    It would be easier to remove all quotation marks before splitting the array.

    const paragraph = `My mamma stood up and lifted a box off the ground. “We’re in America, Rune. They speak English here. You’ve been speaking English for as long as you’ve been speaking Norwegian. It’s time to use it.”`.replace(/“|”/g,'');

console.log(paragraph);
// "My mamma stood up and lifted a box off the ground. We’re in America, Rune. They speak English here. You’ve been speaking English for as long as you’ve been speaking Norwegian. It’s time to use it."

    If you insist on splitting the array first, you should loop/map over each sentence after you .split.

    const sentences = `My mamma stood up and lifted a box off the ground. “We’re in America, Rune. They speak English here. You’ve been speaking English for as long as you’ve been speaking Norwegian. It’s time to use it.”`.split('.');

const result = result = sentences.map(sentence => sentence.replace(/“|”/g,''));

console.log(result);
/*
[
   "My mamma stood up and lifted a box off the ground",
   " We’re in America, Rune",
   " They speak English here",
   " You’ve been speaking English for as long as you’ve been speaking Norwegian",
   " It’s time to use it",
   ""
];
*/

    As you can see, you end up with an empty string as the last item. To get rid of that you could also use .filter().

    result = sentences.map(sentence => sentence.replace(/“|”/g,'')).filter(sentence => sentence);

    To get rid of the whitespace, you could also use .trim().

    So to put all of this together:

    const sentences = `My mamma stood up and lifted a box off the ground. “We’re in America, Rune. They speak English here. You’ve been speaking English for as long as you’ve been speaking Norwegian. It’s time to use it.”`.split('.');

const result = sentences
  .map(sentence => sentence.replace(/“|”/g, '').trim())
  .filter(sentence => sentence);

console.log(result);

/*
[
  "My mamma stood up and lifted a box off the ground",
  "We’re in America, Rune",
  "They speak English here",
  "You’ve been speaking English for as long as you’ve been speaking Norwegian",
  "It’s time to use it"
]

    You can use .replace(),

    const p = 'My mamma stood up and lifted a box off the ground. “We’re in America, Rune. They speak English here. You’ve been speaking English for as long as you’ve been speaking Norwegian. It’s time to use it.”';

const regex = /“|”/g;

console.log(p.replace(regex, ''));
