Benjamin That older woman that I told you about?...The married woman. That wasn't just some woman... Elaine Oh, no. Oh, my God. Get out! Mrs. Robinson Good-bye, Benjamin. Benjamin I'm going to marry Elaine Robinson. Mr. Braddock Don't you think that idea is a little half-baked? Benjamin Oh no, Dad, it's completely baked. Mr. Robinson Do you ummm... do you want to tell my why you did it Benjamin Mr. Robinson! Mr. Robinson Do you have a special grudge against me? Do you feel a particularly strong resentment?
