Tim Quote #1284
Quote from Tim in Don't Tell Momma
Tim: It started with such a simple idea. I just wanted to fix this little scratch in her car. Bada-boom, bing, things dropping. Now she's in there calling me... She says I'm obsessive.
Wilson: Well, were you obsessive?
Tim: She doesn't know what it takes to make a great finish on a car. That's all it is, you know. There's two or three coats of acrylic lacquer. Followed by a color sanding between each coat. You got to put two coats of base clear on there. 17 hours of me sanding that thing. It's got to air-dry for a couple of weeks. You pound it down with wax bring out the shine, you buff it out. Baby, you can see yourself in that thing.
Wilson: Tim, do you know what "obsessive" means?
Tim: I just wanted her paint to be perfect, and there's nothing wrong with that.
Wilson: Well, what's wrong is Jill's inside, not talking to you, and you're out here talking to me.
Tim: [grunts] Yeah, that is a little problem, yes.

Quote from Jill
Jill: Tim, why couldn't you just leave my car alone? Why do you have to obsess about a stupid little scratch? This is just a car. It's a hunk of metal used to haul kids to soccer practice.
Tim: This is not a hunk of metal! This used to be a classic.
Jill: It looks like a giant hot dog bun.
Quote from Tim
Tim: Look, look, this could've happened to anybody.
Jill: Yeah, anybody who parked under a crane. And what kind of a crane operator drops a three-ton beam anyway? You know, we should just sue that jerk for all he's worth.
Tim: Oh, we don't wanna do that.
Jill: Why not?
Tim: You married him.
Jill: Oh, no. You did this? You mean we've gotta pay for this?
Tim: I'm sure we got some beam-droppage thing in our insurance.
Quote from Randy
Brad: Um, I don't think the book is in the station wagon. I saw Mark with it.
Jill: What would Mark be doing with my abnormal psychology book?
Randy: Maybe trying to figure out what's wrong with him.
