Tim Quote #2592
Quote from Tim in Quest for Fire
Tim: I know what you're thinking. This is gonna be rough on the boys. You and I can get them over the hump.
Jill: Honey. Did it ever occur to you that we have this little thing back in Detroit called a life?
Tim: Yeah, that's moving too fast, you said it. The boys are way too competitive. Too much peer pressure.
Jill: I don't want to leave it all behind. What about my psychology degree? I'm supposed to get my Masters this year.
Tim: That's why we don't move till next year. I've done all the legwork, honey. There's plenty of nutcases up here you can shrink. Louie at the bait shop. Flonko.
Jill: What about Tool Time?
Tim: It's time for a change. You know, it'll be the best year ever. Then I'll just hand my tool belt down to Al. I'll have to add a few more notches.

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.
Quote from Tim
Al: Well, you may be wondering how Tim's going to beat that three second record.
Tim: Well, I'm not wondering. I got a hold of some of my buddies down at NASA. They gave me their secret. Rocket fuel! Rocket fuel's made with LOX, but this don't go on no bagel, baby. This is liquid oxygen with a skosche of hydrogen, and for fun, a little soupcon of cilantro for flavor.
Al: We're trained professionals. Please do not try this at home.
Tim: Ah, there you go. Heidi, my fire-starting device, please.
Heidi: There you go, Tim.
Tim: Very high-tech. It's a stick. [lights the barbecue]
Al: Two-point-six seconds. A new world record!
Heidi: Tim, it's a little out of control.
Tim: Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. Don't panic.
Al: Stay away from the barbecue!
Tim: [puts the lid on] It's OK, all right? It's fine. It's done.
[After flames shoot out of the bottom of the barbecue, it lifts off]
