[a knock on the apartment door as Ben's shaving]
Who is it?
Elaine:
[Elaine enters the room]
I want to ask you a question, and then I'm going!
Benjamin:
Come in.
Elaine:
No. I want to know why you're here in Berkeley.
Benjamin:
Because... I am.
Elaine:
Is it because I'm here?
Benjamin:
What do you think?
Elaine:
I think it is. I said, "I think it is!"
Benjamin:
All right, then yes.
Elaine:
Well, I want you to leave.
Benjamin:
Well, look, I love you!
Elaine:
How could you do that, Benjamin? Do you just hate everything? How could you possibly rape my mother?
Benjamin:
What?
Elaine:
I don't understand. I don't understand how you...
Benjamin:
Did you say "rape her"?
Elaine:
How you or anyone could do a thing like that!
Benjamin:
What did she say? You've got to tell me what she said!
Elaine:
Why?
Benjamin:
Because it isn't true! Tell me!
Elaine:
She said that she was having a drink at the hotel with a friend, and that you... waited for her in the parking lot, and told her that she was too drunk to drive home, and that you would get her a room for the night.
Benjamin:
Oh, then what?
Elaine:
Then you took her upstairs, and you raped her.
Benjamin:
Oh, no no, that's not what happened. What happened was that there was this party at my parents, I drove your mother home...
Elaine:
I don't want to hear this!
Benjamin:
Then we went upstairs to see your portrait...
Elaine:
No, I don't!
Benjamin:
When we got up in the room, she started taking her clothes off...
Elaine:
This is my mother, Benjamin!
Benjamin:
And suddenly, there she was without any clothes on, I mean, reallly naked!
Elaine:
Okay!
[Elaine screams hysterically, lying face down on Ben's bed, crying]

then we went upstairs to see your portrait.
00:00:54.068 --> 00:00:55.068
No - I no - and when we got up in the room -
00:00:55.068 --> 00:00:57.088
She is my mother! - she starts taking her her clothes off
00:00:57.088 --> 00:01:01.002
suddenly there she was without any clothes on. I mean really naked.
00:01:16.001 --> 00:01:18.084
Oh, hello, Mr. McCleery. Who screamed?
00:01:18.084 --> 00:01:20.999
It's all right, Mr. McCleery.
00:01:20.052 --> 00:01:22.092
Screaming isn't all right. Not in my house, it isn't.
00:01:23.998 --> 00:01:25.000
It was just a visitor. But it's all right now.
00:01:26.092 --> 00:01:28.028
What did you do to her?
00:01:28.044 --> 00:01:31.084
Look, she's all right. She's upset and she screamed. But she's okay now.
00:01:31.084 --> 00:01:33.028
Shall I get the cops? What?
00:01:33.028 --> 00:01:34.088
I'll get the cops. Hey, wait a minute.
00:01:35.002 --> 00:01:39.006
Damned look, see, here she's having some water.
00:01:40.028 --> 00:01:42.016
Now there's no need for the cops or anything.
00:01:42.064 --> 00:01:45.006
All right, boys, I think you can get back to your rooms now.
00:01:47.056 --> 00:01:49.064
I don't think we'll have any more of this agitation.
00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:52.072
Will we, Braddock? No, sir.
00:01:56.002 --> 00:01:57.999
I want you out of here.
00:01:58.998 --> 00:02:00.999
What do you mean? You heard me. Out of here.
00:02:00.999 --> 00:02:02.044
What for? Because I don't like you.
00:02:34.016 --> 00:02:35.056
I'm sorry I screamed.
00:02:40.028 --> 00:02:42.016
Benjamin, when you came up here,
00:02:42.016 --> 00:02:44.999
what did you think was going to happen between us?
00:02:46.001 --> 00:02:48.072
Elaine - right now I don't feel like talking much.
00:02:48.072 --> 00:02:50.028
I'm sorry about everything.
00:02:50.028 --> 00:02:51.001
but I think I'll just do this now.
00:03:03.999 --> 00:03:05.012
Can I just sit here while you're packing?
00:03:06.012 --> 00:03:07.992
If you want.
00:03:19.999 --> 00:03:21.001
What are you going to do now?
