Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen Howard's brother finds out about Howard and the robot arm, he says "Because that's all you need". This was also said in the episode where Howard got 'stuck' in the robot arm, The Robotic Manipulation (2010), as the answer to the question why he only built the arm and not the rest of the robot.
- GoofsLeonard gets upset that Penny makes more money than him, but earlier in the season, in The Expedition Approximation (2014), when Penny worries about this exact possibility, he tells her that it's not a problem because he grew up with a mother who emasculated his father financially (& in every other aspect), so... really, it's what he thinks love looks like.
- Quotes
Howard Wolowitz: Settle this. Those little animated pictures on the Internet, are they called "gifs" or "jifs"?
Leonard Hofstadter: Well, the G stands for "graphics." That's a hard G, so I'd say "gif."
Raj Koothrappali: What? The guy who invented it says it's "jif."
Howard Wolowitz: I'm sorry, do you mean the guy or the juy?

Hardly a day goes by when I don't think about quitting this business. Hanging it up. Taking my proverbial bat and ball and going home. In my imagination, the day after I quit is a wonderful, relaxing, joyful experience. I reconnect with old friends, walk on the beach, read, listen to music, play guitar, play golf, eat leisurely meals off of real plates, exercise, meditate, maybe go see a matinee, or take a stab at writing a few pages of a self-indulgent, joke-free play filled with people screaming at each other, and then, after taking the dog for a walk, climb into bed and fall into a peaceful, stress-free sleep. The day after that, bored out of my mind, I start drinking around the clock and quickly descend into a dark, frothing madness that leads to either being institutionalized or liver failure and an agonizing, premature death. The really scary part? There's hardly a day goes by when I don't think about quitting this business.

Featured review
Great Episode
This is a great episode for all viewers of this series to watch. The crew did a fine job in creating this episode. There were some parts throughout this series that could have been created a lot better and stronger. The storyline of this episode was fine enough to watch. The cast selection was great. They really committed to the storyline and to their respective characters. The chemistry that was displayed throughout this episode between the cast members was alright but could have been better and stronger. I am a big fan of Matt Bennett. He is a terrific actor. He has a huge career ahead of him. This is a fine episode for everyone to watch.
