The Graduate Page #2
The CAMERA BEGINS TO PULL BACK SLOWLY.
BEN:
I'm just -
MR. BRADDOCK
- worried?
BEN:
Well -
MR. BRADDOCK
About what?
Ben
MR. BRADDOCK
What about it?
BEN:
I don't know. I want it to be -
MR. BRADDOCK
To be what?
BEN:
(quietly)
Different.
As Ben says this, the door to the bedroom opens and
MRS. BRADDOCK
Is anything wrong?
MR. BRADDOCK
No! No - we're just on our way
downstairs!
Mr. Braddock gets off the bed and goes to a chair and
picks up Ben's jacket which is lying across it.
MRS. BRADDOCK
The Carlsons' are here.
MR. BRADDOCK
(to Mrs. Braddock)
They are?
(to Ben)
Come on.
Mr. Braddock puts the jacket on Ben.
MRS. BRADDOCK
They came all the way from
Tarzana.
MR. BRADDOCK
It's a wonderful thing to have
so many devoted friends.
They move out of the door, Mr. Braddock steering Ben.
29INT. HALLS AND STAIRWAY - NIGHT
PHIL and MIMI CARLSON are coming up the stairs as the
Braddocks are moving down.
MR. CARLSON
Hey - there's our award winning
scholar.
MRS. CARLSON
We're all very proud of you,
Ben.
BEN:
Thank you, Mrs. Carlson.
MR. CARLSON
Is that the new car out there?
The little red Wop job?
MR. BRADDOCK
That's Ben's graduation present.
MR. CARLSON
(putting his arm
across Ben's shoulder)
Won't have much trouble picking
them up in that, will you?
BEN:
Sir?
MR. CARLSON
The girls. The chicks. The -
the teeny boppers.
MRS. CARLSON
the teeny bopper stage - haven't
you, Ben?
Mrs. Carlson gives Ben a broad wink. Ben tries to smile
and return the wink politely.
BEN:
Yes, ma'am.
They reach the hall at the bottom of the stairs.
BEN:
Excuse me - I think I'd just
the car for a minute -
Ben moves to the front door and opens it. MR. LOOMIS
steps into the house and grabs Ben's hand.
MR. LOOMIS
Here's the track star himself.
How are you, track star?
BEN:
Just fine, Mr. Loomis.
Mr. Loomis closes the door and pushes Ben back down the
hall.
MR. LOOMIS
I want to get a drink and then
I want to hear all about that
thing you won. That Hopperman
award.
BEN:
Helpingham.
MR. LOOMIS
Helpingham! Right! Now you
wait right here.
Mr. Loomis turns and goes into the dining room. Ben
moves back to the stairway as THREE LADIES come out of
the living room. One lady takes Ben's right hand, another
lady his left, the third fingers the front of his jacket.
LADY 1
Ben - we're all so proud of
you.
LADY 2
Proud, proud, proud, proud,
proud.
LADY 3
What are you going to do now?
BEN:
I was going to go upstairs for a
minute -
LADY 3
No - I meant with your future.
LADY 2
With your life.
BEN:
Well - that's a little hard to say -
