Jill Quote #1021
Quote from Jill in Tim's First Car
Brad: Hey, Mom, check out the Corvair Club Magazine. There's a guy selling a '66 Corvair just like Dad's.
Jill: Let me see here. Well, you know what? Maybe I should call him. He might have a lead on a frame.
Brad: Yeah. It says he's the president of the Corvair Club. If anyone's gonna know, it's gonna be him.
Jill: [on the phone] Hello. Is this Gunther Frank? Oh, sorry. [German accent] Gunther Frank? [normal voice] Uh... Gunther, I saw your car in the Corvair Club Magazine. And I was wondering... Yes, yes, it's wunderbar. It's very, very wunderbar. Yeah. No, no, I'm not looking for that car. I'm looking for that car, only a junker. You do? Oh, great! Okay. Well, where would we go to meet you? Yeah, yeah. We'll be right over there. Auf Wiedersehen to you, too, Gunther.

Quote from Al
Tim: Here at Binford, we're not just tool people. Darn it, we're educators!
Al: That's right. Each week Tim teaches you what not to do. [Al & Heidi laugh]
Quote from Wilson
Jill: What is the deal with men and their first cars?
Wilson: Well, Jill, sometimes in our society, a young man's self-image is defined by his first automobile.
Jill: No. You're saying that men define who they are as human beings by four wheels and an engine? Don't you think that's kind of shallow?
Wilson: No, I don't think so.
Jill: No, of course, you don't. You're one of them.
Wilson: [chuckles] No. The first car represents freedom and independence. I tell you, there's nothing more exhilarating for a young man than getting behind the wheel of the car, revving up that engine, racing off to his first Mozart festival. Well, maybe that's just me.
Quote from Tim
Tim: All the way home in the car, I was trying to figure out a way to blame you. Truth is, it's my fault. I should never have sold that Corvair in the first place.
Jill: You can't blame yourself for selling a car 25 years ago.
Tim: Oh, watch me. So what if it had 130,000 well-earned miles on it? So what if the defroster never worked in the wintertime? So what if the muffler sounded like Al's mom after a whole day of Beano? Huh?
Jill: Honey, you want a nice cup of tea?
Tim: A cup of tea's not gonna cut it!
Jill: Bratwurst?
Tim: You know the sad irony, the cruel irony here? The car crusher? It was a Binford.
