Ada Quotes in Armour of God 2: Operation Condor (1991)

Jackie Condor: [Discovering one guard is missing] It's strange, your grandfather had eighteen guards. Fifteen down here and two up there, that's only seventeen.

Ada: Where's the last one.

Adolf's Guard #1: [Comes into the tunnel with other guards and guns] Don't move.

Adolf: I'm the eighteenth guard.

Ada: [a piece of gold falls out of Jackie's pocket after they just escaped the base before it blew up] The constolation prize.

Elsa: [At the guards they just catured, with a gun in her hands] I'll shoot.

Adolf's Guard #3: Better believe her boys, she shoots like a maniac.

Elsa: Not a move

[Suddenly she slips, falls, and empties the gun of ammunition almost shooting someone]

Ada: Where are you from?

Man with Stolen Clothes: [last lines, shoots a gun at them] Ohh, the gods, they led them back to us.

Jackie Condor: [throws them the gold piece] Here, here is the gold you wanted.

Man with Stolen Clothes: Who wants gold, we want water.

Jackie Condor: [throws them an empty jug] here you can have the rest of this, if there is anything left

[they fight over it]

Jackie Condor: it just goes to show that we never know what we need or want.

Ada: I never thought I would see people fighting over water.

Man with Stolen Clothes: [notices that it is empty] Water, WATER!

Jackie Condor: I suggest that we get together and look for it.

[to Ada]

Jackie Condor: Well your our desert expert, where do you think we should go?

Ada: I think we should head that way, there should be an owaysiss to the north.

Elsa: No, I think we should go this way.

Jackie Condor: No, we have to listen to our desert expert.

Man with Stolen Clothes: Ohh, we must have crossed over a million sand dunes.

Ada: [as the camera pulls away eventually showing that they'er in the middle of the desert] I'm sure it's just over the next one. As I was saying, only a quarter of the desert is covered with sand.

Man with Stolen Clothes: The gods must be angry with us.

Ada: [hitting him with a stick thinking he is a burglar] Take that, get out you thief, out, out...

Jackie Condor: It's me you idiot

[he sighs painfully]

Jackie Condor: IT'S ME! I knew you wanted to hit me, but did you have to hit so hard.

Ada: [sacasticly] Yes, sure I knew it was you and that was why I hit so hard.

Ada: Quick, this whole place is going to explode Jackie.

Jackie Condor: Explode?

Jackie Condor: [looking at the bomb] What, we only have twenty minutes?

Ada: We were trying to help and then Elsa had to press that button.

Elsa, Ada, Momoko: Oley!

Bear: Hey baby

Hattie, Ada: [both freak out]

Bear: See soemthing ya like?

Hattie, Ada: [both walk away]

Bear: ...Guess not

Ada: Look at ALL those bikes.

Hattie: Look at ALL those men.

Ada: I can talk about farming in Latin. I can read French. I can lace up a corset, God knows. I can name the principal rivers in Europe, just don't ask me to name one stream in this county! I can embroider but I can't darn! I can arrange cut flowers but I can't grow them! If a thing has a function, if I might *do* something with it, then it wasn't considered suitable!

Ruby: ...Why?

Ada: Ruby, you can ask 'why' about pretty much everything to do with me! This fence is about the first thing that I've ever done that might produce an actual result.

Ada: If you are fighting, stop fighting. If you are marching, stop marching. Come back to me. Come back to me is my request.

Ada: What we have lost will never be returned to us. The land will not heal - too much blood. All we can do is learn from the past and make peace with it.

Inman: Ada, I wanna marry you. If you'll have me.

Ada: Isn't there some religion where you just say I marry you, three times, and then you're man and wife?

Inman: I marry you, I marry you, I marry you.

[Ada laughs]

Inman: Why is that funny?

Ada: No, I think it's I divorce you three times and then you're not married anymore.

[Ada laughs]

Inman: I can wait for ya.

Ada: Oh, Inman, I marry you, I marry you, I marry you, I marry you, I marry you.

[Ada and Inman kiss]

Ada: I have so... I have so many buttons, is that alright? Will you turn your back?

[Inman turns his back but then he turns back around]

Inman: Nope. No, I will not.

Ada: All this while I've been packing ice around my heart. How do I make it melt?

Inman: You are all that keeps me from sliding into some dark place.

