Quote from Tim in Knee Deep

Jill: I can't believe it! We're gonna have to pull up the rug and dry it out, fix the toilet.
Tim: You know, honey, as usual, you look at a broken toilet as half-empty, I look at it as half-full. This is a perfect project to get Tool Time back on track, huh?
Jill: Oh, no, no, no.
Tim: Yeah, yeah.
Jill: No Tool Times in the house. It's disruptive. You always end up breaking something else.
Tim: This broken toilet's too good an opportunity to pass up. It's like that guy that saw a spring. He said, "That's not a spring. That's a Slinky."

Quote from Brad

Brad: Yeah, I know. But, Wilson, I mean, soccer's always been part of my life. You know, it's, like, who I am. If you go to my school, you can ask anybody. I'm Brad the soccer dude.
Wilson: But you can also be Brad the nuclear-physicist dude. Or Brad the animal-husbandry dude.
Brad: Yeah. But I don't know anything about physics. And I really don't want to know what it's like to be an animal's husband.

Quote from Wilson

Wilson: You know, Brad, you remind me of an Iban tribesman.
Brad: Yeah. I get that all the time.
Wilson: You see, the Iban live in Borneo. And they believe that evil spirits are the cause of all their misfortunes. So, every night they dance and they put on these strange wooden masks to drive the evil spirits away.
Brad: So, what does that have to do with me?
Wilson: Well, like the Iban, we'd all like to believe that outside forces are the cause of all of our problems. It gives rationality to our universe. But the truth is, sometimes accidents just happen.
Brad: So, you're saying that it's not my dad's fault that I tripped. And it was more or less bad luck?
Wilson: Yeah, I suppose so. I think the thing to do is just hope for the best and be open to exploring new paths. You know, the British author, J.M. Barrie said, "A man's life is like a diary in which he means to write one story, but ends up writing another."

Quote from Tim
