Bill Murray in TOOTSIE

[traciragen]

something about the mix of music and the tone of his voice in the last clip, the jutting head too, reminds me of Kerouac

"I think the American Indian is as American as John and Ethel Barrymore or Donny and Marie Osmond."

[CF1975]

Besides that everything about this movie is genius (writing, cast, direction etc), Murray had some of the funniest quotes:

'I love it when people come up to me and say: 'I saw your play last night: what happened?'

And: 'That is one nutty hospital' (after Dorothy's coming out as a man on live tv).

BTW: I hope somebody will upload that brilliant, final monologue of Hoffmann on this site. I would have done it myself, but for some reason I do not succeed in that.

@CF1975

I have to say, though, his best line in this movie is towards the end when Dorothy is nearly raped: 'You slut.'

"I think the American Indian is as American as John and Ethel Barrymore and Donny and Marie Osmond." Classic.

"I saw your play.. what happened?"

I like how he loses his audience along the way! You see them asleep..
