Quotes

add »
Becky: So you aced the driving test, huh?
Jackie: Oh, yeah. You'd be amazed how courteous people are when they see an 18-wheeler with "Student Driver" written on it. (edit)
Jackie: I would so tell Mom if I was gay.
Roseanne: Oh, sure. You couldn't tell her you were going to be a cop, how could you tell her you were gay?
Jackie: Easy-- it'd kill her. (edit)
Becky: (quizzing Jackie for her trucking license) What is the importance of proper weight distribution?
Jackie: To avoid being top-heavy.
Darlene: You don't have to worry about that, Aunt Jackie. (edit)
Jerry: Dan, Kathy wants to put up an electric fence.
Dan: An electric fence won't do you no good Jerry, they're not gonna rob you again.
Jerry: It's not for the burglars, it's for Roseanne.
Dan: Electricity won't stop her Jer, I've tried... Not much of a swimmer though, you might wanna build a moat. (edit)
(To Jackie after Dan has just freaked out about Jackie's question to him regarding what he would do if DJ were gay)

Roseanne: He's got this thing where he wants DJ to carry on the Conner name. I told him that Becky would probably have a few kids before she was married and they'd be Conners, but that didn't help him any. (edit)

Trivia

add »
