Not exactly electrical quotes but "The Money Pit" has some good construction quotes.
Curly: If the permit man ever comes back. You give me a call and we'll come back and finish the job.
Walter: When I do get the permits how long will the job take?
Curly: Two weeks.
Walter: Two weeks? Two weeks?
Curly: You sound like a parakeet there. "Two weeks! Two weeks!"
Walter: Two weeks. It's amazing.
Curly: Amazing nothing. It'll be a regular miracle.
Walter Fielding: Just because they showed up to collect the money, is no guarantee that they'll show up to do the work... and if they do... I can't pay for it!
Walter: [Walter is on the phone with the permit inspector] I'm sorry I wasn't here when you came by but my wife, ah, became very ill and we, uh, had to take her to the hospital and she is fact very ill and... oh, that doesn't cut any ice with you. Well, what would cut some ice? A bribe; okay, how much? $200? I'll see you in fifteen minutes.
Water Fielding: He's supposed to be a really good carpenter. Besides, he has a brother who's a plumber!
Anna Crowley: Really? A brother who's a plumber? Think I should sleep with him?
Walter Fielding: Maybe just this once.
