Human Contact

Leonard: You wanna talk about not getting love from a parent, you know what I used to do when I was little to have some sensation of human contact?

Penny: Yeah you grabbed your penis and wouldn't let go.

Penny: ...Your mother told me.

Leonard: Course she did. Anyway that's not what I was gonna say. When I was 10 years old, I built a hugging machine.

Penny: A hugging machine?

Leonard: Yeah, I got a dressmakers mannequin, I stuffed it with an electric blanket so it would be warm and I built two radio-controlled arms that would hug me and pat my back.

Penny: That is so sad.

Leonard: You know what the saddest part was?

Penny: What?

Leonard: My father used to borrow it.
