Tim Quote #705
Quote from Tim in Karate or Not, Here I Come
Wilson: But you're not actually encouraging Mark to fight.
Tim: No. I just want him to be able to stand up for himself. If he gets in a bad situation, I'd like him to be able to kick butt in a major way. But every dad wants that, you know.
Wilson: Gandhi's dad didn't.
Tim: Well, maybe Gandhi was a major disappointment to his dad. Maybe Gandhi didn't eat because he wouldn't fight kids for his lunch money. How about that?
Wilson: Tim, are we talking about the same Gandhi?
Tim: Not unless he went to my elementary school. You see, when I was that age, if I couldn't wisecrack my way out of a situation, sometimes I'd run. And I'm thinking that karate would give Mark, you know, the ability to stand up for himself.

Quote from Al
Tim: Welcome to Tool Time. I'm your host, Tim "The Tool Man" Taylor. 'Course, you all know my assistant, Al "I live for Bingo" Borland. Here on Tool Time, we've showed you many different ways to cut wood, but nothing as fun as today. Al, if we were gonna cut that piece of pine, what would you select?
Al: Well, Tim, I'd probably use the Binford 2,200 Circular Saw.
Tim: Mm, good choice. Ooh, but what if we had blown a fuse?
Al: I see, we're at your house.

Quote from Jill
Jill: Why are you all so fascinated with fighting? I don't want anybody to beat anybody up. What is wrong with you people? You make me sick. I just want you to love each other, you big bunch of jerks!
