Tim regrets not inviting Benny to Thanksgiving dinner when he and Randy see him at a soup kitchen.

Quote from Tim

[stop-motion dream sequence:]
Al: Welcome to Tool Time. We've got something very special to show you today. Say hello to the new Binford 6100 Toolapalooza. [whirring] It saws, it sands, it welds, it grinds. It does absolutely everything.
Tim: Not everything, Al.
Al: Huh?
Tim: Does it feed the hungry? Does it clothe the naked? Does it heal the sick?
Al: Well, I don't know. I haven't tried all the attachments.
Tim: Well, let's see for ourselves.
Al: Uh, Tim, this is a very powerful tool. You might want to be careful.
Tim: Al, I'm wood. What have I got to lose?
[As Tim plays around with the controls, the tool unleashes two saw blades and heads towards Tim. His head is cut clean off.]
Tim: [grunts] Oh, no!
Al: It's not like you ever used it.
Tim: Well, who needs a head anyway? Real charity is about giving of yourself.
[Tim's body tries to jump in the cardboard box but misses. Wilson's hand pulls him in.]
Wilson: [o.s.] In here, Tim.
Tim: Thanks, Wilson. Al, go for the three-pointer!
Al: I'm open! [shoots Tim's head into the cardboard box] Yes!

Quote from Al

Ilene: Ooh, the table looks wonderful!
Jill: Well, thanks to the beautiful horn of plenty you brought.
Al: Ilene and I made that in our adult ed class: Cornucopia for Couples.

Quote from Jill

Jill: Oh! That's Benny. Now, um, just be really nice to him. But don't overdo it. You know, because we don't want him to think that we feel sorry for him. [opens door] Benny! [hugs him]

Quote from Benny

Al: Hey, Benny! [laughs] It's good to see you! [hugs Benny]
Ilene: Happy Thanksgiving! [hugs Benny]
Benny: I guess my sponge bath really paid off.
Ilene: Benny, you can let go now.
Al: Ah, honey, the holidays are about giving. OK, that's enough.

Quote from Jill

Jill: Tim.
Tim: Yeah?
Jill: The sweater. Either take it off or shave it.

Quote from Tim

Benny: Hey, I don't need this! I give up my holiday to share it with you people, and this is the thanks I get?
Tim: You're blaming us for this?
Benny: If the shoe fits...
Tim: You'd probably walk out with it!
