Tim Quote #591
Quote from Tim in Bell Bottom Blues
Tim: I know what I'm doing here. I'm gonna remodel it to maximize every square inch of that thing. Look what I ordered for you at the Furniture Barn today.
Jill: What did you order for me at the Furniture Barn today? [Tim whistles] A Super Goliath modular closet system.
Tim: Oh-ho-ho. Chrome shelves, tubular steel rods at top and bottom. All the rivets are hidden, you can't even see... Matte-black finish everywhere. It's got seven drawers in the middle of it.
Jill: Tim, I just need someplace to hang my blouses. This looks like an offshore oil rig.
Tim: Oh, yeah. Just like the North Sea, where the men smell like fish. [grunts]

Quote from Al
Tim: You have to have a bigger toolbox to compensate for your teensy-weensy paycheck.
Al: No, Tim. I need a bigger toolbox because I'm your assistant. And I need to be ready for any of your particular needs.
Tim: Oh, yeah, you do. [grunts] You're really shaping up around here, Al.
Al: Well, I have plenty of room in here for bandages, couple of ice packs.
Tim: Stop it, Al. Cut it out.
Al: Oh, a tourniquet.
Tim: I hope you have a job application in there, buddy.
Al: Crutches.
Tim: Huh?
Al: IV unit.
Quote from Wilson
Tim: You know, Wilson... Brad's going through this thing where he doesn't want me to hug him anymore.
Wilson: Mm-hm, mm-hm, mm-hm, mm-hm. He's finally reached that age.
Tim: It's a funny thing, you know. He doesn't want me to touch him, but he'll still wrestle and roughhouse with me.
Wilson: Well, that's because throughout history men have been more comfortable expressing affection through combative gestures. Such as the salute.
Tim: The salute?
Wilson: Oh, yes, Tim. In the Middle Ages, when knights on horseback would pass by each other, they would raise the visors of their helmets to expose their face, and show each other that they were friends. And that became...
Tim: A salute.
Wilson: A sign of friendship and respect. In the same vein, the handshake evolved when men would extend their weapon hand to show that they were unarmed. [shakes Tim's hand through the fence]
Tim: Or to show they didn't have a little joke buzzer in there.
Wilson: There you go, neighbor. Men's gestures of friendship, and respect, grow out of competition and combat.
Quote from Jill
Jill: All right, all right, all right. I'll clean the closet out.
Tim: There's got to be something in here you can get rid of.
Jill: Yeah, but I stayed married to it because of the kids.
