승객여러분,
저희 비행기는

 

곧 LA에 착륙하겠습니다

 

LA의 온도는 22℃로
날씨는 화창한 편이며

 

예정대로 4시간 18분만에
도착하였습니다

 

저희 비행기를

 

이용해 주셔서 감사합니다.
안녕히 가십시오

 

무슨 일이냐?

 

벤, 손님들이 모두
아래층에서 기다리는데

 

잠시 저 혼자 있고
싶어서요

 

다 우리 친구들이잖니

 

대부분
네가 태어났을 때부터

 

너를 알던 사람들이고

 

무슨 일이 있니?

 

저 단지...

 

걱정되는 일이라도?

 

무엇 때문에?

 

제 앞날에 대해
생각하고 있었어요

 

어떻게?

 

모르겠어요

 

미래에는 뭔가가...

 

그래서?

 

달라졌으면 해요

 

- 무슨 문제라도?
- 아니야. 곧 내려가지

 

칼슨 부부도 왔어요

 

그래? 잘 됐군

 

타재너에서
먼 길을 왔잖아요

 

어서 내려가자구요

 

좋은 친구들을 많이
뒀다는 건 멋진 일이야

 

우리의
수석 졸업생이 왔군!

 

우리 모두
네가 정말 자랑스럽다

 

- 밖의 빨간 차가 네 거니?
- 졸업 선물이지

 

- 덕분에 많이 꼬시겠는걸?
- 네?

 

아가씨들.
노는 애들 말이야

 

벤은 그런 여자애들과
안 어울릴 것 같은데

 

맞아요

 

죄송하지만, 차에
살펴봐야 할 게 있어서요

 

봅이 그에게
알파 로메오를 사 줬어요

 

- 잘 있었나, 챔피언?
- 안녕하세요, 루미스씨

 

한 잔 하고, 네가 탔다는
호퍼맨상에 대해 들어보자

 

- 헬핑햄상이에요
- 맞아. 여기서 기다려

 

네가 정말 자랑스럽구나

 

진짜, 진짜, 진짜로
자랑스러워!

 

이제 뭘 할거야?

 

제 방으로 올라가려고요

 

- 장래에 뭘 할 거냐고?
- 인생 설계 말이야

 

얘기하기가 곤란한데

 

실례합니다

 

맥과이어씨

 

나랑 얘기 좀 하지

 

- 실례해도 되겠어요?
- 그럼요

 

자네에게 한 마디만...

 

- 딱 한 마디만 하지
- 그러시죠

 

- 내 말 듣고 있나?
- 네

 

플라스틱!

 

무슨 말씀이신지?

 

그것에는 장래의
큰 가능성이 있어

 

- 생각해 보겠나?
- 그렇게 하죠

 

얘기는 됐고,
거래 성립이군!

 

- 벤이 저기 있네요!
- 잠깐 실례하겠습니다

 

모두 조용히 해 주세요.
벤의 대학 연감이랍니다

 

벤의 눈부신 활약에 대해
읽어 드릴게요

 

조용히 좀 해 주세요!

 

""크로스 컨트리팀과
토론회의 회장이며

 

""1학년 때는 대학 신문의
부편집장이었고

 

""다음 해에는 편집장 역임...

 

여기가
욕실이 아니었구나!

 

복도 끝에 있는데요

 

잘 지냈어, 벤자민?

 

네, 로빈슨 부인

 

욕실은

 

방이 멋지구나

 

저... 무례하게 굴
생각은 없습니다만

 

저기...

 

여기 재떨이 없니?

 

깜빡했군. 만능 수재는
담배를 피우지 않겠지

 

여자 때문이야?

 

"여자"라니요?

 

네가 언짢아하는
이유말이야

 

아니오. 전 단지...

 

제가 걱정하는 일들은...

 

- 전반적인 것들?
- 그래요

 

그건 그렇고

 

- 축하해
- 고마워요

 

- 부탁할 게 있는데
- 뭔데요?

 

- 날 좀 바래다 주겠어?
- 네?

 

남편이 차를 가져갔거든

 

제 차를 가져가세요.
기어 변환이 좀 틀린데

 

- 할 줄 아시겠어요?
- 몰라

 

바래다 드릴게요

 

- 고마워
- 천만에요

 

함께 들어 가겠어?

 

내가 불을 켜는
동안 말야

 

- 왜요?
- 어두우면 무섭거든

 

먼저 들어 가 주겠어?

 

난 캄캄한 집에
들어가는 게 싫어

 

- 집 안이 환한데요
- 제발

 

뭐 마실래? 버번?

 

댁까지는 기꺼이
모셔다 드렸지만

 

제가 머리가 좀 복잡해서...
이해하시죠?

 

뭐 마시겠어?

 

이러고 싶지는 않지만
난 혼자 있고 싶지 않아

 

- 왜죠?
- 내 남편이 올 때까지만

 

- 언제 들어오시는데요?
- 모르겠어

 

- 마실래?
- 아니오

 

항상 이렇게 혼자
있는 걸 두려워하세요?

 

문을 잠그고
주무시면 되잖아요?

 

난 무척 예민하거든...

 

하나 물어 봐도 될까?
날 어떻게 생각해?

 

무슨 뜻이죠?

 

오래 알아왔으니, 나에
대한 생각이 있을 텐데

 

항상 좋은 분이라
생각했어요

 

내가 알콜중독자였다는 거
알아?

 

- 네?
- 알고 있었지?

 

저 가 봐야 해요

 

앉아, 벤자민

 

이런 말씀 드리기는
좀 그렇지만

 

대화가 점점
이상해지는군요

 

- 남편께서 곧 오실 텐데
- 아니야

 

그이는 늦게 들어와

 

몇 시간 뒤에나 올 거야

 

맙소사!

 

- 뭐라고 했니?
- 아무 것도 아닙니다

 

뭐가 잘 못 됐니?

 

설마 정말로 제가 그런...

 

- 뭐가?
- 그런 일을 할 거라고

 

- 무슨 일 말이야?
- 뭘 거 같아요?

 

난 모르겠는데

 

그만 하세요,
로빈슨 부인!

 

저를 집까지 데려와서는
술을 권하지 않나

 

제게 사생활까지
늘어 놓으며

 

- 남편이 늦게 들어 온다고...
- 그래서?

 

저를 유혹하고
계시는 거 잖아요

 

아닌가요?

 

그런 생각해 본 적은
없지만, 기분은 좋네

 

이런 말씀 드린 거
용서하십시오

 

- 괜찮아
- 제가 너무 심했어요

 

앉아

 

용서하십시오. 실은
부인을 좋아한답니다

 

하지만 그런 식은
아니에요

 

- 됐어. 잔이나 비워
- 그런 말씀을 드리다니

 

잊어 버리자구.
잔이나 마저 비우라니까

 

- 내가 어찌 된 거지?
- 내 딸의 초상화를 봤니?

 

일레인이요?

 

- 보고 싶니?
- 좋아요

 

여기
일레인의 방에 있단다

 

대단히 매력적인데요

 

그녀의 눈이 갈색이라는
걸 잊고 있었어요

 

- 이리로 와 볼래?
- 거기로요?

 

지퍼 좀 내려 줄래?

 

- 난 가서 자야겠어
- 안녕히 주무세요

 

- 지퍼 안 내려 줄 거야?
- 그러지 않는 게 좋겠어요

 

내가 아직도
유혹한다고 생각해?

 

아니오. 하지만
좀 이상해서요

 

- 우린 잘 아는 사이잖니
- 그렇기는 하지만...

 

그러지 말고...
손이 안 닿아서 그래

 

뭐가 겁나서 그러니?

 

겁나는 게 아니에요

 

그러면 왜 도망치려 하지?

 

주무실 테니, 제가 여기
있을 필요가 없죠

 

속옷만 입은 여자
본 적 없어?

 

있기는 하지만...

 

지금 남편이
돌아 오신다면요?

 

- 그래서?
- 우습게 보일 거 아니에요?

 

우리를 믿을 거야

 

그렇긴 하지만
수상해 할 겁니다

 

내가 네 어머니 뻘인데
누가 그런 생각을 하겠어?

 

그렇게 생각한다니까요!

 

너를 유혹하는 게
아니라니까

 

알아요. 하지만
이건 그리 단순하지가...

 

내가 유혹하기를 바라니?

 

네가 말하고 싶은 게
그거 아냐?

 

돌아가겠어요. 제가
한 말을 사과드립니다

 

지금 가겠어요

 

- 핸드백 좀 가져다 줄래?
- 정말로 가야겠어요

 

딴 말 필요 없고
그거나 가져다 줘

 

- 어디 있는데요?
- 현관 테이블 위에

 

- 로빈슨 부인!
- 나 욕실에 있어

 

부인... 핸드백이요

 

이리로 가져와

 

여기에 놓을게요.
계단 위에요

 

네가 자꾸 의심하는데
신물이나!

 

그런 작은 부탁도
못 들어주니?

 

계단 위에
핸드백을 놓았어요

 

유치하게 굴지 말고
이리로 가져다 줘!

 

문 앞에 놓습니다

 

내게 달라니까

 

안 그러는 게 좋겠어요

 

그러면 그걸 일레인의
방에 가져다 놔 줘

 

하느님 맙소사!

 

- 나가겠어요
- 진정하렴

 

- 나가게 해 주세요
- 내 얘길 들어 봐

 

오늘 밤 나하고
자고 싶지 않다면

 

오늘 밤 내키지 않는다면
원할 땐 언제든지 전화해

 

- 알겠어?
- 나가겠어요!

