Ada Quonsett
- Tanya Livingston: Have you ever been a stowaway on any other airline?
- Ada Quonsett: Oh, yes. But I like Trans Global the best.
- Tanya Livingston: [sarcastically] Well, it's nice to meet a satisfied customer.
- Ada Quonsett: My late husband played the violin. Not professionally, but he was very good. He once played the Minute Waltz in 58 seconds.
- Tanya Livingston: Perhaps Mr. Bakersfeld could impress upon Mrs. Quonsett that this isn't a very nice thing to do. Mrs. Livingston hasn't been able to!
- Mel Bakersfeld: [timidly] Yes, uh... Mrs., uh... Quonsett? Uh, what you've done is, uh... dishonest. You've broken the law. You've defrauded Trans Global.
- [Mrs. Quonsett smiles and keeps nodding]
- Mel Bakersfeld: Don't you realize they could prosecute you?
- Ada Quonsett: But they wouldn't, would they? I don't think it would be very good public relations for a big airline to prosecute a little old lady just because she wanted to visit her daughter!
- Ada Quonsett: My late husband taught me to be thorough. He was a teacher of geometry. He always said: "You must consider every angle."
- Tanya Livingston: My late husband was a lawyer, and he always said: "Watch out for sweet-looking innocent, little old ladies." I'm beginning to understand what he meant.
- Ada Quonsett: Now there's nothing to be nervous about. I've flown thousands of miles and I can tell you it's a lot safer than crossing the street!
- Ada Quonsett: You've been so busy, we just haven't had a chance to chat. I'm Ada Quonsett.
- D.O. Guerrero: How do you do.
- Ada Quonsett: What's your name, sir?
- D.O. Guerrero: Guerrero.
- Ada Quonsett: Guerrero! That's Spanish, isn't it?
- D.O. Guerrero: Yes, but way... back.
- Ada Quonsett: You look more Irish.
- D.O. Guerrero: So did my mother.
