All language subtitles for S5E25-Daughters And Other Strangers

I don't know, Roseanne.

This bankbook
is like her business.

I just feel dirty invading
Darlene's privacy like this.

Jackie, when you're
her mother, it is not
called invading privacy.

It's just called cleaning.

Whoa, looky here.

Why, I haven't cleaned
this lockbox in years.

Do you happen to have
a screwdriver on you?

You know, it's possible
she's given up on the whole
writing school idea.

Just 'cause she got a job
at the buy-and-bag,
doesn't mean she's

Saving up money to
run away from home.

Roseanne?

What, did you find
her bankbook?

"dear mom,
I am leaving home forever.

I do not love you anymore.
Goodbye. Darlene."

Oh, she might
already be gone.

"P.S. I am taking
huggy bear and fufu the bunny."

No, this is from
the third grade.

Fufu was killed in a laundry
accident eight years ago.

Well, it's more
than you found.

I'll put it back.

No no no, I want to put
it in the album with
all her other ones.

You don't need the letter
opener, Roseanne.

The key's taped
to the bottom.

Well, I can use it
to pry the key off.

Whatever you find in there,
don't get mad at Darlene,

'cause you two been snipin'
so much at each other lately.

Oh, man, is she
in trouble now.

Look at this.
Cigarettes.

Condoms.

And here's her bankbook.

Look at that.

There's even a hair on it

So she can tell if somebody
tampered with it.

I wonder why she has so much
trouble trusting people?

It was up to 325 bucks,

And she took out
300 yesterday.

Well, that's it, Jackie.

That's her gas and motel
money right there.

You okay?

Yeah, okay.

Let's just put the room
back like we found it.

It'll be all right.
I'm here to help.

You know that.

I know that.

Ow!

So, you know, then
we moved to Florida

And it was kind of
hot there, you know,

And we had this house.

And then we moved
to San Francisco.

You know,
it rained a lot.

And we had this house,
like, like, on this hill.

So then we moved to,
like, um, Detroit?

No, it wasn't Detroit.
Let me see, yeah, yeah, no.

Detroit! Let's just
say Detroit!

Hey!

Dad!

You got to go home
now, George.

My dad gets really mad
when I have friends over.

He's very strict!
Aren't you, dad?

Yes, it's true, son.
You're in for a whoopin'.

Oh, uh, okay,
i'll leave now.

And, um, D.J., don't forget
to come to my party on Friday,

Saturday night,
yeah, Saturday, Saturday.

Nice kid.
Why do you hate him?

He's new and he's geeky
and he's weird looking.

So were you,
but your mother made us

Bring you home
from the hospital anyway.

I can't believe
Darlene smokes.

Oh, I think she
just stole these from me,

You know,
back when I was smoking.

Anything else you
want me to do?

No, just go home and wait
for my hysterical phone call.

Roseanne.

Oh, Rosie,
there you are.

I've been under darlene's
car all day, and I can't
find what's wrong with it.

It's missing
a squiggly thing.

And this diagnosis
is based on...

The fact that the thing

I pulled out of there
last night was squiggly.

Oh, god, Roseanne,
what's next?

You gonna hobble her?

She's out of here, Dan.

She withdrew all 300 dollars
from her bank account,
and she's gone.

You don't know what
that money's for.

She could be using it
to...Buy bullets.

Where have you been?

Paris.
Oh, I mean the mall.

Look at what Darlene
bought me.

Oh, look, honey.
It's a cd player.

Say, Darlene, what does
one of these things go for?

50, 60, 299 bucks!

Something like that.

Look, honey, our daughter spent
all her cash on a cd player.

A present for her boyfriend.

Now, what do you got to
say to that, Roseanne?

Hey, how do you know
how much cash I have?

You looked in my bankbook.

Hey, I have every right
to look in that bankbook!

Your father and I started
you a college account

When you were born,
and I just wanted to see

If that $20
was still in there.

It's pretty pathetic that you
got nothing better to do

Than to snoop
around my room.

Hello, David,
you're looking well today

And is that a new hairdo?

