Rumor Has It... Page #4

- Yes. And...

...Dustin Hoffman's character in

The Graduate was Benjamin Braddock.

Benjamin Braddock, Beau Burroughs.

"B.B." Get it?

Benjamin Braddock,

Beau Burroughs:
B.B.

- I got it.

- Oh, my God. I mean, my mom...

...ran off with this guy,

got pregnant...

...and then came back to marry my dad.

- Maybe got pregnant.

I mean, was she in love with this guy?

And if she was,

why would she come back?

And why has no one

ever told me about this?

Most of all

You have to hide it from the kids...

What are you two talking about

in here?

- The wedding is about to begin.

- You're Anne Bancroft, aren't you?

You're Mrs. Robinson.

Jeff.

- Go play with your dick.

- I can do that.

Are you?

Mom liked Beau Burroughs,

you seduced him...

...then she ran off with him

a week before the wedding.

Don't believe everything

you see in the movies.

Is that a yes?

For what it's worth,

I thought that Mrs. Robinson...

...was the most interesting character

in the film.

Did that seduction scene really play

like that in real life, or was that a...?

You, don't talk.

Dearly beloved, we have come

together in the presence of God...

...and before this company

of friends...

...to witness and bless

the joining together...

...of Annie and Scott

in holy matrimony.

The union of husband and wife

in body, mind and spirit...

...is intended by God

for their mutual joy...

...for help and comfort given one

another in adversity and prosperity...

...and with the sense of responsibility

for this fragile Earth...

...our island home.

Pasadena, the number

for a Beau Burroughs.

Baby, a guy like that wouldn't

still be living in Pasadena.

No. That... Beau Burroughs.

That's two R's.

Jesus. Could you have done any

more shopping while we were here?

Okay. Well, could you

try Los Angeles, please?

I'll be waiting in the car.

All right. Thank you.

Hey, there you are.

Scott's taking me to brunch at the Hunt

Club, so I just wanted to say goodbye.

Mom always had the softest hands.

Yeah. Yeah, she was beautiful.

She was.

She really was.

I can't believe I'm married.

I can't believe you're married either.

I really can't believe it.

It was the strangest thing. I woke up

and I looked over at Scott...

...and it was like...

Like I was looking at somebody else.

Well, how...?

How did that make you feel?

Well, I just realized that,

you know, I'm...

Now I'm Mrs. Somebody Else.

Isn't that cool?

- Honey?

- I'll be right there.

- Oh, I love you so much.

- I love you too.

- Okay. Bye.

- Bye.

Oh, I'm married, I'm married,

I'm married.

Even if we get an expansion team,

it's still not the Rams.

Besides, it takes at least three years

to even be competitive.

With free agency

the way it is today...

...you can buy a contender

out of the gate.

Before you know it,

you'll kick the Rams' butts.

I like the way you think.

Hang onto this one. He's a keeper.

Are you okay?

You've been awfully quiet.

Yeah. I'm just tired.

It's a long weekend.

- But a great weekend.

- Yeah.

- Okay, guys. Fly safe.

- We will.

- Earl.

- Call me from New York.

- I will. Thank you.

- Okay.

- Bye.

- Bye, Dad.

- Can I borrow your phone?

- Find anything?

No, they were closed.

I wanna try again.

Hi. Hi, my name is Sarah Huttinger.

I'm an alumna of the class of '82. Hi.

Yes. I'm looking for an address

or a phone number...

...of a member of the class of '59,

a Beau Burroughs.

So he's speaking at this conference

in San Francisco tonight.

You're unbelievable.

How did you find all that out?

- I called his office and they told me.

- Genius.

So you're gonna just walk up to him

and ask him point-blank?

I guess I could walk in and yell

"Hey, Dad," see if he turns around.

Yeah.

- Am I crazy to do this?

- A little. Want me to come?

You can't come.

You've got that meeting.

Believe it or not, Chase Manhattan will

continue to exist with or without me.

No, if I'm gonna do this,

I have to do this on my own.

You know, I never told you this,

but they based a movie on my family.

Seriously. Titanic. They changed it

a little. There's no boat, nothing sank...

...but I did pose naked

for a portrait once.

Okay, here. Take this.

Use that from San Francisco.

You sure you don't want me to...?

Thanks.

Go find him. Stop being confused.

Remember, I don't care

who gives you away.

Oh, Jeff. I have your phone.

Okay. "Well, hello, Mr. Burroughs.

I think you might be my dad."

We've heard a lot today

about revolution.

The coming information revolution.

The coming Internet revolution.

You know, Che Guevara, he used to...

He used to describe revolution

as a turn of the heart.

He'd tap his rebels on the chest...

Oh, I'm sorry.

This conference is only

for registered participants and the press.

Oh, I am press. I'm the press.

Che, as you know,

was trained as a doctor.

And when a man of science

speaks in such figurative terms...

...one wonders exactly

what he has in mind.

As something of a dilettante

Che biographer, I have my own theory.

I think he was talking about

something he'd seen...

...perhaps many, many times

in his life:

The mystery of recovery.

That moment when a patient decides,

despite everything, to live.

To overcome his suffering

and will himself back to health.

That was a revolution to Che.

A willing of the unimaginable

into existence.

Ladies and gentlemen,

the Internet revolution, it isn't coming.

It has arrived.

But once it's in the computer, it's...

We just secured

the domain name Lobster. Com.

Virally, you could market it in stealth

mode, or you can do both.

I got this from very high up.

AOL and Time Warner are talking merger.

It's gonna change the world.

Caleus Tech is the third

multibillion-dollar company...

...that you've created, taken public

and sold in less than 10 years.

Do you have a problem

with commitment?

Well, there's two schools of thought

on that one, John.

I mean, first, some people think

that my attention span's too short...

...for a day-to-day manager, that I'm

only interested in the launch, the action.

And the second school

of thought is...

What was the question?

So, what's next?

What's... Ms. Huttinger,

how are things in New York?

Always happy to have the Gray Lady

represented. Any questions?

- Not just yet.

- Beau, I need you for a minute.

- Will it wait?

- Afraid not.

I apologize.

- Ms. Huttinger.

- I'm sorry.

This is huge. It's the search engine

to end all search engines.

I've been dealing with Ken Patterson

on this. I've been pounding him.

- And?

- And he's agreed to give up 30 percent...

...of the company for 100 million.

Both Goldman and Morgan Stanley

are drooling to take this public.

Ms. Huttinger.

Excuse me.

When you have a moment,

could I speak to you?

- Of course.

- Beau.

I'm not interested, Roger.

How can I help you?

I have a question

I would like to ask you.

Beau, your 100

will be 2 billion in 18 months.

Sarah Huttinger, Roger McManus.
