Mistakes/Goofs

Goof (errors made by characters, possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): At the beginning, the four main characters are watching the movie "Gremlins." Sheldon says that the movie baffles him, stating that "The instructions are very clear: don't feed the Gremlins after midnight, don't get the Gremlins wet. How hard is that?" However, the creature in the movie is a Mogwai; the Gremlins are only created after the rules have been broken.
Goof (continuity error): When Raj swallows an Aspirin he takes a swig from a can however when 'Eye of the Tiger' starts again and the camera cuts the can is gone.
Goof (errors made by characters, possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Raj says that halfway to India is off the coast of Japan. In fact, halfway from Pasadena, California to New Delhi, India is near the coast between the East Siberian Sea and the Laptev Sea.

Trivia

The title refers to Sheldon's comment on Raj's possible deportation back to India, that an alternative is for Raj to "wander the high seas as a stateless pirate."
