Tim Quote #616
Quote from Tim in Howard's End
Jill: You are such a hypocrite.
Tim: Me? I'm not the one sneaking around, opening my own checking account.
Jill: Since when is it sneaking around for me to go out in broad daylight and open an account with my money?
Tim: "My money. My money. My..."
Jill: Yes. And I need it, because without it all I've got are three kids and a couple of coasters.
Tim: You act like it's my fault I make all the money and pay for everything around here.
Jill: Well, why don't you just take everything around here? Why don't you take my checking account too?
Tim: Why do I want that? There's no money in it.

Quote from Wilson
Wilson: Tim, I'm talking about the Modoc Indian tribe. In their native tongue, they have no word for "yours" or "mine," only one word... for "ours." Each man's material possession belongs to the whole tribe.
Tim: Must be difficult when it comes to underwear.
Wilson: You see, Tim, in the 20th century, our culture tends to measure a man's worth by his possessions.
Tim: And I got some cool stuff, too.
Wilson: That gives you a feeling of power, doesn't it?
Tim: Oh, you bet...
Wilson: And control over your life.
Tim: Oh, control, ha-ha.
Wilson: And control over your mate.
Tim: Yeah... Oh, yeah. I... You're saying that I want to own everything so I can control Jill?
Wilson: Well, Tim, if you own everything, you have all the power.

Tim: By satisfying every one of your needs.
Jill: That'll use up about 20 bucks.
Quote from Al
Tim: In relationships, you've gotta be equal. Share things equally, no matter who makes the money. 'Cause Al and I have a good relationship. We share. But I'm no more valuable than Al.
Al: I agree.
Tim: Even though I make a lot more money. And I get full medical coverage.
Al: You get full medical?
Tim: Sure. But Al and I have learned how to share. On the job site, there's no difference between Al's tools and my tools.
Al: Actually, Tim, there is. At the end of the job... [clicking] my tools still work.
