Susan Hayward and Dean Martin in Ada (1961)

Quotes

Ada

Edit
  • Bo Gillis: You must have been a tough little girl.
  • Ada Gillis: I'm a tough big one, too.
  • Ada Gillis: I never thought I'd be a lady, let alone a First Lady.
  • Ada Gillis: I heard about this marvelous new diet the other day, guarantees it takes 5 pounds a week off you. You don't eat anything but crow.
  • Ada Gillis: Well, there's nothing to look into, Sylvester. The appointment's up to the legislature... if you look in your pocket, that's where the legislature is.
  • Ada Gillis: There's something else funny - the way you and Bo keep reminding me of what I was. Because what you can't forgive, either of you, is that I'm not that anymore.
  • Steve Jackson: Oh, please, Governor. Let's not go into what you are now. I wouldn't want to throw up on your nice clean carpet.
  • Ada Gillis: Never put your trust in a woman, Sylvester. Any man will tell you that.
  • Steve Jackson: Say, Mrs. Gillis, when you talk to the reporters, I'd like to suggest you not say...
  • Ada Gillis: I suggest you stop worrin' about me, I'm not gonna spit on the floor.
