Quotes5

  • Sheldon Cooper: Penny, reminder. Bowling, tonight at seven o'clock.
  • Penny: Oh, right. Bowling.
  • Leonard Hofstadter: Uh, you don't have to come if you don't want to.
  • Penny: No, no, it's okay. I mean, let's face it, you guys would get creamed without me.
  • Sheldon Cooper: We would indeed. In this particular case your lack of femininity works to our advantage.
  • Penny: Always nice chatting with you, Sheldon.
  • Sheldon Cooper: Sarcasm?
  • Penny: Thinly-veiled contempt.
  • Sheldon Cooper: Remember: seven o'clock!
  • Penny: Got it!
  • Sheldon Cooper: Pacific Daylight Time.
  • Penny: Bite me!
  • Leonard Hofstadter: Could we please talk about something else? Maybe something vaguely related to life as we know it on this planet?
  • Howard Wolowitz: Okay, how about this for a topic: Why is Leonard being a giant douche? Assuming giant douches are possible.
  • Sheldon Cooper: Of course they are. Leonard's being one.
  • Penny: Leonard, stop pressuring me.
  • Leonard Hofstadter: I'm not pressuring you.
  • Penny: Yeah, you are! Just back off!
  • Leonard Hofstadter: Okay, I'm sorry. I'll shut up.
  • Penny: I didn't mean shut up.
  • Leonard Hofstadter: Fine. Just tell me what to do, and I'll do it.
  • Penny: No. That isn't fair to you, Leonard. I'm sorry.
  • [she heads for the door]
  • Sheldon Cooper: Wait! Where are you going? Penny, come back! I'll get you ice cream!
  • Leonard Hofstadter: No, let her go.
  • Sheldon Cooper: Are you insane? If she leaves, it's over!
  • Leonard Hofstadter: I'm pretty sure it's already over.
  • [first lines]
  • Penny: Having a little trouble catching your breath there?
  • Leonard Hofstadter: No, no, I'm good. If my P.E. teachers had told me this is what I was training for, I would have tried a lot harder.
  • [chuckles]
  • Penny: Do or do not. There is no try.
  • Leonard Hofstadter: Did you just quote Star Wars?
  • Penny: I believe I quoted Empire Strikes Back.
  • Leonard Hofstadter: Oh, my God. I'm lying in bed with a beautiful woman who can quote Yoda.
  • [they kiss]
  • Leonard Hofstadter: I love you, Penny.
  • Penny: [pause] Oh. Oh. Thank you.
  • Leonard Hofstadter: You're welcome. I just wanted to put that out there.
  • Penny: Oh, yeah, no, I, I'm, I'm glad.
  • Leonard Hofstadter: Good. Good; glad is good.
  • Penny: Yeah. Ahem. No, no. Um. So, it's getting pretty late. We should probably go to sleep.
  • Leonard Hofstadter: Yeah.
  • Penny: Okay.
  • Leonard Hofstadter: Yeah.
  • Penny: Hmm.
  • Leonard Hofstadter: Yeah, probably.
  • Penny: OK. Good night, sweetie.
  • Leonard Hofstadter: Good night.
  • [They kiss, then Penny rolls over and stares wide-eyed]
  • Leonard Hofstadter: Maybe I'm a little ahead of you. That's fine. In fact, it makes sense, 'cause let's face it, I've been in this relationship 2 years longer than you.
