The Big Bang Theory – Penny Teaches Howard How To Fish

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.