 

- 알아들었냐구?
- 나가겠다니까요!

 

난 네가 매력적이라고
생각해

 

남편이 왔어요!

 

- 밖에 벤의 차 아냐?
- 네, 그렇습니다

 

부인을 바래다 드렸어요

 

부인이 그렇게 해 달라고
하셨거든요

 

고맙군

 

부인께서 로빈슨씨가 올
때까지 기다리라고 하셔서

 

기사도 정신이
투철하구만

 

축하하네!

 

- 잔이 비었군
- 가 봐야겠어요

 

안 좋은 일이라도?

 

안색이 안 좋은데

 

미래에 대해
생각이 많아서요

 

좀 걱정이
되니까 말이죠

 

나하고 한 잔
더하고 가지

 

자네 나이가 몇인가?

 

다음 주면 21살이 됩니다

 

- 좋은 때로군!
- 감사합니다

 

정말 고맙습니다

 

나도 다시 그 나이로
돌아갔으면 좋겠군

 

왜냐하면 말야...

 

그 시절은
딱 한 번 뿐이거든

 

알고 있습니다

 

- 충고 하나 할까?
- 뭔데요?

 

우리가 알고 지낸 게
얼마나 되지?

 

자네와 내가
알고 지낸 거 말야?

 

자네 아버지와 내가
동업한 지가 얼마나 됐지?

 

매우 오래됐죠

 

자네가 자라는 걸
지켜봤지

 

자넨 내게
아들과 마찬가지야

 

괜찮다면 내가

 

우정어린 충고 하나 하지

 

말씀하십시오

 

벤, 내 생각에는...

 

자넨 자신을
지금보다 좀 더

 

풀어줘야 할 것 같아

 

젊어서 즐기라구.
있는 그대로 받아들여

 

여자든 뭐든 화끈하게
즐기는 거야

 

앉아 있어

 

- 내가 지금, 음...
- 벤입니다

 

그래, 벤...

 

젊어서 즐기게. 할 수
있을 때 만끽하라구

 

- 당신도 동의하지?
- 그래요

 

전 가야겠어요

 

이번 여름에는
연애 사건도 좀 만들고

 

- 자넨 인기도 좋을 텐데
- 아니에요

 

뭐라고?

 

여자들이 서로 차지하려고
난리를 칠 것 같은데

 

당신 눈에는
그렇게 안 보여?

 

그렇다 마다요

 

일레인이 버클리에서
토요일에 다니러 올 거야

 

- 그 애에게 전화하지 그래?
- 그렇게 하죠

 

데려다 줘서 고마워

 

곧 다시 만나기를 바래

 

신사 숙녀 여러분,
주목해 주십시오

 

여기 오늘의 깜짝쇼...

 

이봐, 거기!
그래 거기요

 

주목해 주세요

 

준비 됐니, "연예인"?

 

잠시 할 말이 있는데요,
아버지

 

이 아이를 환영하는
큰 박수를 부탁드립니다

 

이런, 실수를 했군!

 

이 "젊은이"를
환영하는 박수를요

 

오늘로써
21살이 되었답니다

 

쇼를 시작합시다!

 

잠깐만요. 먼저 한 말씀
드리겠습니다

 

자넨 항상 그러더라고

 

누구는!

 

잠깐 할 얘기가 있어요,
아버지

 

그들을 더 이상 붙잡아
둘 수가 없어. 나오거라

 

할 얘기가 있다니까요

 

이 아이가, 죄송,
이 젊은이가

 

헬핑햄상 수상자로서
학업을 계속해 나갈 테고

 

하지만
그러기 전에 말이지...

 

왜 그렇게
뜸을 들이는 거냐?

 

- 제 말 좀 들어보세요
- 10초 주마

 

본인이 선사한
짜릿한 생일 선물로

 

그가 여러분께 묘기를
보여 드리겠습니다

 

잘 되지 않으면 200
달러는 그냥 버리는 거죠

 

자, 여기...벤자민...

 

브래독!

 

이 훌륭한 젊은이가 이제

 

6피트 이상의 수심에서

 

여러분께 놀라운 묘기를

 

선 보일 것입니다!

 

여보세요

 

어떻게 말씀 드려야
할 지 모르겠는데...

 

벤자민?

 

- 그때 일을 생각해 봤는데
- 지금 어디 있지?

 

부인께 한 잔 사 드릴까
생각했어요

 

- 어디 있냐니까?
- 태프트 호텔이요

 

방을 얻었니?

 

- 시간이 늦은 건 알지만...
- 1시간만 기다려

 

- 뭐라고요?
- 1시간 뒤에 갈 거라고

 

파티장 안입니다

 

도와 드릴까요?

 

그거 하러 오셨나요?

 

- 뭐요?
- 싱글맨 파티 말입니다

 

그래요. 총각 파티!

 

파티장 안입니다

 

- 포터씨로군요
- 아닌데요

 

제 언니를 소개시켜
드리죠. 드위트양

 

반갑습니다

 

제 남편인 싱글맨씨에요

 

제프리에요

 

- 이름을 모르겠소만
- 벤자민 브래독입니다

 

- 그런데 저는...
- 테이블을 찾아 드리지

 

브래니프 아니에요? 손님
중에 브래니프가 있는데

 

전 단지
친구를 찾고 있는데요

 

- 무슨 소린지?
- 초대 받지 않았어요

 

무슨 소린지 모르겠군

 

만나서 반가웠어요,
브래니프씨

 

안녕, 벤자민

 

- 앉아도 될까?
- 물론이죠

 

- 어떻게 지내?
- 잘 지냅니다

 

- 한 잔 할 수 있을까?
- 그럼요

 

- 그가 날 못 봤군요
- 여기요!

 

마티니 한 잔 줘요

 

그렇게 긴장할 것 없어

 

긴장 안 할 수가 없지요.
이럴 때에...

 

- 잡았어?
- 뭐라고요?

 

- 우리가 묵을 방 잡았냐고?
- 아니오

 

- 할 맘 없어?
- 글쎄, 별로...

 

그래요. 하지만 대화만
할 수도 있지 않겠어요?

 

내가 할까?

 

아니오, 제가 하죠

 

- 지금 할 거야?
- 지금이요?

 

글쎄, 모르겠어요

 

- 왜지?
- 왜냐구요?

 

갔다 오지요.
실례하겠어요

 

방 하나 부탁합니다

 

- 싱글이요, 더블이요?
- 싱글. 저만 쓸 거예요

 

숙박부에 서명하시죠

 

문제가 있습니까?

 

짐이 있습니까,
글래드스톤씨?

 

짐이요? 물론 있지요

 

- 어디 있습니까?
- 뭐요?

 

손님 짐이요

 

내 차 안에요

 

그걸 가져 오게 하지요

 

공연히 그런 수고를
할 필요 없어요

 

칫솔 밖에 없으니까

 

내가 알아서 하죠

 

알겠습니다.
그럼 방을 보여 드리지요

 

내가 알아서
찾도록 하겠어요

 

칫솔 하나 밖에 없으니까

 

혼자서 할 수 있어요

 

그렇게 하시지요

 

로빈슨 부인?

 

전화 왔습니다

 

로빈슨 부인?

 

벤자민이에요

 

벤자민 브래독

 

어디에 있는 거야?

 

뒤쪽으로 돌아 보세요

 

- 제가 보이세요?
- 그래

 

- 싱글 룸을 잡았어요
- 좋아

 

하지만 프론트의 직원이
의심하는 것 같아요

 

난 이럴 때 어찌 해야
할 지 모르고...

 

- 혼자 올라가고 싶어?
- 그게 좋을 것 같아요

 

5분 뒤에 갈게

 

그럼 그 때 봐요

 

- 뭐 할 말 없니?
- 할 말요?

 

부인께 얼마나
감사해 하는 지...

 

번호

 

방 번호 말이야.
그걸 내게 말 해 줘야지

 

당연하죠

 

- 568번이에요
- 고마워

 

천만에요

 

이따가 뵈요,
로빈슨 부인

 

계산서 주세요

 

가져 왔어요

 

- 됐다구요
- 뭐라고요?

 

- 칫솔을 가져왔다고요
- 알겠습니다

 

안녕히 주무세요

 

- 이제 난 옷 벗을 거야
- 그래요

 

난 여기 이렇게
서 있어야 하나요?

 

내가 뭘 했으면 좋겠어요?

 

- 날 바라본다면?
- 좋아요. 고마워요

 

- 옷걸이를 가져다 주겠어?
- 뭐라고요?

 

옷걸이 말이야

 

- 나무로 된 거요?
- 뭐?

 

나무로,
아니면 철사로 된 것?

 

상관 없어

 

- 도와 주겠어?
- 물론이죠

 

- 고마워
- 천만에요

 

불을 끄면 좀 더 쉽겠어?

 

- 못 하겠어요
- 뭘 말이야?

 

이건 옳지 못한 짓이에요

 

- 날 매력 없다고 생각해?
- 아니오!

 

부인은 제 부모님 친구들
중 제일 멋진 분이에요

 

정말로 당신을
매력적이라 생각하지만

 

제 부모님을
생각해 보셨어요?

 

- 그들이 뭐라고 하겠어요?
- 뭐라고 할 것 같아?

 

모르겠어요.
그렇지만 그 분들은

 

제게 많은 걸
베풀어 주셨어요

 

그 분들께 이런 짓을
할 수는 없어요

 

내가 그들 동업자의
아내와 한 침대에 있다니!

 

- 내가 겁이 나?
- 요점을 이해 못 하셨군요

 

다른 일을 함께 할 수도
있을 거예요

 

영화를 보러 가는 건
어때요?

