Quotes 

• Bev Harris : [the girls are curious if their Mom is seeing Jake, from her retirement community]  Please, girls, I'm not in the market. I spent forty years taking care of your father, and I'm not going to do that again.

  Roseanne Conner : Well relax, in forty years, all that guy's gonna need is just an occasional mowing.

• Roseanne Conner : And, Ma, I forgot to tell you, um. Dan wanted you to, um, come bowling with us tonight.

  Bev Harris : I'd love to. I'm sure I've still got one of your father's balls around somewhere.

  Jake : Alimony wasn't enough?

• Jake : Oh, Beverly. Don't stop me if you've heard this one before. Did you read about the lady who was so in love with the priest, she followed him around the church, and grabbed him by the organ?

  Bev Harris : [making a disgusted face]  You put your teeth in that mouth!