Thank you, Mr. Conner.

I asked him to do it
just like yours.

See how easy it is for
the men folk to get along?

Yeah, you're
a real inspiration.

David, come.

I'm gonna go make dinner.

No, look, Roseanne, don't you
see what just happened here?

She's not going.

She's blowing all
her money on teenage crap.

She's not planning
for her future at all.

Honey, it's everything
we prayed for.

Move.

You're acting
like a crazed psychopath.

Huh, well the voices
in my head disagree.

If you don't stop
coming down on this kid,

You're gonna drive her
right out of the house.

Now, i'm willing to
share the blame on what
happened to Becky,

But you're flying
solo on this one.

Mmm, well, all right.

I guess maybe 'cause
i'm so tired I might
be willing to admit

That there's a slight chance
I was wrong.

Thank you, Roseanne.

I know hard it is for you
to admit you were tired.

Darlene?

I kind of want to
apologize to you

For the way
I been treating you.

You're kidding.
You're apologizing to me?

Well, not for
your whole life.

Just for the past
couple of weeks.

Well, it wasn't
all your fault.

I'd like to think that I was
pretty mean to you too.

So, I guess we actually
approach the end
of bitch fest '93.

Oh, what a time we had.

See?

Now that you said you're sorry,
don't you feel better?

No. Don't feel
better at all.

Come on. Don't you just
feel a little bit better?

No, I don't feel
better at all!

Well, you should!

Well, i'll tell
you what, Dan.

From now on I won't feel
anything i'm feeling, okay?

I'll just wait for you
to tell me what feelings
you feel I should be feeling.

Feel this.

Stop, stop.
There's no need for begging.

I'm ready to tell you
all about my first day
at the garage.

Hey.
Look, I even
took pictures.

This is my desk.

This is my
pencil cup empty.

Here it is filled
with pencils.

And look, a chair.

A job where you
get to sit all day.

That's class.
Now, that's class.

Well, they had a special
on garbage, what can I say?

What, no orange peels?
They were on the list.

I was driving around.
The groceries was
in the front seat.

You do the math.

You went to buy-and-bag,
you saw Darlene,

And the two of yous lit
the torch for bitch fest '94.

No. We got along fine.

I just stood there and
watched her bag groceries.

Then how do you explain this
gutted potato chip bag?

Well, I kinda needed that
to help me figure out

How come i'm being
so mean to Darlene lately.

I think i'm screwing
up her life.

Well, you have to, honey.
I can't do it by myself.

She's vegetatin'
here, Dan.

She hasn't even worked
on her comic for two weeks,

You know, and that used
to be so important to her.

Well, she got tired
of doing her comic.

Now she'll
do something else.

Two weeks ago she's dreaming
of being a writer, you know?

Now her big dream is being
a cashier at the buy-and-bag.

What are you
trying to say?

I think we should
let her go to that school.

Aw, come on.

No, i'm serious.

We couldn't give
Becky a future, right?

So Darlene goes out
and gets one,

And now why are we trying
to take it away from her?

We ain't trying to take
nothin' away from her.

She can wait 'til
she's 18 to have a future.

Hell, i'm 40,
I just found mine.

Well, that's
my whole point, Dan, see?

I mean, i'm standing there
watching her doing lousy

At a crappy job,
you know, and being rude
to all the customers.

It just reminded me
so much of me.

In 10 years, I don't
want her to end up
where i'm at.

Where?
Where are you?

No place special.

Stuck in Lanford, Illinois,

Kinda wondering about maybe
I could have done some stuff.

What kind of stuff?

I don't know, like,
what if I would have
went to college?

Or what if I didn't
have kids so young?

What if you
hadn't gotten married?

Well, yeah, maybe.

Don't you ever
think about that, Dan?

No.

I always thought it was
the smartest thing I ever did.

You obviously don't agree.

No, I do agree with you.

It was the smartest thing
you ever did, but we're
talking about me now.

I never told you
you had to stay in Lanford.

That was
a choice you made.

I am not blaming you, Dan.

I chose this life
and I love it.