 

- 물어 볼 게 있어
- 말씀해 보세요

 

- 이게 처음이야?
- 이게... 뭐라고요?

 

그렇지?
이번이 처음인 거야

 

정말 우습군요,
로빈슨 부인! 우스워요!

 

솔직히 말해

 

- 농담이지요?
- 부끄러워 할 것 없어

 

- 잠깐만요
- 처음이라...

 

누가 제가 이번이
처음이라고 그래요?

 

- 못 할까봐 걱정하면서...
- 못 한다고!

 

- 안 됐지만...
- 그대로 있어요!

 

뭐 하는 거냐?

 

그냥... 물 위에
떠 있는 중이에요

 

왜?

 

이렇게 떠 있으니까
편안하잖아요

 

대학원 진학에 대해
생각해 봤니?

 

4년 간의 대학 공부가
무엇을 위해서 였지?

 

힘들게 공부했던 게 말야

 

아버지가 옳아요

 

들어 봐라, 벤

 

뛰어나게 공부를 잘 한
젊은이가

 

잠시 휴식을 취하며

 

즐기는 것도 좋은 일이야

 

여자들과 어울리거나
술도 마시며...

 

하지만 몇 주가 지나면

 

심각하게 자신의 일에
대해 생각하며

 

바보 짓을 관두는 게
정상인 거야!

 

로빈슨 부부가 왔어요

 

요새 어떻게 지내나?

 

별로 할 일 없이

 

한가하게 지내고 있죠

 

할 수 있다면 나도
그렇게 지내고 싶다니까

 

일레인이 버클리 대학에서
곧 다니러 온다네

 

- 꼭 전화하라고
- 그럴게요

 

둘이 정말로
잘 어울릴 거야

 

로빈슨 부인께
인사드리거라

 

- 이야기 좀 할 수 있겠니?
- 물론이죠

 

뭐 하나만 물어 보자

 

대답하고 싶지 않다면
말하지 않아도 돼

 

뭔데요?

 

밤에 나가서
뭘 하는 거니?

 

밤에 나가서요?

 

내키지 않으면
대답 안 해도 돼

 

아니에요, 말씀 드리죠

 

드라이브하고 다녀요

 

- 그리고?
- 그게 다에요

 

밤새도록 운전하고
다니지는 않을 거 아냐

 

뭘 하는 거지?
누구를 만나는 거니?

 

누구를 만나다니,
왜 그런 말씀을 하세요?

 

그거야 네 생활이다만...
핑계대지 말자꾸나

 

만나는 사람 없어요!
왜 그러시는 거예요?

 

네 일에
간섭하고 싶지는 않아

 

하지만 거짓말하는 건
그만뒀으면 좋겠구나

 

- 잘 자거라
- 잠깐만요

 

기다리세요!

 

잠깐만요

 

로빈슨 부인,
이번에는 얘기부터 좀

 

할 수 있을까요?

 

우리끼리 할 이야기가
뭐가 있겠어

 

몇 달 동안 침대에서
뒹굴기만 했잖아요

 

- 싫증났어?
- 아니에요!

 

변화를 위해서 대화를
하는 것도 좋잖아요?

 

무슨 얘기를
하고 싶은데?

 

아무 거나요

 

대학 때의 경험담에
대해 얘기하고 싶어?

 

다른 얘기를 좀 하자구요!

 

미술에 대해서는 어때?

 

좋은 주제로군요.
먼저 말해 보세요

 

자기가 먼저 해 봐.
난 아는 게 없어

 

뭘 알고 싶어요?

 

현대와 고전 미술 중
어느 것에 관심이 있어요?

 

- 아무 것도
- 미술을 싫어해요?

 

- 그러면 왜 말을 꺼냈어요?
- 내가 안 그랫는데

 

우리는 대화를
하는 거예요

 

오늘 뭘 했는지
말해 봐요

 

잠자리에서 일어나서

 

- 남편 식사를 준비하고
- 그렇죠!

 

할 얘기가 있네요.
바깥 양반이요!

 

아, 그이

 

그 밖에 다른 것들이요

 

어떻게 하는 거죠?

 

나갈 때는 남편에게
무슨 핑계를 대는 거예요?

 

- 아무 것도. 그는 자거든
- 항상?

 

집에 들어가면
깨어 있지 않아요?

 

우리는 각방을 쓰거든

 

알겠어요.
그러니까 당신들은

 

캐물으려는 건 아니지만,
같이 자는 게 아니로군요?

 

그래

 

- 오래됐어요?
- 제발 좀...

 

그런데
왜 그와 결혼했죠?

 

맞춰 봐

 

모르겠어요

 

잘 생각해 보라니까

 

모르겠는데.
아니면

 

그와 결혼해야만 했던
사정이 있었나요?

 

일레인에게 얘기하지마

 

임신을 했기 때문에
결혼한 건 가요?

 

충격 받았어?

 

부인과 로빈슨씨를
그런 식으로...

 

이젠 됐어!
그거나 하자구!

 

잠깐만 기다려요!

 

그래서 어땠어요?

 

- 뭐가?
- 로빈슨씨랑 말이에요

 

내게 말하고 싶지 않아요?

 

별로

 

당시에 법대생이었죠?

 

부인도 학생이었어요?

 

대학생이요?

 

전공이 뭐였어요?

 

왜 그런 걸 묻는 거야?

 

관심이 있으니까요

 

대학에서
전공이 뭐였어요?

 

미술

 

하지만 아까...

 

세월이 흐르면서
흥미를 잃었나 보죠?

 

그런 거지

 

어땠었어요?

 

- 뭐가?
- 로빈슨씨랑요

 

맞춰 봐

 

그의 방으로 불러
들였나요? 호텔에서?

 

그게 무슨 상관이야

 

궁금해서요

 

그의 차 안에서 였어

 

- 차에서 그걸 했어요?
- 우리만 그런 것도 아닌데

 

- 무슨 차였어요?
- 뭐라고?

 

메이커가 뭐였냐구요?

 

- 맙소사!
- 정말 알고 싶어요

 

포드였어

 

포드!

 

포드! 끝내주는군!

 

그만 됐어!

 

일레인 로빈슨의
첫 시작이 포드였었군!

 

그 애에 대해
얘기하지 말아

 

일레인에 대해
얘기하는 게 싫어요?

 

왜죠?

 

네가 그러는 게 싫으니까

 

왜 안 되죠?

 

얘기 좀 해 줘요

 

더 얘기할 게 없어

 

왜 갑자기 그녀가 금지된
주제로 등장하는 거죠?

 

언제 그녀와 만나서
그에 대해 알아 봐야겠군

 

그 애와 데이트할 생각은
하지도 마! 알겠어?

 

그럴 생각은 없었어요

 

좋아

 

농담이었다구요

 

잘 됐군

 

하지만 왜
그래선 안 되죠?

 

- 내 나름의 이유가 있어
- 얘기해 봐요

 

내가 얘기할까요?
이유를 알 것 같으니까요

 

내가 그녀에게
걸맞지 않으니까

 

그녀에 대해 말할 자격도
없다는 거 아닌가요?

 

- 그만
- 그만두지 못하겠어요

 

당신에게는 걸맞지만
당신 딸에게는 아니다?

 

내 말이 맞는 건가요?

 

그래!

 

지옥에나 가시지,
로빈슨 부인!

 

내가 이걸 떳떳하게
생각할 것 같아요?

 

- 모르겠어
- 아니라구요!

 

알콜 중독자랑 시간을
보내는 게 부끄럽다구요

 

알겠어

 

난 따분해서
여기 올 뿐이에요

 

이건 내가 한 일 중 가장
저질스러운 일이라구요

 

하고 싶은 대로 하세요.
난 갈 테니까

 

- 정말로?
- 그래요

 

너에게는 내가
저질스럽고 역겹다?

 

- 그만 두시죠
- 뭘?

 

상처 받은 척
하지 말라구요

 

난 상처 받지
않을 것 같아?

 

내가 당신 딸에게
어울리지 않는다 해 놓고

 

내가 그랬다고?

 

그랫다니까요

 

그런 인상을 주었다면
미안해

 

좀 전에 분명히
그런 말을 해 놓고

 

"그런 인상을 주었다"니요?

 

그런 뜻이 아니었어

 

너희 둘은 서로 맞지
않을 거라는 거지

 

자기가 그 애에게 어울릴
자격이 없다는 게 아냐

 

정말이에요?

 

그렇고 말고

 

뭘 하는 거예요?

 

자기가 더 이상 날
원하지 않는 게 뻔하잖아

 

난 기분이 좀
상했을 뿐이었어요

 

- 그런 말을 해서 죄송해요
- 괜찮아

 

왜 나를 역겹게 여기는지
이해할 수 있어

 

그런 게 아니에요

 

당신을 좋아하지 않았다면
여기 오지 않았을 거예요

 

- 이게 역겹지 않다는 거야?
- 그래요

 

항상 기다려지는 걸요.
내 유일한 기쁨이야

 

- 그런 말 할 필요 없어
- 알아요

 

사실이니까 말하는 거예요

 

그럼 있어도 되겠어?

 

- 그렇게 해 주세요
- 고마워

 

그런 말씀 마세요. 제가
그러길 바라는 거니까

 

일레인과 데이트하지
않을 거지?

 

약속해 줘

 

왜 그런 말을 하는 거죠?
그럴 생각도 없었는데

 

그럼 그러지 않겠다고
약속해 줘

 

말도 안 돼!

 

약속해 달라니까

 

좋아요. 약속하죠!

