Memorable Quotes



Benjamin: Oh my God! 
Mrs. Robinson: Pardon? 
Benjamin: Oh no, Mrs. Robinson. Oh no. 
Mrs. Robinson: What's wrong? 
Benjamin: Mrs. Robinson, you didn't... I mean, you didn't expect... 
Mrs. Robinson: What? Benjamin: I mean, you didn't really think I'd do something like that. 
Mrs. Robinson: Like what? 
Benjamin: What do you think? 
Mrs. Robinson: Well, I don't know. 
Benjamin: For god's sake, Mrs. Robinson. Here we are. You 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? 
Benjamin: Mrs. Robinson, you're trying to seduce me. 
Mrs. Robinson: [laughs] Huh? 
Benjamin: Aren't you?

Mrs. Robinson: Benjamin. 
Benjamin: Yes? 
Mrs. Robinson: Isn't there something you want to tell me? 
Benjamin: Tell you? 
Mrs. Robinson: Yes. 
Benjamin: Well, I want you to know how much I appreciate this. Really. 
Mrs. Robinson: The number. 
Benjamin: What? 
Mrs. Robinson: The room number, Benjamin. I think you ought to tell me that. 
Benjamin: Oh, you're absolutely right. It's 568. 
Mrs. Robinson: Thank you. 
Benjamin: You're welcome. Well... I'll see you later, Mrs. Robinson.

Benjamin: Mrs. Robinson, I can't do this anymore. 
Mrs. Robinson: You what? 
Benjamin: This is all terribly wrong. 
Mrs. Robinson: Do you find me undesirable? 
Benjamin: Oh no, Mrs. Robinson. I think, I think you're the most attractive of all my parents' friends. I mean that.
