Rumor Has It...
I was just off the 16th green in two,
and he was buried in the bunker.
Ginny's been working so hard
on the Junior League Charity Ball.
- How marvelous.
- You've got to help with the committee.
- Of course I will.
- You gonna be at the Goldwater rally?
You bet. I wouldn't miss it.
We went to Spain last summer, and
it's like an entirely different country.
You see what Jackie Kennedy
was wearing?
- Yes, I did.
- Wasn't it beautiful?
Okay, everyone,
Grab that special someone you love.
It all started on
New Year's Eve, 1962...
...in my hometown
of Pasadena, California...
...when this man and this woman
slept together.
He was 21, she was 42.
Six months later,
the affair ended...
...when the man
slept with someone else.
Not just anY someone else,
the woman's onlY daughter.
As if things needed
to get more complicated...
...three daYs later, the daughter
married a different guY.
No one was aware
of the bride's little fling.
No one, that is, except her mother.
That could have been the end
of the storY, but it wasn't.
The following spring,
a book was published.
The author was a classmate
of the Young man.
Not the groom, the other one.
You know, the one who slept
with mother and the daughter?
Names were changed...
...but that didn't stop all of Pasadena
from doing what it does best: Gossip.
And with the Lindus boy too.
Her best friend's son.
No, l... I heard it was Mary Beth...
...with that Bianchi boy.
But Mary Beth
doesn't have a daughter.
No, but she has a homosexual son.
Without any prime suspects, however,
interest in the scandal quickly faded.
Guess who showed up
stewed last week at the Hunt Club.
I don't feel the conservative
cause has been hurt. Twenty-five...
It was, after all, onlY a book.
Once again, this could have
been the end of the story.
But then, in 1967,
the movie came out.
For God's sake, Mrs. Robinson...
...here we are, You got me into
Your house, give me a drink...
...You put on music, now You start
opening up Your life to me...
...tell me Your husband
won't be home.
- So?
- Mrs. Robinson...
...You're trYing to seduce me.
Aren't You?
Well, no, I hadn't thought of it.
I feel very flattered...
And that's how the deepest, darkest
secret of one Pasadena family...
...became immortalized.
Ever since, people in town
have wondered...
...who is the real Benjamin Braddock
and who is the real Mrs. Robinson.
All this happened over 30 Years ago.
So, what does this
have to do with me?
To answer that,
You'd have to know who I was.
Which, in the winter of 1997...
...is something I myself
was struggling with.
Truth be known, I'd been struggling
with that mY whole life.
Sarah?
- Yoo-hoo, Sarah.
- Yeah?
- You okay?
- Yeah. I'm fine.
- You don't seem fine.
- Oh, no. I'm fine. I am.
Okay, fine.
- What was that?
- Turbulence.
That wasn't turbulence.
That felt mechanical.
- That was textbook turbulence.
- L... Okay.
You are not a pilot.
You do not know that.
Since when did you
become afraid of flying?
I'm not afraid of flying.
I love to fly.
It's crashing that I hate.
I hate crashing.
Baby, where...?
Where is your engagement ring?
That's... It's in my...
It's in my purse.
What's it doing in there?
Well, you know...
...how on planes your...
Your fingers get all swollen.
Oh, really? I never heard that.
Really? Yeah, they do.
They get swollen.
And fat.
But don't they sort of unswell
when you land?
Yes. They do.
- But I wasn't finished.
- Okay.
I was also thinking...
...this is Annie's wedding weekend,
you know?
I don't think we should announce our
engagement and steal her thunder.
- Why does it keep doing that?
- Because we're in an airplane.
- Oh, God.
- You really need to calm down, honey.
Wanna have sex in the bathroom?
I was thinking
more like a hot cup of tea.
- I'm serious.
- Baby, it's so cramped in there.
- They got harsh lighting...
- Come on. It's gonna be good.
Okay, just wait. Wait a little bit.
This is gonna be great.
- Sarah.
- This is gonna be fun.
- Want me to go out and do it again?
- No. No.
Hi.
Wait.
- I'm sorry, you're squishing my arm.
- Sorry.
- Sh*t.
- Let me just move over here, hold on.
My arm... Damn it.
- What? What?
- My shoe fell off. It's okay.
- I'll get it later.
- Okay.
You all right? Okay, let's...
Let's try again.
Wait, now your knee's in my...
Why don't you just turn.
Turn a little bit.
- Sorry.
- No.
Oh, no. No, no.
Is that better?
- Faucet.
- Okay.
Is that better?
- What?
- You're not into this.
- What? I'm into it.
- You are so not into this.
I'm into it.
- Okay.
- Okay.
God!
Whoa, Jesus.
- What, are you...?
- Okay, no, no, no. I'm being sucked.
- And not in a good way.
- God. Sorry.
Oh, God. I'm sorry.
It's not that bad. I just...
Did I get any of that blue water on me?
I've never even met the guy.
- What? What guy?
- Annie's fianc.
What kind of a maid of honor am I?
What kind of a big sister am I?
It's not like we have a mother who
helped her pick out her wedding dress.
And got her something old and
something new and something...
That blue thing.
I don't think Annie is expecting you
to take the place of your mother.
I don't know. I don't know.
Listen, I hate to say this...
...but you always get like this just before
you're going home to see your family.
I do?
I do.
Because I don't fit in with them.
I don't fit with anybody.
You fit with me.
Come here.
Come on.
You okay?
I can go tell the pilot
to turn the plane around.
So are we...?
Are we through here?
- Yeah.
- Okay, I got a plan.
- Okay.
- You leave...
...I'll wait here a few seconds,
maybe tidy up a little bit...
...then I'll slip out very discreetly...
...and pretend like I'm looking
for some more almonds.
- Okay.
- Okay?
- Okay.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- You got it?
- Yes.
- Okay. All right.
- Hey, how you doing?
- I'm okay.
- I was just... You know.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- I tell you about the tunnels?
- The tunnels?
There are tunnels
near Dodger Stadium.
Ever since we were little, we'd hold
our breath as we drove through them.
Now, my dad still thinks
that this is tremendous fun...
...and he will unquestionably
try to involve you in it.
- Yes.
- You don't have to...
...certainly not for me.
You know, I urge you not to, because
my dad drives like such an old lady...
...getting through the tunnel,
you'll pass out.
- Got it.
- Okay, now, tennis...
...always a safe subject, always safe.
Wine, good. You know,
any travel anecdotes...
...especially Europe, really good.
Don't bring up guns
or the death penalty...
...and whatever you do,
do not bring up Vietnam.
On the other hand, he loves
talking about the Civil War...
...Antietam and Shiloh.
Relax, it's gonna be fine.
I know. I'm saying,
in case you get stuck.
I'm not gonna get stuck.