 

엘레인과 만나지 않겠다고
약속한다니까요!

 

그만 두자구요

 

아무 말도 말고요

 

일레인이
학교에서 돌아왔단다

 

그녀에게 만나자고
해 보는 게 좋겠다

 

네 눈에 안 차는 거냐?

 

우린 잘 어울리지
않을 거예요

 

고등학교 이후에는 보지도
못 했으면서 어떻게 알아?

 

뭘 하는 지는 모르겠다만
네 밤 외출이

 

그렇게 대단한 거냐?

 

그거랑은 전혀 관계없어요

 

로빈슨에게 네가 밤마다
너무 바쁘다고 해야겠구나

 

도대체 뭘 하는 건지는
모르겠지만!

 

그런 식으로
강요하지 말아요

 

- 벤이 원하지 않겠다면
- 만나지 않겠어요

 

그러면 목요일에

 

로빈슨네 가족 모두를
초청해야 겠구나

 

제 시간에 맞춰 왔군

 

""질문입니다

 

""당신 아내의
가장 이상한 습관은?"

 

들어 오게

 

아가씨께서는
아직 준비가 안 됐다네

 

뭘 마시겠나?

 

- 스카치를 좋아했었지?
- 버번으로 주세요

 

""다리 털을 깎지 않아요""

 

그 애가 준비됐는지
보고 오겠네

 

제 아버지의 생각이었어요.
하도 우겨서 말이죠

 

내가 분명히 말했을 텐데

 

나가서 저녁 먹고, 한 잔
한 다음 바로 들어올게요

 

이러지 않았다면 모두
모이게 했을 거라구요

 

그건 정말
참을 수 없었을 거예요

 

당신의 소중한 딸을
다시 만날 생각은 없으니

 

- 너무 신경 쓰지 마세요
- 하지만 신경이 쓰이는 걸

 

그 때문에
정말로 기분이 언짢아

 

조심하거라, 얘야

 

벤이 대학에서 배운
술수를 쓸 지도 모르니까

 

부모님과 함께 살아요?

 

뭘 할 건지
계획이 있나요?

 

대학원에 진학할
생각이에요?

 

항상 이런 식으로
운전을 해요?

 

앉아요

 

쇼를 보자구

 

내가 뭐
거슬리는 짓을 했나요?

 

아니.
왜 그렇게 생각해요?

 

모르겠어요

 

멋진 장면을 놓치고 있군

 

맘에 안 들어요?

 

저걸 할 수 있겠어?

 

일레인, 미안해!

 

집에 데려다 주겠어요?

 

거기에 데려가는 게
아니었어

 

집으로 돌아가는 게
좋겠어요

 

- 차가 어디 있죠?
- 할 말이 있어

 

- 돌아 가겠어요
- 내 얘기부터 듣지

 

당신을 초대한 건
부모님의 생각이었어

 

알려줘서 고맙군요

 

그래서 내가 그런 식으로
함부로 굴었던 거야

 

난 원래 그렇지 않은데.
스스로가 혐오스럽군

 

- 울지 말아
- 멈추질 못하겠어요

 

그치려고 해 봐

 

졸업한 뒤로
계속 이런 기분이었어

 

본의 아니게 무례하게
행동하고 말이지. 알겠어?

 

그래요, 알아요

 

바보 같은 규칙에 따라서
게임을 하는 것 같아

 

사기꾼들에 의해
만들어진 규칙에 따라

 

아니, 마치 혼자 생긴 것
같은 멍청한 규칙 말야

 

볼륨을 좀 줄여 주겠어?

 

들어 올래요?

 

커피 만들어 줄게요

 

아냐, 당신 부모님을
깨우고 싶지 않아

 

걱정 말고, 들어 와요

 

- 잠깐만
- 뭐 잘 못 됐어요?

 

아직 이른 것 같은데...

 

어디 다른 데 갈까?

 

어디로 가려구요?

 

이 근처에서 한 잔
할 수 있는 곳으로

 

태프트 호텔이 있잖아요?

 

무슨 일이에요?

 

아무 것도. 그 호텔에
바가 있는지 모르겠군

 

가 보자구

 

바가 있는지 없는지

 

아무래도 여긴 바가
없는 것 같아

 

있네요.
저기에요

 

안녕하십니까,
글래드스톤씨?

 

잘 지내셨어요,
글래드스톤씨?

 

다른 곳으로 갑시다

 

- 여기에서 자기를 알아요?
- 물론 아니지!

 

여기서 나가자구

 

어떻게 지내십니까?

 

- 무슨 일이에요?
- 다른 사람으로 착각하나봐

 

안녕하세요, 브래니프씨

 

일레인,
당신이 정말 맘에 들어

 

내 말 믿는 거야?

 

- 믿지?
- 네

 

당신을 만난 건

 

내게 처음으로 일어난
정말로 좋은 일이야

 

함께 있는 게 싫지 않은
최초의 사람이고

 

내 인생을
그렇게 낭비했다니

 

공허한 인생이었던 거야

 

미안,
집으로 데려다 주지

 

누구를 만나고 있나요?

 

미안해요

 

내가 상관할 바가 아닌데

 

그냥 어쩌다가
일이 그렇게 됐어

 

다른 일과 마찬가지로
그냥 그렇게

 

이해하겠어?

 

결혼한 여자인가요?

 

- 가족이 있겠군요
- 남편과 아들이 하나 있지

 

그들도 알고 있고요?

 

이젠 끝난 건가요?

 

잘 됐군요

 

내일 다시
만날 수 있을까?

 

좋아요

 

낮에 만날까?
드라이브도 하고 말야

 

정말 그러고 싶은 거야?

 

- 당신이 내키지 않는다면
- 만나고 싶어요

 

정말로?

 

진심이에요!

 

출발해

 

일레인과 데이트 약속을
했어요. 드라이브 가기로

 

내가 시키는 대로
하라구!

 

- 내 생각에는...
- 내 말 잘 들어

 

그 앨 다시는 만나지 마.
명령이야. 알겠어?

 

- 당신은 그렇게...
- 곤경에 빠뜨릴 수도 있지

 

어떻게요?

 

너희들을 떼어놓기 위해서
그 애에게 다 말 할거야

 

믿을 수 없어요

 

내 말을 믿는 게 좋을 걸

 

그렇게 하지 못 할 거야

 

두고 봐

 

- 나 올라가!
- 아직 옷 안 입었어요

 

- 나가자고!
- 무슨 일이에요?

 

빨리! 신발 신어

 

뭐 하는 거예요?

 

- 당신에게 할 말이 있어
- 뭔데요?

 

그 여자, 내가 말했던
그 연상의 여인 말이야

 

- 아, 그 여자!
- 그래, 그 기혼녀

 

- 그냥 아는 여자가 아니야
- 무슨 소리를 하는 거예요?

 

그게 다 무슨 소리인지
말 해보라구요

 

- 여기서 나가요!
- 울지 마

 

나가라니까!

 

안녕, 벤자민

 

다시 말해 봐라

 

일레인 로빈슨과
결혼하겠어요

 

무슨 일이죠?

 

벤이 일레인과
결혼하겠다는군!

 

믿을 수가 없군요!

 

- 그렇게 말했다니까
- 오늘 버클리로 가겠어요

 

정말 멋지구나!

 

로빈슨 댁에 전화를 하지.
축하할 일이 생겼으니!

 

기다리시는 게 좋겠어요

 

- 그들은 모르고 있니?
- 네

 

- 언제 결심한 건데?
- 1시간쯤 전에

 

일레인에겐 오늘 아침에
얘기한 거니?

 

그녀는 아직
모르고 있어요

 

네가 버클리로 가는 걸
모르고 있다고?

 

우리가 결혼할 거라는 걸
아직 모르고 있다고요

 

- 결혼얘기는 언제 한 거냐?
- 한 적 없어요

 

한 적 없다고?

 

네가 하는 얘기가 어째
어설프게 들리는 구나

 

다 잘 생각해 본
일이에요. 결심했다구요

 

그녀가 청혼을
받아들일 것 같니?

 

아니오. 사실 그녀는
절 좋아하지 않아요

 

- 학생이오?
- 그건 아닌데...

 

내 말은, 아니라구요

 

그럼 뭐요?

 

여행객이라고 해 두죠

 

내 집에 머무는 사람들이
누군지 알아야 해

 

뭘 하는 사람들인지
알아 두어야 한다구

 

별거 안 하는 데요

 

그냥 관광을 하는
중입니다

 

늘 버클리에
와 보고 싶어 했거든요

 

선동가는 아니겠지?

 

운동권 말이야

 

그런 녀석들은 내 집에
받아들일 수 없어

 

그 놈들에게 난 반대야

 

기막힌 우연이로군 그래!

 

어디 가는 거야?

 

약속이 있어요

 

어디서?

 

- 어디서 그 사람을 만나지?
- 동물원에서요

 

여기에 멋진 동물원이
있는 것 같던데?

 

가 본 적 없어서 몰라요

 

나도 마찬가지야

 

따라가도 될까?

 

저 사람이야?

 

- 약속 장소가 어디지?
- 원숭이 우리 옆이요

 

대체 여기서
뭘 하고 있는 거죠?

 

버클리에서?

 

카터 가에 멋진 방을
얻어서, 수업도 듣고...

 

등록 안 했잖아요

 

청강생이지.
다들 봐 주니까

 

무척 관대하더라구

 

벤자민, 당신은...
어떻게 말해야 할 지

 

만나서 천천히
이야기를 나누면 되지

 

정말이지 어이가 없군요

 

왔군

 

저 남자인 것 같은데

 

괜찮은 사람같이
보이는군

 

내가 늦었나요?

