The final Sunday Night Flick in Mem Aud in 1985, per tradition, was The Graduate. The loudest applause by far was for the following dialogue between Benjamin Braddock and his dad:
Mr. Braddock: Have you thought about graduate school?
Benjamin Braddock: No.
Mr. Braddock: Would you mind telling me then what those four years of college were for? What was the point of all that hard work?
Benjamin Braddock: You got me.
Mr. Braddock: Have you thought about graduate school?
Benjamin Braddock: No.
Mr. Braddock: Would you mind telling me then what those four years of college were for? What was the point of all that hard work?
Benjamin Braddock: You got me.
