The Glenn Miller Story

"When someone really wants something, way inside, and they want it hard enough, they usually get it."

"Did you know that people sleep between 3:00 and 6:00 in the morning?"

"Glenn isn't my type. I guess I'm just too practical or unromantic or something. I want a man like Ed who's got a factory or a store or something solid. I certainly don't want a wandering nomad like Glenn Miller."

"What happened to that dream of yours? What about that sound?"

"I wish we could stick together, but, well, I've been eatin' for two years now. It's kinda gotten to be a habit. I don't think I can break it."

"Still got that crazy idea in your head, that sound?"

"Hey, Glenn! Come on back. Mr. Pollack wants to talk to you. He says your arrangement is a pip!"

"If you can get a style the kids like, it can go on for - years maybe. No matter who is in it. It keeps right on going."

"Louis Armstrong: Glenn, come here, Daddy. Beat out one like you did with Ben Pollack."

"It was a time that changed the world. And one man put it to music."

"Their love made such wonderful music!"