 

원숭이 우리 옆에서
만나기로 한 걸로 아는데

 

벤자민 브래독.
이쪽은 칼 스미스

 

벤자민이 버스로
여기까지 바래다 줬어요

 

- 만나서 반갑습니다, 벤
- 반가워요, 칼

 

누구세요?

 

뭐 하나만 물어 보고
가겠어요

 

- 앉아
- 됐어요

 

- 왜 버클리에 왔죠?
- 그냥 온 거야

 

날 보러 왔나요?

 

- 당신 생각에는?
- 내 생각에는

 

그런 것 같아요!

 

좋아. 당신이 맞아

 

- 떠나세요
- 당신을 사랑해!

 

어떻게 그런 말을
할 수가 있죠?

 

어떻게 내 어머니를
강간할 수 있었냐구요?

 

- 뭐라고?
- 기가 막혀서!

 

- "강간"이라고 했나?
- 이해할 수가 없어

 

- 그녀가 뭐라고 한 거지?
- 왜 묻죠?

 

사실이 아니니까

 

말해 봐

 

그녀가 호텔에서 친구와
한 잔하고 있었는데

 

당신이 기다리고 있다가
말하기를

 

술에 취했으니, 호텔에서
머무르는 게 좋겠다고

 

- 그리고 나서?
- 그녀를 겁탈했다고 했어요

 

사실과 전혀 달라!

 

내 집에서 파티가 끝나고,
내가 그녀를 집으로...

 

듣고 싶지 않아요!

 

초상화를 보여준다며
이층으로 날 데려가

 

방에 들어가더니
옷을 벗기 시작하며

 

갑자기 전라로
내 앞에 서 있더군

 

- 누가 소리질렀지?
- 아무 것도 아니에요

 

내 집에서 그렇게
소리지르면 안 돼

 

손님이 왔을 뿐이에요.
아무 일 없어요

 

그녀에게 뭘 한 거지?

 

놀래서 소리를 지른 것
뿐이라고요. 괜찮아요

 

경찰을 부를까요?

 

이 봐, 진정하라구.
내 말 들어 봐

 

그녀는 여기서 물을
좀 마시고 있을 뿐인데

 

경찰은 필요없어

 

방으로 돌아들 가라구

 

소동은 끝났다니까

 

- 알겠나, 브래독?
- 네

 

- 나가 줘야겠어
- 뭐라고요

 

- 방을 비우라고
- 왜요?

 

네가 맘에 안 드니까

 

소리를 질러서 미안해요

 

무엇을 바라고
여기에 온 거죠?

 

지금 당장은
얘기할 상황이 아니야

 

미안하지만
지금은 짐을 싸야만 해

 

짐 싸는 동안
여기 앉아 있어도 되요?

 

원한다면

 

이제 어떻게 할 거죠?

 

모르겠어

 

집으로 돌아갈 건가요?

 

그럼 어디로 갈 거예요?

 

그런 질문은
이제 그만 둬

 

내일 떠나지 말아요

 

무슨 소리야?

 

확실한 계획이
서기 전까지

 

떠나지 말아 달라구요

 

뭐야?

 

키스 해 주겠어요?

 

나와 결혼해 주겠어?

 

싫은 거야?

 

모르겠어요

 

고려해 볼 수는 있지?

 

아마도

 

어쩌면 나랑
결혼해 줄 거야?

 

언제?

 

모르겠어요

 

내일은 어때?
몰아 세우고 싶진 않지만...

 

정말 모르겠군요

 

무슨 일이 벌어지고
있는 건지 모르겠어요

 

갑자기 어리둥절한 거야?

 

그럴 것 없어

 

우린 결혼하는 거야

 

어렵게만 보이는데요

 

전혀 그렇지 않아

 

난 가야겠어요

 

내 말을 진지하게
받아 들이는 거야?

 

생각해 볼 게요

 

정말로?

 

믿을 수 없어!

 

내일 건강 진단을
받을 수 있을 거야

 

아니면 오늘 오후라도

 

아직 결혼하겠다고
승낙하지도 않았는데

 

출생증명서가 있어야 해.
내 것은 가지고 있고

 

당신 것은 어디 있지?

 

- 잘 되지 않을 거예요
- 왜 안 되지?

 

- 왜 안 되냐고?
- 잘 될 것 같지 않아요

 

내일 아침
건강 진단을 받으러 가지

 

그렇게 결혼하고 싶다면
날 끌고 가지 그래요?

 

끌고 가라구?
좋아, 그러지

 

건강 진단이
끝나자마자 말이야

 

먼저 칼을 만나야 해요

 

칼 누구?

 

누굴 말하는 거야?

 

칼 스미스. 의대생이에요.
오래 전부터 알았죠

 

동물원의 그 남자?

 

- 뭣 때문에?
- 그와 결혼하려고 했으니까

 

뭐라고?

 

그가 어떻게 한 거지?
무릎이라도 꿇었나?

 

그러지 않았기를 바래

 

그가 뭐하고 말했지?
궁금하군

 

우리가 좋은 팀을
이룰 거라고 했어요

 

그런 말을 했단 말야?

 

어디서 한 거지?

 

어디서 일이 벌어졌는지
알고 싶어

 

차 안에서는 아니겠지?

 

잘 가요

 

내일 결혼하는 거지?

 

모레는 어때?

 

그럴지도 모르고
안 그럴지도 모르죠

 

대체 왜 그랬는지
말해 주겠나?

 

내게 무슨
유감이 있었나?

 

나한테 무슨
원한을 품었었냐고

 

아니면 내가 무슨
말실수라도 했어?

 

자네와는 상반되는
가치관을 가졌기 때문에?

 

아저씨와는 상관 없는
일이었어요

 

나하고 직접
상관이 있는 일이지

 

아저씨, 제발...

 

우리는 문명인들이라고
생각했는데

 

- 왜 위협을 하는 거지?
- 위협한 적 없습니다

 

그러면 주먹부터 내리게

 

어둠 속에서도
다 보이니까 말야!

 

아저씨에게 개인적으로
감정이 없어요

 

원한이 있는 것도
아니구요

 

날 그리 존경하는 것도
아닐 테고

 

- 그래요
- 뭐라고?

 

내게 소리지르지 말게

 

아직 귀 안 먹었으니까

 

내 말 끝까지
들어 보겠나?

 

자네가 의식하고 그렇게
행동한 것 같지는 않아

 

아내와 나는
곧 이혼할 걸세

 

왜요?

 

내 말 들어 보세요

 

로빈슨 부인과 저 사이의
일은 아무 의미도 없어요

 

아무 것도 아니에요

 

악수 한 번 한 거나
마찬가지죠

 

아내에게는 별로 듣기
좋은 말이 아니구만

 

- 이해를 잘 못하셨나 본데
- 이해했다니까!

 

당신의 아내가 아니라
따님을 사랑합니다

 

내 말 잘 들으라고

 

널 법정으로
끌고 갈 수도 있어

 

내 딸을 또 넘본다면
그렇게 하고 말거야

 

넌 일레인의 마음을
결코 못 얻어

 

가까이 다가오지마!

 

분명히 말해 두지만

 

일레인을 네 추잡한
마음에서 지워 버려

 

잘 알아 들었겠지?

 

그게 다야

 

악수를 청하지 않는 걸
용서하게나

 

넌 더러운 놈이야!

 

쓰레기 같은 놈이라고!

 

변태 같으니!

 

잔돈 있으세요?
전화를 해야 하는데

 

여기서 나가라구!

 

10달러 드릴테니
동전 좀 주세요

 

20달러 드릴게요

 

젠장,
전화 좀 걸자니까요!

 

경찰을 부르겠어

 

전화부터
걸 수 있을까요?

 

여기서 나가라니까!

 

일레인 로빈슨은
학교를 떠났는데요

 

룸메이트가 댁에게 전할
전갈을 갖고 올 거에요

 

"친애하는 벤자민,
용서를 바랍니다

 

"이게 당신에게도
가장 좋은 길이에요

 

"아빠는 너무 충격을
받았어요. 이해하세요

 

"당신을 사랑하지만
이루어 질 수 없어요"

 

- 그녀는 어디 있죠?
- 경찰을 부탁해요

 

- 일레인 어디 있냐니까!
- 잠깐만 기다려

 

글렌뷰 로드 1200번지에
순찰차를 보내 주시겠어요?

 

도둑이 들었어요

 

잠깐만요...
무기 갖고 있어?

 

아닌 것 같은데요

 

- 그녀에게 무슨 짓을 했죠?
- 모든 게 분명해졌을 텐데

 

가기 전에 한 잔 할래?

 

당신은 날 막을 수 없어.
그녀를 찾고 말겠어요

 

널 결혼식에 초대할 수
없어서 유감이야

 

너무 촉박하게
준비하느라 말이야

 

그녀를 어떻게
한 거예요!

 

한 잔 하기에는 늦었군

 

- 그녀를 찾고 말겠어
못찾을 걸
-

 

이봐요!

 

칼 스미스가
어디 있는지 알아요?

 

아까 밤에 떠났어요,
결혼식을 올리러

 

강제 결혼의
냄새가 난단 말야

 

어디서 결혼하는지 아나?
나도 가기로 되 있는데

 

카터에게 물어보지

 

카터,
어디서 결혼식을 한대?

 

- 그 허풍쟁이 말야
- 산타 바바라에서

 

정확히 어디요?
나도 가야 되는데

 

산타 바바라 어디래?

