Movie Quote of the Day (‘Tootsie,’ as ‘Dorothy’ Is Stumped About What to Wear)


[“Dorothy Michaels”—that is, unemployed actor Michael Dorsey, desperate enough to resort to cross-dressing for a role—has been invited to the apartment of lovely soap-opera star Julie.]

“Dorothy” [played by Dustin Hoffman]:"I hate the way the horizontal lines make me look too hippy and it cuts me across the bust."

Jeff [played by an uncredited Bill Murray]: “I think we're getting into a weird area here."

Dorothy”: "This may seem silly to you, but this is our first date. I just want to look pretty for her."—Tootsie (1982), screenplay by Larry Gelbart and Murray Schisgal, directed by Sydney Pollack
