Let alone sleep with him?
She seems too smart to sleep with a bozo like him
Bad writing.
This film is a major mess. From the bad acting (Swayze), bad direction, bad dialogue...it's become a campy classic due to all the absurdity.
she seemed desperate to get some action, no matter how smart she acted

Like Penny, she wanted to marry a rich doctor so she could be a guest at Kellermans with 30 pairs of coral sandals and some side cash to tip the young waiters.
I've been through a terrible ordeal!
I don't see her working to get a guy who's at Yale Medical School.
Robbie was too big of an ass and she's too bright for a guy like that.
I agree with the earlier post, lazy/bad writing.
You mean like Lisa, not penny

I agree. Penny was clearly not a 'newbie' at the wily ways of men, so why was she so easily conned by Robbie?!
And she clearly didn't feel it was some drunken roll in the hay either, she thought he cared for her.
And lastly, without trying to sound crass (this is meant to insult Robbie NOT Penny):
Why would Robbie be interested, even in sex, with Penny?? He was a handsome up & comer at the place, and girls like Lisa clearly went for him....so why go for someone who he'd feel was 'beneath him' like Penny?
Makes no sense.
I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus.
Didn't he discover America?
Penfold, shush.
Penny was a former Rockette. Something for Robbie to brag about to his frat buddies.
shareIt looks like Robbie could be a charmer when he wasn't a total sleaze bucket. Obviously she was a fool who fell for his one liners. Much like Baby's sister Lisa.

Yeah, in my head I think she might have played hard to get at first, but he was persistent in pursuing her and she thought it was charming.
