Wilson Quote #101

Quote from Wilson in Birth of a Hot Rod

Tim: Hi, Wilson.
Wilson: Hi-ho, Tim. You know, I just saw a repair truck pull away. You got problems?
Tim: No. Jill called a repairman to fix the stove and the ice dispenser.
Wilson: Mm. Mm-hm.
Tim: Hey, I could've fixed both of them, but I just found out about the ice dispenser.
Wilson: Oh, really? I thought you had mentioned that faulty ice dispenser to me three weeks ago.
Tim: Gee whiz, Wilson, you don't have to jump all over me.
Wilson: Well, I'm sorry, Tim.

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.
