Jill Quote #286

Quote from Jill in Birth of a Hot Rod

Gus: You must be close to getting this started, huh?
Tim: Actually, I did. I gapped my plugs different than I was supposed to and I put a new curb on the distributor, but I just can't get it going. I can't get it turned over right.
Gus: Let me hear it. Let me hear.
Tim: Really?
Gus: Yeah. [engine turns over] You might have your ignition switch wires on backwards.
Tim: Wh... Yeah. Never thought of that. Maybe I do.
Gus: Well, here, I'll give you a hand.
Tim: All right!
Jill: Gus, Gus, Gus! Gus!
Gus: No, don't worry, Mrs. Taylor. I'm taking you off the clock.
Tim: There you go, hon.

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?

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
