Tim Quote #3115

Quote from Tim in All in the Family

Jill: Oh, I don't want to argue about this. Look, Jeff is just the wrong guy for my sister, okay?
Tim: What you mean is he's not good enough for your sister.
Jill: I never said that.
Tim: But that's what you mean.
Jill: Don't tell me what I mean.
Tim: I don't need to tell you what you mean, you know what you mean.
Jill: I do know what I mean. And it's not what you think I mean. And who are you to tell me what I mean, anyway? Half the time you don't even know what you mean!
Tim: What's that supposed to mean?
Jill: What do you think it means?
Tim: I don't know. I'm not even sure what the original topic is.
Jill: My sister. Your brother.
Tim: What? Yes!

Quote from Tim

Tim: I'm not finished yet. I'm not finished yet. You know, just because a wood is coarse and unfinished doesn't make it inferior. You know, I believe this country was founded on the principle that all wood has the inalienable right to become a nice cabinet!
Al: What exactly is your point, Tim?
Tim: I mean that all wood is created equal, regardless of color, creed or burl. And fourscore and seven tables ago...
Al: We'll be right back to "Woodworking Week" after we medicate our host.

Quote from Jill

Carrie: Boy, I wish I could find a guy like him!

Jill: I believe you broke the mold.

Quote from Wilson

Wilson: Jill, everybody picks up certain negative characteristics from their parents.
Jill: Yeah, well, I knew I picked up negative characteristics from my mother. I didn't know I'd gotten them from my father, too. That hardly seems fair.
Wilson: Right there. See, now, by identifying them, you make the first step to overcoming them. You know, it took me years of hard work to get rid of my father's annoying traits.
Jill: Really? What was he like?
Wilson: Odd man. Kept to himself. Never really let people see the whole person.