Except for that
no dishwasher thing!

But you know, i'm
starting to think about
some stuff I gave up.

Everybody gives up stuff.

Hell, I gave up
a lot of stuff.

Like what?

Like being single.

I wanted to write children's
books, Dan, remember?

Honey, I built you a whole
writing room in the basement,

But you never used it.

There was nothing
stopping you from finishing

The adventures of Mancini
the elephant or
Pee Pee the talkin' mouse.

His name is Pippet, Dan.

And I never had time, what with
the bike shop and Becky
and bein' broke all the time.

So it's my fault again.

Hey.

Beat it!
Mommy's fighting!

No, we're not fighting.
Fights over with.

Darlene, come here. I want
you to sit down for a minute.

Dan, we haven't
finished talkin' yet.

Roseanne, I don't want 2 women
thinking I ruined their lives!

I want to do this right.

Darlene.

Your mom and I
have been talking,

And we're not sure,
but maybe we think you
ought to go to school.

I do go to school. It's just
sometimes i'm directing

A lost freshman to his class
and I miss roll call.

You don't want
to mess this up, Darlene.

Your dad and I are
willing to talk

About this Chicago
school thing again.

What do you mean,
"talk about it"?

Uh, talking: it's like
yelling only not as loud.

Well, thanks,
but I changed my mind.

I'm not going.

Can she do that?

[Roseanne]
hey!

You're staying here
'cause of David, aren't you?

No.

You know, planning your whole
future around some boyfriend

Is not really
a great idea.

I'm not. I just decided
it wasn't right for me.

Isn't that possible?
No.

Look, you didn't
want me to go.

I'm not going.
Congratulations, you win.

Staying here against
her will is one thing,

But stayin' here
'cause she wants to...
That's sick.

This is a 1967 penny,
and this is a 1968,

And I don't have a '69,

But, uh, here's a '70.

And then if you notice the
little letter under the date,

This indicates which city
the penny was made in.

You see, like d,
that's for Denver,

And s is for
San Francisco.

Here, want to see?

We believe you.

I don't have quite
as many nickels,
but I do have this one.

It's a 1975.

See what I mean?

You know, george,
we really wish you
could stay a lot longer,

But D.J. and I need
to practice our religion now.

Oh, uh, okay.

I'll go now.

And D.J., don't forget to come
to my party on Friday night.

See you.

I'm not going.

Ah, come on, Deej, you're
missin' a great opportunity.

Odds are you'll be the most
interesting person there.

Okay, i'll go.

All right, atta boy.

Now go wrap up one
of your toys as a present.

Oh, hey, there you are.

I want to talk
to you for a sec.

Sure, what's up?

Well, now, we know
that you and Darlene are,

You know, in love with
each other and everything,

But lately me and Mr. Conner
have been really concerned

About what's going on
between the two of you.

Really?
You are?

Relax, David,
i'm not talking about sex.

I know, come on.

Lucky for you i'm still
in denial about that.

Thank you.

Me and Mr. Conner, uh,
we want Darlene to go
to that art school.

You're kidding.
You just changed your minds?

Yeah.

And, uh, you know,
she's acting like
she doesn't want to go,

Although I know that
she really does want to go

And I think that she's
doin' that because she wants
to stay here with you.

Yeah.

So I was thinking that maybe
you and I could get together

And figure out some
way to make her go.

But I don't want her to go.

Well, nobody wants
her to go, David.

I mean, except for maybe
D.J. and the school board,

But we all know
that she should go.

Well, I don't
think she should go.

We're happy here.
We're a couple.

Yeah, but you know
what they say, David.

They say, uh, when you
really love something

You should, you know,
make it go away

Or get rid of it
or whatever.

I'm sorry, Mrs. Conner,
but Darlene and I have
already talked about this,

And I told her if she
goes to Chicago i'm
breaking up with her.

You what?

Wait a minute.
What are you doing?

I'm gonna go up there
and makes sure she does
what's right

For Darlene, David,
and not for you.

You can't tell
Darlene what to do.
She's a big girl.

