Ruth Weston: Mrs. Sally Gibson Ross

Quotes 

• Mrs. Sally Ross : [reading the label]  Not more than 40 percent alcohol... um hmm... I thought so.

  Billy Ross : Why the idea! 40. Well, that's probably to keep the iron from rusting.

• Billy Ross : [Talking to Nancy]  All men are like that. You marry 'em. You put 'em in cages. You lock 'em up every night and you say "Oh, see my nice tame husband." But, you just leave them for a little while and you see what happens?

  Mrs. Sally Ross : Well, what does happen?

  Billy Ross : Peggy Preston. And your nice tame husband isn't tame anymore. He's wild! And you either get him back in the cage or you lose him.

• Mrs. Nancy Gibson : If Don's all right, nothing else matters.

  Billy Ross : Well, he, eh, isn't exactly all right. You see, there was some oats.

  Mrs. Nancy Gibson : Oats?

  Billy Ross : Well, some wild oats.

  Mrs. Sally Ross : Oh, Bill you're a mess!

  Billy Ross : All right, then, there's a girl.

  Mrs. Nancy Gibson : A girl?

  Billy Ross : Don's gone haywire over a girl.
