What would you say to a short one?
Scotch still your drink? Bourbon.
I'll see if she's ready.
Now listen, this was not my idea. It was my father's idea.
Benjamin, I thought I made myself perfectly clear about this.
Look, we'll go out to dinner and have a drink and I'll bring her right back.
Because it was either that or a dinner party for the two families.
And I'm afriad I couldn't quite handle that, if you don't mind.
Look, I have no intention of ever taking your precious daughter out again in her life.
So don't get upset about it.
But I am. I'm extremely upset about it, Benjamin.
Hello. Hello.
Well, I want you to keep your wits about you tonight.
You never know what tricks Ben picked up back there in the East.
You're living at home now. Is that right? Yes.
Do you know what you're going to do? No.
Are you going to graduate school? No.
Do you always drive like this? Yes.
Sit down.
Why don't you watch the show?
Benjamin, do you dislike me for some reason?
No - why should I?
I don't know.
You're missing a great effect here.
How do you like that?
Could you do it?
Stop.Hey!!!
Elaine, I'm sorry.
Will you take me home now?
I'm sorry I took you in there.
I think I'd better go home now, please.
Where is the car? I just want to tell you something.
I want to go home. But could I just tell you this one thing?
What? This whole idea, this date and everything. It was my parents' idea.
They forced me into it.
Oh - that's very nice of you to tell me.
No. What I mean is - that's why I've been acting this way.
I'm not like this. I hate myself like this.
Listen, could you just stop crying, please?
No, I couldn't.
But could you try? No.
I've had this feeling ever since I've graduated.
This kind of compulsion that I have to be rude all the time.
Do you know what I mean?
Yes, I do.
It's like I've been playing some kind of - game -
but the rudes don't make any sense to me.
They're being made up by all the wrong people.
No, I mean no one makes them up, they seem to have made themselves up.
Hey - I wonder if I could request you to turn that down a little?
Would you like to come in? I could make some coffee.
No, I mean - I wouldn't want to wake anyone up.
We won't. Let's go inside.
Wait a minute. Is anything wrong?
No, I was just thinking. It's still early.
We could do something, go somewhere else.
All right.
Where we going?
I'm trying to think of where there's a place to have a drink around here.
Isn't there one in the Taft Hotel?
What is the matter?
Nothing. I'm just wondering if they have a bar or not.
I mean let's go see. Let's go see if they do or not.
Listen, Elaine, it seems to me that there isn't a bar here.
I mean - as far as I know.
Of course there is. Look, the Veranda Room, right there.
Good evening.
Hello, how are you, sir?
Good evening, Mr. Gladstone.
Hello again.
Hi, Mr. Gladstone. How are you this evening?
Benjamin -
Let's get out of here, Elaine. Let's go somewhere else.
Do they know you? Of course not.
Good evening, sir.
Come on, Elaine. We're leaving.
Mr. Gladstone - how are you?
Benjamin, what's happening?
I don't know. They must think I look like this guy Gladstone.
Hello, Mr. Brannif.
Elaine, I like you.
I like you so much. Do you believe that?
Do you? Yes.
You're the first - you're the first thing for so long that I've liked.
The first person I could stand to be with.
My whole life is such a waste.
It's just nothing.
I'm sorry. I'll take you home now.
Benjamin - are you having an affair with someone?
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. That is not my business.
It just happened.
It was just this thing that happened along with everything else.
Can you understand that?
Was she married or something? Yes.
With a family? Yes. She had a husband and a son.
Did they ever find out? No.
And it's all over now. Yes.
I'm glad.
Can we do something tomorrow? All right.
During the day? We'll go for a drive or something.
Okay.
You sure you really want to? Yes.
Because I wouldn't want you to do it unless you really wanted to!
I do. You do?
Drive down the block.
Mrs. Robinson, Elaine I have a date. We're going for a drive.
Do exactly as I say.
