Ben : I drove -
I drove Mrs. Robinson home. She wanted me to drive her
home so I - drove her home.
Mr. Robinson : Swell.
I appreciate it.
Ben : She's upstairs. She wanted me to wait down here
till you got home.
Mr. Robinson : Standing guard over the old castle, are
you?
Ben : Yes, sir.
Mr. Robinson : Here. Congratulations! It looks like
you need a refill.
Ben : Oh no. I've got to go.
Mr. Robinson : Is anything wrong? You look a little
shaken up.
Ben : Oh no. No - I'm just - I'm just a little worried
about my future. I'm a little upset about my future.
Mr. Robinson : Come on.
Let's have a nightcap together. Scotch?
Ben : Bourbon.
Mr. Robinson : Ben - how old are you now?
Ben : Twenty. I'll be twenty-one next week.
Mr. Robinson : That's a
hell of a good age to be.
Ben : Thank you. Thank you very much.
Mr. Robinson : I wish I was that age again. Because,
Ben -
Ben : Sir?
Mr. Robinson : You'll never be young again.
Ben : I know.
Mr. Robinson : Ben, can I say something to you?
Ben : What?
Mr. Robinson : How long have we known each other now?
How long have you and I known each other? How long have
your Dad and I been partners?
Ben : Quite a while.
Mr. Robinson : I've watched you grow up, Ben.
Ben : Yes, sir.
Mr. Robinson : In many ways I feel as though you were
my own son.
Ben : Thank you.
Mr. Robinson : So I hope you won't mind my giving you
a friendly piece of advice.
Ben : I'd like to hear it.
Mr. Robinson : Ben - I think - I think you ought to be
taking it a little easier
right now than you seem to be.
Sow a few wild oats.
Take things as they come. Have a good time with the
girls and so forth.
Mrs. Robinson : Don't get up.
Mr. Robinson : I was just telling Ben here that he
ought to sow a few wild oats. Have a good time while he
can. You think that's sound advice?
Mrs. Robinson : Yes, I do.
Ben : I've got to go.
Mr. Robinson : You have
yourself a few flings
this summer. I bet
you're quite a
ladies' man.
Ben : Oh no.
Mr. Robinson : What? You look to me like the kind of
guy who has to fight them off. (to Mrs. Robinson) And
doesn't he look to you like the kind of guy who has to
fight them off?
Mrs. Robinson : Yes, he does. |
