Quotes 

• [last lines] 

  Penny : I figured I could sit around and feel insecure, or I could do something about it. So I got a course catalog at school and looked at some of the scence classes.

  Leonard Hofstadter : That's great.

  Penny : No, it isn't; they are extremely boring. I mean, how do you not kill yourself every day. Anyway, I decided I don't need to be a scientist; I could just look like one. So I bought these.

  Leonard Hofstadter : Glasses?

  [as Penny puts the glasses on] 

  Leonard Hofstadter : I really don't think that's going to change- Oh my God, you look so smart and hot!

  Penny : I know, right? Watch this.

  [pulls the glasses down so she is peering over them] 

  Penny : Molecules.

  Leonard Hofstadter : Okay, come with me.

  Penny : Where are we going?

  Leonard Hofstadter : My bedroom, so I can take off everything but those glasses. And maybe the boots.

• Leonard Hofstadter : Can I tell you a secret?

  Penny : Wha's up?

  Leonard Hofstadter : With all these women chasing me, I kind of do feel like Captain Kirk.

  Penny : Can I tell *you* a secret?

  Leonard Hofstadter : Sure.

  Penny : Keep talking about Captain Kirk and we're all going to stop.

  Leonard Hofstadter : [mimicking Shatner]  Message. Received.

• [first lines] 

  Sheldon Cooper : Well, I must say, Leonard, when I first heard your idea for Giant Jenga, I was skeptical.

  Leonard Hofstadter : I can't blame you. Tiny Twister was a complete bust.

  Sheldon Cooper : Oh no, I was wrong. The looming threat of being crushed under a pile of lumber does add a certain spice. I've never felt so alive.

• Leonard Hofstadter : [singing]  I'm sorry Alex hit on me, hit on me, hit on me. Sorry Alex hit on me, I'd no idea I'm cute.

  Penny : Oh, damn it, you are.

  Leonard Hofstadter : Please forgive me. I should have told you about Alex.

  Penny : I don't care about Alex. Fine, I care. Okay, I hate that bitch. But what really hurt is that you liked it so much. I mean, do I need to be worried?

  Leonard Hofstadter : Of course not. No. Why?

  Penny : Because, she is pretty and smart, and when you talk about work, she doesn't have to go home and look up words in the dictionary to understand what you said.

  Leonard Hofstadter : You do that?

  Penny : No.

  Leonard Hofstadter : Hang on. Are you feeling insecure? Because that's my thing, and if you take it away, I don't know what I'm bringing to this relationship.

  Penny : Yes, Leonard, I am insecure. Happy?

  Leonard Hofstadter : No, not happy.

  Penny : Why are you smiling?

  Leonard Hofstadter : I'm sorry. I just never think of you having feelings like that.

  Penny : Well, I do.

• Leonard Hofstadter : Did you tell something to Penny about me and Alex?

  Sheldon Cooper : Yes, and a fat lot of good it did me. It just made her angry at you.
