When they arrive at the house its dark and Mrs. Robinson asks Benjamin to stay until her husband comes home because she doesn’t like to be left alone due to her neuroticism. She pours them both a drink and proceeds to ask Benjamin what he thinks of her. After some persuading he tells her he has always considered her a very…nice…person. To that she responds that she is an alcoholic and wants his opinion on it.

Mrs. Robinson: Did you know I was an alcoholic?

Ben: What?

Mrs. Robinson: Did you know that?

Ben: Look, I think I should be going.

Mrs. Robinson: Sit down, Benjamin.

Ben (in a panic, now standing): Mrs. Robinson, if you don't mind my saying so, this conversation is getting a little strange. Now, I'm sure that Mr. Robinson will be here any minute now and -

Mrs. Robinson: No.

Ben: What?

Mrs. Robinson: My husband will be back quite late. He should be gone for several hours.

Ben: Oh my God. (He retreats)

Mrs. Robinson: Pardon?

Ben: Oh no, Mrs. Robinson, oh no.

Mrs. Robinson: What's wrong?

Ben: Mrs. Robinson, you didn't - I mean, you didn't expect -

Mrs. Robinson: What?

Ben: I mean, you didn't really think that I would do something like that.

Mrs. Robinson: Like what?

Ben: What do you think?
