The Graduate
The original quote, with slang
Mr. Braddock: Don't you think that idea is a little half-baked?
Benjamin: Oh no, Dad, it's completely baked.
What does it mean?
Mr. Braddock: That idea doesn't seem completely worked out, Ben.
Benjamin: Oh no, Dad, I've thought about it enough.
The original quote, with slang
Room Clerk: Are you here for an affair, sir?
Benjamin: What?
Room Clerk: The Singleman party, sir?
Benjamin: Ah, yes, the Singleman party.
What does it mean?
Room Clerk: Are you here for an affair*, sir?
Benjamin: What?
Room Clerk: Are you here for the Singleman party, sir?
Benjamin: Ah, yes, I'm with the Singleman party.
* The room clerk means to ask Benjamin if he is at the hotel for a private function, but because Benjamin is so nervous about meeting his parents' friend Mrs. Robinson for sex, he assumes he's being asked about his adulterous affair.
The original quote, with slang
Mr. Carlson: Is that the new car out there? The little red Wop job?
Mr. Braddock: That's Ben's graduation present.
Mr. Carlson: 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. Braddock: I think Ben has gotten beyond the teeny bopper stage - haven't you, Ben?
Ben: Yes, ma'am.
What does it mean?
Mr. Carlson: Is that the new car out there? The little red Italian car*?
Mr. Braddock: That's Ben's graduation present.
Mr. Carlson: It won't be difficult for you to attract girls with that car, will it?
Ben: Excuse me?
Mr. Carlson: The girls. The girls. The...the girls in their early teens.
Mrs. Braddock: I think Ben dates girls older than that**, since he just graduated from college, don't you Ben?
Ben: Yes, ma'am.
*Wop is derogatory.
