Quote from Tim in Abandoned Family

Wilson: Well, Tim, sometimes it's hard for people to accept new ideas.
Tim: Well, not me. Thank you.
Wilson: Well, you're a very special man, quite like Galileo.
Tim: Yeah. Had his wine.
Wilson: No, no, no, Tim. I'm talking about the 17th-century Italian astronomer. He was ridiculed for teaching that the earth revolves around the sun.
Tim: And he believed that?
Wilson: Tim, the earth does revolve around the sun.
Tim: Oh, yeah, yeah. Sure, yeah, it does. It's just we're spinning so we don't notice it.
Wilson: There you go, good neighbor.
Tim: What happened to him?
Wilson: Well, he was threatened with torture and forced to confess that he was wrong.
Tim: That's what Jill would like to do to me. But I'm not confessing anything 'cause I'm not doing anything wrong.
Wilson: Tim, that's not the point of the story.
Tim: I don't care. I'm gonna keep doing things my way because we're getting things done. Thanks a lot, Wilson. [exits]
Wilson: Tim. Tim? Can we talk about compromise?
