Tim Quote #1206
Quote from Tim in What You See is What You Get
Al: Now, the underside of this table has been painted, so, Marv, if you wanna come down here... What we're gonna do is chip away a little bit of the paint there, find out what we're dealing with. It's maple, one of my favorite types of wood.
Tim: Yeah, and syrup. Ha-ha-ha.
Al: All right, so next step after you've identified the type of wood is, uh, stripping the wood. Now, obviously, we've stripped this side. We used Insta-Strip by Binford.
Tim: After you finish stripping, acknowledge your applause, gather up your clothes and head back to your trailer.

Quote from Wilson
Tim: She had this computer simulation that showed some cosmetic surgeon's alterations to her body. It reminded me of when she was young, when I first met her. I kinda liked it. Then, like a bonehead, I asked what it would cost to overhaul her whole body.
Wilson: Whoa, major faux pas.
Tim: Major Faux Pas... Was he in the same campaign as General Wow?
Wilson: Tim, I'm not familiar with General Wow, but your situation reminds me of The Naked Ape. [Tim grunts] That is the one exactly, Tim. You see, The Naked Ape is a book which theorizes that men, like apes, are instinctively drawn to younger, more fertile women in order to propagate the species.
Tim: What's Mrs. Naked Ape attracted to?
Wilson: Well, unlike the male of the species, she instinct is be attracted to someone older and more experienced. Someone with more wisdom, sensitivity.
Tim: Wait a minute. What you're saying is if I explain to Jill it was just my instincts talking, I'd be off the hook.
Wilson: No, no, no, no, Tim. What I'm trying to say is you have to learn to understand your instincts, and then you won't be on the hook in the first place.
Tim: [grunts] Oh, yeah, sure.
