Jill Quote #470
Quote from Jill in Death Begins at Forty
Jill: Tim, look at you. You're in great shape. You have incredible energy - sometimes way too much energy - you are not gonna have a heart attack.
Tim: Well, maybe not at heart attack, but there are other things that could kill me. Tell me, what is this ugly lump on my neck?
Jill: Your head.
Tim: Can't anyone in this house have a conversation without somebody else being sarcastic?
Jill: Tim, it is a pimple.
Tim: This is not a pimple. This is fibrous. There's cords attached, things happening.
Jill: You're right. You know, it is serious. They should make a movie about it, Indiana Tim and the Pimple of Doom.
Tim: OK, make your stupid jokes.
Jill: OK. Two pimples walk into a bar...

Quote from Wilson
Tim: How did you deal with it? If it happened to me, I wouldn't be able to get out of bed.
Wilson: Well, for a long while there, Tim, I couldn't. I refused to take any risks. I even canceled my long-awaited trek up Mount Kilimanjaro.
Tim: Well, that was a good choice. You don't wanna climb anything starting with "kill a man."
Wilson: Actually, Tim, after a while I did go, and it was one of the highlights of my life.
Tim: Well, what made you change your mind?
Wilson: I realized how lucky I was. My heart attack didn't kill me, so why act like it did?
Tim: [grunts] Well, well, well...
Wilson: You see, Tim, the Roman rhetorician Seneca once said: "if we let things terrify us, then life is not worth living."
Quote from Wilson
Tim: You never told me you had a heart attack. What happened?
Wilson: Well, an acute thrombus occluded my myocardial artery, which was already partially obstructed by sclerotic plaque.
Tim: Come on, cut to the chase. Were you not eating right or not exercising?
Wilson: No, no, no. Even before my heart attack, I enjoyed the same lifestyle as I do now. I ate well, got plenty of rest, I exercised regularly.
Tim: What about stress?
Wilson: I didn't have any stress. You hadn't moved in yet.
Quote from Benny
Benny: Aw, if you're a real man, you can eat whatever you want. It's like they say - fat builds muscle.
Felix: Who says?
Benny: Tubby John. Right next to the warning by the Surgeon General.
