Wilson Quote #274
Quote from Wilson in Alarmed by Burglars
Wilson: How could you let Tim put in such a ridiculous alarm system?
Jill: Well, it was actually my idea.
Wilson: Your idea?
Jill: Yeah. After you got robbed, I got scared. I started imaging horrible things happening to the family. Crazy people lurking behind every door, scaring the kids, taking all our stuff.
Wilson: Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. And you thought that by putting in a state-of-the-art alarm system, you'd no longer be afraid.
Jill: Well, yeah. But now all I'm afraid of is setting off this insane system!
Wilson: Well, Jill, I wouldn't worry about it. As the physicist Edward Teller told me over borscht at the Russian Tea Room, total security has never been available to anyone. To expect it is unrealistic. To imagine that it can exist is an invite to disaster.

Quote from Al
Tim: Guys, I'm serious. I'm serious. I think it's time "The Tool Man" just scaled back a bit.
Benny: Yeah, right. That would be like Babe Ruth bunting.
Marty: Raquel Welch wearing a parka.
Harry: Benny picking up a check.
Al: It would be like my mother going to a buffet and only having a salad. Did I say that?
Quote from Jill
Jill: Look, if this can happen to Wilson, it can happen to us! I want floodlights, surveillance cameras, uh, uh, uh...
panic buttons, uh, uh, the works, everything!
Tim: You know, I am... I am getting very excited. I hope this isn't just a big tease.
Jill: I am not teasing you. I am turning you loose to buy the biggest, most powerful security system that money can buy.
Tim: [groans] Ohh...
Jill: I will even allow you to do a Tool Time remote in the house.
Tim: I have never loved you as much as I do at this moment.
Quote from Wilson
Wilson: Oh, boy! I just cannot believe this happened. They took some of my most valued possessions.
Officer Guidry: All right, what'd they get? A TV? Stereo?
Wilson: No, no, no. Much worse than that. Number one, they took my cheek extender from Fiji. Number two, they took my stuffed cow's hoof. But the thing that really makes me feel violated is they took my African mucous cup.
Tim: They always take the good stuff.
Officer Guidry: How am I gonna write this up? I mean, what's an African mucous cup worth?
Wilson: Well, not much here in Detroit. But in Africa you can get six goats and a virgin.
