Linda Porter: A friend Bobby Reed has been to see me with his... nefarious portfolio.
Cole Porter: If I can survive this movie, I can survive anything.
Gerald Murphy: Linda must be keeping Cartier in business.
Gabe: Never open with a ballad, and never end on one.
Linda Porter: We've become such fast friends. I was hoping you might. He'd be a good companion for you.
Cole Porter: Linda?
Linda Porter: I don't want you to be lonely.
Cole Porter: You're playing with my life.
Gabe: It's my show.
Cole Porter: There are no little memories with you.
Linda Porter: This is something new. To be inconsiderate, to ignore your obligations.
Cole Porter: I'm making such a mess trying to say this, I'm glad I'm not trying to write it as a song.
Linda Porter: It would be a beautiful serenade.
Linda Porter: What's that?
Cole Porter: An idea for a song. I think this part would go well with I love you. What do you think?
Linda Porter: I think that would be beautiful.
Cole Porter: I do you know.
Linda Porter: You don't have to love me the way I love you Cole, just love me.
Cole Porter: It's so easy.
Linda Porter: I had no idea how hot the climate would be, everything grows wild here and the pickings are far too easy.
Cole Porter: Why does Linda come back to Cole?
Linda Porter: Because he's Cary Grant. And she misses the music as do I.
Cole Porter: And chorus, keep those consonants crisp. We don't want the audience to think you're saying "an annoying opening for an ugly show." They'll come to that conclusion on their own.
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.
Cole Porter: Two people who wanted too much from each other.
Linda Porter: Cole's not like you. He creates, you destroy and as you can see you're a failure even at that.
Edward Thomas: My invitation didn't arrive.
Linda Porter: I would invite you to hell.
Gerald Murphy: She said we live in castles that are made of sand.
Cole Porter: I don't want to fight.
Linda Porter: I don't want to fight and I don't want to blame. But if things are going to be... different. I'd like to know.
Cole Porter: I'll tell you as soon as I know.
Linda Porter: You don't have to love me the way I love you Cole. Just love me.
Cole Porter: That's so easy.
