Suggested correction: Since we never see the police come in, we're not for sure she actually called them as Mrs. Robinson is known to lie and manipulate. All we hear are tires screeching and as we see no police pursuing him, it's unlikely.
Buck Henry: Are you here for an affair, sir?
Trivia: Mrs. Robinson is supposed to be much older than Ben. In fact Anne Bancroft was only six years older than Dustin Hoffman.
