Tim Quote #2616
Quote from Tim in Clash of the Taylors
Tim: The goat I'm talking about is a Pontiac GTO that I rebuilt in high school. And I couldn't have rebuilt it without a shop class. And I wouldn't have had a shop class unless I was willing to fight for it.
Randy: So that was the endangered species you saved?
Tim: Well, it was almost extinct. But I felt passionately that kids like me should have a place to work with their hands.
Randy: And the school didn't want that?
Tim: It was a budget thing. What really stuck in my craw was they weren't gonna touch the music department. You know, I didn't relate to bass bassoons and oboes. So I went to the principal office's and said, "Oh, this will come in real handy. Get a flat tire. Kid's like, 'I can't use a jack. Maybe you can pump the car with a glockenspiel'".
Randy: Bit over the top, Dad.
Tim: Exactly, it was over the top. The way I put it... Well, a lot of people thought I just wanted to destroy the music department. And all I really wanted to do was save the shop class. My passion got in the way of my vision.

Quote from Wilson
Tim: Randy wrote an article in there exposing Binford's poor environmental record. I'm real angry about it.
Wilson: Well, Tim, why are you angry? Because Randy wrote the article or because of Binford's poor record?
Tim: Both. Not to mention the fact that he called me a sell-out. The information caused a riot on Tool Time. I don't know what to believe.
Wilson: Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm. You know, I'm reminded of something the Polish linguist Alfred Korzybski once said.
Tim: "Why can't my name be Johnson?"
Wilson: Korzybski said, "There are two ways to slide easily through life: To believe everything or to doubt everything. Both ways save you from thinking."
Quote from Tim
Tim: Hey, how was your bus ride?
Randy: Mom, I'm going to write my article.
Tim: You're not writing anything until you get the facts straight!
Randy: So, now you're telling me what I can and can't write? You're acting like some tyrannical fascist.
Tim: Did he just call me a dinosaur?
Quote from Jill
Jill: Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Hansen. I'm Jill Taylor, your counseling intern.
Lou Hansen: Nice to meet you.
Jill: Well. Before we begin, I'd like to talk a little bit about my methodology. I am an avid proponent of emotionally-focused couples therapy, which is founded on the belief that couples hide their primary emotions and instead exhibit secondary reactive emotions, which result in negative interactions, such as pursue/distance, or blame/withdraw. Serving as a defense against the more vulnerable primary emotions. Any questions?
Lou Hansen: Are you the only therapist or can we get someone else?
