Dustin Hoffman — Benjamin Braddock — The Graduate

"All right, now listen to this. I dont know whether I can prosecute, but I think I can. I think I can get you behind bars if you ever look at my daughter again. Now, Ive seen Elaine, and Ive made damn sure you cant get to her. Stay away from me, Ben! I dont want to mince words with you. As far as Elaine is concerned, youre to get her out of your filthy mind right now! Is that perfectly clear to you? And thats all, Ben. Youll pardon me if I dont shake hands with you. I think you are filth. I think you are scum. You are a degenerate!"

"Katharine Ross — Elaine Robinson"

"Murray Hamilton — Mr. Robinson"

"I wish I was that age again because Ben...youll never be young again...Ben, can I say something to you?...uh, how long have we known each other now? How long have you and I known each other? How long have your dad and I been partners?...I watched you grow up, Ben...In many ways, I feel as though you were my own son...So I hope you wont mind my giving you a friendly piece of advice...I think you ought to be taking it a little easier right now than you seem to be...Sow a few wild oats, take things as they come, have a good time with the girls and so forth...You have yourself a few flings this summer. Ill bet youre, youre quite a ladies man...You look to me like the kind of guy who has to fight em off. [To Mrs. Robinson, who enters] Now doesnt he look to you like the kind of guy who has to fight em off?"

"William Daniels — Mr. Braddock"

"Ive had this feeling ever since I graduated. This kind of compulsion that I have to be rude all the time...Its like I was playing some kind of game, but the rules dont make any sense to me. Theyre being made up by all the wrong people. I mean no one makes them up. They seem to make themselves up."
