Joe Grifasi: IRS Office Supervisor

Quotes 

• IRS Office Supervisor : You know, if more people would take to time to read these simple instructions, they wouldn't have to come down here and ask stupid questions, and then maybe these lines wouldn't be so long. So long!

  Roseanne : Hey. Hey. Hey, listen, you pencil-pushing geek. I really didn't come down here stand in line all day, to put up with your condescending, snotty, little attitude, you know. I mean, I'm sure it is a pain in your butt to answer our unimportant little questions, but that is your job, isn't it, and you are paid with our tax money.

• IRS Office Supervisor : I'm sorry Ma'am. Uh, I didn't get your name.

  Dan : [smiling]  You don't need her name.

  Roseanne : [Roseanne makes her way back up to the window]  No, Dan... I'm... I'm not gonna... be intimidated by that little weasel.

  Dan : Hunny, this isn't the unemployment office.

  Roseanne : [walking through the line]  No, no. I have nothing to hide. Excuse me, Rabbi.

  [standing at the window, to the IRS Supervisor] 

  Roseanne : I am not afraid to tell you my name... It's Wagner!

  [crowd applauds as she starts to leave, Dan whispers 'Mrs. Norris T' to Roseanne] 

  Roseanne : Mrs. Norris T. Wagner!
