• Dan Conner : [to Roseanne]  Hey. Coffee maker's broke again.

  Roseanne Conner : So are we. So fix it!

  Dan Conner : [reaching for the coffee-maker cord]  I'm sorry, honey, I've done everything I can. We'll have to let go. I'm pulling the plug.

• Becky : [to Dan]  Dad, I know what you're thinking, but I'm not screwing up my life. I mean, Mark's got a great job, I'm gonna finish school while he works. And hey, I can go to community college in Minneapolis just the same as I can here.

  Dan Conner : Right.

  Becky : Mom is okay with this. Why can't you be? Come on! Things were so tough around here. I was just another mouth to feed. I thought I was doing you a favor by leaving.

  Dan Conner : Don't do me any favors, Becky.

• Roseanne Conner : [to Dan]  Well, that was real pretty.

  Dan Conner : I don't want to talk about it. Where are they sleeping?

  Roseanne Conner : I thought you said you didn't want to talk about it.

  Dan Conner : Where are they sleeping?

  Roseanne Conner : They're sleeping in the girls' room, And Darlene's going in D.J.'s room.

  Dan Conner : Perfect.

  Roseanne Conner : Well, it was either that or let them go to some cheap motel where they'd actually enjoy it.

• Dan Conner : [about Becky]  She's 17 years old. I throw the punk out and we get this thing annulled.

  Roseanne Conner : Yeah, and then in two months on her 18th birthday, she goes and does the exact same thing again only this time she hates us, and we don't see her no more.

  Dan Conner : So that's your brilliant plan? We do nothing?

  Roseanne Conner : Yeah. Yeah, that is my plan. 'Cause this way, at least we get birthdays and we get holidays. Maybe we get a phone call once in a while, but you go up there and you do something stupid, Dan, we will lose her.

  Dan Conner : No, I wouldn't want to go up there and do something stupid 'cause God knows she sure didn't! You know what's gonna happen? She's gonna get pregnant, she's gonna forget all about school. This is it! This is her life!

• Roseanne Conner : What do you want to happen, Dan? You're screaming at me, okay? You're walking around here like some psycho. What exactly is it that you want to happen?

  Dan Conner : I want my bike shop back. I want my daughter back. I want things back the way they were before I screwed everything up.
