Ben: Is what a girl?
Mrs. Robinson: Whatever it is that upsets you.
Ben: Oh no.I'm just sort of disturbed about things.
Mrs. Robinson:In general.
Ben: That's right.
Mrs. Robinson: Well, congratulations!
Ben: Thank you.
Mrs. Robinson: Oh, Benjamin, I want to ask you something.
Ben: What?
Mrs. Robinson: Will you take me home?
Ben: What?
Mrs. Robinson: My husband took the car. Will you drive me home?
Ben: Here you are, you take it (a set of car keys). Do you know how to work a foreignshift? (Mrs. Robinson shakes her head.)You don't?
Mrs. Robinson: No.
Ben: Let's go.
Mrs. Robinson: What do you drink?Bourbon?
Ben: Look, Mrs. Robinson, I drove you home. I was glad to do it. ButI have some things on my mind.Can you understand that?
Mrs. Robinson: Yes.
Ben: All right.
Mrs. Robinson: What do you drink? Benjamin I'm sorry to be this way, but I don't want to be alone in this house.
Ben: Why not?
Mrs. Robinson: Please wait till my husband gets home.
Ben: When is he coming back?
Mrs. Robinson: I don't know. Drink?
Ben: No. Are you always this much afraid of being alone?
Mrs. Robinson: Yes.
Ben: Well, why can't you just lock the doors and go to bed?
Mrs. Robinson: I'm very neurotic. May I ask you a question? What do you think of me?
Ben: What do you mean?
Mrs. Robinson: You've known me nearly all of your life. You must have formed some opinion.
Ben: Well I've always thought that you were a very nice person.
Mrs. Robinson: Did you know I was an alcoholic?
Ben: What?
Mrs. Robinson: Did you know that?
Ben: Look I think I should be going.
Mrs. Robinson: Sit down, Benjamin.
Ben: Mrs. Robinson, if you don't mind my saying so. This conversation is getting a little strange. Now I'm sure that Mr. Robinson will be here any minute and -
Mrs. Robinson: No.
Ben: What?
Mrs. Robinson: My husband will be back quite late. He should be gone for several hours.
Ben: Oh my God.
Mrs. Robinson: Pardon?
Ben: Oh no, Mrs. Robinson, oh no.
Mrs. Robinson: What's wrong?
Ben: Mrs. Robinson, you didn't - I mean you didn't expect -
Mrs. Robinson: What?
Ben: I mean - you didn't really think that I would do something like that.
Mrs. Robinson: Like what?
Ben: What do you think?
Mrs. Robinson: Well I don't know.
Ben: For God's sake, Mrs. Robinson, here we are, you've 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?
Ben: Mrs. Robinson, you are trying to seduce me. Aren't you?
Mrs. Robinson: Why no. I hadn't thought of it. I feel rather flattered that you -
Ben: Mrs. Robinson, will you forgive me for what I just said?
Mrs. Robinson: It's all right.
Ben: It's not all right. It's the worst thing I've ever said to anyone.
Mrs. Robinson: Sit down.
Ben: Please forgive me. Because I like you. I don't think of you that way. ButI'm mixed up.
Mrs. Robinson: That's all right. Now finish your drink.