Ada: But how did I keep you? We barely knew each other. A few moments.

Inman: A thousand moments. They're like a bag of tiny diamonds glittering in a black heart. Don't matter if they're real or things I made up. The shape of your neck, that's real. You were always carrying a tray.

Ada: You wouldn't come inside.

Inman: I wouldn't come inside.

Ada: I had to carry a tray to come out and see you.

Inman: The way you felt when I pulled you to me. That kiss- which I kissed again everyday of my walking.

Ada: Everyday of my waiting...

Ada: I brought you this book... and this photo. I'm not smiling in it. I don't know how to do that... hold a smile.

Ada: Hello, I'm Ada Monroe.

Inman: I'm Inman.

Ada: Inman?

Inman: W.P. Inman.

Ada: [repeats it] W.P. Inman.

Inman: Repeating a thing doesn't improve it.

[last lines]

Ada: [voiceover] I looked once more down Sally's well, and this time there was nothin' there to haunt me. Just clouds. Clouds, and then... sun.

[first lines]

Ada: [voiceover] Dear Mr. Inman, I began by counting the days, then the months. I don't count on anything anymore except the hope that you will return, and the silent fear that in the years since we saw each other, this war, this awful war, will have changed us both beyond all reckoning.

Ada: My love where are you? With no hope of reaching you I write to you... as I have always done.

Ada: [to Inman] But then who will be waiting for you?

Ruby: We got something for you.

Ada: For all your kindness. Coffee and pie.

Ruby: That's real coffee. It ain't chicory and dirt.

Sally: Thank you both. Ruby, I look forward to this. We all do. Esco and me.

Ruby: [grinning at Ada] She made it.

Ada: I made it.

Sally: Good God in Heaven.

Ruby: I'm still alive!

Ada: I will not leave Cold Mountain. My last thread of courage is to wait... for you.

Ada: When this war is over, there will be a reckoning.

Ada: Are you alive? I pray to God you are.

Ada: I count the number of words that have passed between us, Inman and me - not very many. But I think about it.

Ada: If you saw us this Easter... you would know that every step of your journey is worth it.

Ada: Inman. It is three years and I remember your name.

Ada: I would have followed you anywhere... to Mongolia.

Ada: Yesterday I saw you walking back to me.

Ada: Ruby, this fence may be the first thing I ever did that might produce an actual result.

Inman: This doesn't come out right. If it were enough to stand, without the words.

Ada: It is, it is.

Inman: Look at the sky now. What color is it? Or the way a hawk flies. Or you wake up and your ribs are bruised thinking so hard on somebody. What do you call that?

Ada: [to Inman] Well, you have your war.

Ruby: [yelling] Ada? Ada? You up?

Ada: Yes. It's still dark.

Ruby: Tell that to the cows. It's late!

Ada: [to her father] Daddy, come inside before you drown!

Ada: I have to eat something.

Ruby: Then you have to wake up earlier. What's that?

Ada: A novel.

Ruby: You want to carry a book, carry one you can write in.

[from trailer]

Ada: Come back to me. Come back to Cold Mountain.

Ada: Did you get a picture made?

Inman: Say again?

Ada: A tintype, with your gun and courage on display.

Inman: You're laughing at me.

Ada: I don't know you.

Inman: You're always carrying a tray.

Ruby: What kind of name's Georgia?

Ada: It's where he's from, it's not his name.

Ruby: I know that's meant to be the ugliest state under the heavens.

Ada: What do you care what his name is?

Ruby: I hope that Georgia boy's been seeing to the animals.

Ada: I thought you were thinking on him!

Ruby: I was not. I was thinking on swollen udders- and before you say same difference.

Ada: I'm not saying nothing!

Ruby: Miss lovey-dovey!

Ada: I thought I was seeing you fall, but instead I was seeing you come back to me!

Ada: [after rattlesnake scare at cemetery] Fancy this. You come all this way to bite the dust up at Boot Hill.

Burt Munro: Yeah. That would be a laugh, wouldn't it?

Ada: You really must be careful, you're in great danger of becoming rich.

Ada: Most o' my boys just want company... a bit o' cheerin' up. I'm like a mother to 'em! Only they can't fuck their mothers so they come 'ere.

Sheriff: [trying to sound professional] We have the law on our side, Ada.

