Tim Quote #3224
Quote from Tim in Tim's First Car
Al: Anyway, first up we have a 1972 Mercury Comet for only $340.
Tim: The body's actually held up pretty well, unlike some of us. Little bit of work, she's back to new. Does she deserve to die?
Al: I don't think so. So, come on, people. Pick up those phones and call 1-600-Z-CARZ-4-U. Operators are standing by.
Heidi: [answers phone] Adopt A Car.
Al: [answers phone] Adopt A Car.
Tim: Okay. Now, our second item up to sponsor is a 1963 Chevrolet Impala. It needs wheels, tires, running gear. Pretty much everything. Action figure sold separately. Sponsor this for $200 and you can turn this into a kid's first car. And he can fill it with his own memories, huh? Call now, will you? $200. Sponsor this car. I can't hear the phones ringing. Hello? All right, you call right now, lunch with the Tool Man. All right, all right. Lunch with Heidi. [phones ring]

Quote from Al
Tim: Here at Binford, we're not just tool people. Darn it, we're educators!
Al: That's right. Each week Tim teaches you what not to do. [Al & Heidi laugh]
Quote from Wilson
Jill: What is the deal with men and their first cars?
Wilson: Well, Jill, sometimes in our society, a young man's self-image is defined by his first automobile.
Jill: No. You're saying that men define who they are as human beings by four wheels and an engine? Don't you think that's kind of shallow?
Wilson: No, I don't think so.
Jill: No, of course, you don't. You're one of them.
Wilson: [chuckles] No. The first car represents freedom and independence. I tell you, there's nothing more exhilarating for a young man than getting behind the wheel of the car, revving up that engine, racing off to his first Mozart festival. Well, maybe that's just me.
Quote from Tim
Tim: All the way home in the car, I was trying to figure out a way to blame you. Truth is, it's my fault. I should never have sold that Corvair in the first place.
Jill: You can't blame yourself for selling a car 25 years ago.
Tim: Oh, watch me. So what if it had 130,000 well-earned miles on it? So what if the defroster never worked in the wintertime? So what if the muffler sounded like Al's mom after a whole day of Beano? Huh?
Jill: Honey, you want a nice cup of tea?
Tim: A cup of tea's not gonna cut it!
Jill: Bratwurst?
Tim: You know the sad irony, the cruel irony here? The car crusher? It was a Binford.