Listen to me very carefully, Benjamin
You are not to see Elaine again, ever. Those are my orders. Is that clear?
Mrs. Robinson, do you think -
I can makes things quite unpleasant.
How?
In order to keep Elaine away from you, I am prepared to tell her everything.
I don't believe you.
Then you'd better start believing me.
I just don't believe you would do that.
Try me.
Elaine! Elaine! Benjamin?
I'm coming up. I'm not dressed yet.
Benjamin - I said I wasn't dressed.
You've got to go over the back fence and I'll meet you on the corner.
Benjamin, what's the matter?
Hurry up. Put your shoes on.
Benjamin, Benjamin. Elaine.
What are you doing?
Elaine, I have to tell you something. What is it?
That woman. What?
The older woman we talked about.
You mean the one who - Yes, the married woman.
It wasn't just some woman - What are you telling me?
Benjamin, will you just tell me what it is all about?
Oh, no.
Elaine - Oh my God!
Please! Get out of here!
Don't cry -
GET OUT! GET OUT!
Goodbye, Benjamin.
Say that again.
I'm going to marry Elaine Robinson.
Ha...Ha... Well - Well - Well
What's happening?
Ben says he and Elaine are getting married.
I don't believe it.
That's what he says. Right? I'm going up to Berkeley today.
Come on, let's call the Robinsons. We've got something to celebrate.
No, I think you'll want to wait on that.
They don't know? No - they don't.
Well, when did you decide all this? About an hour ago.
Wait a minute. You talked to Elaine this morning?
No, she doesn't know about it.
You mean she doesn't know that you're coming up to Berkeley?
No. Actually, she doesn't know about us getting married yet.
When did you two talk this over? We haven't.
You haven't?
Ben, this whole idea sounds pretty half-baked.
No, it's not. It's completely baked. It's a decision I've made.
But what makes you think she wants to marry you?
She doesn't. To be perfectly honest, she doesn't like me.
You're a student? Not exactly.
What's not exactly? - I said not exactly, no.
What are you then?
Well, I'm just sort of traveling through.
I like to know who's living in my house, like to know what my boys are up to.
I'm not up too much.
I'm just visiting.
I mean - I've always wanted to see Berkeley.
You're not one of those agitators? What?
One of those outside agitators. Oh - no.
I hate that. I won't stand for it.
Well, how about this for a coincidence.
I was wondering where you were headed.
I'm meeting someone.
Ah. Where?
Where are you meeting this person?
At the zoo.
The Zoo. They have a pretty good one here, do they?
I don't know, I've never seen it.
Oh. Well, I haven't either.
I might just ride out there with you.
Is that him over there? No.
Where did he say he was going to meet you? I thought he said by the monkey house.
Benjamin - I would like to know what you're doing here.
Here? In Berkelely? Yes.
Well, I have this very pleasant room on Carter Street, and I've been getting to some classes.
But you're not enrolled.
No, I just sit in. They don't seem to mind.
They've been very congenial about it.
Benjamin - you're - I don't know what to say.
Maybe we could get together some time and talk about it.
Really incredible.
Here he comes. What?
I've got a real feeling that this is the fellow.
Elaine!
He certainly is a good walker.
Am I late? I'm sorry.
We thought you said by the monkey house.
This is Benjamin Braddock. Carl Smith.
Benjamin rode here with me on the bus.
Glad to meet you, Ben. Great meeting you, Carl.
Swell seeing you.
Who is this?
I want to ask you a question. and I'm going. Come in.
No. I want to know why you're here in Berkeley?
Because - I am. Is it because I'm here?
What do you think? I think it is.
I said I think it is. All right then! Yes!
Well, I want you to leave.
Oh, look, I love you!
How could you do that, Benjamin? Do you just hate everything?
How could you possibly rape my mother? What?
I don't understand -
I don't understand how you - how anyone - could do a thing like that. What did she say?
You got tell me what did she say.
Why? Because it isn't true.
Tell me.
