Tim Quote #22
Quote from Tim in Mow Better Blues
Mark: Want me to get you a towel, Dad?
Tim: Why would I want a towel?
Mark: To wipe the grease off your hands.
Tim: Grease is our friend. When you work on heavy-duty machinery, you expect some grease on your hands. As a matter of fact, you like grease all over. Kinda like war paint. [puts grease on Mark's face] Yeah. Chief Spark Plug. [grunts] We're gonna need a variety of tools today, so you wanna make sure you get all your tools lined up within easy reach.
Mark: What's this one?
Tim: Ooh, man. That's my Tolan precision-engineered torque wrench. See the gauge there? Measures pounds per square inch. You use this for all your delicate bolts, like on the engine head, and when you bolt the engine to the chassis.
Mark: Looks old.
Tim: Oh, it's not old. It's experienced. This is the Yoda of my tool bench, right here. Yeah. It's been in my family almost 20 years. My dad gave it to me, and someday I'm gonna give it to you.

Quote from Jill
Tim: That wrench has gotta be around here someplace. You know, it just didn't get up and walk away, Jill.
Jill: OK, you're right. I'm ready to talk. I sneak down here at night, take all your tools, go out to the backyard, put 'em in a big pile, and dance around 'em naked.
Tim: What time would that be?
Jill: Sometime right after you go to sleep.

Tim: Will we?

Tim: So we'll put a little deodorant right there in the elbow?
