The Graduate quotes

  • Mrs. Braddock: [Ben is shaving in his bathroom] Oh, my.

    Benjamin: Hi.

    Mrs. Braddock: Hi, can I talk to you for a minute?

    Benjamin: Sure.

    Mrs. Braddock: Benji... darling, I'm, uh... going to ask you something, but you don't have to tell me if you don't want to.

    Benjamin: What?

    Mrs. Braddock: Well, I was going to ask you what you do when you go off at night.

    Benjamin: When I go out?

    Mrs. Braddock: You don't have to tell me, if you don't want to.

    Benjamin: No, I do, i want to tell you: I drive around.

    Mrs. Braddock: What else?

    Benjamin: Nothing else.

    Mrs. Braddock: Well, you don't drive around from midnight til noon the next day, Benjamin?

    Benjamin: Oh, no.

    Mrs. Braddock: Well then, what do you do? Do you meet someone?

    Benjamin: [Benjamin nicks his finger with the razor] Meet someone?

    Mrs. Braddock: Hm.

    Benjamin: Why do you say that?

    Mrs. Braddock: Well, this is your business. I won't play games with you.

    Benjamin: No wait, wait! I don't meet anyone, Mother, but why do you say that?

    Mrs. Braddock: Benjamin, I don't want to pry into your affairs, but I would rather you didn't say anything at all than be dishonest. Good night.

    [Mrs. Braddock leaves]

    Benjamin: Well, wait! Wait a minute!

    Benjamin: Mrs. Robinson, Elaine and I have a date, we're going for a drive.

    Mrs. Robinson: [angrily] Do exactly as I say!

    Benjamin: [Ben drives down the block] Now, it seems to me...

    Mrs. Robinson: Listen very carefully to me, Benjamin: You are not to see Elaine again, ever! Those are my orders, is that clear?

    Benjamin: Mrs. Robinson, do you think...

    Mrs. Robinson: I can make things quite unpleasant.

    Benjamin: How?

    Mrs. Robinson: In order to keep Elaine away from you, I'm prepared to tell her everything.

    Benjamin: [Ben stops the car] I don't believe you.

    Mrs. Robinson: [threateningly] Then you better start believing me.

    Benjamin: I just don't believe you would do that.

    Mrs. Robinson: Try me.

    [Ben gets out of the car]
