Quotes:

Vonda:[talking about how unrealistic the factory supervisor, Faber, is being] Well, somebody need to go and talk to Faber.
Jackie Harris:[looking at Roseanne] "Somebody"... needs to set this guy straight.
Vonda:[looking at Roseanne] Right. "Somebody"... really does.
Roseanne Conner:Well, "Somebody" doesn't feel like it, so just forget about it. Jeez, I mean, you're talking about a guy that wants to see my head mounted above the woman's restroom. Forget it!
