Tim Quote #3033

Quote from Tim in Tool-Thousand-One: A Space Odyssey

Mark: Bye. I'm going to the mall. [exits]
Jill: What is that?
Tim: That's one of the reasons I wanna stay home. His new girlfriend broke up with him, so he shaves his head.
Jill: He's back in black.
Tim: I think that kid's problems are deeper than a bad haircut. I am really worried about him.
Jill: Well, you must be if you're gonna pass up an opportunity to go on the shuttle.
Tim: This is a very crucial time in that boy's life. When I was his age, my father had already died, and, boy, there were a lot of times I wished he'd been around.
Jill: Well, I know that was tough for you.
Tim: But it's not just that. It's the other boys, too. What if Brad starts smoking pot again? What if Randy started doing that? This is not a good time for me to leave the planet.
