The Conners
Wednesdays 9:00 PM on ABCThe Conners Quotes
One of the Conners has to succeed eventually. It’s the law of averages, like going to a tropical island and being killed by a falling coconut. There’s no reason that can’t happen to me.
Darlene
Dan: The point is, if you’re too afraid to try, you’ll never know whether you could have gotten the raise or could have gotten the house.
Darlene: Oh, I want that house so bad.
Dan: Take it from an old man. It’s easier to live with failure than regret.
I know how much you want our Dad all to yourself and after you get that, please remember, you asked for it.
Becky [to Louise]
Darlene: Dad, an hour is not that far away.
Dan: Chicago is only an hour away. When you lived there, I missed five years of my grandkids' lives.
Darlene: I don't believe in spirits lingering in a house.
Dan: Do you believe in adult children lingering in a house? Because that's what I'm trying to fix.
Don: You know my funeral home down on Pulaski? Well, business is so good, I'm moving into a bigger space.
Darlene: Don't expand too fast. Who knows, people around here could start wearing masks and eating right.
I know house prices are lower the farther you get from Chicago, but how far can you go? Eventually, it's just like Missouri, right?
Becky
Louise: Now that Darlene and Becky are moving out, I thought I'd bring some more of my stuff over and downgrade to a smaller storage unit.
Jackie: It's interesting how Louise is slowly taking over the house.
Dan: She's my wife. What exactly are you doing over here?
Jackie: I'm the wise elder. Everybody comes to me for answers.
Dan: Of all of us, Ann Marie knows you can't possibly survive without her, so she's going to hang on and let you go first.
Chuck: Well, I've drank enough beer and ate enough hot dogs. I'm doing my part.
Becky: It turns out Glenn's not good at handling adversity.
Darlene: That is not a great sign for somebody dating a Conner.
Becky: I know, and he's a smart, kind guy, but he's falling apart here. If there's a crisis, I need a partner who's got my back, and I know it makes me sound like a jerk, but I'm seeing a side of him that I'm not crazy about.
Darlene: Well, you guys haven't been together long. If you're already seeing things that worry you, jump out of the plane now while it's over water, not later when it's over rocks and pointy things.
Darlene: What's really going on here?
Dan: I'm worried that Ann Marie's going to die and Chuck's going to be devastated. I barely got through my own loss. I don't think I have the strength to go through all that again.
Am I in the right house? Something smells good, and Harris is cooking.
Darlene
