Jill Quote #831

Quote from Jill in Quest for Fire

Jill: OK. I'm all packed. How was the Tool Time?
Randy: Amazing. Dad just launched a barbecue into space.
Mark: Dad has been acting weird lately. Even for him.
Jill: You're telling me. He woke me up in the middle of the night last night to talk about existentialism, vis-a-vis Tool Time.
Randy: Dad actually used the term vis-a-vis?
Jill: Oh, yeah. Then he had this great revelation coming out of the bathroom. "If a man flushes the toilet and no one's around to notice it, did it really flush?"

Quote from Wilson

Wilson: See, Byron noted that men of Tim's life experience suddenly go through difficult times and they respond in strange ways. Byron said, "Of all the barbarous middle ages, that which is most barbarous is the middle age of man".
Jill: So, you're saying that Tim's having a mid-life crisis?
Wilson: Well, I'm not sure about that. I do know he is at an age where he has to come to grips with his own mortality.
Jill: I don't know, Wilson. It's not like Tim's wearing gold chains and has a blonde on each arm. Yet.
Wilson: Well, the truth is that every man struggles with middle age in his own unique way.
