Tim Quote #688

Quote from Tim in Bye Bye Birdie

Tim: In order to get a new floor, we gotta lift off the old floor.
Al: That's right. And for that, we can use a simple, basic, scraper.
Tim: But that wouldn't be any fun. Let's use the Dry Ice method. You just put Dry Ice down there, it lifts the asphalt tiles right up.
Al: Actually, Tim... Uh... Using Dry Ice, you'd need an awful lot of Dry Ice for that to work.
Tim: For once, Al, you're totally correct.
Al: So what we'll do is, we'll be using the... [engine starts] the simple, basic, scraper. And you can pick this up at just about any hardware store...
[After Tim drives onto set in a Skid Steer Loader, the vehicle breaks through the wooden floor and tilts forward, crushing Al's mother's tea set]
Tim: We'll be right back after these messages from Binford Tools.

Quote from Wilson

Tim: I want Brad to be a good student.
Wilson: Mm-hm.
Tim: So I told him that multiplying compound fractions is a real important part of that. But, you know, between you and me, it's kinda useless information.
Wilson: Well, I don't know about that, Tim. There was a time when I thought my extensive research into ancient tribal cultures, obscure scientific data, the thoughts of great philosophers, would never come in handy. Then you moved in.

Quote from Randy

Randy: Guess I'd better get my books.
Jill: Not so fast. Why doesn't Brad wanna go to school?
Randy: Uh... 'Cause he and Jennifer broke up.
Jill: They did? Why? What happened?
Randy: I don't know.
Jill: Well, she must have dumped him, or he wouldn't be so depressed.
Randy: Yeah, that's it. You know how sensitive Brad is.
Jill: His little heart is broken.
Randy: And his little tongue is burned.

Quote from Jill

Brad: Well, why do I have to learn how to multiply compound fractions? I'm never gonna use them.
Tim: You use 'em every day.
Brad: When?
Jill: Well, like, when I go to the grocery store and I buy a pound and a half of cheese.
Brad: Yeah, but you're not multiplying anything.
Jill: Well, you didn't let me finish.
Tim: Why don't you finish that?
Jill: Well, I buy a pound and a half of cheese and then I multiply that by... a gallon and a half of milk.
Brad: But why would you do that?
Jill: Because... Because I'm... making cheese milk.
Jill: Now go get your math book. We are going to teach you how to multiply compound fractions.
Tim: Couldn't we just punish him? Send him in his room without his cheese milk? [Jill laughs]
