- Roseanne: [nearly hysterical, talking about their Father] Now, how do you think I feel, Jackie? He calls you *every* Sunday! How do you think that makes me feel? How does it make you feel, when - when - when Mom calls *me* all the time, and she never calls *you*?
- Jackie: Lucky! Honored! Off the hook! Free! Thrilled! Elated! Glad that she's still alive, but I don't have to talk to her. Like, that every time the phone rings it can't be her!
- Dan: [Becky said that she isn't going to a dance with anyone special] Well what about Jimmy Mellon...spellon...ish?
- Darlene: Meltrigger?
- Dan: Yeah! Jimmy Meltrigger. I like him.
- [Roseanne looks at him speechlessly, and Dan realizes that he's somehow goofed]
- Dan: Well... there, you know, there was things about him I liked. Uhhhh, I didn't love the guy.
- Darlene: Becky did... 'til he dumped her.
- Becky: He didn't dump me!
- Darlene: Get real! You hit the ground like a safe.
