[Offering Mrs. Robinson a coat hanger] Benjamin: Wood? Mrs. Robinson: What? Benjamin: Wood or wire? They have both. Room Clerk: Are you here for an affair, sir? Benjamin: What? Room Clerk: The Singleman party, sir? Benjamin: Ah, yes, the Singleman party. Mr. McGuire: [behind Benjamin] Ben. Benjamin: [to Joanne] Excuse me. [turns] Benjamin: Mr. McGuire. Mr. McGuire: Ben. Benjamin: Mr. McGuire. Mrs. Robinson: Benjamin. Benjamin: Yes? Mrs. Robinson: Isn't there something you want to tell me? Benjamin: Tell you? Mrs. Robinson: Yes. Benjamin: Well, I want you to know how much I appreciate this. Really. Mrs. Robinson: The number. Benjamin: What? Mrs. Robinson: The room number, Benjamin. I think you ought to tell me that. Benjamin: Oh, you're absolutely right. It's 568. Mrs. Robinson: Thank you. Benjamin: You're welcome. Well... I'll see you later, Mrs. Robinson. Mr. Braddock: What's the matter? The guests are all downstairs, Ben, waiting to see you. Benjamin: Look, Dad, could you explain to them that I have to be alone for a while? Mr. Braddock: These are all our good friends, Ben. Most of them have known you since, well, practically since you were born. What is it, Ben? Benjamin: I'm just... Mr. Braddock: Worried? Benjamin: Well... Mr. Braddock: About what? Benjamin: I guess about my future. Mr. Braddock: What about it? Benjamin: I don't know... I want it to be... Mr. Braddock: To be what? Benjamin:... Different.
Benjamin: Where did you do it? Mrs. Robinson: In his car. Benjamin: What kind of car was it? Mrs. Robinson: Come on now. Benjamin: No, I really want to know. Mrs. Robinson: A Ford. Benjamin: Goddamn, that's great. So old Elaine Robinson got started in a Ford. Mr. McGuire: I want to say one word to you. Just one word. Benjamin: Yes, sir. Mr. McGuire: Are you listening? Benjamin: Yes, I am. Mr. McGuire: Plastics. Benjamin: Just how do you mean that, sir? Mr. Braddock: Don't you think that idea is a little half-baked? Benjamin: Oh no, Dad, it's completely baked. Benjamin: Oh my god. Mrs. Robinson: Pardon? Benjamin: Oh no, Mrs. Robinson. Oh no. Mrs. Robinson: What's wrong? Benjamin: Mrs. Robinson, you didn't... I mean, you didn't expect... Mrs. Robinson: What? Benjamin: I mean, you didn't really think I'd do something like *that*. Mrs. Robinson: Like what? Benjamin: What do you think? Mrs. Robinson: Well, I don't know. Benjamin: For god's sake, Mrs. Robinson. Here we are. You got me into your house. You give me a drink. You... put on music. Now you start opening up your personal life to me and tell me your husband won't be home for hours. Mrs. Robinson: So? Benjamin: Mrs. Robinson, you're trying to seduce me. Mrs. Robinson: [laughs] Benjamin: Aren't you? Mrs. Robinson: Benjamin, I am *not* trying to seduce you. Benjamin: I know that, but *please*, Mrs. Robinson, this is difficult... Mrs. Robinson: Would you like me to seduce you? Benjamin: What? Mrs. Robinson: Is that what you're trying to tell me? Benjamin: I'm going home now. I apologize for what I said. I hope you can forget it, but I'm going home right now. Benjamin: Mrs. Robinson, if you don't mind my saying so, this conversation is getting a little strange.
Mr. Robinson: Do you ummm... do you want to tell me *why* you did it Benjamin: Mr. Robinson! Mr. Robinson: Do you have a special grudge against me? Do you feel a particularly strong resentment? Is there something I've said that's caused this contempt, or is it just things I stand for that you despise? Benjamin: Listen to me. What happened between Mrs. Robinson and me was nothing. It didn't mean anything. We might just as well have been shaking hands. Mr. Robinson: Shaking hands? Well, that's not saying much for my wife, is it? Benjamin: Look, maybe we could do something else together. Mrs. Robinson, would you like to go to a movie? Benjamin: Mrs. Robinson, I can't do this. Mrs. Robinson: You what? Benjamin: This is all terribly wrong. Mrs. Robinson: Do you find me undesirable? Benjamin: Oh no, Mrs. Robinson. I think, I think you're the most attractive of all my parents' friends. I mean that. Elaine: Good night. Benjamin: Are we getting married tomorrow? Elaine: No... Benjamin: Day after tomorrow? Elaine: I don't know. Maybe we are, and maybe we're not. Mrs. Braddock: What makes you think she wants to marry you? Benjamin: Oh, she doesn't. To be perfectly honest she doesn't like me. Mr. Braddock: Ben, what are you doing? Benjamin: Well, I would say that I'm just drifting. Here in the pool. Mr. Braddock: Why? Benjamin: Well, it's very comfortable just to drift here. Mr. Braddock: Ben, what are you doing? Benjamin: Well, I would say that I'm just drifting. Here in the pool. Mr. Braddock: Why? Benjamin: Well, it's very comfortable just to drift here. Mr. Braddock: Have you thought about graduate school? Benjamin: No. Mr. Braddock: Would you mind telling me then what those four years of college were for? What was the point of all that hard work? Benjamin: You got me.
[ending lines] Mrs. Robinson: Elaine, it's too late. Elaine: Not for me. Mr. Braddock: Well would you mind telling me what these last four years of hard work was for? Benjamin: You got me... Benjamin: Elaine, would you just tell me where he proposed to you? Benjamin: Oh God, it wasn't in his car, was it? Benjamin: [he realises that he's naked] Good God. Gas station attendant: Do you need any gas, Father?
[beginning lines] Pilot: Ladies and gentlemen, we are about to begin our descent into Los Angeles. The sound you just heard is the landing gear locking into place. Los Angeles weather is clear; temperature is 72. We expect to make our 4 hour and 18 minute flight on schedule. We have enjoyed having you on board, and look forward to seeing you again in the near future. [Mrs. Robinson enters Elaine's room, naked, locking the door and Benjamin is inside with her] Benjamin: Oh God. Oh, let me out. Mrs. Robinson: Don't be nervous. Benjamin: Get away from that door. Mrs. Robinson: I want to say something first. Benjamin: Jesus Christ. Mrs. Robinson: Benjamin, I want you to know that I'm available to you, and if you won't sleep with me this time... Benjamin: Oh, my Christ. Mrs. Robinson: If you won't sleep with me this time I want you to know that you can call me up anytime you want and we'll make some kind of arrangement. Benjamin: Oh... Mrs. Robinson: Do you understand what I... Benjamin: Let me out. Mrs. Robinson: Benjamin, do you understand what I just said? Benjamin: Yes! Yes. Let me out! Mrs. Robinson: I find you very attractive. Mr. McCleery: I want you outta here. Benjamin: What? Mr. McCleery: I want you outta here. Benjamin: Why?
Mr. McCleery: Because I don't like you. [closes door] Mr. McCleery: [asking Benjamin what he is doing in Berkeley] I just like to know what my boys are up to. Mr. McCleery: You aren't one of those agitators, are you? Benjamin: What? Mr. McCleery: I hate 'em. I won't stand for it.
