Monty Woolley Quotes in Night and Day (1946)

Monty Woolley: Haven't you ever wanted to be alone?

Gracie Harris: Yes, but with somebody.

Cole Porter: Thanks for all the flowers.

Monty Woolley: Yes, one can only send them to a man when he's flat on his back.

Monty Woolley: Cole, he's only an actor but he still may be right. He's tried it 7 times already, the song's a problem.

Cole Porter: The song is not a problem, it's a challenge. Jack! Jack my boy, how can I help you? Ask me anything.

Jack: Write another song.

Cole Porter: Oh God, that cuts me right to the quick. I know it's God awful but it's the best I can do and we open in three days.

Jack: Where do you get your ideas?

Cole Porter: I get them all from a little Chinese man in Poughkeepsie.

Jack: Mr Porter, the song goes so high and so low it's impossible.

Cole Porter: It's not impossible. I wrote this with you in mind, I can sing it and I have a range of three notes.

Cole Porter: Monty! I didn't recognize you under all that hair!

Monty Woolley: We've all changed since school. At Yale the only grooms who interested you were in the stables.
