Wilson: Have you talked to Trudy about this?
Al: Oh, I can't. I don't want to hurt her feelings.
Wilson: Well, what about you? You know, the patriot Thomas Paine said, "It is necessary to the happiness of a man that he be faithful to himself."
Al: I suppose you're right.

Tim: Let's take a look at this van, shall we? It's a custom-made Chevy half-ton. Custom-made flares. It's got a duel rear axle, aluminum wheels, 440 horse 350, but inside is the real story. This thing is equipped to fix anything from a Hoover vacuum to the Hoover Dam. Complete set of Allen wrenches, circular saw, cordless drill, table vise. [holds up a bag of Cheetos] Even one of Al's vices.
Al: And here we have a laptop computer with a complete set of home repair manuals on CD-ROM.
Tim: We call it the brains of the operation.
Al: Something we've never called Tim.

Al: Oh, no. Trudy, I really like you.
Trudy: You do?
Al: Oh, yeah. I remember the first time I saw you, you had that wire in one hand, and the rat in the other hand, and I said to myself, "Oh, boy, Al! Don't let this one get away!"

Heidi: Welcome to Tool Time on location. And now the star of the show, Tim "The Tool Man" Taylor!
Tim: Thank you, everybody, and welcome to Tool Time. I am Tim "The Tool Man" Taylor, and, of course, you all know my assistant, Al Borland.
Al: To give something back to the community, Binford has designed this complete workshop on wheels.
Tim: We'll be coming into your neighborhood to help with your household repairs.
Al: That's right, we're equipped to fix your tools, your car, your plumbing.
Tim: And on a good day, your schnauzer.

Tim: Moving on. We even have our own paint department on this van. You can create the custom color of your choice, right over here.
Al: And paint isn't the only thing we make to order.
Tim: Because a working man works up a hearty appetite. That's why our circular saw doubles as a deli slicer. We'll make you a salami and oak sandwich. Or how about a dagwood, extra lean?
Al: This brazing furnace? Well, it's also a barbecue grill.
Tim: So while we're sharpening your ax, "ax us" for a hamburger. You can wash it down with a Binford 6100 milkshake because our paint mixer doubles as a blender. Mmm, mmm, mmm. What flavor's that?
Al: White semi-gloss.

Tim: I don't get it. We've been driving around for 20 minutes. Where is everybody?
Al: Maybe nobody has anything broken.
Tim: Something is always broken, Al.
Heidi: Guys, we forgot something.
[As the Tool Time theme plays from the van, a bunch of guys excitedly run towards it with their tools]

Al: There you go, Smitty. Brand-new peephole.
Tim: That should cut down on those unexpected visits from your ex-wife, huh?
Smitty: God bless you, Tool Man. You have given me hope.
Tim: Okay, Larry. I finished working on your weed hacker. Did the work myself, so I gave you a little bit more power. Gratis, man. Added a little bit of weight, so the balance is a little different. So let me show you about handling this bad boy. Al, help me out. Hold it.All right, safety first, folks. Always use your goggles. But now the motor's a little heavier now. Starting is the same. All right. Hold on to here. Gotta give it a crank, there. Oh, yeah. Little weed here. Little weed there. Just like butter! [inaudible] There you go, Larry. Start some hacking, buddy.
Al: Nicely done, Tim.
Tim: Thank you, Al.
Al: Okay, well, that's it for Tool Time.
[The tree where Tim was weed-whacking falls back and crushes a shed]

Tim: What are we having for dinner?
Jill: Well, the boys are having leftover something. And you and I are going to Al's new girlfriend's for dinner.
Tim: We are?
Jill: Yeah. He said that he told you all about it. Don't you ever listen to anything he says?
Tim: I don't have to listen to Al. He's my assistant. He gets paid a handsome wage to listen to me.
Jill: When are you gonna get used to the fact that the whole world does not revolve around you?
Tim: I'm used to that fact. I'm working right now on "Why not?"

Jill: Well, regardless, we're having dinner with Al and Trudy tonight.
Tim: Gee, I can't wait!
Jill: He said that they've known each other for about a month, and she's really nice.
Tim: I know her. They met on Tool Time. Don't you remember? She was that frumpy kook with the rat that did the wiring. She wasn't really the rat lady, but the real rat bit me on the nose? It's gonna be a nightmare.
Jill: It'll be fine.
Tim: Oh, you say that now, but wait till after dinner, Al undoes that belt. And those three bloodcurdling words, "Let's play Twister!"

Al: All right, so would anyone like some wine? I have a lovely pinot.
Tim: I'm sure you do. I'll have the wine, though.
