When Becky goes back to the house, she goes back into the garage to leave which is the opposite direction of the house.

Quotes[]
- Roseanne (about Becky): Are you sleeping with her, Mark? Because if you are I'm going to have your butt in jail. You're 18, she's 16. In case you don't know, that's illegal.
- Roseanne (while sitting on Dan's motorcycle): Yes, Dan, I know that you love your bike. Gee, you spend more time with this thing than you do me!
- Dan: Oh, honey, don't get upset.
- Roseanne: Well, it's true, Dan.
- Dan: I was talking to the bike!
- Mark (to Roseanne): Why don't you talk to Becky?
- Roseanne: Because I don't know her anymore. Ever since she met you she's lied to us, she ran away from home, she's stealing motorcycles. What do you have planned next?
- Mark: Oh, I thought I'd take her with me to knock over a couple of convenience stores, but don't worry I'll have her home by 10:00.
- Becky: So how long am I grounded?
- Dan: You don't get it, do you, Becky? This isn't some stupid little curfew you broke. You took my bike.
- Becky: You took both cars after saying I could borrow one. Besides, if I'd asked you would've said no.
- Dan: Exactly!
- Roseanne (to Jackie): You're going to be a maseusse?
- Jackie: A massage therapist.
- Roseanne: Whatever. When people ask what my sister does for a living, I gotta tell them you rub people for money.
