Critics
Caroline Preece of Den of Geek - It's also a funny episode, bringing the whole cast together to bounce off each other in that special way they do when everything's working. From Howard and Raj's new role as the 'Fun With Flags' house band, to the secret languages battle near the end and the revelation that Penny has been slowly putting Leonard's collectibles in storage, it all zips along with an energy that's been missing in an otherwise strong season.

 * Sheldon: Hello, I’m Dr. Sheldon Cooper.
 * Amy: And I’m Dr. Amy Farah Fowler.
 * Sheldon: And welcome to the first “on location” episode of Dr. Sheldon Cooper and Dr. Amy Farah Fowler present:
 * Both: Dr. Sheldon Cooper’s Fun with Flags.
 * Sheldon: Hit it.
 * Howard: 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.
 * Both: Fun with Flags. Fun with Flags.
 * Howard: Oh! Say can you see. It’s Fun with Flags.
 * Both: It’s Fun with Flags.
 * Amy: As you may notice, just one of the changes around here is our new house band.
 * Howard: [Piano melody.]
 * Sheldon: Who haven’t learned their place yet.
 * Amy: We’re also coming to you live from a different apartment.
 * Sheldon: Dr. Fowler and I began and 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.”
 * Amy: So in the spirit of cohabitation, the theme of today’s episode is flags of two regions coming together as one. Such as the flags of St. Kitts and Nevis.
 * Sheldon: So, let’s roll up our “sleevis “ and get to know Nevis.
 * Howard: [Piano ba-dum.]
 * Sheldon: Well, I like that, but next time check with me.
 * Amy: Did you know that the flag was designed by a student Edrice Lewis…

[Continued]
 * Sheldon: Buda and Pest united to form Budapest. And that’s why Budapest is “Budapest”. Now.
 * Howard: Oh, right. [Piano ba-dum.]


 * Sheldon: You know, if you like, I could call your landlord and complain.
 * Amy: Thanks, but you don't have to.
 * Sheldon: Oh, I don’t mind, I’m very good at complaining. If it were an Olympic sport, I’d complain about what a stupid sport it is and then I’d take home the gold.
 * Amy: Good stuff.


 * Amy: I’m sorry I lied about my apartment.
 * Sheldon: It’s all right.
 * Leonard: And?
 * Sheldon: And what?
 * Penny: Your wizard robes are next to go.
 * Raj: Now that everything’s on the table, you think you two will keep living together?
 * Sheldon: Despite recent events, I consider our experiment in cohabitation to have been positive.
 * Amy: Are you saying you’d like to live with me?
 * Sheldon: I’m open to the possibility.
 * Amy: [Gasps.]
 * Penny: [Speaking Ubu Dubbi] Amy be cool.
 * Amy: Whatever.


 * Sheldon: If we did continue to live together, would it be here?
 * Amy: I don’t know. It could be.
 * Sheldon: Of course there’s, there’s always your apartment.
 * Amy: Sure, sure, we could live in my apartment.
 * Sheldon: I hate your apartment.
 * Amy: Sorry, you brought it up?
 * Sheldon: Well, I suppose we could find a whole new place. You know, and, technically, we don’t have to stay in Pasadena. We could, we could move to Altadena..or a place that doesn’t end in “dena”.
 * Amy: It’s kind of exciting. I mean… we could do whatever we want.


 * Sheldon: What on earth. [Enters his old room, which now is used for sex.] What is going on?
 * Leonard: Oh, hey Sheldon.
 * Penny: We turned your room into a sex dungeon. [Whips Leonard.]
 * Leonard: Oh!
 * Sheldon: No! [Wakes up screaming.]
 * Amy: What happened?


 * 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.
 * Howard: This isn’t complicated. Do you love Amy?
 * Sheldon: Yes.
 * Raj: Do you like living with her?
 * Sheldon: Yes.
 * Leonard: Do you know what you need to do now?
 * Sheldon: Apparently I must figure this out on my own ‘cause you guys are no help at all.


 * 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 tangle webs. Like that Spider-Man action-figure that used to be on your desk.
 * Leonard: Oh, my God I’m going blind.
 * Penny: Hi. Food’s here.
 * Sheldon: Oh. Excellent. I’m very hungry. Yeah, speaking of which, what’s going on with your apartment?
 * Amy: Oh, uh, they’re still working on it.
 * Sheldon: Interesting. Very interesting.
 * Penny: Yeah, we swung by her apartment on the way to the restaurant, and they’re gonna be fixing it for a while.
 * Sheldon: Wait, uh…you saw her apartment?
 * Penny: I did. Still a mess.
 * Sheldon: Leonard.
 * Leonard: Yeah.
 * Sheldon: [In Klingon] I don’t understand. Is Penny lying?
 * Leonard: [In Klingon] I’m not sure.
 * Amy: Why are you speaking Klingon?
 * Sheldon: Why are you speaking English?
 * Amy: This is ridiculous. Penny, do you remember when I taught you Ubbi Dubbi?
 * Penny: [In Ubbi Dubbi] Absolutely I do.
 * Amy:[In Ubbi Dubbi] Excellent. Does Sheldon know I’m lying?
 * Penny: [In Ubbi Dubbi] If Leonard told him it’s possible.
 * Sheldon: Oh, wait, stop that.
 * Amy: You stop that.
 * Sheldon:[In Klingon] Do you understand them?
 * Sheldon: [In Klingon] Damn it!
 * Penny: Okay. That’s enough. You know what? What is going on?
 * Leonard: Fine, I told Sheldon that her apartment’s been finished, but then you just said it’s not, so now I’m all confused.
 * Amy: Penny was just covering for me. My place has been ready for two weeks.
 * Sheldon: How could you lie to me?
 * Penny: Uh, she’s enjoyed living with you. It’s called being in love.
 * Leonard: Hmm. And what’s it called when you secretly get rid of all your husband’s stuff?
 * Penny: What...That is not true!
 * Leonard: Wh-wh-wh…Bernadette told Howard, Howard told me. Plus, I can see all my stuff is gone.
 * Penny: Oh, so, you believe your friend and your friend’s wife and your own eyes over me? Wow.
