That would be my partner, Mr. Bainbridge, who does sample--
- That's it. - Oh, boy.
You'll miss your program.
- It's finished. - One minute to Wapner.

Defendants! Plaintiffs! You had it all!
They're in there making legal history, Ray.
- Legal history. - Oh, boy!
- Oh, boy. - What is going on out here?
I'm sorry, ma'am. I lied to you. That man is my brother.
If he doesn't watch 'People's Court' in about 30 seconds...
he'll have a fit on your porch.
Now, you can help me, or you can stand there and watch it happen.
We Like to watch cartoons. You think he'd settle for that?
...and she sees an identical twin.
True, he didn't have his shirt on-- the other one did--
but they sure look alike to me.
If it got on his chest, even if it didn't burn or got real cold--
- I put my hand on the dry ice. - Daddy's not here now.
I wanted to take it off quickly because it got very cold.
I also confess, I was afraid I might burn my hand.
If I put it up against a bare chest--
Ken, work with me. I'll take care of you--
- You know that song? - My judgment is for the defendant.
We'll be back for the reaction...
to Judge Wapner's decision right after these messages.

Must be some accounting error. How much will this cost?
Twenty dollars, sir.

What are you asking me for? I'm not asking you. I'm telling you.
Who is on first. I'm asking you, who's on first?
- Yo, Ray. - That's the man's name.
- This is not a riddle. - Yeah. Know the fella's name?
-Yeah. Then who's playing first base? -You'll never figure out who's on first.

Sometimes his wife comes down and collects it.
- Whose wife? - It's comedy.
Every dollar of it. Yeah.
You got a first baseman on first? Yeah.
It's a routine between Abbott and Costello.
When you do it, you're not funny. You're Abbott and Abbott.
- Yeah. - You understand me?
Sometimes his wife comes down and collects it.
Whose wife? Yeah.
- Ray? - Yeah.
- You are never gonna solve it. - Yeah.
You know why? It's not a riddle.
And if you understood that...
if you understood that it's funny, you might get better.
All I'm trying to find out is what's the guy's name on first base.
What's the guy's name on first base? No, what's the guy's name on second base.

What did you sing?
She was just seventeen
You know what I mean
And the way she looked was way beyond compare
So how could I dance with another
When I saw her standing there
Did I Like it when you sang to me?
Did we sing any other songs Like the Beatles?
Scary! Hot! Scary bad!
Scary bad! Scary!
What's scary about it?
Hot water burn baby!
- Water! - 'Hot water burn baby'?

- I'm not burned. - Yeah.
I'm not burned. It's okay.

They thought you'd hurt me.
Never hurt baby.
Never hurt Charlie Babbitt.
Never hurt Charlie.
What? What?
Never hurt Charlie Babbitt.
What, Ray?
What?
Come on. It's 11:00, Ray.
- Lights out. - Yeah.
Never hurt Charlie Babbitt. Never hurt Charlie Babbitt.
There you go. Right where you Like 'em, at the end of the bed.
Come on, Ray.
Hi, it's me.
You didn't hang up. Does that mean we're engaged?
Listen, l, uh--
I just wanna hear it's not over.
I'm scared it's over.
Don't ask me tonight. I don't know what to say.
- Let it sit. - Something I'm not real good at.
There are a lot of things that you're not good at.
I'll call you when I get back, okay?
- I'll see you. - Ciao.
Why are you looking at that? I bought a TV, and you're watching a dryer.
I don't know.
Because at the shrink hearing, we'll have to prove...
you prefer to watch TV as opposed to the clothes dryer, you understand that?
- Yeah. - You Listening to me?
Turn this off when you're not watching it.
- Yeah. - You'll run down the batteries.
Then where will you be at 3:00 when Wapner's on?
Yeah. The red one always falls the same.
Why don't you listen to me?
You don't wanna listen to me, do you?
You wanna go back to Wallbrook?
I gotta make a phone call.
Lenny, it's me.
Where have you been? I've been sittin' by this phone for three hours.
I had to buy some clothes.
Clothes? Charlie, we are in serious trouble.
- Why are you buyin' clothes? - Take it easy.
I'm in Tucumcari. I'll be there--
They repossessed the cars to pay off the Loan.
The cars are gone, Charlie.
And Bateman wants his down payment back. They all do.
That's 80,000, Charlie.
80,000. I don't have it.
You gotta pay these people back, or it's all over.
We're out of business. What am I gonna tell 'em?
I don't know.
Son of a bitch!
This would be easier if you let me put the top up.
You wouldn't have to fry.
Put this lotion on so you don't burn.
Don't start with that. You want me to put the top up?
- I definitely Like the top down. - I know. I don't want you to burn.
Definitely Like it when the top's--
It's all right. Just take it easy.
- Oh, no. - It's almost over.
Uh-huh. All right. How does that feel?
Very slippery.
Maldonado swings, and there's a base hit into center field.
One run is in. Here's Brenly going to third.
The throw by Davis... not in time.
Brenly in safely at third base...
on Maldonado's single.
He held that ball too Long in center field, don't you think so?
We'll look at it again.
Treadwell playing way over towards the right side, shaded him to pull.
Here's Davis.
Yeah, he seems to hold it there just a bit, Tom.
Sort of double-pumped it. Watch the replay.
He loses all chance on a play on Brenly...
even though Brenly doesn't exactly run fast.
And the throw into third base finally is a little bit high.
Will you give me a break with this?
Ray, stop it.
J-7.
- K-7? What's that? - J-7.
What's J-7?
What's J-7? The song?

