Brandise: Ben, what are you doing?
Ben: Well, I would say that I'm just drifting - - here, in the pool.
Brandise: Why?
Ben: Well, it's very comfortable just to drift here.
Brandise: Have you thought about graduate school?
Ben: No.
Brandise: Would you mind telling me then, what were those four years of college for? What was the point of all that hard work?
Ben: You got me.
Brandise: Now listen, Ben. Look, I think it's a very good thing that a young man, after he's done some very good work, should have a chance to relax and enjoy himself, and lie around, and drink beer and so on. But after a few weeks I believe that person should want to take some stock in himself and his situation and start to think about getting off his ass.
Brandise tells Ben that a young man should actively prepare for himself and his situation after relaxation.
