Tim Quote #2493
Quote from Tim in My Son, the Driver
Tim: That was a very good meal, Patty. Don't you think so, Jill?
Jill: Oh, yeah. Really, really good. OK. I know why he hasn't called. He was on his way to the basketball game. And one of the other kids said, "Let's go to a party instead." So, now they're smoking dope and driving a 180 miles an hour with their butts all smushed up against the windows.
Tim: Well, you know, the Nomad's the perfect car for it. Lots of big windows. Yeah!
Jill: How can you joke at a time like this? Where the hell was that phone call? It's not like him not to call.
Tim: It's a big night for him, okay? He's probably looking for a phone right now.
Jill: Well, I know what we should do. We should call the school and have him just paged at the basketball game.
Tim: Well, that would go over big. [spoon clinks] Johnson shoots a three-pointer. My God, what a shot that was! Look at... oh, hold on a minute. Yeah. Yup. Yup. OK. Brad Taylor, your mommy's on the phone.

Quote from Tim
Jill: All right. Obey all traffic laws, especially no speeding. Keep that seat belt fastened. No kids drinking, smoking. No sex, no drugs.
Jill: Or anything else.
Brad: What else is there?
Tim: Plenty. All right... No oval shots in parking lots or doing doughnuts in people's lawns. And absolutely, absolutely... no mooning while the car's in gear.
Jill: What about when it's not?
Tim: Use your best judgment.
Quote from Wilson
Brad: I'm gonna need a pretty big tow truck to pull me out of this mess.
Wilson: So, you're saying that if your father found out you hit another car, he would view that as an unforgivable offense?
Brad: Yeah.
Wilson: Well, Brad, it seems to me he might consider lying a far worse offense.
Brad: So either way, I'm in deep yak butter.
Wilson: [sighs] You know, Brad, the novelist Han Suyin had some very choice words for situations like this. "Truth, like surgery, might hurt. But it cures."
Brad: Yeah. My mom and dad also have a few choice words for situations like this. But, I'm not allowed to say 'em.
Quote from Tim
Jill: Well, who cares about the car?
Tim: It's a classic Nomad.
Jill: Well, I was more concerned about our son.
Tim: I was concerned, but now he's OK, I just wanna what kind of damage he did.
Jill: Well, it couldn't be as bad as when you dropped that three-ton beam on it.
Doug: Wait. You dropped a beam on a classic Nomad?
Tim: Yeah, yeah. You know... the up side was I got to cherry it out, I dropped a big block in it.
Doug: Oh, man! I sure hope that car's OK.
Patty: Doug. Shut up.
