Al Quote #258
Quote from Al in 'Twas the Flight Before Christmas
Al: I made a promise before my dad died that I would take care of my mother. And I just... I can't turn my back on her.
Tim: Wait a minute. No one's asking you to do that. I think Ilene just wants to feel that she won't take a back seat to your mother. I mean, is she or is she not the most important woman in your life?
Al: She's the most important woman under 50.
Tim: You gotta do better than that, Al.
Al: I don't know if I can!
Tim: When you made that promise to your dad, don't you think he would've wanted you to fall in love and have a family?
Al: You're right.
Tim: I know I'm right. If your dad were here right now, what would he be saying?
Al: "Al, stay with Mother. I'm going to the track." I see your point. I think I have to set some limits with my mother.
Tim: Yes.
Al: And I'm gonna start by getting rid of this stupid beeper.

Quote from Jill
Al: You know, Ilene, I resent your attitude towards my mother. She's a wonderful, giving woman who lights up all the lives she touches.
Ilene: Oh, please! I am so sick of you putting your mother up on a pedestal!
Jill: [quietly to Tim] You got to admire him for having the strength to hoist her up there. Oh, my God! I'm turning into you.
Tim: It's kind of fun, isn't it?
Quote from Tim
Tim: We really have to get there. Is there a car-rental counter here?
Clerk: Of course. [removes the "Ticket Counter" sign and puts up a "Pilgrim Car Rental" sign] Now, what kind of car would you like? We're running a special on convertibles.
Tim: It's four degrees outside.
Clerk: Then I'd advise you to leave the top up.
Al: Could you give us a map so we could find our way to Kinross?
Clerk: No problem. I don't think the map is going to do you much good.
Al: Why not?
Clerk: The roads are closed.
Tim: Well, why are we renting a car if we can't drive it anywhere?
Clerk: I was wondering the same thing myself.
Quote from Al
Tim: Well, it looks like we're going to make it home in time for Christmas, Al.
Al: The only problem is I still don't know what to do about Ilene and my mother. How can I choose between the woman who means more to me than anything, or my girlfriend?
