Quotes 

• Becky : [to Dan and Roseanne]  You know, you act like you're the only ones with problems around here.

  Dan : Boy! You are the most selfish piece of work I have ever seen in my life! Do you have any idea what we're going through?

  Becky : Do you have any idea what I'm going through? Today may be the last day I'll ever see Mark again, okay?

  Dan : What are you talking about?

  Becky : He got a job offer in Minneapolis and I'm telling him to take it and it's all 'cause of you.

  Dan : Excuse me?

  Becky : If you knew how to run a business, he'd still have a job and he wouldn't be leaving. Now I don't have Mark, I don't have college, I don't have anything! You blew it, Dad! You blew it for everyone in this family!

  Roseanne Conner : Becky, you shut up!

  Becky : Come on, Mother! You know it! Everybody knows it. I'm the only one with the guts to say it.

  [storms out of the house] 

  Roseanne Conner : [after Becky has left the house]  That is not true, Dan. I would have the guts to say it.

• Roseanne Conner : I knew we shouldn't have gone into business for ourselves! There's no one to steal from.

• Roseanne Conner : [to Dan]  So how'd it go at the bank?

  Dan : Well, we chatted about the recession for a while, don't you know. Then I gave him my "things are bound to be better after the election" speech. Then they said, "You're four months behind on your first mortgage, three months behind on your second. We want our money by Friday. And here, Have a calendar."

  [shows Roseanne the calendar] 

  Dan : Look. Kittens in a basket.

• Dan : [to Becky and Darlene]  Your mother and I have decided to close the bike shop. We're having a "going out of business" sale and then locking the doors on Friday.

  Roseanne Conner : And I don't have a job, so that means no income.

  [to Dan] 

  Roseanne Conner : How'd we do?

• Roseanne Conner : [to Becky]  You know, Beck, I don't know why, but I thought maybe the first words out of your mouth might be, "Sorry you lost your business, Dad. We know how much it meant to you."

  Darlene Conner : I guess it's gonna sound a lot less sincere now when I say it.

• Roseanne Conner : [to Darlene]  So do you have anything that you want to say?

  Darlene Conner : Can I have a pony?

• Jackie Harris : [while reading the newspaper]  Roseanne, there's a printing company moving into the old Wellman plant.

  Roseanne Conner : So?

  Jackie Harris : So, listen to this.

  [reads from the newspaper] 

  Jackie Harris : "No experience required. No references needed. No training necessary."

  Roseanne Conner : Wow! Hurray at last! A crappy job!

• D.J. Conner : If you want it, I still have some birthday money I hid in my closet.

  Roseanne Conner : Aw, no you don't, but thanks anyway.
