• Jimmy Carter : [in a videotaped message]  Al and Jill, the house you built is a perfect example of what can happen when good people band together for a common goal. And Tim... well, what can I say? Crews are working around the clock to repair the house you built... Oh, yeah - Rosie would like a picture of Al.

  Tim Taylor : [disgusted]  Let's tape over this.

• Tim : Evander, give me the doughnut.

  Evander Holyfield : I don't think so, Tim.

• [Tim and Jill are watching a video that Jimmy Carter sent them] 

  Jimmy Carter : Hi Tim, Al, and Jill. I'd like to thank you for your participation in our Habitats for Humanity housing blitz.

  Tim : You're welcome.

  Jimmy Carter : Al and Jill, the house you built is a perfect example of what can happen when caring people band together for a common good. And Tim, well, what can I say? Crews are working round the clock to repair the house you've built. Oh yeah, Rosalynn would like a picture of Al.

  Tim : Let's tape over this.

• Tim : Kelvin, where you been?

  Kelvin Pritchett : Tim, you gave me wrong directions.

  Tim : You should have checked them twice. Right, Evander?

  Evander Holyfield : Hey, you gave me the wrong directions too.

  Tim : Did I? All right, wait a minute. Do I jump in the ring and tell you how to box?

  [Evander towers over Tim] 

  Tim : ...it's not like I would.

• Tim : [on the phone with John Elway]  Tomorrow I expect you lifting something heavier than a jelly doughnut! Yes, I would say this to your face. I may not be talking this loud. And you can tell that to your pal Holyfield too... Actually I'd prefer it if YOU told him.

• Randy : Sounds like Mom's kicking your butt.

  Jill : Yeah, with Al and a team of girls.

  Mark : You're losing to girls?

  Tim : I wouldn't consider Miss America a girl. She's almost professional. I heard in her talent competition she put up drywall.
