251
Thank you for taking me home.
I'll see you soon, I hope.
252
Ladies and gentlemen, your attention, please
for this afternoon's feature attraction.
253
Hey, over there! Yes, I mean you!
Your attention please!
254
Are you ready in there, feature attraction?
Could I speak to you for a second, Dad?
255
Listen, I'm going to ask a big round of applause
to bring this boy out here, all right?
256
Wait a minute, let me amend1 that, to bring this young
man out here, because today he is 21 years old.
257
Come on, let's get on with the show!
258
Hang on a minute, I got a few words to say -
259
You always do.
ah, ah! what's talking
260
Dad, could we just talk about this for a second?
261
I can't hold them much longer, Ben.
You better get out here.
262
I'd like to discuss this.
263
This boy - I'm sorry - this young man -
is soon to continue his education
264
as a Frank Halpingham Award Scholar
265
But before he does - before he does -
266
You're disappointing them, Ben.
You're disappointing them.
267
Dad - can you listen -
268
I'll give you ten seconds
269
He is going to give us a practical
demonstration of what I feel safe
270
in saying is a pretty exciting birthday present
271
And it better work or I'm out
over two hundred bucks2.
272
Ok, let's herald3 now for - Benjamin Braddock!

Hello.
278
I don't quite know how to put this -
Benjamin?
279
Look, I was thinking about that time after the party -
280
Where are you?
281
I was wondering if I could
buy you a drink or something.
282
Where are you?
283
Uh - The Taft Hotel.
Did you get a room?
284
No. Now I know it's pretty
late and if you'd rather -
Give me an hour.
285
What?
I'll be there in an hour.
286
Can I help you, sir!
287
What? Oh - no - I'm just -
Are you here for an affair, sir?
288
What?
The Singleman party, sir?
289
Oh - yes. The Singleman party.
It's in the main ballroom6.
290
Ahh - thank you.
291
Hello.
Hello.
292
You must be one of the Poets.
No - actually I'm not -
293
I'd like you to know my sister,
Miss DeWitte -
294
How do you do?
How do you do, Miss DeWitte?
295
- and my husband, Mr. Singleman -
296
Oh, sorry.
Fine, thank you.
297
That's Jeffrey, of course.
Of course.
298
I didn't get your name, sir.
Benjamin Braddock, sir.
299
Braddock - Braddock?
Yes, but I'm afraid -
300
I'll find your table in a moment.
Braddock. Not Braniff? We have a Braniff.
