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
