Tim Quote #3120
Quote from Tim in All in the Family
Al: You can keep this crack from getting any bigger by installing a decorative butterfly key.
Tim: Like one of these ones I carved earlier today.
Al: Well, Tim, that's made of ash.
Tim: I know.
Al: Well, our table is made of bird's-eye maple. They're from two different families.
Tim: So what?
Al: Well, ash is a coarse grain and maple's a fine grain. They just... They don't go together.
Tim: Are you saying your wood is better than my wood?
Al: No.
Tim: Your wood is classier and more intelligent than my wood?
Al: What are you talking about?
Tim: I'm talking about people that look down on other people's wood. Maybe your maple could just kiss my ash.

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

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.
