I once was like the character "Michael" in the scene with agent, not as extreme but argumentative, I grew up. My social media alter ego, is a bit more forward but comes up with some good ideas as I am shy & reserved. Sincerely, Jason Lowen
Totally agree - I reckon this is the best scene as well. Great timing and varying the pace when they are talking across each other. Sydney Pollack gets 'frazzled' bang on. Tootsie is still a great film (or certainly the first half is). Thanks for uploading!
What's really funny (unintentionally) about the arrogant New Yorker put down of people in New Jersey living next to chemical waste is that Love Canal is in New York!
This was a classic scene! ...The agent, and his client.
The late Sydney Pollack was excellent, and the great Dustin Hofman of course! they don't make movies like this anymore. It showed a true actor in all his narcisism relate his feelings to is agent.
Today as great as you think they may be we have hardly no "actors" around these days...all we have is "eye candy, robots, or politicians who are in the buisness only, to make money and feel powerful; very little artists emerging today.
Oh my gosh, I just re-watched Husbands & Wives recently..that scene w/ him & Woody Allen in the store arguing about why Pollack left his wife, telling Allen to butt out b/c he keeps calling his new bimbo gf a cocktail waitress, then he suddenly says "and your mother's not in town, she's in Florida!" b/c he knows Allen's using that as an excuse not to have dinner w/them...so classic and real and hilarious..it doesn't even seem scripted!
Actually, all the 3 Tootsie scenes Pollack participated in are brilliant, hilarious to the point of rotfl-ing and i guess he had to be utterly entitled to expect the best out of the actors he ever directed : giving such outstanding performances himself, he shouldn't expect any less from them...
I know Jessica Lange won Best Supporting Actress, but I also say that Sydney Pollak should have been nominated for & WON Best Supporting Actor. A truly unappreciated performance.
Honest to god (even though i don't believe in one), here where Pollack cracks up, has always been one of the most appreciated moments in movie history as far as my taste goes. The whole office scene of course too.
something like that. Dabney Coleman was supposed to play the agent. Dustin said to Pollack that he would put the dress on for pollack if he played the agent, to the point of sending him flowers from dorothy for about a month before the movie started shooting.
Hoffman did a movie with Benny Hill (called Italain Job). Hill was considered funnier than Monty Python by a UHF station running both shows (station was WLVI TV Channel 56 in Cambridge, Ma)! I agree! About MP---combine "exodus" and "international" and ".org".
This is one of the strangest things I've ever read. You've posted it in a few places. Dustin Hoffman is not in the Italian Job. What are you talking about? What does a UHF station have to do with it?
I can't even send you up for a commercial..you played a tomato for 30 seconds, they went a half day over schedule cuz you wouldn't sit down
Yes, it wasn't logical
You were a TOMATO!!!! A Tomato doesn't have logic! a tomato can't move!!!
That's what I said...so if he can't move, how's he gonna sit down George? I was a stand up tomato, a juicy, sexy beefsteak tomato!!! Nobody does vegetables like me!
something good will happen to u and if u don't the dark world will do very bad things to u A boy named Thomas was walking then he heard a noise in the woods He thought it was just a rabbit so he kept on walking then he saw a flash then died Now that u read this repost this on 10 different Youtube videos in less than 24 hours or you will see a bloody dirty face in the window and he will kill you with a knife HURRY u dont have much time

hey assface. I am very creative and love movies of all types. I thought this was poorly acted, typical late 70's early 80's crap. Opionions are like assholes, we all have them
Listen you fucktard - I play 4 instruments and I sing. I am a photographer, filmaker and writer. So before you go off insulting people with completely unoriginal epithets, you can lick my left nut. Let ME and people LIKE ME decide who and what the fuck is creative and people like you can keep bagging my groceries. Badmouthing Tootsie gave you away - you are an uncouth, unsophisticated, uneducated turd and the last "creative" thing you probably did was take a crap in your mom's basement toilet.
sissy?? you really are 40..they haven't used that word since the late 60's!! Laughing my ass off. That is the limit of your creative insulting?? You have to be kidding me.
Well let's be a little bit more sympathetic to him. After all he's been through the 80ies as an adult, yet never got the chance to appreciate Tootsie's performances.
Then sir, you must be having the deepest, widest and smelliest opinion the world has ever known.

Long Live SYDNEY POLLACK, what a Talented Director, and a Funny GUY! I HAVE TO AGREE WITH MICHAEL on this ONE, A TOMATO CAN'T SIT DOWN...A TOMATO DOESN'T DO ANYTHING!
Questa è la migliore scena in assoluto di Sidney Pollak che diventa rosso per la rabbia!! Non dimentichero' mai Sidney Pollak, mai Dustin Hoffman e mai questo film, che è uno dei migliori film in assoluto nella storia degli anni 80. Vi amo.
You were a TOMATO!!!! A Tomato doesn't have logic! a tomato can't move!!!

this is when good acting was crucial for any serious comedy... not sure this is present it today's films with too good looking marginally talented people..
Always wanted to meet this guy. Mr. Pollack always seemed like the friendliest, most approachable talent in the world. Have always been a big admirer of his. And he will be forever emblazoned in my memory for (brilliantly) arguing with Dustin Hoffman over the logistics of being a tomato. Now I must just say God rest him. Thanks for this.
In Woody Allen's "Husbands & Wives", Sydney Pollack has a memorable argument at a friend's soiree, when he goes off on his young, New-Age girlfriend played by Lysette Anthony--Hysterical and classic!!!
Sydney Pollack was unquestionably a versatile artist. He will be missed...R.I.P.
"Nobody wants to pay twenty dollars to watch people living next to chemical waste! They can see that in New Jersey!" Syndey Pollack should've won an Oscar just for that line alone. RIP, Syndey.
Would someone please put the restaurant scene on here. It's where Dustin Hoffman meets his agent at the restaurant dressed as a woman and sits down with him. It is one of the funniest scenes ever with Sydney Pollack.
Rest in peace, Mr. Pollack. He was an outstanding director and actor. Tootsie, after Out of Africa are my all time favorite films. Condolescences to his family. He was a wonderful gift to filmmaking. Rest in peace, sir.
Sydney was one of those artists who always brought quality and heart to his work, whether acting or directing. He reminded us of how good it is to be human, to feel, to laugh, and love.
I LOVE this film. It is so brilliant. You root for dustin hoffman all through the film. And Sydney Pollack plays his agent so well. This film reminds me of a simpler hollywood. Back in the day when it was all about getting a agent and hitting the big leagues in acting. Very inspiring film.
PLEASE DON'T READ THIS. You will get kissed on the nearest possible Friday by the love of your life. Tomorrow will be the best day of your life. However, if you don't post this comment to at least 3 videos, you will die within 2 days. Copy and paste this, to be saved

For all those who love Sydney Pollack, check him out in Woody Allen's "Husbands & Wives". He's a great actor as well as director.

I LOVE this film. It is so brilliant. You root for dustin hoffman all through the film. And Sydney Pollack plays his agent so well. This film reminds me of a simpler hollywood. Back in the day when it was all about getting a agent and hitting the big leagues in acting. Very inspiring film.
