Penny
- [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.
- 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.
