SCENE 6: MRS W’S LIVING ROOM
Mike and Howard are on the couch together. Mike is focused on the football game while ignoring Howard
HOWARD- So… Your wife’s in Arizona with the grandkids.
MIKE- Uh-huh.
HOWARD- You know, my mom went to Arizona once. Rode one of those mules down the Grand Canyon. Long story short: They had to shoot the mule.
Mike looks at him but says nothing
HOWARD- (can barely squeak it out) It’s funny because she’s so fat.
Mike keeps staring silently. The doorbell rings. Howard jumps up.
HOWARD- I’ll get that while you finish laughing.
Howard opens the door. Sheldon is in front. Amy is behind him with either chocolate cake or Brown Bread.
AMY- Hi. Happy Thanksgiving.
SHELDON- Smells delicious. Is someone slaving away in the kitchen?
Amy shoves Sheldon from behind and he stumbles past Howard into the house without another word. Amy smiles and follows. Then Penny steps in, shoves a bottle of wine into Howard’s hands, and walks past him without a word. Leonard follows and stops in the doorway.
HOWARD- What’s with her?
LEONARD- Oh. She’s just mad at me because she just found out she’s married to Zack.
HOWARD- What?! (over his shoulder to Penny) That dumbass you used to date?!
Penny walks back into frame, takes the bottle back from Howard, and stalks away.
PENNY- (to Leonard) I can’t believe you made me feel guilty for opening this in the car!

teoriapostmoderna

I was wondering where Mrs. Rostenkowski was.

Amy pushing Sheldon, aw.

Lea2010

Another example that Amy knows how to handle Sheldon. Love it

etc

Penny just gets better and better.

LEONARD- Oh. She’s just mad at me because she just found out she’s married to Zack.
HOWARD- What?! (over his shoulder to Penny) That dumbass you used to date?!
Penny walks back into frame, takes the bottle back from Howard, and stalks away.
PENNY- (to Leonard) I can’t believe you made me feel guilty for opening this in the car!

Now looking at things from Penny's POV, I guess it's a big shock to find out you're married and she's probably still processing it?

etc

She is still processing it like old Penny, getting a wine bottle, drinking and getting mad at Leonard. Sounds like Penny 1.0 to me.

SCENE 7: MRS W’S KITCHEN
Raj is still stirring and juggling (metaphorically) while Bernadette is on the far side near the door working on sweet potatoes. Amy comes in with her cake.
AMY- Need any help?
RAJ- Yeah. Can you reach that gravy boat?
AMY- Sure.
Amy pulls it down from a shelf above the refrigerator and hands it to him. Raj throws a critical look over his shoulder at Bernadette.
RAJ- Great. That makes one of you.
Bernadette looks at him angrily but says nothing. Raj claps and rubs his hands together and looks around the kitchen.
RAJ- OK. We have a lot to do and not much time to do it. Bernadette, you’re in charge of corn, gravy, and yam detail. Amy, you’re in charge of rolls, cranberries, and keeping Bernadette away from the marshmallows. (to Bernadette) That’s right. I see you.
Raj points two fingers to his own eyes then points them at Bernadette.
RAJ-If you have any questions, I’ll be over here basting my ass off. OK. Focus is the key.
Raj runs across the kitchen next to Bernadette and starts mixing turbriskifil drippings. Amy starts to pick up the rolls but instead turns around and looks at them worriedly.
AMY- Did you know Penny married Zack four years ago?
(simultaneously)RAJ- Tell me everything! BERNADETTE- Whaaaa!
Oh. And Bernadette has already managed to stuff a full-sized marshmallow in her mouth, which is why she can’t enunciate properly. When Raj sees it she slowly closes her lips over it and starts chewing like a chipmunk with a mouth full of nuts.

smoguntia

etc for heavens sake, it's a comedy. stop making a drama out of it!

etc

You know except for the Penny stuff, the rest of the episode does sound really funny. Bernadette with the marshmellow got a chuckle out of me just reading it.

phantagrae

Oh, well, thank Cow for that.

Really, the complaining about Penny is getting old. We get it. You don't like this part of the story. Thanks.

Can we sing a different song now?

slicknickshady

I just speak the truth. Don't like it? Ignore it.

phantagrae

The thread isn't heated.

slicknickshady

Looks like it with everyone getting on etc for speaking the truth.

I can't believe so many people here are defending Penny. If a Guy did what she did...i believe the people defending her would be killing Leonard if he did something similar.

The double standards are bothersome. I'm someone who has constantly defended Penny when people were mad at her for almost sleeping with Raj.

Too be as dumb as she is portrayed in this episode is something.

lancer1993

I think it will be a fun ep.

carl1970

The problem is Penny is definitely embarrassed and shocked about this development and she is having a difficult time handling it. Leonard is understandably upset about this, after all his girlfriend is technically married. Penny needs to understand that it is a big deal. Let's see how the episode ends.
