Jill Quote #978
Quote from Jill in From Top to Bottom
Jill: Oh, and I can never talk to him about what I'm studying because he thinks psychology is totally bogus.
Kathleen: So you must be pretty resentful.
Jill: Oh, no, no, please. Don't misconstrue what I'm saying as anger towards my husband. I could never be angry at a man who's in such a vulnerable state. [Tim groans as he watches on TV]
Barbra Canfield: Exactly what do you mean by a vulnerable state?
Jill: Well, he's in mid-life crisis. I mean, he's emotionally fragile.
[as the guys watch in the hardware store:]
Marty: Oh, you poor hunter-gatherer, you.
Benny: Let me get you a tissue.
Al: Would a hug help?

Quote from Jill
Barbra Canfield: Jill, you're the psychologist. What do you think is going on under the surface with these guys?
Jill: Well, it's very common. Often a man feels threatened when a woman usurps his role as hunter-gatherer. I think that's Diane & Kathleen's husbands reacted the way they did.
Barbra Canfield: Well, why do you think your husband is so understanding? Why is he the exception to the rule?
Jill: Well, Tim is one of a kind. I mean, Tim breaks all the rules. Tim breaks everything.
Quote from Harry
Benny: So, Tim, we haven't seen much of you lately. Should I take that personally?
Tim: Yes. I've been working really hard on my hot rod. I was trying to get this thing done by Friday.
Harry: Well, you must have been busy. You haven't spent any money here in weeks. I had to cancel my trip to Hawaii.
Al: I just talked to Delores. She didn't say anything about a trip.
Harry: Delores wasn't invited. Besides, she's on her own vacation. She's scaring the bulls in Pamplona.
Quote from Jill
Barbra Canfield: Jill, how did your husband react when you told him you were going back to school?
Jill: Tim?
Barbra Canfield: If that's your husband.
Jill: Well, as memory serves, he was very supportive.
Kathleen: Boy, I wish I had a husband like yours. Mine's a total caveman.
Diane: Mine, too. When I told him I wanted my own career, he couldn't even articulate words. He just kind of went...
Jill: [grunts]
Diane: How did you know that?
Jill: Lucky guess.
