Tootsie

Totsie tells the story of an actor who takes the identity of a woman so that he can get a job. He falls in love, of course, but there is someone who also falls in love with him: a man.



- Stand by. Quiet, please, on the floor. Stand by.

- Twenty-two and twenty-three come down to eighteen.....

- Hold it, hold it....

- Five, four, three....

- Let's raise our glasses to our guest of honour, Ms. Emily Kimberly. Emily, we're all looking forward to having you grace us with your presence for many years to come.

- I can't tell you all how deeply  moved I am. I never in my wildest dreams imagined that I would be the object of so much genuine affection..... It makes it more difficult for me to say what I'm now going to say. Yes, I do feel it's time to set the record straight. I didn't come here just as an administrator, doctor Christian. I came to this hospital to settle a little score.

- What score?

- As you know, my father was a brilliant man who built this hospital, as you all know. But to his family, he was an unmerciful tyrant, an absolute dodo bird.

- Oh, no! Not live.

- Let's see where she goes.

- He drove my mother to drink..... In fact...., she went riding one time and lost all her teeth.....

-What? What?

- ...and  the oldest daughter, the pretty one, the charming one, became pregnant.... she was 15 years old and was driven out of the house. In fact, she was so terrified that.... her baby daughter would bear the stigma of illegitimacy... she decided to change her name and she contracted a disfiguring disease..... after moving to Tangiers, which is where she raised the little girl as her sister. But her one ambition....

- Any preference of shots on this one?

- ...was to become a nurse. So, she returned to the States and joined the staff right here.... at Southwest General, where she worked here and had to speak out wherever she saw injustice and inhumanity. Don't you understand that, don't you Dr. Brewster?

- I never laid a hand on her.

- Yes, you did. And she was shunned by all your nurses too.

- Give me something, one. I don't need backs. Two and three go left and right. No, two go left! Three, go right!

- ..... but she was deeply, deeply deeply, deeply loved....by her brother.

- Her brother?

- It was this brother, who on the day of her death.... swore to the good Lord above he'd follow in her footsteps. And, and,..... and,....just,... just,.... just...

- Don't, don't, don't panic.

- ...owe it all up to her! But on her terms!

- Here come the terms.

-As a woman......and just as proud to be a woman..... as she ever was..... .for I am not Emily Kimberly...... the daughter of Dwayne..... .and Alma Kimberly. No, I'm not...... I'm Edward Kimberly, the reckless brother of my sister Anthea.

- Holy Christ!

- ..... Edward Kimberly, who's finally vindicated his sister's good name. I'm Edward Kimberly. Edward Kimberly......

- I'll be damned.

 -......I'm not mentally ill, but proud......and lucky, and strong to be the woman that was the best part of my manhood. The best part of myself.

- That is one nutty hospital.

- I knew there was a reason she didn't like me!

- Commercials

- Cut it!

- And cut!
