I'd like to make her look a little more attractive.
How far can you pull back?
Cameraman:
How do you feel about Cleveland?
-----
George Fields:
You played a tomato for 30-seconds; they went
a half-a-day over schedule 'cause you wouldn't sit down.
Michael Dorsay:
Yes, it wasn't logical.
George Fields:
You were a tomato! A tomato doesn't have logic!
-----
George Fields:
A guy's got four weeks to put on a play; you
think he wants to sit and argue about whether or not Tolstoy
can, can walk when he's dying, or walk when he's taking, or
sing when he's walking?
-----
Julie Nichols:
There are a lot of men out there. I'm selective.
I look around very carefully. And, when I find the one I think
can give me the worst possible time, that's when I make my
move.
-----
Jeff:
That is one nutty hospital.
-----
Dorothy Michaels:
It was this brother who, on the day of her
death, swore to the good lord above that he would follow in
her footsteps and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and,
and, and, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just,
just, just, owe it all up to her! But, on her terms!
-----
Michael Dorsay:
[I] was a better man with you as a woman, then
I ever was with a woman as a man. Know what I mean? I just
got to learn to do it without the dress.
-----
George Fields:
You are psychotic!
Michael Dorsay:
No, I'm not, I'm employed.
-----
Michael Dorsay:
Les, the sweetest, nicest man in the world
tonight asked me to marry him!
George Fields:
A guy named Les wants you to marry him?
Michael Dorsay:
Ye . . . no, not me, wants to marry Dorothy.
George Fields:
Does he know she's a lesbian?
Michael Dorsay:
Dorothy's not a lesbian!
George Fields:
I know that but does he know that?
Michael Dorsay:
Know what?!
George Fields:
That . . .what . . . I don't, I don't know.
-----
Ron:
Tootsie, take ten.
Dorothy Michaels:
Ron, my name is Dorothy! It's not tootsie,
or toots, or sweety, or honey, or doll.
Ron:
Look . . .
Dorothy Michaels:
No, just Dorothy. Now Alan's always Alan. Tom
is always Tom. And, John is always John. I have a name, too!
It's Dorothy, capital D-o-r-o-t-h-y, Dorothy!
-----
Ron Carlisle:
[Y]ou cry loudly, "Nurse Charles, are you insane!"
John Van Horn:
Yes, I see. Will it be on the teleprompter?
"Loudly"?
Ron Carlisle:
Yeah.
John Van Horn:
And, who do I say that to?
-----
Michael Dorsay:
[I] think Dorothy is smarter than I am.
-----
Michael Dorsay:
I am Dorothy, Dorothy is me. Nobody is writing
that part. It's coming out of me.
-----
Sandy:
Boy, you must really think I'm stupid or something.
Jeff:
Ahh, no one would call you stupid, to your
face.
