Big Bang Theory Quote
Sheldon: Penny! Hello.
Penny: Hey, Sheldon.
Sheldon: What is shaking?
Penny: (pause) I'm sorry?
Sheldon: It's colloquial, a conversation opener. So, do you find the weather satisfying? Are you currently sharing the triumph of some local sports team?
Penny: Whats wrong with you? You're freaking me out.
Sheldon: I'm striking up a casual conversation with you. Saa-uup?
Penny: Please don't do that.
Sheldon: All right, but I'm given to understand that when you have something *awkward* to discuss to someone it's more palatable to preface it with banal chit-chat.
Penny: So this *wasn't* the awkward part?
