Quote from Jill

Jill: What are you doing? What are you... What are you doing?

Quote from Jill

Tim: Hi! Why is Ian's truck still out there? You said he was gone. Where is he?
Jill: Ian's truck broke down and I gave him a ride home.
Tim: Look at this, these beveled edges, you can't even see a seam. This guy's work is great! Imagine what this will look like tomorrow.

Tim: Ian was the guy that didn't know you're married?

Jill: Because I thought you'd get jealous and it would make you crazy.
Tim: What did it make you, Jill?

Quote from Jill

Jill: Tim? I know, you're still mad at me.
Tim: You see the shine on this stone? Your stud-muffin must have spent three hours polishing this thing.
Jill: Tim, I'm really sorry. I should have been more up front with you.
Tim: Yes, you should have.
Jill: I want us to have a trusting marriage. So from now on I'm going to try be more honest with you about everything.
Tim: You are?
Jill: Yeah.

Quote from Tim

Jill: About Ian...
Tim: About Ian, are you really attracted to that guy?
Jill: Initially or today?
Tim: Any time since the dawn of civilization.
Jill: Yes.
Tim: How attracted were you?
Jill: Not enough to even consider putting our marriage in jeopardy.
Tim: But you were still attracted to him.
Jill: Yes, I was. You've been attracted to other people?
Tim: Yeah, but no one with his type of skills.

Quote from Tim

Jill: Come on, Tim. Isn't there somebody we know you've been attracted to?
Tim: No.
Jill: Come on, Tim.
Tim: Maybe.
Jill: Who?
Tim: Patty.
Jill: Patty!
Tim: She's kinda hot.
Jill: You think Patty is hot?
Tim: Warm. I shouldn't have told you this. Why did I...? Why did I even go here?
Jill: No you should have 'cause these feelings are perfectly natural. All that matters is that we are committed to each other.

Quote from Tim

Tim: Can I ask you something?
Jill: What?
Tim: Now go with me on this.
Jill: OK, OK.
Tim: Let's say you weren't married.
Jill: Yeah.
Tim: Who would you pick, me or slab boy?
Jill: Did you drop some polish on the floor there? [Tim bends over] I'd pick you.
Tim: Would you?
