Taissa Farmiga: Gladys Russell

Quotes 

• Miss Grant : Who is this young man anyway?

  Gladys Russell : Archie Baldwin. He's very respectable. His grandfather was an ambassador. His father is a banker, and so is he. His mother's people came over on the "Mayflower."

  Miss Grant : Hmm, if everyone who claimed to be on the "Mayflower" really was, it would have to be the size of a White Star liner.

• Gladys Russell : The thing is, I have a favor to ask.

  George Russell : You mean you want something and you haven't asked your mother.

• Gladys Russell : He's quite respectable. A forebear on his mother's side as an officer at the battle of Yorktown.

  Bertha Russell : Indeed.

  Larry Russell : Did your ancestors fight at Yorktown, Mother? Or were they too busy digging potatoes in Kerry?

  George Russell : You will be civil to your mother. Remember, her ancestors are your ancestors too.