Ada: Yeah, but I have the chickens AND the truck!

Ada: She's thinking thin.

[first lines]

Ada: The voice you hear is not my speaking voice - -but my mind's voice. I have not spoken since I was six years old. No one knows why - -not even me. My father says it is a dark talent, and the day I take it into my head to stop breathing will be my last. Today he married me to a man I have not yet met. Soon my daughter and I shall join him in his own country. My husband writes that my muteness does not bother him - and hark this! He says, "God loves dumb creatures, so why not I?" 'Twere good he had God's patience, for silence affects everyone in the end. The strange thing is, I don't think myself silent. That is because of my piano. I shall miss it on the journey.

Ada: At night! I think of my piano in its ocean grave, and sometimes of myself floating above it. Down there everything is so still and silent that it lulls me to sleep. It is a weird lullaby and so it is; it is mine.

[last lines]

Ada: There is a silence where hath been no sound / There is a silence where no sound may be / In the cold grave, under the deep deep sea. -Thomas Hood...

Ada: What a death! What a chance! What a surprise! My will has chosen life! Still it has had me spooked and many others besides!

Ada: George has fashioned me a metal finger tip, I am quite the town freak which satisfies!

Ada: I have told you the story of your father many many times.

Flora: Oh, tell me again! Was he a teacher?

Ada: Yes.

Flora: How did you speak to him?

Ada: I didn't need to speak. I could lay thoughts out in his mind like they were a sheet.

Flora: Why didn't you get married?

Ada: He became frightened and stopped listening.

Flora: [speaking to Aunt Morag] My mother met my father when she was an opera singer in Luxembourg.

Ada: [signing] That's enough.

Flora: Why?

[pos]

Ada: Niles, where is the baby?

Niles Perry: Holland's got the baby. He put the pain pills in your tea. He's bad. He'll never go to heaven!

Ada: And when I came here and found this church, this angel became for me, The Angel of the Brighter Day, you see?

Niles: Do you still believe she will come?

Ada: Yes.

Niles: Will the angel come for me when I die?

Ada: If you believe, then surely she will.

Niles Perry: Ada, can I be something else today? Bigger than a flower. Please? Let's play the game...the GREAT game!

Ada: The great game is it?

Niles Perry: Please? PLEASE?

Ada: Very well, then. The great game it shall be!

Niles Perry: Oh boy! Come on!

Niles Perry: He's there.

Ada: Who? What frightens you?

Niles Perry: Holland. Holland scares me.

Ada: It was only a game. We were playing a game, Doushka, like all the other games that we play. Only the time has come for all the games to stop. It is wrong, you see? Dangerous.

Ada: Look, I bring everything for supper!

Mary Kelly: [snatches an envelope full of money] You little thief! I need this money!

Ada: I only take some money to buy food. For me and for you. Was that bad, Marie?

Mary Kelly: It's fine, dear. But until I go away, it's not safe for you to go out by yourself.

Ada: [caresses Mary's face] I stay with Marie, beautiful Marie.

Mary Kelly: It's alright, darling. You don't have to pay for your food.

Ada: Pardon?

Ada: Will you look at me?

Alper: I am.

Ada: No. Look properly. Feel my hand... Feel that I'm touching you.

Ada: Right on your forehead are the lines of my hand...

Ada: Can you feel them? Open your eyes... Look at me. What can you see?

Alper: You.

Ada: Yes... But you ought to see a load of things along with me.

Alper: How do you mean?

Ada: My face should change. It should become everything you love... Otherwise it's a no-no...

Ada: Keep looking... I should be more than just me now... When you look at me it's like you should capture a moment from your own life.

Ada: There should be a story... That moment, I should be everyone you love... And everything...

Ada: Hold my hand. Can you tell which is your hand now? They should become mixed up.

Ada: You should mix them up. I should become you, and you me... You should get confused...

Ada: As though you re making love to yourself...

Alper: Ada... This is so beautiful...

Ada: Yes...

Alper: Ada... My love...

Ada: Shhh...

Alper: Ada... I love you...

Ada: I know.

Alper: Ada... Ada...

Sinem: Ada, have you fallen in love?

Ada: Don't be ridiculous.

Sinem: You have.

Ada: Look, I said no, didn't I? Are you off your head?

Sinem: Well, what else would you say?
