Good morning everybody, hope you’re all well! I celebrated my birthday this Sunday just gone, I got some lovely presents from my family that I was not expecting to get and also had a facetime with my sister and nephew which made the day extra special…as another little treat we’re going to be visiting them this weekend which we’re looking forward to, especially before my mum’s pre-op appointment next week, as there are bound to be a lot of laughs watching Isaac doing his thing and hearing all the stories on what has happened this week.
Anyway on with today’s post and the sixth and penultimate edition of The Big Bang Theory; Best Character Quotes, featuring Penny…With a show consisting primarily of male protagonists, Penny stood out from the beginning. It wasn’t until the show was a few seasons in that another female character was added into the main cast, making Penny the female character with the most screen time. As The Big Bang Theory progressed and the viewers got to grow with the characters, Penny’s transformation became one of the best on the show. Watching her go from the girl next door to the one everyone goes to for advice throughout the course of the show’s 12 seasons. While some of the show’s biggest catchphrases often come from Sheldon, Penny is another character with some of the most memorable lines. Her thinly veiled insults are often covered by calling that person “Sweetie.” Sometimes she makes quips about the guys right to their faces because they genuinely have no idea what she’s talking about since they are so swept up in their own worlds. Nevertheless, Penny’s lines should not be forgotten.
(Sheldon knocks on Penny’s door three times)
Penny: “Who do we love?”
Sheldon: “Penny.” (Knocks 3 times)
Penny: “Who do we love?”
Sheldon: “Penny.” (Knocks 3 times)
Penny: “Who do we love?”
Sheldon: “Penny.” (5×10 – The Flaming Spittoon Acquisition)
Leonard: “Oh, a gift certificate for motorcycle lessons. Very thoughtful.”

Penny: “Oh, I didn’t tell you? You’re banished from the Cheesecake Factory.”
Sheldon: “Why?”
Penny: “Well, you have three strikes. One, coming in. Two, sitting down. And three, I don’t like your attitude.” (2×7 – The Panty Pinata Polarization)
Sheldon: “Now remember, you were given powerful pain medication and a muscle relaxer, so don’t operate heavy machinery, and try not to choke on your own drool.”
Sheldon is about to leave.
Penny: “Wait! You have to help me get into bed. (laughs) “Sheldon has to help me get into bed”. Bet you thought I’d never say that!”
Sheldon: “Yes. Charmed. Your drug-addled candor knows no bounds.”
Sheldon follows her to her room after shutting the door. He pulls down the covers to help Penny into bed.
Penny: “You know people think you are this weird robot man who’s so annoying all the time and you totally are. But then it’s like that movie Wall-E at the end. You’re so full of love and you can save a plant and get fat people out of their floaty chairs.”
Sheldon: “That’s a fairly labored metaphor but I appreciate the sentiment behind it.”
Penny: “Sing ‘Soft Kitty’ to me.”
Sheldon: “‘Soft kitty’ is for when you’re sick, you’re not sick.”
Penny: “Injured and drugged is a kind of sick.”
Sheldon: (sitting on the bed next to her) “Soft Kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur…”
Penny: “Wait wait. Let’s sing it as a round. I’ll start. Soft Kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur…” Sheldon doesn’t join in.
Penny: “So that is when you come in. I’ll start over. Soft Kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur…” Still nothing from Sheldon.
Penny: “I’ve got all night Sheldon.” She starts again.
Penny: “Soft Kitty, warm kitty…”
Sheldon: “Soft Kitty, warm kitty…” They both sing the entire song together. (3×8 – The Adhesive Duck Deficiency)

Penny: “No, I’m from Omaha!” (1×1 – Pilot)
Penny: “Leonard, Howard, and Raj, they aren’t like other guys. They’re special.”
Alicia: “Okay, they’re special, and?”

Alicia: “Shields?”
Penny: “Yeah. You know like in Star Trek and you’re in battle, and you raise the shields.”

Penny: “Leonard, why do you always do this? Listen to me, you’re the one I’m with. You know I love you. So will you please relax, because you’re driving me crazy.”
Leonard: “You know that’s the first time you ever said you love me.”
Penny: “Yeah.”
Leonard: “We’re just supposed to pretend it’s not a big deal?”
Penny: “That’s exactly what we’re gonna do because you’re about to make me cry. And we both know if I start crying, you’re gonna start crying.”
Leonard: “You’re right, I should go.” (6×8 – The 43 Peculiarity)
Penny: “I can’t believe it. if I hadn’t been working the dinner shift, I would’ve run right into the robbers.”
