They're failures, Roseanne, and the only reason you won't admit it is because you'll have to admit you failed as a mother!
The only way I "failed as a mother" was to let Becky and Darlene get married so young, that they threw their whole life away on a man, JUST LIKE I DID!
You didn't throw away a thing.
Yes, I did, Dan. I threw everything away. But, all that's going to change, because from now on, I'm going to put all my energy into that TV show.
Well, that's fine. That's just great. Go on.
I'm gonna show my daughters that you don't have to give up your dreams for some stupid guy!
That's fine! Well, you just move to Chicago for all I care. Then, maybe, your damn family won't be hangin' around here all the time, give me some room for my family to come. Hell, they can't even show up for Thanksgiving anymore!
Oh, so that's it, huh? It's my fault that you have no kind of relationship with your family? God, you are PATHETIC!! Did I ever stop you from picking up that phone and calling your mother?!
Hey, at least I put my mother in a psychiatric hospital where she can get some help, instead of letting her run around the streets, like yours, scaring people!
Well, my mother may be like fingernails on a chalkboard, Dan. But, at least she's allowed to grow fingernails!