One 5.
You are beautiful, man.
- I'm an excellent driver. - You can't drive now, Ray.
You Listening to me? This is very important.
When there's lots of tens and picture cards left, then it's good for us.
- Say it. 'Tens are good.' - Tens are good.
- Okay. And you're gonna bet one-- - One if it's bad.
- Two if it's good. - That's right. Two if it's good.
Now, listen. Casinos have house rules.
The first one is, they don't Like to lose.
So you never, never show that you are counting cards.
That is the cardinal sin, Ray.
Are you Listening to me? That's very, very important.
Yeah. Counting is bad.
Yes. Counting is bad.
I Like to drive slow on the driveway.
You get this right, you can drive wherever you want as slow as you Like.
I'm an excellent driver.

He has a date?
Raymond, it'd be nice if you didn't carry that television everywhere we go.
Why do you have to bring a Watchman on your date?
A man's dancing.
But what does your date look Like, Raymond?
She's very sparkly. She looks Like a holiday.
- I haven't heard that one before. - Mr. Babbitt?

He's director of security. Would you come with me, please?

- Right this way. - Certainly.
10:01, she's not here.
She'll come. She will.
Congratulations, Mr. Babbitt. Counting into a six-deck shoe is a feat.
I don't understand what you're talking about.
We make videotapes, Mr. Babbitt, and we analyze the tapes...
and we even share some of the information with the other casinos.
These tapes suggest that you should take your winnings and Leave the state.
Someone has a good day at the tables...
and you accuse them of illegal activities?
Is this how you treat all your guests?
All you have to do is close your mouth and go home.
Those are the best odds you're gonna see for a while. I'd take 'em.
- Did you want to dance on your date? - Yeah.
There'll be other chances. Many pretty girls would love to dance with you.
- Yeah. - It's gonna be okay.
- I Like this music, Ray. - Elevator stopped.
It's okay. You think you could show me how you were going to dance with Iris?
- Yeah. - Yes?
- Would you Like to dance with me? - Elevator's on hold.
- Give me this. - Yeah.
- Show me how.
Charlie Babbitt taught me.
- Charlie Babbitt? - Yeah.
Dancing in the elevator.
It's nice.
You're very good.
- Iris missed a beautiful dance. - Yeah.
- And a kiss. - Yeah, a kiss.
- Have you ever kissed a girl? - I don't know.
You don't know?
Open your mouth. Open.
- Yeah. - Like this.
Like you were tasting something very good...
and very soft.
Like this. Close your eyes.
- It's okay, Ray. - Yeah.
- How was that? - Wet.
- Then we did it right. - Elevator's definitely stuck.
No, it's not stuck.
Here.
Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers.
- Like us. - Yeah, Like us.
What'd I tell you, Ray? I promised you could drive.
- At Wallbrook, I drive on the driveway. - Charlie, this is okay?
- I'm an excellent driver. - He's good on a driveway.
Ray, why don't you get in the front seat?
So, I'll wait to hear from you after Raymond's meeting?
- Yeah. - It's gonna be fine.
- Yeah. I'm nervous. - I know.
Listen, I'm glad, happy-- I'm happy that you came to Vegas.
I know.
Ciao.
Ray, thank you for the date in the elevator. It was really nice.
- Yeah. - Ciao.
- Thank you for the what? - It's something between us.
- Between us? - Us.
Us, Ray?
Here we go, Ray. This is your bedroom up here.
Of course, there's definitely no bed there.
No, this is a magic bed, Ray. You just watch and see.
We got the table over here. We got the television, Ray.
Went to the video store. Got a surprise for you, Ray.
Picked up a video for you.
Don't start with that, Ray.
It's not just another place, Ray. This is my place.
I'm asking you who's on first. That's the man's name.
Who? The first baseman. Who is on first.
You got a first baseman on first? Certainly. Then who's playing first?
- The man's entitled to it. - Who is?
Yes.
- So who gets it? - Why shouldn't he?
Sometimes his wife comes down and collects it.
- Whose wife? - Yes.
- After all, the man earns it. - Who does?
Absolutely.
All I'm tryin' to find out is what's the guy's name on first base?
No, What is on second base.
- Don't you think this is funny? - Yes, it's funny.
- Where'd you see this first? - Dad gave me a book on baseball trivia.
- Dad, huh? - Yeah.
- Guess it didn't read as funny. - Definitely not.
Hello, this is Dr. Bruner. I'd Like you to call me.
Yeah, what is it?
I thought I got the machine.
