Penny: And hold three, two, one. Very good. Now let’s try Warrior 2. And hold.

Sheldon: I’ve read that there are great yogis who have such mastery over their bodies they can draw water in through their genitals.

Penny: Yeah, well, I don’t think we’re gonna get to do that today.

Sheldon: Too bad. It seems like a good way to drink a milk shake without getting brain freeze.

Leonard: Oh, hey.

Penny: And now we go to Reverse Warrior.

Leonard: How did she get you to do yoga?

Sheldon: Well, to be honest, I thought she said Yoda.

Penny: I’m helping him relax because, unlike you, he supports me.

Leonard: Oh, how many times do I have to say it? I support you.

Penny: Sheldon, take a break.

Sheldon: Namaste.

Penny: Okay, if you support me, what was with that phone call?

Leonard: Fine. I’m not sure you should have quit. But if you care so much what I think, why didn’t you ask me before you did it?

Penny: Oh, so now I need your permission? Would you have asked me before you quit your job?

Leonard: Yes. I thought we were in the kind of relationship where we make decisions together. If I’m wrong, then maybe we need to talk about the kind of relationship we’re actually in.

Penny: Yeah, well, maybe we do.

Sheldon: I’m willing to if you guys are.

Leonard: Can we please have some privacy?

Sheldon: Y, No. I’m as much a part of this relationship as you two, and I think it’s high time we put all our cards on the table. For example, where is this going? Are you two ever getting married? And, if so, where will we all live? Have you thought about that?

Leonard: No.

Sheldon: Penny?

Penny: Okay, wait. What are we doing?

Leonard: For some reason, we’re planning a future where we both live with Sheldon forever.

Sheldon: Good. Now we’re getting somewhere.

Penny: Look, I know you think I’m being reckless, and you might be right, but I need to take this shot.

Sheldon: Yeah, no kidding. Despite what it says on her résumé, she is no longer 22.

Leonard: I swear, I am on your side.

Penny: You keep saying you’re on my side, but you don’t act like it.

Sheldon: He does that to me, too. Why do we put up with it?

Leonard: Listen, I could never do what you’re doing, okay? I would be terrified.

Penny: Well, it’s scary for me, too.

Sheldon: I’m fine with it.

Leonard: My point is, just because I couldn’t do it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t. And I’m proud of you.

Penny: Okay. Thank you.

Sheldon: Well, to celebrate this reconciliation, let’s all share a milk shake. Uh, Penny, you’ll need a straw.

Penny: I mean, the whole experience reminded me about how much I hated about that world. You, you know, the anxiety, the depression, the negativity. I don’t want to feel those things. I want to sell drugs to people who feel those things.

Amy: I can’t believe you got up and walked out of an audition for a big movie.

Penny: I did. I mean, I walked in, read for the part, then stunk up the place, but then I walked right out.

Bernadette: Well, I’m glad you have a new appreciation for your job.

Penny: I do, and you know, I don’t think I’ve ever thanked you properly for helping me get it.

Bernadette: Properly, at all. It’s just words I’ve never heard.

Penny: Well, thank you. You’re a good friend, and you changed my life.

Bernadette: You’re welcome. Hey, now that you’re making some real money, maybe you can take your friend out for a nice thank-you dinner.

Penny: Sure.

Amy: And you probably have to invite your other friend ’cause she overheard you talking about it, and it would be awkward to exclude her.

Penny: Okay.

Bernadette: How about now?

Penny: All right.

Bernadette: Don’t forget your wallet.

Penny: I, uh, huh.

Penny: Step one, worms.

Howard: Ew!

Penny: Okay, right there, ew is one of the things you’re not gonna want to say in front of your father-in-law. It’s right up there with icky and get it away. Now pick one up.

Howard: Really?

Penny: You’re gonna have to do it when you’re fishing.

Howard: Okay.

Penny: What are you waiting for?

Howard: I don’t know, for them to die of natural causes.

Penny: Just pick up a worm and put him on this hook.

Howard: Fine. There.

Leonard: I’m no expert, but I think the hook has to go through the worm.

Howard: Fine. Sorry, Mr. Worm. Sherm. Sherm the Worm.

Penny: Hey, don’t name him. Just jab a hook in his face.

Raj: You got this, buddy.

Leonard: Yeah, come on, Howard. Hook that worm.

Raj: You can do it.

Penny: That’s great. Cheerleading, way to man things up.

Penny: Now, let’s assume, by some miracle, you actually catch a fish. You’re going to have to know how to gut it. So, what you’re going to do is you’re going to take your knife, slice him right up the belly. You want me to stop?

Howard: No, I’m fine. Keep going.

Penny: All right. Now, you don’t want to cut too deep into its guts, or the blood will just squirt all over your face. Oh, my God. What is with you guys?

Leonard: It’s not our fault. Our dads never did anything like this with us.

Penny: What, never?

Leonard: My dad was an anthropologist. The only father-son time he spent was with a 2,000-year-old skeleton of an Etruscan boy. I hated that kid.

Raj: Mine just took me to his gynaecology office. I got so bored, I’d put vaginal lubricant on the bottom of my shoes and pretend I was ice-skating.

Howard: Yeah, well, my quality father-son time was spending my adolescence looking out the window waiting for my dad to come back someday.

Raj: Yeah, okay, Howard wins.

Leonard: You know, maybe we didn’t have opportunities like this when we were growing up, but right now, there’s a dad that wants to take you on a fishing trip.

Howard: You’re right. Oh! I should do this.

Penny: Great. Here you go. What you’re going to do is you’re going to stick your thumb down its throat, grab the guts and pull.

Howard: Here we go. Oh!

Penny: Oh, look, it’s a female. You can see all the eggs.
