Quote from Tim in Birth of a Hot Rod
Jill: I see you met Gus. Here you go. Gus is almost finished repairing the stove.
Tim: You hired a repairman.
Jill: Yes. I did.
Gus: I hope my work gets the Tim Taylor seal of approval.
Tim: Well, let's see what you did.
Gus: OK. I adjusted the screws on the gas line, checked the electronic ignition switch and replaced the burner manifold assembly.
Tim: Yeah, just what I woulda done.
Gus: Wait till all the guys down at the shop hear that Tim "The Tool Man" Taylor needed me to do his household repairs.
Tim: You don't really need to spread that around.
Gus: Are you kidding? I'm gonna tell everyone I know.

Quote from Tim
Jill: I tell you what. I am going to fix the stove and I will fix the ice dispenser.
Tim: You are so cute.
Jill: What? You don't think I can do it?
Tim: No, I have a lot of faith. Lot of faith in a woman who uses tool terms like "whatchamacallit," "thingamajig" and my personal favorite, "doohickey."
Quote from Wilson
Jill: What is it with men, Wilson? You know, they'll spend hours on an engine, putting up a satellite dish, but they won't take five minutes and fix a simple little doorknob.
Wilson: Well, Jill, I find your question astute and sagacious.
Tim: Give it to her, Wilson.
Jill: That's a compliment, Tim.
Wilson: See, Jill, historically, men have been drawn to the jobs that bring them attention and glory, like discovering new lands or winning wars. Women, however, have been expected to work quietly and steadily to maintain the home.
Jill: But that's a long time ago, Wilson. I mean, times are changing. Women are working, men are staying at home, both are working. Roles are reversing.
Wilson: Trenchant and perspicacious.
Tim: Now, that can't possibly be a compliment.
Wilson: I'm afraid so, Tim.
Tim: Oh, you did it to me again.
Quote from Tim

Jill: Well, that's kinda nice.
Tim: Who said that?
Wilson: You did.
Tim: [grunts] I used to be a pretty smart fella.
