Tim Quote #1784
Jill: I know how important they are to you. So I think I've come up with a really good compromise. How about you keep the tickets for five games, and you sell off the rest?
Tim: Five out of 40? You call that a compromise?
Jill: That's $500. I think that's fair.
Tim: Maybe you don't understand the concept here. These are season tickets, not whenever-your-wife-wants-you-to-go tickets.
Jill: So what are you saying, you're not willing to budge at all on this?
Tim: If I give up my tickets because of my wife, other wives are going to pick up on this. Pretty soon, wives everywhere are gonna be going, [feminine voice] "You know, "The Tool Man" gave up his season tickets. You should too." Attendance starts dropping at stadiums. Next thing we know, it's the end of professional sports worldwide.
Jill: You are just completely unwilling to compromise!
Tim: Yeah. I don't even know the meaning of the word "compromise."
Jill: You don't know the meaning to a lot of words.
Tim: And don't you forget it.
[Jill gives the look to the back of Tim's head]

‘The Look’ Quotes
Quote from Tim
Benny: What's the look?
Tim: Oh, come on. It's just the most potent weapon in a woman's arsenal. Her face will transform right in front of you. Her lips get really tight like this.
Marty: Yeah. And then her whole face shrivels up. It's like...
Harry: Yeah. And then her eyes get real small and meet right in the middle of her head like a Cyclops in a housecoat.
Tim: Just when you think you can't take anymore, she lines you up and finishes you off.
Benny: Ohh! I'm never getting married. And not just because women can't stand me.
Quote from Al
Harry: Well, look, he's taking me to the game first because I'm his hardware guy.
Marty: No, no, no. If anyone deserves to go, it's me. I'm his brother.
Al: Excuse me. I'm the one that risks his life every day working next to him.
Marty: Uh, the man's got a point.
Al: All right, OK.
Quote from Wilson
Tim: Well, you got it made. Unattached guy like you... You don't need permission to go to 40 Pistons games.
Wilson: Uh-oh. I take it Jill was not too thrilled with your recent purchase.
Tim: That's putting it mildly. First, she gave me the look.
Wilson: The look!
Tim: You know about the look?
Wilson: Oh, Tim, every man knows about the look. Wives have been giving their husbands the look for untold centuries. As a matter of fact, the look was the reason brides started wearing veils. It was long believed that the penetrating stare of a bride could weaken her husband and render him impotent.
Tim: I thought that was caused by all the brown liquor at the reception.
Wilson: Well, that could do it too, Tim.
