Roseanne (to DJ): I'm really sorry that I hit you, D.J. It was totally wrong, I never should have done it and I am so mad at myself for doin' it!
...I wanna go upstairs! (stands up)
(pulls him into her lap) No! No- you can't go upstairs 'till we talk this all out. Umm...I know how you're feeling. I know you're feeling mad, and kind of embarassed, and..
Wrong!
Well, that's the way I used to feel when I got hit.
(frowns)...Who hit you?
Your grandpa hit me. A lot.
But what'd you do wrong?
I don't know, maybe I breathed or something.
Did you hate him?
(pause) Yeah, sometimes. You know, 'cause, uh, the worse thing was that he never ever said he was sorry for any of it, you know? (her voice breaks) But...I don't want you hating me, DJ. I'm really sorry that I hit you- and no matter what, I'm never gonna hit you again, ever.
No matter what I do?
Yeah, no matter what you do.
(pause) I'm sorry you got hit.
I'm sorry you got hit, too- BIG sorry, like- like "now-would-be-a-great-time-to-ask-me-for-a-new-puppy" kind of sorry. (D.J. laughs and gives her a hug)