 

걔네 아버지네
집이겠지 뭐

 

아니면
산부인과 병실이거나

 

결혼식에 갈 건가?

 

내 걸로 하나
챙겨두라고 해 줘

 

웨딩 케잌 말이야

 

전화 써도 되요?

 

657-2036입니다

 

- 여보세요. 누구십니까?

어디 계신지
알아야 하겠는데

 

아드님 결혼식에
가셨는데요

 

지금쯤 끝났을 테니
곧 돌아오실 거예요

 

난 스미스 박사의 동생

어떤 교회인지 잊어버려서

앨런 스트리트가 어디죠?

 

6번째 골목에서 꺾어져서
3번째 길이요

 

가스를 넣어 드릴까요,
목사님?

이 미친 놈아!

Ladies and gentlemen, we are about to
begin our descent into Los Angeles.

 

The sound you have just heard is
landing gear locking into place.

 

The Los Angeles weather is clear,
temperature 72.

 

We expect to make our four hours
eighteen minutes flight on schedule.

 

We enjoyed having you on board and look
forward to see you again in the near future.

 

Attention, please! Passengers in this
area is limited to 3 minutes on leave.

 

Please do not leave your cart unattended.

 

Hey, What's the matter?

 

The guests are all downstairs, Ben.
They're all waiting to see you.

 

Look, Dad, Could you explain to them
that I have to be alone for a while?

 

These are all our good friends, Ben.

 

Most of them have known you since -
well - practically since you were born.

 

What is it, Ben?

 

I'm just -

 

- worried?

 

Well -

 

About what?

 

I guess - about my future.

 

What about it?

 

I don't know. I want it to be -

 

To be what?

 

Different.

 

Is anything wrong?
No, No, we're just on our way downstairs!

 

The Carlsons' are here.

 

They are? Come on.

 

They came all the way from Tarzana.

 

Come on, let's get cracking.

 

It's a wonderful thing to have
so many devoted friends.

 

Hey - there's our award winning scholar.

 

We're all very proud of you, Ben.

 

Thank you, Mrs. Carlson.

 

Is that the new car out there?
The little red Wop job?

 

That's Ben's graduation present.

 

Won't have much trouble picking
them up in that, will you?

 

So?

 

The girls, the chicks, the teeny boppers.

 

I think Ben has gotten beyond the
teeny bopper stage. Haven't you, Ben?

 

Yes, madam.

 

Excuse me. I think I'd just like to
check something on the car for a minute.

 

Here's the track star.
How are you, track star?

 

Just fine, Mr. Loomis.

 

I want to get a drink and then I want
to hear all about that thing you won.
That Hoppermanaward.

 

Helpingham.

 

Helpingham! Right! You wait right here.

 

Ben - we're all so proud of you.
Proud, proud, proud, proud, proud.

 

What are you going to do now?

 

I was going to go upstairs for a minute -

 

No - I meant with your future, Your life.

 

Well - that's a little hard to say -

 

Ben!

 

Excuse me.
Mr. McQuire

 

Ben.

 

Mr. McQuire.

 

Come on with me for a minute.
I want to talk to you.

 

Excuses, John.

 

I just want to say on word to you,
just one word.

 

Yes, sir.

 

Are you listening?
Yes I am.

 

Plastics.

 

Exactly how do you mean?

 

There is a great future in plastics.
Think about it. Will you think about it?

 

Yes, I will.

 

Enough said. That's a deal.

 

Here he is now. Here's Ben.
Excuse me just a minute -

 

Listen everybody, I want you all be quite.

 

I got Ben's college book here. I just want
we enjoy some wonderful things about Ben.

 

Be quiet, Please!

Oh. I guess this isn't the bathroom, is it?

 

It's down the hall.

 

How are you, Benjamin?

 

Fine, thank you, Mrs Robinson.
The bathroom is down at the end of the hall.

 

Such a pleasent room.

 

Look, Mrs. Robinson, I don't mean
to be rude but, I am -

 

Is there an ashtray, thank you?

 

No.

 

Oh - I forgot. The track star doesn't smoke.

 

Is it a girl?

 

Is what a girl?

 

Whatever it is upsetting you.

 

Oh - no. I'm just sort of disturbed
about things. In general.

 

That's right.

 

Well, congratulations!
Thank you!

 

Oh, Benjamin, I want to ask you something.
What?

 

Will you take me home?
What?

 

My husband took the car.
Will you drive me home?

 

Here, you take it.
Do you know how to work a foreign shift?

 

You don't?
No.

 

Let's go.

 

Thank you.
Right.

 

Will you come in, please?
What?

 

I like you to come in till
I get the lights on.

 

What for?

 

Because I don't feel safe
until I get the lights on.

 

Would you mind walking ahead of
me to the sun porch.

 

I feel funny about
coming into a dark house.

 

But it's light there.
Please.

 

What do you drink? Bourbon?

 

Look, Mrs Robinson, I drove you home.
I was glad to do it.

 

But I have some things on my mind.
Can you understand that?

 

Yes.
All right.

 

What do you drink?

 

Benjamin - I'm sorry to be this way, but
I don't want to be left alone in this house.

 

Why not?
Please wait till my husband gets home.

 

When is he coming back?
I don't know.

 

Drink?
No.

 

Are you always this much
afraid of being alone?
Yes.

 

Well, why can't you just lock
the doors and go to bed?

 

I'm very nuerotic.

 

May I ask you a question?

 

What do you think of me?

 

What do you mean?

 

You've known me nearly all of your life.
You must have formed some opinion.

 

Well - I've always thought that
you were a very - nice - person.

 

Did you know I was an alcoholic?

 

What?
Did you know that?

 

Look - I think I should be going.

 

Sit down, Benjamin.

 

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...

 

No.
What?

 

My husband will be back quite late.
He should be gone for several hours.

 

Oh my God.

 

Pardon?
Oh no, Mrs. Robinson, oh no.

 

What's wrong?

 

Mrs. Robinson, you didn't -
I mean you didn't expect -

 

What?

 

I mean - you didn't really think that
I would do something like that.

 

Like what?

 

What do you think?
Well, I don't know.

 

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.

 

So?
Mrs. Robinson, you are
trying to seduce me.

 

Aren't you?

 

Well, no. I hadn't thought of it.
I feel rather flattered -

 

Mrs. Robinson, will you forgive
me for what I just said?

 

It's all right.

 

It's not all right, it's the worst
thing I've ever said to anyone.

 

Sit down.

 

Please forgive me. Because I like you.

 

I don't think of you that way. But I'm mixed up.

 

It's all right. Now finish your drink.

 

Mrs. Robinson, it makes me sick
that I said that to you.

 

Forget it right now. Finish your drink.

 

What is wrong with me?
Have you ever seen Elaine's portrait?

 

Her portrait?
Yes.

 

No.

 

We had it done last Christmas.
Would you like to see it?
Very much.

 

Here is Elaine's room.

 

Elaine certainly is an
attractive girl, isn't she?

 

I don't remember her as having brown eyes.

 

Benjamin?
Yes?

 

Will you come here a minute?
Over there?sure

 

Will you unzip my dress? I think I'll go to bed.
Oh. Well, goodnight.

 

Won't you unzip my dress?
I'd rather not, Mrs. Robinson.

 

If you still think I'm trying to seduce you -
No, I don't. But I just feel a little funny.

 

Benjamin - you've known me all your life.
I know that. But I'm -

 

Come on. It's hard for me to reach.

 

Thank you.
Right.

 

What are you so scared of?
I'm not scared, Mrs. Robinson.

 

Then why do you keep running away?

 

Because you're going to bed.

 

I don't think I should be up here.

 

Haven't you ever seen anybody in a slip before?
Yes, I have. But I just -

 

Look - what if Mr. Robinson walked in right now?
What if he did?

 

Well, it would look pretty funny, wouldn't it?

 

Don't you think he trusts us together?

 

Of course he does.

 

But he might get the wrong idea.
Anyone might.

 

I don't see why.

 

I'm twice as old as you are.
How could anyone think......

 

But they would! Don't you see?

 

Benjamin - I'm not trying to seduce you.

 

I know that. But please, Mrs. Robinson.

 

This is difficult for me.

 

Would you like me to seduce you?
What?

 

Is that what you're trying to tell me?

 

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?
Yes.

 

Will you bring up my purse before you go?
I have to go now. I'm sorry.

 

I really don't want to put this on again.
Won't you bring it up?

 

Where is it?
On the table in the hall.

 

Mrs. Robinson?
I'm in the bathroom.

 

Well here's the purse.

 

Could you bring it up?

 

Well I'll hand it to you. Come to
the railing and I'll hand it up.

 

Benjamin - I am getting pretty
tired of all this suspicion.

 

Now if you won't do me a simple favor,

 

I don't know what.

 

I'm putting it on the top step.

 

For God's sake, Benjamin, will you stop
acting that way and bring me the purse?

 

I'm putting it here by the door.

 

Will you bring it in to me?
I'd rather not.

 

All right. Put it in Elaine's room where we were.
Right.

 

Oh, God!
Let me out!

 

Don't be nervous.
Get away from that door.

 

Let me say something first.
Jesus Christ!

 

Benjamin, I want you to know
I'm available to you.

 

If you want sleep with me this time.

 

Oh my Christ!

 

If you want sleep with me this time

 

I want you to know you can call me up any time
you want and we'll make some kind of arrangement.

 

Do you understand what I said?
Let me out!

 

Benjamin, Do you understand what I said?
Yes. Yes. Let me out!

 

Because I find you very attractive
and any time you want-

 

Oh, Jesus!

 

Is that Ben's car in front?
Yes, Sir!