I just got into town, and the psychological interview is tomorrow.
Yes, sir, I know that.
I thought we should get together and talk.
I think it might be in your best interests to meet me.
When?
I'm at the Bonaventure. How about tonight at 8:30?
Tomorrow you'll meet Dr. Marston, who's in charge of Raymond's evaluation.
- Yeah, I know. - I gave him boxes of files on Raymond.
- Good luck. - This isn't a close call.
It's a formality. Your brother's a very disabled individual.
Are you trying to tell me that Marston's gonna rule against me?
No, I'm telling you it's always been a lost cause.
- Then why did you call me? - Let me tell you something.
Your father put me in charge of all the money.
It doesn't matter whether or not you win custody of Raymond.
I won't have to pay you a dime. It's at my discretion.
- So you can't lose? - I can lose Raymond.
I care about your brother's Life and the treatment he receives.
I made a commitment to your father some 20 years ago...
and I'm not willing to gamble with that.
What is this?
It's a very big check.
$250,000.
And no strings attached. Just walk away, Charlie.
This isn't about you and me.
It's not about winning or losing.
I asked you a week ago, why didn't anyone ever tell me I had a brother?
You didn't have an answer.
I don't know.
I just realized I'm not pissed off anymore...
my father cut me out of his will.
You probably knew he tried to contact me over the years.
I never called him back. I was a prick.
If he was my son and didn't return my calls, I'd have written him out.
But it's not about the money anymore.
You know, I just don't understand.
Why didn't he tell me I had a brother?
Why didn't anyone ever tell me that I had a brother?
Because it'd have been nice to know him for more than just the past six days.
Ray! Come on.
It stopped. It's all right.
V-E-R-N.
Vern. Vern.
My main man, Vern.
V-E-R-N.
My main man, Vern.
V-E-R-N. Vern, my main man.
They got raspberry, blueberry...
whole wheat, peachy keen, beer nut, rocky road, buckwheat.
How about buckwheat? What kind of pancakes you want, Ray?
- Pancakes. - What kind?
- Pancakes. - Of course.
The maple syrup is supposed to be on the table before the pan--
Charlie Babbitt made a joke.
- I made a joke, Ray. - Yeah.
Step back a little bit.
Hello?
Why don't you go sit down over there?
Hello?
This is not a legal proceeding, so there's no judge present...
just the people who care about Raymond.
Raymond, have a seat over there. Mr. Babbitt, other side of the table.
Raymond, right here. How about this seat?
- Take this seat. - Put your knapsack on the floor.
This is a good opportunity to be honest with one another.
Ray, the TV? On the floor. I'm sorry.
I don't know an easy way to say this, Mr. Babbitt--
Have I lost already?
No, you haven't lost. I'm not the judge and jury.
I'm just making a recommendation to a court.
I must tell you that Dr. Bruner is a very respected professional.
Raymond's case has been meticulously documented over the years...
and Wallbrook is one of the finest institutions in this country.
You've made up your mind. I'll see you in court.
My brother came further with me than he did with you in 20 years.
- It's not necessary to-- - You don't know anything about us.
- It's not necessary to challenge him. - I'm sorry.
Exactly what happened this past week, Raymond?
- We got to know each other. - I was asking Raymond.
Raymond, what happened this past week?
- What did you do? - Counted cards.
- Counted cards? - Counted cards in Las Vegas.
- Your brother took you to Las Vegas? - Lost $3,000 on the wheel of fortune.
Gave you $3,000 to gamble with?
Lost $3,000 on pitiful 20.
- And what else did you do? - Bet on number 20.
- What else did you do? - Danced with Charlie Babbitt.
- Danced with your brother? - He wanted to learn.
Danced in the elevator with Susanna. Kissed Susanna.
- You kissed Susanna? - Yeah, in the elevator.
- Did you enjoy kissing a woman? - I don't know.
- How did it feel? - It felt wet.
- Wet? - Yeah.
- Quite a trip, huh? - Yeah.
- Did you enjoy being on the road? - I'm an excellent driver.
- You drove? - Yeah.
-Your brother let you drive the highway? -Slow on the driveway.
He didn't drive on the highway.
- Did he have any emotional outbursts? - What do you mean?
Well, things they tend to do when-- Inflict bodily harm on themselves.
- Yeah, a couple of times. - A couple of times?
He had what you call an outburst at the airport because he didn't wanna fly.
