Jill Quote #612
Quote from Jill in Advise and Repent
Jill: Was your wife an only child, by any chance?
Bert: Yeah. As a matter of fact, she is.
Jill: Well, then, could be a classic case.
Bert: Really?
Jill: Yeah. You know, if this is a problem in your relationship, you really should talk with your wife about it.
Bert: Oh, I don't know. I've brought it up before and every time it ends up in a big fight. Maybe I should just leave well enough alone.
Tim: That's good advice for anyone, Jill.
Jill: Avoidance is never a good idea.
Bert: Really?
[Bert throws the shop towel at Tim and follows Jill into the kitchen]
Bert: Maybe we should talk more about this.
Jill: Sure. You want a cookie?

Quote from Randy

Quote from Wilson
Wilson: Well, I'm reminded of a fifth-century Indian book, the Panchatantra, which says, "The first mark of intelligence is not to start things."
Jill: So I shouldn't do anything?
Judith: But the Panchatantra goes on to say, "The second mark of intelligence is to pursue to the end what you have started."
Wilson: Well, actually, Judith, I was just about to finish that quote.
Jill: So I should apologize to them?
Judith: I'm sorry. I thought you'd finished.
Wilson: I was merely pausing for the effect.
Jill: The effect was it seemed like you'd finished, dear.
Wilson: Well, I hadn't, dear.
Jill: You know, um, when couples bicker the way that you're doing right now, sometimes I find that it's useful... [they both stare at Jill] for me to just say bye-bye!
Quote from Jill
Jill: When is Michelle coming over?
Randy: Any minute now.
Tim: Well, I hope her dad gets here quick. Old Bert's going to help me put on the independent suspension on my hot rod.
Jill: Oh, well, that's good, because a dependent suspension can be so needy. [Tim & Brad stare blankly] In my Psychology class that would've gotten a huge laugh.
Tim: And yet here in the kitchen... death.
