Roseanne/Heartwarming

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • The entire episode of Darlene's wedding but especially Mark and David's conversation about their parents as Mark ties his tie:

Mark: Will you just shut up about them already? Man, they never did anything for us. They kicked me out of the house when I was sixteen, and they treated you like a dog. The Connors are your parents now, ok? You and me both. They saved our asses.
David: Well, Mom and Dad gave us life, ok? Maybe one of us a little more than the other, but still.
Mark: Hey, hey, hey. It's a slap in the face to the Connors for you to be hung up on a couple of jerks who haven't even bothered to call in the last four years.

    • Made better a moment later. As Mark gives David the above advice, he's tying his tie for him.

David: Hey, where'd you learn to tie a tie?
Mark: Dad taught me, now I've taught you. You don't need him for anything now.

  • The episode where David moves in with the Connors. They spend the entire episode telling David that he can't live with them. They go over to apologize to David's mother, since they thought she came up with the idea, which she didn't (Darlene and David cooked up the whole scheme in an attempt to stay together when David was supposed to move). When they mention it, she flies into a rage, including calling David a worthless little bastard to his face. Roseanne had already shredded her previously in one of her glorious beatdowns, but hearing that was enough for her to simply say:

Roseanne: All right, I'm changing my mind. David, you can come live with us if you want to.
