Ron:
I'm afraid you're not right for this role. Thanks for coming by.
Dorothy:
Why am I not right, Mister Carlisle?
Ron:
I'm trying to make a certain statement and I'm looking for a specific physical type.
Dorothy:
Mr. Carlisle, I'm an actress. I'm a character actress. I can play it any way you want.
Ron:
I'm sure you're a very good actress. It's just that you're not threatening enough.
Dorothy:
Not threatening enough? Listen, 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:
[shaken] It's a start.
Dorothy:
Oh I know what y'all really want is some gross, caricature of a woman to prove some idiotic point that power makes a woman masculine, or masculine women are ugly. Well shame on you for letting a man do that, or any man that does that. That means you, dear. Miss Marshall. Shame on you, you macho sh*t head.
