Ron Carlisle:
Gosh I'm afraid you're not right for this role though, honey, thanks for coming by. Dorothy Michaels:
Why am I not right, Mister Carlisle? Ron Carlisle:
I'm trying to make a certain statement here and I'm looking for a specific physical type. Dorothy Michaels:
Mr. Carlisle, I'm an actress. I'm a character actress. I can play it any way you want. Can't you give me any idea what you're looking for? Ron Carlisle:
Honey, I'm sure that you're a very, very good actress. It's just that you're a little too soft and genteel, you're Not threatening enough. Dorothy Michaels:
Not threatening enough? How's this, you take your hands off me or I'll knee your balls right through the roof of your mouth! Is that enough of a threat? Ron Carlisle:
[shaken]
It's a start. Dorothy Michaels:
Yes, I think I know what y'all really want. You want some gross caricature of a woman to prove some idiotic point, like power makes a woman masculine, or that masculine women are ugly. Well shame on the woman who lets you do that, on ANY woman that lets you do that. [to Rita] Dorothy Michaels:
And that means you, dear, Miss Marshall. [turning back to Ron] Dorothy Michaels:
Shame unto you! Macho shithead. [storms off] Rita:
Jesus! Ron Carlisle:
What is so idiotic about power making a woman masculine? [reconsidering when he sees Rita] Ron Carlisle:
Not that that was my point
