Julie: I miss Dorothy.
Michael Dorsey: You don’t have to. She’s right here. And she misses you. Look, you don’t know me from Adam. But I was a better man with you, as a woman… than I ever was with a woman, as a man. You know what I mean? I just gotta learn to do it without the dress. At this point, there might be an advantage to my wearing pants. The hard part’s over, you know? We were already… good friends.
– Michael Dorsey (Dustin Hoffman) and Julie Nichols (Jessica Lange), Tootsie (1982), screenplay by Murray Schisgal and Larry Gelbart, story by Don McGuire and Larry Gelbart
