Best line in the film

Rating: Null/10 (5 May 2004)

First saw The Graduate in 1975 at a college showing. Ben brings down the house during the swimming pool scene. His father is ranting about him wasting his life and asks "What was all that hard work during the last four years for!?" Ben deadpans, "You got me." The entire audience erupts in cheers and applause. You couldn' hear another word for the next three minutes. Do college students still love this line?
In retrospect, I see this line as key to understanding the entire film. Ben's searching for meaning in his morally empty upper-middle class life in which the only goals he has been given are the mindless pursuit of money and status. Since he's never known any life without money and status, and has never had to actually work for anything, he wonders what's the point?
By the way, if you like this film, DO NOT MISS the magnificent homage to the final scene in Wayne's World 2.
