A scene from The Graduate 1967
Mrs. Robinson

Will you unzip my dress? I think I'll go to bed.

Benjamin

Oh well, good night.

Mrs. Robinson

Won't you unzip my dress?

Benjamin

I'd rather not, Mrs. Robinson.

Mrs. Robinson

If you still think I'm trying to seduce you...?

Benjamin

No, I don't, but I just feel a little funny.

Mrs. Robinson

Benjamin. You've known me all your life.

Benjamin

I know that but I'm...

Mrs. Robinson

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

Benjamin

Right.

Mrs. Robinson

What are you so scared of?

Benjamin

I'm not scared, Mrs. Robinson.

Mrs. Robinson

Then why do you keep running away?

Benjamin

Because you're going to bed. I don't think I should be up here.

Mrs. Robinson

Haven't you ever seen anybody in a slip before?

Benjamin

Yes, I have, but I just...Look, what if Mr. Robinson walked in right now?

Mrs. Robinson

What if he did?

Benjamin

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

Mrs. Robinson

Don't you think he trusts us together?

Benjamin

Of course he does, but he might get the wrong idea. Anyone might.

Mrs. Robinson

I don't see why? I'm twice as old as you are. How could anyone think that...

Benjamin

But they would! Don't you see?

Mrs. Robinson

Benjamin. I am not trying to seduce you!

Benjamin

I know that, but please, Mrs. Robinson. This is difficult..

Mrs. Robinson

Would you like me to seduce you?

Benjamin

What?

Mrs. Robinson

Is that what you're trying to tell me?

Benjamin

[A long pause]

I'm going home now. I apologize for what I said. I hope you can forget it. But I'm going home right now.
