Roseanne
All S1

S1 E15Unfinished Business

[toasting Dan at his party] So here's to you, Dan Conner, my husband, my soulmate, my friend, my rock...

[to himself] God, please, let this be over...

...a great big rock that just sits on my couch and does nothing but watch TV!

[to himself] That's it - God's a woman.

Oh, occasionally, y'know, it'll ask for a beer and then I have to go in there and get it because after all, it is just a ROCK, and a rock can't just tip itself over and roll over to the refrigerator, can it? So I have to get the beer for it... yep! A big, TV-watching, beer-drinking rock. But he's MY rock, and I must live with it. [downs her champagne in one gulp]

So Happy Birthday, Dan!

[Jackie leads everyone in singing "Happy Birthday" as she brings out the birthday cake]

Make a wish, Dan!

[Dan blows out the candles in one breath and everyone cheers. Dan looks over at Roseanne to see her passed out at another table, her empty champagne glass in front of her]

[to himself] YES! I got my wish!

Mom, how come Becky's got three hands in this picture?

Three hands...?

Yeah, look.

Lemme see. (looks through DJ's magnifying glass and gasps) She didn't do it. I'll kill her!

I can't believe this! You guys weren't mad when you thought I did do it, and now you’re mad 'cause you know I didn't? God, maybe next year I ought to moon the class photo so you guys are proud of me.

Make sure it's your own butt!

Say, guys, um... your son just gave Gilligan the finger.

Dan...

Well, he's the reason they're still stuck on that island!

(sternly) Dan!

Alright, Alright. DJ! Get in here, little buddy!

BECKY!!!

Yeah?

Have a seat, okay? Let's see, uh, how can I explain this? Ah! Ok, this is the church, this is the steeple, open the doors, and see the big guy in the third row? Just don't ever stick him up in the air at anybody.

But Mom did it when she was driving!

Well, the idiot cuts me off!

(Roseanne is speaking to other mothers at the principal's about the picture)

Ah, do your kids do this in the family pictures?

MMother

No way.

(to Principal Hiller) No, they do it here.

AAnnemarie

That's right.

PHPrincipal Hiller

Oh I see, following that logic, Mrs. Conner, as long as they're not stealing anything out of your living room, it's not your fault if they hold up a convenience store.

Hey, we're not talking about armed robbery here, OK? We're talking about some teenagers flipping the bird. I think we should get over it.

PHPrincipal Hiller

Maybe you're right, but I don't think so. And neither do all these parents who have called in to complain about the photo. They want us to reshoot it at our cost and quite frankly, Mrs. Conner, this is not within our budget. So, what would your have me tell them about what your daughter did?

(remembering her own teenage years with Annemarie) Ahh, that it's a political statement?

We can't control everything thing our kids do. Sooner or later they're just gonna do what they're gonna do. They're like people that way.

Becky (in a sugar-coated voice) Look, everybody: Daddy's home! Oh, hi, Daddy!

(to Becky, DJ, Darlene, and Roseanne) Hi, Princess, Bud, Kitten, Margaret.

You know, of all of the people in the world to have as a role model, our kid has to pick Eddie Munster.

You're the one who thought it would be great to have a son.

Well, it would have.

You're kidding? You guys have a night?

Yes, we have a night. It's not only Wednesday, but it's always Wednesday.

You have a time too?

Yeah. Twenty minutes, or until he gets a cramp.

Well, you should make him wait half an hour after he eats.

Whatcha doin'?

Oh, I'm packing D.J.'s little duffle bag. He's going to stay over at little Warren's house tonight.

You think that's a good idea? I mean, isn't little Warren the one that tied all those squirrel together?

No! That was D.J. [pause] Little Warren just stunned 'em.

Well, if they're not missing, then what are they? I mean, hey, let’s face it, even Mom and Dad can't eat dinner for four hours.

Bring on the fudge and Kevin Costner's butt. I'm ready to sink my teeth into both of them.

How ya doin' sis?

[yells from the bathroom] Roseanne, are these towels clean?

[realizing Roseanne tricked her] You are just EVIL!

You know, Darlene, you're very lucky to have such a popular sister. When you start dating she could give you some pointers. (winks)

Yeah well, if she's so popular, just ask her which one of us got felt up. (winks)

Darlene, leave the table.

Yeah, I knew that'd do it.
