Clarie Hague: Dorothy Wainwright
Quotes
-
Dorothy Wainwright : So, what do you think of New York, Mr. Dundee?
Michael J. "Crocodile" Dundee : Oh, bit of a lunatic asylum, if you ask me. But that's what I like about it, 'cuz I fit right in!
[grins impishly]
Dorothy Wainwright : [gulps genteely, then turns to her husband] What a strange, unusual fellow.
Sue Charlton : [in a smiling but somewhat embarrassed low tone, so that only Mick can hear] Dorothy's fine now, but she used to be *really* uptight.
Michael J. "Crocodile" Dundee : [in naive curiosity] What happened?
Sue Charlton : She found a wonderful shrink.
[seeing that Mick doesn't know what she means, she then speaks in an even lower voice]
Sue Charlton : Psychiatrist.
Michael J. "Crocodile" Dundee : [sheepishly rolling his eyes] Ughhh. I shouldn't have made that crack about the lunatic asylum! I didn't know she was nuts.
Sue Charlton : [giggles in slightly humiliated amusement at Mick's "back-woods hick" unawareness] She's not nuts. People go to a psychiatrist to talk about their problems. She just needed to unload them. You know, bring them out in the open.
Michael J. "Crocodile" Dundee : Hasn't she got any mates?
Sue Charlton : [with a half-resigned air, knowing that this is not how her fellow "sophisticated" NYC cronies would think of it, but knowing that Mick's reasoning is certainly spot-on] You're right. I guess we could all use more mates. I suppose you don't have any shrinks at Walkabout Creek.
Michael J. "Crocodile" Dundee : Nah. Back there, if you got a problem, you tell Wally. And he tells everyone in town. Brings it out in the open. No more problem.
