  1. With Penny (at the convention)

Danny: You're Penny, aren't you? I heard you're the best at Zangen. Penny: I don't know if I'm the best, but I do my best. Danny: That's all anyone can ask. Look, I know Bernadette doesn't like me. But I wanted to tell you that you're doing excellent work. We're always looking for people like you. Penny: Thanks. But I already work for Zangen. Danny: I know. I'm just saying... keep my number. You never know.

  1. With Bernadette (the confrontation)

Bernadette: Danny. What do you want? Danny: Just talking to Penny. It's a professional conversation. Bernadette: Penny, let's go. Danny: Bernadette, you can't keep her forever. One day, she'll want to see what else is out there. Bernadette: That day won't be with you. Danny: (smiling) We'll see.

  1. With Penny (at the bar)

Danny: I'll be direct, Penny. We want to recruit you. And we're willing to make an effort. Penny: What kind of effort? Danny: A new Mercedes. A position with more responsibility. And the chance to never have to answer to Bernadette again. Penny: (pause) ... A Mercedes? Danny: A brand new one. With a sunroof. Penny: (smiling) Okay. I want you to write the offer on a napkin and slide it over to me. Like in the movies. Danny: (laughing) Deal.

  1. With Bernadette (after the interception)

Bernadette: You took his card. And you had a drink with him. Penny: He offered me a Mercedes. Bernadette: (silence) ... And? Penny: And I didn't take it. Because you're my friend. And because you're worth more than Danny Jacobs and his Mercedes. Bernadette: (moved) ... You really think that? Penny: I think you're a bully. But you're my bully.

  1. With Howard (about the rivalry)

Howard: So, this Danny Jacobs? Bernadette: He's the devil. Howard: You say that about all the competitors. Bernadette: Because they're all the devil. But he's the worst. He tried to steal Penny. Howard: And? Bernadette: She refused. (pause) She refused a Mercedes for me. Howard: (silence) ... Penny refused a Mercedes? For you? Bernadette: I know. I'm going to have to be nicer to her now.