 

I drove - I drove Mrs. Robinson home.
She wanted me to drive her home so I -
I drove her home.

 

Well. I appreciate it.

 

She's upstairs. She wanted me to
wait down here till you got home.

 

Standing guard over the old castle, are you?
Yes, sir.

 

Congratulations!
Thank you!

 

It looks like you need a refill.
Oh no. I got to go home.

 

Is anything wrong? You look a little shaken up.

 

No. No - I'm just - I'm just a little worried about
my future. I'm a little upset about my future.

 

Come on. Let's have a nightcap together.

 

Scotch?
Bourbon.

 

Ben - how old are you now?

 

20. I'll be 21 next week.

 

That's a hell of a good age to be.

 

Thank you.
Thank you very much!

 

I wish I was that age again. Because, Ben -
Sir?

 

You'll never be young again.
I know.

 

Ben, can I say something to you?
What?

 

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?
Quite a while.

 

I've watched you grow up, Ben.
Yes, sir.

 

In many ways I feel as though
you were my own son.

 

Thank you.

 

So I hope you won't mind my giving
you a friendly piece of advice.

 

I'd like to hear it.

 

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.

 

Don't get up.

 

I was just telling Ben here he ought to sow
a few wild oats. Have a good time while
he can. You think that's sound advice?

 

Yes, I do.

 

I've got to go.

 

You have yourself a few fillings this summer.
I bet you're quite a ladies' man.

 

Oh no.

 

What? You look to me like the kind of guy that
has to fight them off. Doesn't he look to you
like the kind of guy who has to fight them off?

 

Yes, he does.

 

Oh say - Elaine gets down
from Berkeley on Saturday.
Oh yes.

 

I wish you give her a call.
I will.

 

Benjamin? Benjamin?
Yes.

 

Thank you for taking me home.
I'll see you soon, I hope.

 

Ladies and gentlemen, your attention, please
for this afternoon's feature attraction.

 

Hey, over there! Yes, I mean you!
Your attention please!

 

Are you ready in there, feature attraction?
Could I speak to you for a second, Dad?

 

Listen, I'm going to ask a big round of applause
to bring this boy out here, all right?

 

Wait a minute, let me amend that, to bring this young
man out here, because today he is 21 years old.

 

Come on, let's get on with the show!

 

Hang on a minute, I got a few words to say -

 

You always do.
ah, ah! what's talking

 

Dad, could we just talk about this for a second?

 

I can't hold them much longer, Ben.
You better get out here.

 

I'd like to discuss this.

 

This boy - I'm sorry - this young man -
is soon to continue his education

 

as a Frank Halpingham Award Scholar

 

But before he does - before he does -

 

You're disappointing them, Ben.
You're disappointing them.

 

Dad - can you listen -

 

I'll give you ten seconds

 

He is going to give us a practical
demonstration of what I feel safe

 

in saying is a pretty exciting birthday present

 

And it better work or I'm out
over two hundred bucks.

 

Ok, let's herald now for - Benjamin Braddock!

 

Come on, let's herald now!

 

Folks, this remarkable young man is going to
perform for you some spectacular and amazing
feats of daring in water that is over 6 feet deep.

 

is going to perform for you some spectacular

 

and amazing feats of daring in water
that is over 6 feet deep

 

Hello.

 

I don't quite know how to put this -
Benjamin?

 

Look, I was thinking about that time after the party -

 

Where are you?

 

I was wondering if I could
buy you a drink or something.

 

Where are you?

 

Uh - The Taft Hotel.
Did you get a room?

 

No. Now I know it's pretty
late and if you'd rather -
Give me an hour.

 

What?
I'll be there in an hour.

 

Can I help you, sir!

 

What? Oh - no - I'm just -
Are you here for an affair, sir?

 

What?
The Singleman party, sir?

 

Oh - yes. The Singleman party.
It's in the main ballroom.

 

Ahh - thank you.

 

Hello.
Hello.

 

You must be one of the Poets.
No - actually I'm not -

 

I'd like you to know my sister,
Miss DeWitte -

 

How do you do?
How do you do, Miss DeWitte?

 

- and my husband, Mr. Singleman -

 

Oh, sorry.
Fine, thank you.

 

That's Jeffrey, of course.
Of course.

 

I didn't get your name, sir.
Benjamin Braddock, sir.

 

Braddock - Braddock?
Yes, but I'm afraid -

 

I'll find your table in a moment.
Braddock. Not Braniff? We have a Braniff.

 

No - actually I'm just
looking for a friend.

 

Oh, but I don't understand.
I'm not with your party - I'm sorry.

 

Hey - I don't get it.
I've enjoyed meeting you, Mr. Braniff.

 

Hello, Benjamin.
Oh. Hello.

 

May I sit down?
Of course.

 

Thank you.

 

How are you?
Very well. Thank you.

 

May I have a drink?
A drink? Of course.

 

He didn't see me.

 

Waiter! I will have a martini.
Yes, madam.

 

You don't have to be
so nervous, you know.

 

Nervous. Well, I am a bit nervous.

 

I mean it's - it's pretty hard
to be suave when you're -

 

Did you get us a room?
What?

 

Have you gotten us a room yet?
I haven't. No.

 

Do you want to?
Well, I don't. I mean I could or we could just talk.

 

Do you want me to get it?
You? Oh no. No, I'll get it.

 

Do you want to get it now?

 

-Now?
-Yes.

 

Well - I don't know.
Why don't you get it.

 

Why don't I get it? Well, I will then.
If you'll excuse me.

 

Yes sir?

 

A room. I'd like a room, please.

 

Single room or double room?

 

A single. Just for myself, please.

 

Will you sign the register, please?

 

Is anything wrong, sir?
What? No, Nothing.

 

Do you have any luggage, Mister -- Gladstone?

 

Luggage? Yes. Yes. I do.

 

Where is it?
What?

 

Where is your luggage?

 

Well it's in the car. It's out in the car.
Very good, sir. I'll have a porter bring it in.

 

-Oh no. I mean I'd rather not go
to the trouble of bringing it all in.

 

I just have a toothbrush.
I can get it myself. If that's all right.

 

Of course.
I'll have a porter show you the room.

 

Oh. Well actually, I'd just as soon find it myself.

 

I just have the toothbrush to carry up
and I think I can manage it myself.

 

Whatever you say, sir.
Thank you!

 

Mrs. Robinson.
Yes?

 

For you.
Thank you.

 

Hello?

 

Mrs. Robinson?
Yes?

 

It's Benjamin.
Yes?

 

Benjamin Braddock.

 

Benjamin, where are you?

 

Can you look through the glass.

 

Can you see me now?
Yes, I can.

 

I got a single room.
That's fine.

 

But there's one thing. The desk clerk
seemed to be a little bit suspicious.

 

I don't know what their policy is.

 

Well - do you want to go up first?

 

Yes - I think that would be good.

 

I'll be up in five minutes.

 

Well - goodbye then -

 

Benjamin.
Yes?

 

Isn't there something
you want to tell me?

 

To tell you?
Yes.

 

Well, I want you to know how
much I appreciate this, really.

 

The room number.
What?

 

The room number, Benjamin.
I think you ought to tell me that.

 

Oh? You're absolutely right.

 

It's 562.
Thank you.

 

You're welcome. Well - I'll see
you later, Mrs. Robinson.

 

Check, please.

 

I've got it.

 

I say I've got it.
Sir?

 

The toothbrush. I got it all right.
Very good, sir.

 

Yes. Well - goodnight.
Goodnight, sir.

 

Hello, Benjamin.
Hello, Mrs Robinson.

 

Benjamin.
Yes?

 

I'll get undressed now. Is that all right?
Sure.

 

Shall I - I mean shall I just stand here?
I mean - I don't know what you want me to do.

 

Why don't you watch?
Oh, sure. Thank you.

 

Will you bring me a hanger?
What?

 

A hanger.
Oh, yes.

 

Wood?
What?

 

Wood or wire? They have both.

 

Either one will be fine.
Okay.

 

Thank you!

 

Will you help me with this, please?
Certainly.

 

Thank you.
You're welcome.

 

Benjamin, Would this be
easier for you in the dark?

 

Mrs. Robinson - I can't do this.
You what?

 

This is all terribly wrong.

 

Do you find me undesirable?
Oh no, Mrs. Robinson.

 

I think - I think you're the most
attractive of all my parents' friends.

 

I mean that. I found you desirable, but I-

 

For god's sake, can you
imange my parents?

 

Can you imange what they will say if
they just saw we are in this room like now?

 

What will they say?
I have no idea, Mrs. Robinson.

 

But for god's sake.

 

They brought me up, they
made a good life for me.

 

And I think they deserve better than this.

 

I think they deserve a little better than
jumping into bed with their partner's wife.

 

Are you afraid of me?
Oh, no, you are missing the point.

 

Look, maybe we could do something else together.
Mrs. Robinson, would you like to go to a movie.

 

Can I ask you a personal question?
I should do anything you want.

 

Is this your first time?
Is this - what?

 

It is, isn't it?
It is your first time.

 

That's a laugh, Mrs. Robinson.
That's really a laugh. Ha ha.

 

You can admit that, can't you?
Are you kidding?

 

It's nothing to be ashamed of -
Wait a minute!

 

On your first time -
Who said it was my first time.

 

that you're afraid -
Wait a minute.

 

- of bring - inadequate - I mean just because
you happen to be inadequate in one way -

 

INADEQUATE!

 

Don't move.

 

Ben - what are you doing?

 

Well - I would say that I'm just
drifting. - here - in the pool.

 

Why?