Compared to who?

[Roseanne]
David, go back downstairs.

[David]
why are you trying
to break us up?

David, right now,
the only thing I want to see

Is the back of your head
getting smaller and
smaller and smaller.

There are several ways
we can accomplish this.

Oh, that's so sweet.

You two are having
your first fight,

And you rushed all the way
up here to show me.

You know, I just
don't get it, Darlene.

Doing things 'cause
a guy says so, huh?

Who raised you?

She's doing what
she wants to do.

Why can't you just
stay out of this?

David, I would hate
to embarrass you
in front of your girlfriend

By throwing you out
of here physically.

Ah, what the hell.

[David]
thanks for not
embarrassing me.

Mom, this is not
a big deal.

David and I are just gonna
apply again next year.

Well, what if you apply every
year and he never gets in?

Why can't you
just drop this?

'cause it's too weird.

Ever since you could talk
you've been whining

About getting out
of Lanford and what,

Now you got a boyfriend,
so you're gonna go
change your mind?

I thought you wanted
something better than this.

Better than what?

Better than this!
Better than this room.

Better than
this whole house!

Better than this pillow.
Better than this quilt, okay?

Better than this trash can.

Mom, cut it out!

I mean, what if I go there
and everybody else
is, like, way brilliant

And I find out I suck,
then what happens?

So, you mean this whole thing
is not even about David?

So, you got to
tell me, Darlene,

Which of the motherly speeches
am I supposed to be giving here

'cause i'm totally off track.

Well, we're through talking.

Yeah, we are.

What are you doing?

I figure if I wash them
all in hot water I can
fit 'em in one suitcase.

Mom, why can't I just live
at home like a normal kid?

Because as I have told you
for your entire life, Darlene,

You are not normal.

Okay, you dress funny,
you're weird,

You're too smart
for your own damn good.

Let's face it, Darlene,
you're special,

And I think you could
be something great.

Well, I tried
to leave last week.

I packed my bags, I got
in my car. I couldn't do it.

You cannot be afraid
of failure, okay?

So what, you get there,
you find out you suck.

Great! You're gonna
be the first conner
to suck in college.

Then you can
come back home.

We ain't goin' nowhere.
Never have for 20 years.

Yeah, but it was different
when David was going.

I just don't think
I can do it by myself.

Listen to me, little girl.

I'm gonna tell you somethin'.

Sometimes life just
gives you one chance,

And if you
do not grab it--

When? When were
you in the car?

I been watching
you like a hawk.

Well, hawks don't generally
pass out on the couch

After eating a quart
of ice cream.

[sighs]

Well, let me put it
to you this way.

You got to go.
'cause I want you to go.

Because if you don't go,
you're gonna regret it.

Maybe not now,
okay, but soon,

And then for the rest
of your life.

I love you, Darlene,
and I want you to get
the hell out of here.

I can't believe
you're letting me go.

I can't either.

[sighs]

So, now you gotta go down
there and talk to David.

Unless of course
you want me to.

I'm going.

da-da da da da

da da da-da
da-da da...

You made this?

[laughing]
yeah, I added
the water myself.

Puddin' was in the mix.

What's the occasion?

Well, I just didn't want
you to feel bad thinking

Like I regret us
getting married or somethin'.

I don't. I know i've
made you very happy.

So, you don't feel bad about
one little thing that I had
to give up for you?

No.

Why the hell not?

I don't know,
I just don't.

Well, all the more
cake for me, I guess.

I'm home!

Hey, Deej, come here and
tell us all about the party.

Thanks for making me go.
It was great.

Yeah, come here
and sit down

And tell us about
all the games

And fun things
you guys did.

I touched a boob.

Say what?

We played this game.
Seven minutes in heaven.

And I had to go in the closet
with Sheila Frye,

And we just stood there doing
nothing for like six minutes.

What happened
in that last minute, son?

I told you.
I touched a boob.

She's my girlfriend now.

She's coming over
for dinner tomorrow night.

She likes corn.

Whoo doggy!

Gonna have to have
a long talk with that boy.
