Tim Quote #1946
Quote from Tim in Tanks for the Memories
Mark: So, Dad, how did you do at the Marine base?
Randy: Yeah, Dad. You told us about Mom, but you never told us how you did.
Tim: Well... Let's put it this way the Marines said no one's ever driven a tank like your old man.
Brad: You were that good, huh?
Tim: I don't want to brag. You know, but I was in my element, guys. Machines, Marines, latrines and lots and lots of beans. 1500 horsepower sitting behind me. I'm the master of that thing. [grunts] My only regret? You guys weren't there to see it.
Randy: Well, actually, Dad, you know, we can see it. The Marines made a tape for Mom.
Tim: You can't look at that. That's top-secret!
Randy: Oh, yeah? Really?
Tim: Give it back.

Quote from Al
Al: Well, that was a pretty quick game of Scrabble. Now we're ready for Chinese Checkers.
Brad: Oh, sorry, Al. Mom says we're not allowed to be playing "Chinese Checkers" before bed. Makes us too hyper.
Al: All right. Well, if conventional games don't tickle your fancy, I have a board game that you have never seen.
I invented this myself. It is the prototype for what could become a national craze.
Mark: "The Tool Time Game"? Awesome! How do you play?
Al: Well, you have your choice of figures. You can be Heidi. You can be Al. And you can be Tim in a body cast.
Brad: All right, I got Heidi.
Randy: Al.
Mark: Aw, man!
Quote from Al
Tim: Well, let's cut to the chase. Is there any way you could swing it so that I could drive a tank?
Lt. Col. McDougal: Well, Tim, if you ever came to California, where I'm stationed, I'm sure we could arrange it.
Tim: All right!
Al: Excuse me, Colonel, but letting Tim drive a tank, well... that's jeopardizing national security.
Tim: Let it go, Al, please?
Lt. Col. McDougal: Al, you got nothing to worry about. We've got 10,000 Marines on the base to keep their eyes on Tim.
Tim: Right!
Al: It's not enough.
