Quotes 

• Jackie Harris : Roseanne, there's something I'm going to let you know. You don't deserve to know, but I'm going to tell you. Mrs. Tuttle loved you. I would always go to her and put you down and complain, but she always had your back.

  [points to her doll] 

  Jackie Harris : This lady was in your corner.

  Roseanne Conner : [humbled]  Well, I didn't know. She should've told me.

  Jackie Harris : It just warn't her way.

• Jackie Harris : Do you think Jerry to be as ruthless to Andy as you were to me?

  Roseanne Conner : No, what're you talking about? Andy's older!

  Jackie Harris : Yeah, but Jerry's *your* kid. He already took the blanket away. And the next thing you know, there'll be Andy shoved behind some insulation.

  Roseanne Conner : That won't happen, because we're going to break the cycle. I'll make sure that Jerry is as sweet to Andy as... I should've been to you.

• Jackie Harris : This is my cast, what's Nana Mary doing with it?

  Roseanne Conner : Don't you remember? She thought you were being a big baby about it so she cut if off a week early.

  Jackie Harris : [thinks]  And to this day, it is impossible for me to get a blouse to line up just right.
