  Penny : No.

  Sheldon Cooper : Your relationship with Leonard.

  Penny : No.

  Sheldon Cooper : She's right. I'm too hot.

• Leonard Hofstadter : Have you considered studying standard model physics?

  Penny : Like you could get a brown bear.

  Leonard Hofstadter : Hey, I've got a good job. I could buy salmon. You don't know.
