They're all waiting to see you. 10 Look, Dad, Could you explain to them that I have to be alone for a while? 11 These are all our good friends, Ben. 12 Most of them have known you since - well - practically since you were born. 13 What is it, Ben? 14 I'm just - 15 - worried? 16 Well - 17 About what? 18 I guess - about my future. 19 What about it? 20 I don't know. I want it to be - 21 To be what? 22 Different. 23 Is anything wrong? No, No, we're just on our way downstairs! 24 The Carlsons' are here. 25 They are? Come on. 26 They came all the way from Tarzana. 27 Come on, let's get cracking. 28 It's a wonderful thing to have so many devoted friends. 29 Hey - there's our award winning scholar. 30 We're all very proud of you, Ben. 31 Thank you, Mrs. Carlson. 32 Is that the new car out there? The little red Wop job? 33 That's Ben's graduation present. 34 Won't have much trouble picking them up in that, will you? 35 So? 36 The girls, the chicks, the teeny boppers. 37 I think Ben has gotten beyond the teeny bopper stage. Haven't you, Ben? 38 Yes, madam. 39 Excuse me. I think I'd just like to check something on the car for a minute. 40 Here's the track star. How are you, track star? 41 Just fine, Mr. Loomis. 42 I want to get a drink and then I want to hear all about that thing you won. That Hoppermanaward. 43 Helpingham. 44 Helpingham! Right! You wait right here. 45 Ben - we're all so proud of you. Proud, proud, proud, proud, proud. 46 What are you going to do now? 47 I was going to go upstairs for a minute - 48 No - I meant with your future, Your life. 49 Well - that's a little hard to say - 50 Ben! |
