Episode Summary
 
Leonard and Sheldon visit a high IQ sperm bank, but have regrets about going, so they leave, only to feel guilty afterwards. When they arrive back at the apartment, they see a beautiful blond woman, Penny, in the apartment across the hallway and they attempt to befriend her. Sheldon, who has no experience being around someone like Penny, doesn’t know what to do, while Leonard really takes a shine to her. Meanwhile, Howard makes numerous attempts to impress Penny, while Koothrappali is too shy to talk to her.

Episode Quotes
 
Sheldon: There's some poor woman who's going to pin her hopes on my sperm. What if she winds up with a toddler who doesn't know if he should use an integral or a differential to solve for the area under a curve?
Leonard: I'm sure she'll still love him.
Sheldon: I wouldn't.
 
Penny: So... what do you guys do for fun around here?
Sheldon: Well, today we tried masturbating for money.
 
Leonard: That's probably enough about us. So tell us about you.
Penny: Ok... I'm a Sagittarius, which probably tells you way more than you need to know.
Sheldon: Yes, it tells us that you participate in the mass cultural delusion that that sun's apparent position in relation to arbitrarily defined constellations at the time of your birth somehow affects your personality.
 
Penny: I'm a vegetarian... well, except for fish... and the occasional steak. I love steak!!
Sheldon: That's interesting. Leonard can't process corn.
 
Penny: God, you know, four years I lived with him. Four years! That's like as long as high school!
Sheldon: It took you four years to get through high school??