She said she was having a drink in the hotel with a friend.
You waited for her in the parking lot and told her she was too drunk to drive home
and you would get her a room for the night.
Then what?
Then you took her upstairs and raped her.
Oh, no, no, no, that's not what happened.
What happened was there was this party at my parents.
I drove your mother home - I don't want to hear it.
then we went upstairs to see your portrait.
No - I no - and when we got up in the room -
This is my mother! - she starts taking her her clothes off
suddenly there she was without any clothes on. I mean really naked.
Oh, hello, Mr. McCleery. Who screamed?
It's all right, Mr. McCleery.
Screaming isn't all right. Not in my house, it isn't.
It was just a visitor. But it's all right now.
What did you do to her?
Look, she's all right. She's upset and she screamed. But she's okay now.
Shall I get the cops? What?
I'll get the cops. Hey, wait a minute.
Damned look, see, here she's having some water.
Now there's no need for the cops or anything.
All right, boys, I think you can get back to your rooms now.
I don't think we'll have any more of this agitation.
Will we, Braddock? No, sir.
I want you out of here.
What do you mean? You heard me. Out of here.
What for? Because I don't like you.
I'm sorry I screamed.
Benjamin, when you came up here,
what did you think was going to happen between us?
Elaine - right now I don't feel like talking much.
I'm sorry about everything.
but I think I'll just do this now.
Can I just sit here while you're packing?
If you want.
What are you going to do now?
I don't know.
Are you going home? No.
Well, where are you going?
Elaine, you're going to stop asking me.
I don't want you to leave tomorrow.
I don't understand.
I don't want you to go anywhere.
until you have a definite plan.
Goodbye.
What's happening?
Benjamin? What?
Will you kiss me?
Will you marry me?
You won't? I don't know.
But you might. I might.
Is that so? You might marry me? Yes.
When?
I don't know.
How about tomorrow? I don't mean to be pushy but -
I don't know. I don't know what's happening.
You mean you're confused?
Well, look, don't be confused.
We're getting married.
I don't see how we can.
We just can.
I have to go now.
Elaine, are you serious about this?
I'll think about it.
You really will? Yes.
We can go down and get our blood tests tomorrow. Tomorrow?
Or this afternoon. It's a good day for it.
Benjamin, I haven't even said I'll marry you yet.
We'll need our Birth Certificates.
I happen to have mine with me. Where's yours?
I just don't think it would work. Why wouldn't it?
I just don't think it would...
Tomorrow then - can we get our blood tests tomorrow morning?
Why don't you just drag me off if you want to marry me so much?
Why don't I just drag you off?
All right, I will. Right after we get the blood tests.
I have to see Carl first.
Carl who?
Carl Smith. He's a medical student. We've known him for years.
Who, that guy at the Zoo? Yes.
Why do you have to see him?
Well, I said I might marry him.
You WHAT?
How did he do it?
Did he get down on his knees?
He didn't get down on his knees, I hope.
No, Benjamin.
Well, what did he say? I'm curious.
He said he thought we'd make a pretty good team.
Oh no. He said that.
Where did he do it?
I'd like to know where it happened?
It wasn't in his car, was it?
Good Night.
Are we getting married tomorrow? No.
The day after tomorrow?
I don't know. Maybe we are and maybe we're not.
Do you want, do you want to try and tell me why you did it?
Mr. Robinson?
Do you have a special grudge against me?
Do you feel a particularly strong resentment? No.
Is there something I've said that's caused this contempt?
Or just the things I stand for that you despise?
It was nothing to do with you, sir.
Well, Ben, it was quite a bit to do with me.
Now look, please!
Ben, I think we're two civilized people. Do you think it's necessary to threaten each other?
I'm not threatening you.
Do you want to unclench your fists, please. Thank you.
I can see in the dark, you know. I've been here quite a while.
I am trying to tell you I have no personal feelings about you, Mr. Robinson.
I am trying to tell you I do not resent you.
