Tim Quote #3232
Quote from Tim in Mr. Likeable
Tim: Our ratings came out today and for the first time in 10 years, Al was rated more likable than me.
Jill: So this is bothering you, right?
Tim: Well, duh. You don't think Binford would think about switching hosts, do you?
Jill: Honey, that's never gonna happen. Look, Al hosted the show once and it was a disaster. He needs you to make it all work.
Tim: [inquisitive grunt]
Jill: Well, see, look, you took a shy, insecure, stiff guy and you turned him into a likable, confident, stiff guy. You gave him his persona. You invented the signature salute. You sort of created Al.
Tim: I did. I created Al. Almost like Al is my Frankenstein monster. You know, without the attractive neck bolts. He's alive!
Jill: Now, see? That's what you should do. Just enjoy the fruits of your labor.
Tim: Yeah. You know, and maybe accept my fate in a way. You know, because even the brightest stars can't shine forever. I mean, there's a point when the champions like me and Michael Jordan just have to pass our balls on to somebody else.

Quote from Tim
Al: You know, I never thought this would happen to me. I've always lived in someone else's shadow.
Tim: Well, growing up with your mom, I'm surprised you knew there was a sun.
Quote from Wilson
Wilson: You know, Tim, I can understand your concern for Al. But I'm also reminded of the Persian writer Nasir-i Khusraw. He said, "Though God creates the mother, the breast and the milk, the children must draw for themselves their mother's milk."
Tim: Wilson, you just gave me 12 horrible images.
Wilson: No, no, no, no. I'm just saying, just as the child learns self-reliance by separating from his mother, so the assistant learns by separating from the Tool Man. Maybe what Al needs is protection and support so he's not left hanging.
Tim: So I'll just buy him a sturdy jockstrap.
Wilson: Hello, horrible image number 13.
Quote from Tim
Morgan Fairchild: Al.
Al: Yes, Morgan Fairchild?
Morgan Fairchild: I am so sorry about this. May I have your autograph?
Al: You... You want my autograph?
Morgan Fairchild: Well, actually, it's not for me. It's for my dad. He's a huge fan of Tool Time.
Tim: Well, he probably wants mine, too. Hi. I'm Tim the Tool Man.
Morgan Fairchild: Hi. No, he didn't mention you. Thanks. I, on the other hand, am a huge fan of yours, honey.
Tim: Morgan Fairchild. I love her!
