Ames, you're killing it. I loved this reaction. Definitely a movie ahead of it's time, for '82. I always think of Tootsie as being a light rom com in disguise. Like you said, there's poignant deep themes going on here, and nobody expected it when it was released. And lovely Teri Garr ;( who we lost last year. She had an amazing screen presence in every film she did and had an array of classics on her resume. An equally skilled dramatic and comedic performer. Hoffman's performance, of course, what else is there to be said..!

Dustin Hoffman was terrific as usual, but I thought Teri Garr was amazing! ***** SPOILERS ***** One of my favorite scenes: Sandy: 'You're wrong, Dr. Brewster. I'm very proud of being a woman.' Michael: "I don't know what you're playing." Sandy: "Well, I'm playing rage. I'm enraged. You told me to turn the tables on him. I'm playing rage." Michael: "This is rage?" Sandy: "I have a problem with anger." Michael: "Yeah, You certainly do. But I'll tell you something. There's a hundred other actresses reading for this part who don't have a problem with anger, who aren't afraid of working, who aren't afraid to stick everything out on the line and do it!" Sandy: "Don't get mad at me!" Michael: "Well, stop being a doormat then!" Sandy: "I'm not a doormat!" Michael: "Act right now! Do it!" Sandy: "You're wrong, Dr. Brewster. I am..." Michael: "Go on." Sandy: You're wrong, Dr. Brewster..." Michael: "What do I have to do, hit you with a stick?" Sandy: "You're wrong, Dr. Brewster. I am very proud to be a woman. And I'm proud of this hospital. And before I see it destroyed by your petty tyrannies... Michael: "Have the anger. Don't show it to me. Don't push." Sandy: "...I'll recommend to the Board that you be thrown out into the street." Michael: "Don't lose it." Sandy: "Good day Dr. Brewster." Michael: "Don't whine like you're a second-rate actress." Sandy: "I said good day!" Michael: "Not bad. Pretty good." Sandy: "Did you feel how much I hated you?" Michael: "Yeah." Sandy: "Did you really? You felt it?" Michael: "Yeah, that's why I'm going." Sandy: "Wait! Where are you going? How am I going to get it back tomorrow? How am I going to get a total stranger to enrage me?" Michael: "I'll pick you up at 10:00 and enrage you."