You don't respect me terribly much either, do you?
No, Sir.
What? No, Sir.
Don't shout at me, Ben. I may not be younger than you, but I still have good hearing.
Mr. Robinson.
Have the decency to wait until I finish?
I do think you know the consequences of what you've done.
I do think you should know that my wife and I are getting a divorce soon.
But why? -Why?!
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.
Shaking hands. Well, that's not saying much for my wife, is it?
You miss the point. -I guess I do.
The point is I don't love your wife. I love your daughter, sir.
All right, now listen this.
I don't know what I can possibly do. But I think I can.
I think I can get you behind bars if you ever look at my daughter again.
I have seen Elaine and I've made damned sure you can get to her.
Stay away from me, Ben!
I don't want to mince words with you.
As far as Elaine's concerned, you're to get her out of your filthy mind right now.
Is that perfectly clear to you? And that's all, Ben.
You'll pardon me if I don't shake hands with you.
I think you are filth.
I think you are scum.
You are a degenerate!
Mr. McCleery, do you have some change? I need to use the phone.
I want you out of here.
Look, I'll give you ten dollars for a dime. I'll give you twenty.
For God's sake, will you let me use that phone?
I'll call the police, now.
Could I make one phone call first?
Get out here!
Elaine Robinson has left the school. Her roommate is coming down with a note for you.
Dear Benjamin, please forgive me.
Because I know what I'm doing is the best thing for you.
My father is so upset you've got to understand.
I love you, but it would never work out.
Elaine.
Hello, Benjamin.
Where is she?
Hello. Get me the police, please.
Where is Elaine?
I'll be with you in a moment.
Do you have a petrol car in the vicinity of 1200 Glenview Road.
Good, we have a burglar here.
Just a second. I'll ask him. Are you armed?
No, I don't believe he is. Thank you!
What have you done to her?
I think we have everything quite under control now, Benjamin.
Would you like a quick drink before you go?
You can't stop me from seeing her, Mrs. Robinson. I'll find her.
I'm sorry we won't be able to invite you to the wedding, Benjamin
but the arrangements have been so rushed.
What the hell have you done?
Ahh. I don't think you'll have time for that drink after all.
I'll find her. -I don't think so.
Say, fellows. Any of you fellows know where Carl Smith is?
He took off in the middle of the night to get married.
Proabaly one step ahead of the shotgun.
Would you happen to know where he's getting married? I'm supposed to be there.
Why not just ask Carter?
Would you happen to know where I might find him?
Hey, Carter, where's the Make Out King getting married?
Santa Barbara.
You don't happen to know exactly where the Make Out King is getting married, do you?
I'm supposed to be there.
Where in Santa Barbara?
I don't know. Maybe at his old man's house.
Or in the maternity ward!
Are you going to the wedding? Yes.
Hey, tell him to save a piece for me.
of the wedding cake.
Can I use your phone? Yes.
657-2036 Hello - who is this?
This is Dr. Smith's answering service.
Is the doctor anywhere?
I'm afraid Doctor can't be reached right now. If you like to...
I have to know where he is.
Well, you see, the doctor is at his son's wedding, but I'm sure it's over by now.
He should be checking in any moment.
Listen to me. I am Dr. Smith's brother - Reverend Smith -
and I am supposed to perform the ceremony. I just got in from Portland.
and I've forgotten what church, you see?
Oh. Well, I'm not sure, but you might try the First Presbyterian.
That's on Allan Street. Thank you!
Allan Street. Where is it?
Alan Street. It's, it's 6 blocks up, and 3 over.
You need any gas, Father?
Oh, Jesus - God - no -
Elaine! Elaine! Elaine! Elaine!
Who is that guy? What's he doing?
I'll take care of him. He is too late.
Elaine! Elaine! Elaine! Elaine!
Get up, we have to stop him!
Ben!
You punk, you crazy punk!
Elaine, it's too late. Not for me!
