Tim Quote #780

Quote from Tim in Birth of a Hot Rod

Tim: There's a little sprocket missing. I'll get it at the hardware store this afternoon. After I finish the motor.
Jill: Tim, you know what your problem is?
Tim: I think it's ignition.
Jill: No. Your problem is if a job isn't fun, or you can't power it up, you're not interested in doing it.
Tim: Honey, I've been trying to get this thing going for 18 months.
Jill: I know, you've been spending every spare moment.
Tim: I think the time is near. This beast is ready to roar.
Jill: So is this one.

Quote from Tim

Jill: I tell you what. I am going to fix the stove and I will fix the ice dispenser.
Tim: You are so cute.
Jill: What? You don't think I can do it?
Tim: No, I have a lot of faith. Lot of faith in a woman who uses tool terms like "whatchamacallit," "thingamajig" and my personal favorite, "doohickey."

Quote from Wilson

Jill: What is it with men, Wilson? You know, they'll spend hours on an engine, putting up a satellite dish, but they won't take five minutes and fix a simple little doorknob.
Wilson: Well, Jill, I find your question astute and sagacious.
Tim: Give it to her, Wilson.
Jill: That's a compliment, Tim.
Wilson: See, Jill, historically, men have been drawn to the jobs that bring them attention and glory, like discovering new lands or winning wars. Women, however, have been expected to work quietly and steadily to maintain the home.
Jill: But that's a long time ago, Wilson. I mean, times are changing. Women are working, men are staying at home, both are working. Roles are reversing.
Wilson: Trenchant and perspicacious.
Tim: Now, that can't possibly be a compliment.
Wilson: I'm afraid so, Tim.
Tim: Oh, you did it to me again.

Quote from Tim