 

Well - it's very comfortable -
just to drift here.

 

Have you thought about graduate school?
No.

 

Would you mind telling me then -

 

what were those four years of
college for? What was the point
of all that hard work?

 

You got me.

 

Now listen, Ben.

 

I think it's a very good thing that a young
man - after he's done some very good work -

 

should have a chance to relax and enjoy himself,

 

and lie around, and drink beer and so on.

 

But after a few weeks

 

I believe that person would want to take
some stock in himself and his situation

 

and start to think about
getting off his ass.

 

The Robinson's are here.

 

Hi, Ben. What are you doing
with yourself these days?

 

Oh, not too much. Taking it easy.

 

That's what I'd do if I could.
Nothing wrong with that.

 

Hey, Ben, Elaine's coming
down from Berkeley soon.

 

I want you to call her up this time.
I will.

 

Because I just think you two would
hit it off real well together.

 

Say hello to Mrs. Robinson, Benjamin.

 

Hello, Mrs. Robinson.
Hello, Benjamin.

 

Can I talk to you for a minute?
Sure.

 

Benjamin, Darling.
I'm going to ask you something

 

but you don't have to tell me
if you don't want to.

 

What?

 

Well I'm going to ask you what
you do when you go off at night.

 

When I go off?

 

You don't have to tell me if
you don't want to.

 

No, I do. I want to tell you.

 

I drive around.

 

What else?
Nothing else.

 

Well you don't drive around from midnight
until noon the next day, Benjamin.

 

Oh, no.

 

Then what do you do? Do you meet someone?

 

Meet someone?
Why did you say that?

 

Well this is your business,
I won't play games.

 

No wait. Wait, I don't meet anyone,
Mother. But why did you say that?

 

Benjamin, I don't want to pry
into your affairs,

 

but I'd rather you didn't say
anything at all than be dishonest.

 

Goodnight.
Well, wait.

 

Wait a minute.

 

Will you wait a minute, please?

 

Mrs. Robinson, do you think we could say
a few words to each other first this time?

 

I don't think we have much
to say to each other.

 

Look, for a month, all we ever do is to
come up here and leap into bed together.

 

Are you tired of it?

 

I'm not. No. But do you think
we could liven it up with a
conversation for change?

 

Well what do you want to talk about?

 

Anything. Anything at all.

 

Do you want to tell me about
some of your college experiences?

 

Oh my God.

 

Think of another topic.

 

How about art.

 

Art. That's a good subject.

 

You start it off.

 

You start it off. I don't know
anything about it.

 

What do you want
to know about it.

 

Are you interested more in modern
art or more in classical art.

 

Neither.

 

You're not interested in art?
No.

 

Then why do you want to talk about it?
I don't.

 

Now look, we are going to do this thing.
we are going to have a conversation.

 

Tell me what you did today.

 

I got up.

 

I fixed breakfast for my husband.

 

There!

 

There's something we could have
a conversation about Your husband!

 

Him?

 

I mean everything. I don't know
anything about how you work this.

 

What do you say to him when
you leave the house at night?

 

Nothing. He's asleep.

 

Always? Doesn't he wake up
when you come home?

 

We have seperated bedrooms.

 

So you don't - I mean I don't
like to seem like I'm prying

 

but I guess you don't sleep
together or anything.
No we don't.

 

Well how long has
this been going on.

 

Forgot it.
Wait a minute, Why do you hurry?

 

See if you can guess.

 

Well I can't.

 

Think real hard, Benjamin.

 

I can't see why you did, unless

 

You didn't have to marry
him or anything, did you?

 

Don't tell Elaine.

 

Oh no. You had to marry him
because you got pregnant?

 

Are you shocked?

 

Well I never thought of you and Mr.
Robinson as the kind of people who...

 

Oh, I know. Let's get to bed.

 

Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

 

So how did it happen?

 

What?

 

Mrs. Robinson, I mean do you feel like telling me
what were the circumstances?

 

Not particularly.

 

Was he a law student at the time?

 

And you were a student also.

 

At college.
Yes.

 

What was your major?

 

Benjamin, why are you asking
me all these questions?

 

Because I'm interested, Mrs. Robinson.

 

Now what was your
major subject at college?
Art.

 

Art?

 

But I thought you...

 

I guess you kind of lost interest
in it over the years then.

 

Kind of.

 

Well how did it happen?

 

What?
You and Mr. Robinson.

 

How do you think.

 

I mean did he take you
up to his room with him?

 

Did you go to a hotel?

 

Benjamin, what does
it possibly matter?

 

I'm curious.

 

We'd go to his car.

 

Oh no. In the car you did it?

 

I don't think we were the first.

 

What kind of car was it?
What?

 

Do you remember the
make of the car?

 

Oh my God.
Really. I want to know.

 

It was a Ford, Benjamin.

 

A Ford! A Ford! God damn it,
That's great! a Ford!

 

That's enough.

 

So old Elaine Robinson
got started in a Ford.

 

Don't talk about Elaine.

 

Don't talk about Elaine?

 

No.
Why not?

 

Because I don't want you to.

 

Why don't you?

 

I wish you'd tell me.

 

There's nothing to tell.

 

Well why is she a big taboo
subject all of a sudden?

 

Well - I guess I'll have to ask her out on a date
and find out what the problem is.

 

Benjamin, don't you ever take that
girl out. Do you understand that?

 

Well look. I have no
intention of taking her out.

 

Good.

 

I was just kidding around.

 

But why shouldn't I?

 

I have my reasons.
Then let's hear them.

 

No.
Let's hear your reasons, Mrs. Robinson.

 

Because I think I know what they are.

 

I'm not good enough for her
to associate with, am I?

 

I'm not good enough to
even talk about her, am I?

 

Let's drop it.
We're not dropping it.

 

I'm good enough for you but I'm too
slimy to associate with your daughter.

 

That's it, isn't it? ISN'T IT?

 

Yes
You go to hell. You go straight
to hell, Mrs. Robinson.

 

Do you think I'm proud of myself?
Do you think I'm proud of this?

 

I wouldn't know.
Well, I'm not.

 

No sir. I am not proud that I spend my time
with a brokendown alcoholic!

 

I see.

 

And if you think I come here for
any reason besides pure boredom,

 

then you're all wrong.

 

Because, Mrs. Robinson, this is the sickest,
most perverted thing that ever happened to me.

 

And you do what you want
but I'm getting the hell out.

 

Are you?
You're goddamn right I am.

 

That's how you feel about me.
That I'm a sick and disgusting person.

 

I won't start this.

 

What?
Don't start acting hurt.

 

Don't you expect me
to be a little hurt?

 

Mrs. Robinson, you lie here and tell me
I'm not good enough for your daughter.

 

Did I say that?

 

In some other words.

 

Benjamin, I want to apologize to you
if that's the impression you got.

 

Well two minutes ago you told me
I wasn't good enough for your daughter.

 

Now you say you're sorry
I got that impression.

 

I didn't mean it. I don't think
you'd be right for each other.

 

But I would never say you weren't
as good a person as she is.

 

You wouldn't.
Of course I wouldn't.

 

What are you doing?

 

Well it's pretty obvious you
don't want me around any more.

 

Well look -
I was kind of upset there.

 

I'm sorry I said those things.

 

That's all right. I think I can
understand why I'm disgusting to you.

 

Oh no. Look, I like you.
I wouldn't keep coming here if I didn't like you.

 

But if it's sickening for you -
It's not!

 

I enjoy it! I look forward to it. It's the
one thing I have to look forward to.

 

You don't have to say that.

 

Well I wouldn't. I would
never say it if it wasn't true.

 

May I stay then?

 

Yes. Please. I want you to.

 

Thank you.

 

Well don't thank me,
because I want you to.

 

But you won't ever take out Elaine, will you?
I want you to promise me with that.

 

Look. Why the hell did you bring this up.
It never occured to me to take her out.

 

Then give me your word you won't.

 

This is absurd.
Promise me, Benjamin.

 

All right, I promise, for christ's sake.

 

I promise I will never take
out Elaine Robinson.

 

Thank you.

 

Benjanmin.
Let's not talk about it.

 

Let's not talk at all.

 

Elaine's back from school.

 

I think it might be a nice gesture
if you asked her out.

 

Suppose she's not good
enough for you, is that it?

 

Look - Elaine Robinson and I
do not get along.

 

How do you know?
You haven't seen her since high school.

 

Suppose
your evenings, whatever
you do with them, are just too valuable.

 

That has nothing to do with it -

 

I guess I'll just tell Mr. Robinson

 

that you're just too busy every
evening - doing God knows what -

 

Don't go on like this.

 

If Benjamin absolutely
refuses to take her out -
I do.

 

- then I'll simply invite all the
Robinsons' over on Thursday.

 

Well, Braddock - it's about
time you got around to this.

 

Hello.

 

Come on in. I'm afraid the young
lady isn't quite ready yet.

 

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 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.

 

Are 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.

 

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 is 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?

 

Benjamin, I really 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?

 

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 are student?
Not exactly.

 

What's 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 you 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 -

 

She 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?

 

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 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 aren't.

 

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 you the patience to wait untill 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 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 make
damned sure you can get to...

 

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 burgler 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 side of Santa Barbara?

 

I don't know. Maybe at his old man's house.

 

He only told me these words.

 

Are you going to the wedding?
Yes.

 

Hey, tell him to save the piece for me.

 

of the wedding cake.

 

Can I use your phone?
Yes.

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'd like 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 to stop him.

 

Ben!

 

You are crazy buck!

 

Elaine, it's too late.
Not for me!Not for me!
