Quotes
- Becky: Can I have the car tonight?
- Roseanne: Where are you going?
- Becky: Mom, I'm 17 years old now, you don't have to be so overprotective.
- Roseanne: Yes, I do. I love that car.
- Jackie: I was thinking that I just lost a great guy like Gary and now he's gone for good, and I'll never be able to find another great guy. I'm 36 years old, I've got flabby arm and pelican neck, and all my houseplants are dead and no one loves me, but what difference does that make anyway because everything in my life sucks!
Roseanne: Well, that's still no excuse.
- Roseanne (while yelling at Arnie): You took advantage of my sister and for that, you must die!
- Anne-Marie: The first time I did it with Chuck, I told him I wasn't a virgin but I really was.
- Bonnie: Why the hell did you want to lie about something like that for?
- Anne-Marie: Because I didn't want him getting all smug and strutting around like he's Christopher Columbus.
- Roseanne (about Arnie): Jackie, do you remember that when all of us were in high school, every one of us took a blood oath that that man would never be given a chance to breed?
