Tim: We've taken the first coat off of this table, now we're ready to sand it down and put our last coat of stain on there.
Al: Now, before you get started, be sure to wear protective eyewear and dust mask.
Tim: That's right.
Al: Because allergic reactions to wood are common when working with members of the nut-bearing family.
Tim: Like the Borlands.
Al: It's also a good idea to wear protective gloves.
Tim: Al, you're starting to act like my mother. If that beard were any thicker, you'd look like your mother.
Al: Tim, I think it's a good idea to wear the gloves.
Tim: I've been working with wood all my life. I'm not allergic to hardwood.
Al: That's not the point. There's a lot of dust here and... Well, you can develop an allergy over time. Symptoms can include puffiness around the eyes, severe rash, extreme swelling.
Tim: Oh, Al, I think you may be right. [Tim's hands swell up] My eyes are really itchy.
