Penny Hofstadter : Hey, where you going?
Leonard Hofstadter : Back to the dry cleaner. Look at this. They didn't get the stain out of my Starfleet uniform.
Penny Hofstadter : Well, if you didn't make me wear the green body paint in bed, you wouldn't have to get it dry cleaned so much.
Leonard Hofstadter : Nah, it's worth it.

Penny Hofstadter : [her phone chimes] Leonard, did you really just text me from the couch to put extra mustard on your sandwich?
Leonard Hofstadter : I was worried you might not check your e-mail.
Penny Hofstadter : [her phone chimes again] I swear to god, I will throw this out.
Leonard Hofstadter : That one was not me.
Penny Hofstadter : [checking her phone] Oh, wait, it was just your mom.
Leonard Hofstadter : My mother's texting you?

Leonard Hofstadter : You got a sec?
Amy Farrah Fowler : Sure. What's up?
Leonard Hofstadter : Penny's been talking to my mother like they're best friends, and it's kind of freaking me out.
Amy Farrah Fowler : Okay... I am pretty sure they're not best friends. 'Cause you can only have one best friend. And Penny has that, and...
[she clicks her tongue]
Amy Farrah Fowler : ...it's me.
Leonard Hofstadter : Oh, really? Is she FaceTiming with you right now? Because she's FaceTiming with my mom, and believe me, that is not a face you want to spend time with.

Leonard Hofstadter : I want to know, why aren't you proud of me?
Dr. Beverly Hofstadter : Well, isn't the real question why aren't you proud of yourself?
Leonard Hofstadter : No, that is *a* question - and I ask it a lot - but let's stick with the one I asked you.
Dr. Beverly Hofstadter : But why do you think I'm not proud of you?
Leonard Hofstadter : Because you never say it? But two days into chatting with Penny, and you can't stop telling her how great she is.
Dr. Beverly Hofstadter : She is great. Honestly, of all of my children's spouses, she's the one that I'm most impressed by.
Leonard Hofstadter : Seriously?
Dr. Beverly Hofstadter : Yes. She's confident, she's thoughtful, and she never complained about you once. I know what kind of strength that takes.
Leonard Hofstadter : So Penny's your favorite?
Dr. Beverly Hofstadter : I suppose she is. You married well, Leonard, and for that, I am proud of you.
-
Penny Hofstadter : Do you not want me to be friends with your mom?
Leonard Hofstadter : Well, let's be clear. I... I married you to hurt her. You're kind of ruining it.

[following their own trains of thought]
Amy Farrah Fowler : Well, I have been pretty busy lately. Maybe I've been neglecting our friendship.
Leonard Hofstadter : Penny knows I have a complicated relationship with my mother; it's like she doesn't even care.
Amy Farrah Fowler : And with everything going on at the lab and planning the wedding, I just... I have so little free time.
Leonard Hofstadter : Penny doesn't know how manipulative my mother can be. Did you know there's such a thing as reverse, reverse, reverse psychology? Because...
[indicating his head]
Leonard Hofstadter : ...there is.
