Tim is upset when Maureen Binford (Vicki Lewis) announces she is the new producer of Tool Time. With Al firmly on Maureen's side, Tim can't find anyone to talk to now that Jill has a temporary job.

Quote from Randy

Randy: Mom, we're starving. Tell us where you hid the cookies.
Brad: Mom, come on. We're not having dinner for an hour.
Randy: What are you eating, Mom?
Jill: [swallows] Nothing.
Randy: Hey, that was a Hoop-Dee-Ho.
Jill: Was not.
Randy: Let me smell your breath.
Jill: Hey! There will be no breath smelling. You're so desperate for a snack, go get some raisins.
Randy: Right. Then we can have some salad and a multivitamin.

Quote from Tim

Tim: Hey, Al. Good to see you. I want to get going in a hurry. I want to get to the project house before Maureen gets there.
Al: She's already there.
Tim: You're kidding.
Al: Well, when I drove by, she was showing the crew where the breakfast nook will be.
Tim: What? I told her no breakfast nook!
Al: I know. But I just think maybe you should give Mo a chance.
Tim: Mo? A little nickname now? What are you called? Aaa?

Quote from Tim

Tim: Well, Al, I'm your boss. I gotta keep a professional distance from you. All I'm saying is that... What the hell do you have on?
Al: Well, Mo says sometimes I tend to blend into the background.
Tim: You're supposed to blend into the background.
Al: Well, if you don't like the shirt, Tim, fine. I'm not forcing you to wear one.
Tim: Well, good, because now we won't be mistaken for the Beach Boys.

Quote from Tim

Maureen Binford: Oh, fine. This sun is really drying my skin out.
Al: You know, I have some moisturizer.
Tim: Shut up, Al!
Al: Is there anything I can do for you down here, Tim?
Tim: Yeah, why don't you get your ukulele? You can start the luau.

Quote from Tim

Maureen Binford: All right, everybody. Let's roll!
Tim: Hi. Welcome to Tool Time. As you can see, our 1955 ranch home needs a lot of work, especially the roof. Now, you wanna have a professional examine any weak or discolored areas like these, and make sure they're properly attended to. For now, we'll just hop over these to a safer area. [creak] It's a little weak here. You wanna avoid this area, too. Aah! [crash] [yells]

Quote from Tim

Jill: What's the matter with you? You're limping.
Tim: I fell through a roof.
Jill: What?
Tim: Yeah, right through the subfloor. Luckily the basement broke my fall.
Jill: Oh, honey, are you all right?
Tim: Yeah, my leg's OK. It's my life that's wrecked.
Jill: What do you mean?
Tim: Everything- Everything seems to be changing for me. You went to work. Wilson's taking a bath. Al looks like Don Ho.

Quote from Al

Maureen Binford: Excuse me. I don't mean to disturb you.
Al: You're Maureen, Mr. Binford's daughter, right?
Maureen Binford: Very good memory, Al.
Al: Oh, I couldn't forget you. At the Halloween party, you came dressed as a toggle switch.
Maureen Binford: Yeah, well... I went for different. I mean, how many years in a row can you show up as a hacksaw? [both chuckle]

Quote from Tim

Al: Tim, look who's here. It's Maureen Binford.
Tim: Hey, Maureen. Good to see you. How're you doing?
Maureen Binford: Tim, listen, I gotta tell you. Your show just keeps getting better and better.
Tim: Well, gee, thanks.
Maureen Binford: You're welcome. All that grunting and macho stuff. The audience really responds... even the women. Every time you screw up, they laugh. And believe me, they laugh a lot. [laughs] And then you have your expertise and your sex appeal with Al.
Tim: Maureen, what is it you need, besides glasses?

Quote from Tim

Maureen Binford: Actually, I was gonna ask you that since I'm your new producer.
Tim: Yeah... Whoa, back the truck up. Who made that decision?
Maureen Binford: Daddy.
Tim: Your dad would not make a decision like that without asking me, Maureen.
Maureen Binford: He's been a bit preoccupied lately.
Tim: With what?
Maureen Binford: With the 23-year-old tool model he just married.
Tim: Your dad got married?
Maureen Binford: To Miss Black & Decker. And believe me, I'd like to.

Quote from Al

Tim: Your dad bagged Terry Louise Gardner?
Maureen Binford: You know who she is?
Al: Oh, yeah. She's in the spring catalog - page 141.
Tim: And most of...
Both: 142, yeah.
Tim: Pretty amazing stuff.
Al: Well, we get the catalog. So we have to look through it, because of re... research.
Maureen Binford: I understand.
Tim: Well, you know, the tools come in...
Al: Well, yeah, the tools come in every day...
