Quote from Tim

Tim: Remember, every time O'Brien looks at you, work on that pathetic face, OK? [Brad pouts]
Jill: Oh, you can do better than that. You know the one you make when I say we have to go to Aunt Lucille's for the day? [Tim pouts] Not you, Tim. That's good, that's good.
Tim: Now remember, squeezing out some tears - that could help.

Quote from Jill

Brad: Wow. Another Duesenberg.
Tim: Ohh... This is a limo, too. This is worth over a million bucks.
Jill: What kind of fool would pay a million dollars for a car?
Doug: This kind of fool.
Jill: Oh, you think I said "fool"? I said "fuel." They must use a lot of fuel.

Quote from Tim

Tim: Doug O'Brien, I'd like you to meet my wife Jill.
Jill: Hi.
Tim: And this is my son Sad... I mean, Brad.
Doug: What's wrong with him?
Tim: He's a little sad about the car.

Quote from Jill

Doug: I'm sorry, son, but like I told your father on the phone, I can't sell him back his car.
Jill: Mr. O'Brien, you gotta hear him out.
Doug: There's nothing to talk about. A deal's a deal.
Tim: Mr. O'Brien, I sold this car before I really had a chance to think about it.
Doug: Do you always make decisions without thinking?
Jill: Constantly! He is the most impulsive person that you will ever meet. And I mean that in a bad way.

Quote from Tim

Doug: Look, this car means a lot to me, too. When I was a kid, my daddy had a '33 Ford roadster. He loved that car. And even though he didn't have any money, when he rode around in that car, he felt like a million bucks. When I wanted to start my own business, I didn't have a nickel. Daddy sold his car so I could buy my first pizza oven.
Jill: Wow. And now... you're Papa Mia, the pizza guy.
Doug: When I was on Tool Time, Daddy saw the car and it reminded him of the one he gave up for me. Next month is Daddy's 75th birthday and I can't think of a thing in the world that would make that wonderful old man any happier than this car.
Tim: Buy him a pizza oven.
Jill: Tim, there's no way we're gonna get the hot rod back. You want Daddy to be unhappy on his 75th birthday?
Tim: I don't even know Daddy.

Quote from Jill

Tim: Hey, O'Brien. Is this thing for sale?
Doug: I'll tell you what, one car guy to another, I'll make you a great deal on this car.
Tim: Let's do it!
Brad: All right!
Tim: This is great. Hear that? We have a new car to rebuild.
Jill: Oh, no.

Quote from Jill

Jill: Randy? I got you something else from the clothing store.
Randy: No way. I'm not trying on any more clothes for the rest of my life.
Jill: I think you'll like this.
Randy: It's a gift certificate.
Jill: Yup. Next time you need pants you can just go and get whatever you want.
Randy: And you won't be at the store with me?
Jill: If you like, I won't be in the same country.
Mark: Hey, sounds good to us.
Jill: Thank you, Mark.

Quote from Randy

Jill: What took you so long? It's only, like, a 20-minute drive.
Tim: Yeah, but when the engine dies it takes a little longer.
Brad: Especially when I have to do all the pushing.
Tim: Hey, it's all part of being a car guy, buddy. Well, guys. Take a look at your new kid sister.
Randy: She looks old enough to be our grandmother.
