Quotes 

• Dan Conner : [to Roseanne]  Hey, I heard about the overtime. How long?

  Roseanne Conner : I don't know. Two weeks maybe.

  Dan Conner : Oh, man. That's really gonna be tight. I gotta finish roofing that garage, plus I got two driveways to pour. Plus Dwight says they might a drywall job lined up for me.

  Roseanne Conner : Plus we gotta live through it.

• Roseanne Conner : [to the waitress]  Hey, let me ask you something. Do you ever have to work overtime?

  Waitress : Honey, my whole life is overtime.

  Roseanne Conner : Yeah, I know what you mean. I gotta check in the hospital just to get a vacation.

  Waitress : As long as it isn't the maternity ward.

• Booker Brooks : Listen up, I got an important announcement.

  Roseanne Conner : You're a woman trapped in a man's body?

• Dan Conner : Where'd you find a flower this time of night?

  Roseanne Conner : The cemetery.

  Dan Conner : Ahh, you've been picking out my plot!

• Booker Brooks : [to Roseanne, Jackie and Crystal who are arguing with each other]  Hey, knock off the yelling in there!

  Roseanne Conner : We're just practicing the company cheer, Booker.

• Roseanne Conner : [to Becky]  Okay, tell Dwight to tell Dad that I got overtime tonight so he has to pick up dinner for you kids.

  Becky Conner : Great. Can we get Chipper Chicken?

  Roseanne Conner : You can get Happy Hamster for all I care.

• Roseanne Conner : Becky, I ask you to do one thing and you didn't do any of 'em. You gotta learn some responsibility here. I mean, you are the oldest daughter, the second woman in command. You're the heiress to my throne here.

  Becky Conner : All right. I'll go fold the royal underwear.

• Roseanne Conner : [to D.J. about his picture]  This is a pretty picture. Is this the one for school?

  [D.J nods] 

  Roseanne Conner : There's Daddy and me, and Becky and you... where's Darlene?

  D.J. Conner : Right there.

  [points at the picture] 

  Roseanne Conner : That looks like a bunch of flowers.

  D.J. Conner : I know. That's her grave.

• Dan Conner : Hey, Becky. Get in here. We gotta discuss something.

  Roseanne Conner : Oh, God. This ain't the Ward Cleaver speech, isn't it?

• Roseanne Conner : Rule number one, no painting in the house.

  Dan Conner : Rule number two, no animals in the house.

  Roseanne Conner : Rule number three...

  [loud crash] 

  Darlene Conner : Mom!

  Roseanne Conner : No children in the house.

• Juanita Herrera : Well at least we'll be making some extra money.

  Crystal Anderson : I did some figuring last night. By the time I pay my daytime baby-sitter and then pay her extra to drive my boy across town to the nighttime sitter and then pay for all the gasoline, I figure this overtime is costing me a $1.25 an hour.

  Roseanne Conner : Don't forget to add in the guilt.

• Jackie Harris : [after they get in trouble with Booker]  I supposed you're gonna point the finger at me.

  Roseanne Conner : Yeah, and you know which one.

• Roseanne Conner : Becky, there's paint all over the rug.

  Becky Conner : Oh, Pebbles got loose and ran across D.J.'s painting.

  Roseanne Conner : Well, this paint better come off or that pig's gonna be mounted above the fireplace.

  Becky Conner : Don't worry. It's washable.

  Roseanne Conner : Well, then wash it and find another place to live.

• Roseanne Conner : [When Dan and Darlene come home]  Where've you been?

  Dan Conner : Standing in front of South Elementary gym for the last hour looking for your daughter.

  Darlene Conner : Mom, I couldn't help it. The band room was locked.

  Dan Conner : For 45 minutes? I thought you were kidnapped.

  Darlene Conner : I wish I had been.

  Roseanne Conner : Well, go up to your room and leave the window open. Maybe you'll get lucky.

• Roseanne Conner : Why is it that a guy can hoist a three-ton truck to check for an oil leak but he can't lift a two-ounce toaster to clean up crumbs?
