Big Bang Theory ver 2 Ethan Harper × Chloé

S2. Barbarian Sublimation

In apartment 4A we see Sheldon playing a game on his laptop.

Sheldon:
Fellow warriors, this is Sheldor the Conqueror. We are about to enter Axel's fortress. Now this is a long run, so let's do another bladder check. Alright Barry, we'll wait for you again, but you really should see a doctor. (There is banging at the door.) Sheldor is AFK.

He exits the apartment to find Penny having trouble getting into her apartment.

Sheldon:
Penny, are you experiencing some sort of difficulty?

Penny:
Yes, I can't get my stupid door open.

Sheldon:
You appear to have put your car key in the door lock, are you aware of that?

Penny:
Yeah!

She exclaimed glaring at him.

Sheldon:
Alright then.

He turns to return inside, and just then one of the grocery bags Penny is holding falls to the floor spilling groceries.

Penny:
Dammit, dammit, dammit, dammit, dammit, dammit.

Sheldon:
Would it be possible for you to do this a little more quietly?

Penny:
I can't get the damned key out.

Sheldon:
Well that's not surprising. That Baldwin lock on your door uses traditional edge mounted cylinders, whereas the key for your Volkswagon uses a centre cylinder system.

She turns to glare at him once again.

Penny:
Thank you, Sheldon.

She said with irritation.

Sheldon:
You're welcome. Point of inquiry, why did you put your car key in the door lock?

Penny:
Why? I'll tell you why. Because today I had an audition, it took me two hours to get there, I waited an hour for my turn, and before I could even start they told me I looked too Midwest for the part. But interestingly enough when Chloé auditioned for the same part she got a call back. She's my sister, and we grew up together, and they said I was too Midwest? What the hell does that even mean?

She questioned with anger

Sheldon:
Well, the American Midwest was mostly settled by Scandinavian and Germanic peoples who, well they have a characteristic facial bone structure....

Penny:
I know what it means, Sheldon!

She snapped as she began to pick up her groceries.

Penny:
God, you know, I have been in L.A. for almost two years now, and I haven't got a single acting job, I have accomplished nothing, haven't gotten a raise at work, haven't even had sex in six months, and just now when I was walking up those stairs a fly flew in my mouth and I ate it.

Sheldon:
Well, actually, insects are a dietary staple in many cultures, they're almost pure protein.

She then picked up the bag she has just repacked, whereupon the bottom falls out and the groceries fall to the floor again.

Penny:
Oh, sonofabitch!

Sheldon:
I believe the condensation on your frozen foods weakened the structural integrity of the bag.

She glared at him.

Sheldon:
But returning to your key conundrum, perhaps you should call a locksmith and have him open the door for you.
