Tim Quote #105

Quote from Tim in Nothing More Than Feelings

Jill: So you, uh, put a lot of work into that car.
Tim: Not really. Just had to remove the damaged short block, get all the damaged parts out, got a new short block, had it milled and bored for me. New piston rings, connecting rods, main bearings, oil pump, fuel pump, water pump, upper motor, polish and port the heads, a new canooter valve, rewired it, add more... Add a little more power, but that's about it, hon.
Jill: I didn't realize that that little oil light could be such a big problem.
Tim: It's just a car, honey. It's not a human being. It's not like the human being I love more than anything else in the world. You know why I like tools? Because they fix things. Tear down a motor, see the problem. It's right there - boom, it's fixed. I wish I could fix things between us that easily.
Jill: Is that an apology?
Tim: I don't think I can apologize enough for the things I do. All I can offer is a lifetime of grovelling at your feet.
Jill: That'd be a start.
Jill: I promise in the future I will always put oil in the car.
Tim: And I'll say nice things about your hair.
Jill: While grovelling?
Tim: You bet. [they hug] I'm... I'm prepared to offer cash gifts.

Quote from Tim

Jill: Tim, the car is running fine.
Tim: It used to be running fine. Inside of a car is an internal combustion engine. Composed of many precision parts running at a high RPM. High RPM produces friction. Friction produces heat. Heat is dissipated by lubrication - oil. When the car didn't get the oil that it needs, it tends to seize up into a rock.
Jill: Are you saying the car's not running?
Tim: We now own a 4,000 pound, four-door boulder.
Jill: You mean I can't drive it?
Tim: Not unless you're Wilma Flintstone.

Quote from Tim

Tim: How long has the oil light been on, Jill?
Jill: Oil light...
Tim: The oil light. Next to the speedometer. A little red light with an oil can on it.
Jill: Oh, that thing. I don't know, two or three days.
Tim: Two or three days? It's a warning light. Didn't it occur to you there might be a little problem?
Jill: I thought if there was a problem with the car, that the light would get brighter or there would be a buzzer.
Tim: A buzzer?! It's a car, not a game show.
