Quotes 

• Darlene Conner-Healy : Hey, you okay with all this? You know, staying here with my parents for a while?

  David Healy : Are you kidding? I love it here. It's... never dull.

  Darlene Conner-Healy : Well cool, because you know I just feel safe being near my mom right now, you know at least until the baby's bigger and stronger.

  David Healy : Well, people in this house do tend to get bigger, don't they?

  [they laugh] 

  Darlene Conner-Healy : And you know, I think it'll be great for my dad too, he acts like 20 years younger when he's around the baby. That's got to be good for him after the heart attack and everything, right?

• David Healy : [about staying home and raising Harris with Roseanne and Dan]  You know what this is, it's really tribal.

  Darlene Conner-Healy : Tribal? Note to myself, I alone will teach the baby new words.

  David Healy : No I just mean that Harris will get to start off her life in a real extended family.

  Darlene Conner-Healy : Ah, I never thought about it like that.

  David Healy : Darlene it's going to be so great, and it's very natural, it's like throughout history, that's how every child grew up. You know there wasn't day care or babysitters, there was just family. It's just perfect.

• Roseanne Conner : Is this all the T-shirts you have for the baby?

  Darlene Conner-Healy : Yeah, why, do I need more?

  Roseanne Conner : Well yeah, I had twice this many when you were a baby, of course half of them were your father's old socks.

• Darlene Conner-Healy : [bringing Harris home for the first time]  So what do you think of the joint?

  Roseanne Conner : What's not to like? At least she's not under that grow-bulb anymore.

• Roseanne Conner : And then I was thinking this rocking chair here should be right in front of the window so you can sit there, feed the baby and then look out and yell at the neighbor kids to stay off your lawn.

  Darlene Conner-Healy : Well, Mom, I don't want to turn into you all at once.

  Roseanne Conner : Take a big fat look in the mirror, Darlene, you lost.
