Bud Quote #25

Quote from Bud in Clash of the Taylors

Randy: Well, Mr. Harper, according to my sources...
Tim: According to his sources! [laughs] [clears throat]
Randy: According to my sources, your company has a poor pollution record. How do you respond?
Bud: Son, Binford is a responsible corporate citizen. We are committed to protecting our environment.
Randy: Well, then why does Pollution Watch call Binford, and I quote, "an egregious environmental offender"? And why aren't you doing anything to reduce emissions from your paint and solvent plants?
Tim: He's quite the little Dickens, isn't he?
Bud: Yes, he is. But, see, what the little Dickens doesn't know is, we're in the planning stages of a new emission reduction system. But even at our present rate, all Binford plants fully comply with government regulations.
Tim: There you have it, straight from the horse's mouth. No offense.
Bud: None taken.

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?
