Quotes 

• Fred : Just promise me if you need anything, money, support, you'll call me.

  Jackie : Fine.

  Fred : [pause]  I think we should shake on it.

  [they shake hands] 

  Jackie : Thanks for the child.

• Jackie : Mom, um, I'm pregnant. I went out with a guy I hardly know, we had sex for *hours*, and I got pregnant. And I'm not gonna marry him!

  Jackie : [chuckles]  I'm keeping the baby, and if it's a girl, I'm naming it Gidget.

• Roseanne : [upset that Roseanne didn't let Jackie tell their Mother that she is pregnant]  Well I - I just wanted to soften the blow.

  Jackie : But I didn't *want* this blow to be soft. This was the one! The one! This was the moment I've been waiting for all my life! This one coulda *killed* her!

  Roseanne : Jackie, if you believe in reincarnation at all, perhaps this is not the perfect time to *kill* Mom, if you know what I mean.
