Quotes 

• Becky : [to Dan and Roseanne]  You know, you act like you're the only ones with problems around here.

  Dan : Boy! You are the most selfish piece of work I have ever seen in my life! Do you have any idea what we're going through?

  Becky : Do you have any idea what I'm going through? Today may be the last day I'll ever see Mark again, okay?

  Dan : What are you talking about?

  Becky : He got a job offer in Minneapolis and I'm telling him to take it and it's all 'cause of you.

  Dan : Excuse me?

  Becky : If you knew how to run a business, he'd still have a job and he wouldn't be leaving. Now I don't have Mark, I don't have college, I don't have anything! You blew it, Dad! You blew it for everyone in this family!

  Roseanne Conner : Becky, you shut up!

  Becky : Come on, Mother! You know it! Everybody knows it. I'm the only one with the guts to say it.

  [storms out of the house] 

  Roseanne Conner : [after Becky has left the house]  That is not true, Dan. I would have the guts to say it.

• Becky : [about school]  I'm not going. You'll have to get yourself to detention today.

  Darlene Conner : You're cutting school? But you like high school, Becky. Remember? You're a geek.

• Becky : What's gonna happen to Mark?

  Dan : He's a good mechanic. He'll find something.

  Becky : You are gonna help him find another job, aren't you?

  Dan : I don't have a job and your mother doesn't have a job, but we'll make Mark our first priority.

• Mark Healy : [to Becky]  I did get one job offer.

  Becky : You're kidding. Where?

  Mark Healy : Rick called me today from Minneapolis.

  Becky : Yeah?

  Mark Healy : Well, there's an opening where he works. The job's mine if I want it.

  Becky : Well, do you want it?

  Mark Healy : Well, it pays three times what I made working for your dad. They'd let me join the union, I'd be set.

  Becky : Why are you telling me this now? We've been together all afternoon.

  Mark Healy : I don't know. I guess I just didn't know how to tell you.

  Becky : You knew how to tell me. You just wanted to get me in bed one last time before you dumped me.

  Mark Healy : What are you talking about?

  Becky : You just didn't want me mad at you.

  Mark Healy : You're always mad at me and that's never stopped us before.

• Becky : [to Mark]  What do you call moving to Minneapolis?

  Mark Healy : It doesn't mean we have to break up.

  Becky : Yeah, well, think about it. I mean, you're gonna out there, partying with your friends, you're gonna meet somebody else. And I'm gonna be stuck down here spending my nights watching "Bonanza" with Dan and Roseanne! No way!

• Darlene Conner : [to Becky]  What's wrong with you?

  Becky : Nothing. I'm just tired.

  Darlene Conner : No wonder. You were tossing and turning all night.

  Becky : What, do you watch me while I sleep?

  Darlene Conner : Yes, Becky. You fascinate me. You know, sometimes the drool on your pillow, it isn't always yours.
