(a police officer hands the sergeant Bev's mug shots) Jackie: Oh my God. Can I get those in wallet size?
Bev: (watching the Superbowl) Jackie, that looks like the Bishop boy who used to live up the street from us, do you think it's him? Jackie: Yes mother, it's him. Bev: I don't remember him being so tall. Jackie: He grew. Bev: Well his hair used to be longer. Jackie: He cut it. Bev: No I don't think that's him. Jackie: You're right, Mother, it's not.
Bev: They told me that my family would want to see me fail, I guess my real family is at AA. Roseanne: KEEP GOING HOME, it works!
Roseanne: Mom, are you okay? Bev: I'm fine, I'm just warning your son about what happens when you drink too much. Roseanne: He is what happens when you drink too much.
(Baking gingerbread men) Bev: I need someone to put raisins in the eyes! Darlene: (To Dan) You hold her down, and I'll get the raisins!
Bev: It is very sweet of you to spend the afternoon with your old alcoholic grandma! Darlene: Yeah, well, Mom mislead me, I thought she meant we would be drinking.
Bev: I am an alcoholic, Roseanne. I am one of THESE People! Roseanne: C'mon Mom, is this gonna be like that time you saw Witness, and thought you were Amish?
(Talking to the AA guests) Guest: Well, One Day at a Time! Roseanne: And a Welcome Back kotter, to you too!
(Entering an AA meeting) Bev: This is SO degrading! I don't know why I'm here! Roseanne: Let me remind you: GLUG, GLUG, GLUG!
(On picking Bev up from jail) Roseanne: We've gotta get mom outta there, before they start passing her around like a pack of smokes!
Roseanne: Dan is NOT an alcoholic, Mom. Considering the life he leads, I don't think he drinks nearly enough!
(Slurring to Roseanne)
Dan: How can I make you see the importance of SuperBowl Sunday?
Perhaps the answer will come to me in a dream....(nods off to sleep)
(Cheering on Bev) Dan: Celebrating five days of not drinking! Bev: Your'e all drunk! Jackie: Well, Yeah...It's a Party! (Bev runs out, crying) Fred: Man, she is an UGLY sober.
(Bev sees a pitcher of beer) Bev: Oh, how unusual, someone's left his crutch on the table. Roseanne: Well, mom, let me go order you some of that non alcoholic beer that I used to heat up for DJ's bottles.
Roseanne: I have fifty pigs in a blanket, to feed twenty pigs in the living room!
Bev: (while watching the Superbowl) Is that Jackson Five boy gonna be singing at the intermission this year? He's wonderful with the children!
Darlene: (trying to escape after being forced by Roseanne to bake cookies with Bev.) You told me David and Becky weren't going to be here. You didn't tell me I was going to have to spend the afternoon baking with Drunken' Hines.
Dan: Oh man, I thought I heard your mother. Just like those guys from 'Nam who still heard the copters. Roseanne: More like the guys from 'Nam who were still in 'Nam.
Dan: We can't have your mother here, I got a keg of beer out in the garage! Roseanne: Well you better drink it in a hurry. Dan: A pony keg? Give me a break, Roseanne, we ain't in high school no more.
Jackie: We can't go in there, she's in there!.... Bev!.... Beverage!.... Non-alcoholic Beverage is in there!
Roseanne (circling Jackie and Dan): Mom just told me the weirdest thing, she told me that you were all drunk. And I told her that that can't possibly be so because Dan and Jackie know they're not allowed to drink while she's over there, and I also told her they can't possibly be drunk, because if you were drunk, me doing this would make you wanna puke. Dan: Stop, please stop.
Bev's reference to the "Jackson Five" boy alludes to Michael Jackson's debut in music with four of his siblings back in the sixties/seventies, the beginning of Jackson's career and the height of the family's fame.
The episode title, is an allusion to the way that a person introduces themselves, at an Alcoholic's Anonymous meeting.
When Roseanne tells Bev "Come on Dino, Frank and Sammy are waiting in the car", she's referring to the "Rat Pack" which included Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis, Jr.
While watching the Superbowl, Bev asks "Is that Jackson Five boy going to sing at intermission this year?" This is a reference to Michael Jackson's highly watched halftime performance at the 1993 Superbowl.