- So we didn't fly. - When was his last outburst?
- This morning when-- - This morning?
This is bullshit, because I could tell you anything or tell you nothing.
You'd never know the difference. This morning the smoke alarm went off.
He got nervous, but he's fine now.
Don't feel as I'm placing any blame.
We went out for pancakes. He's fine.
- You don't have to be defensive. - I'm just being honest with you.
- You're missing the point. - I'm being truthful about this.
I'm not placing any blame--
I had a father I hardly knew, a mother I didn't know at all.
I find out now that I have a brother, and I'm supposed to give him up?
No one is saying anything.
I didn't hurt him, he's not hurting me, we're not hurting you.
- Why are you interfering? - I'm not interfering.
- This is my family. - I understand that.
Your brother is not capable of having a relationship with you.
That's your opinion. Did you spend 24 hours a day, seven days a week with him?
You cannot care for your brother without professional guidance.
- That's your opinion. - Yes, it's my opinion.
There's some things I'd Like to go over.
Dr. Bruner states a week ago you stole Raymond out of the institution...
and were willing to trade him for $1.5 million, correct?
My father died. I was upset.
That was wrong.
Last week you were upset, and this week you've found a devotion to him...
and you want to take care of him.
Yes.
From the beginning it was Like a kidnapping.
Kidnapping. That's very strong. I didn't kidnap my brother.
But in the course of a week, you came to have an understanding with him.
Yes.
- Look, that-- - Yes?
I understand that this sounds irrational to you.
When it started out--
- Don't feel compelled to be defensive. - Can I talk?
- Yes, you can. - Thank you.
There's no accusations. Go ahead.
No accusations?
See, you have to understand...
that when we started out together that he was only my brother...
in name.
And then...
this morning we had pancakes.
Maple syrup. Maple syrup on the--
Maple syrup on the table.
And Charlie Babbitt made a joke.
See, we--
I made a connection.
I think it's admirable that you made a connection...
but the purpose of this meeting is to determine what is best for Raymond...
whether or not he's capable of functioning in the community...
and what, in fact, he wants, if that's possible to determine.
I'm all for that.
- Raymond's unable to make decisions. - You're wrong.
He can't decide for himself.
He's capable of a lot more than you know.
Why don't we ask Raymond?
Raymond, can I ask you a few questions?
- The doctor's talking to you. - Can I ask you a few questions?
Do you wanna stay with your brother?
Raymond, would you Like to stay with your brother in Los Angeles?
The doctor's asking you a question.
- So you listen. - Yeah.
Raymond, do you wanna stay with your brother Charlie?
- Do you wanna stay with your brother? - Yeah.
- You do? - Yeah.
You wanna stay with your brother?
Yeah. I wanna stay with my brother Charlie Babbitt.
- That's what you want? - Yeah.
- You wanna stay with your brother? - Yeah.
- Can I ask you something else? - Yeah.
- You wanna go back to Wallbrook? - Yeah.
Raymond, can you make a distinction between your brother and Wallbrook?
Yeah.
- Do you wanna stay with your brother? - Yeah.
- Or do you wanna go to Wallbrook? - Yeah.
They're two separate things.
Your brother or Wallbrook? It's not one thing, Raymond.
- Back to Wallbrook, stay with Charlie. - Okay.
- Back to Wallbrook, stay with Charlie. - Can you make that choice?
- One or the other. - Go back to Wallbrook.
All right.
Just hold on here.
All right.
You made your point.
You don't have to humiliate him. Ray, it's okay.
- It's over. - Yeah.
Stay back at Wallbrook with Charlie Babbitt.
- Stay back at Wallbrook-- - It's over.
- Raymond? - Yeah.
Dr. Bruner, can I talk to you?
Excuse me.
- You okay, Ray? - Yeah.
- You don't want more questions, do you? - No.
I don't know.
- You don't want more questions, do you? - No.
- There won't be any more questions. - Yeah.
- I'll make sure of that. - Yeah, main man.
- What? - My main man.
Listen.
Ray, I don't know if I'm gonna have a chance to talk to you again.
Because you see, these--
Dr. Bruner really likes you a lot, and he's probably gonna take you back.
- You know? - Yeah.
What I said about being on the road with you I meant.
Connecting.
- I Like having you for my brother. - I'm an excellent driver.
Yes, you are.
I Like having you for my big brother.
C-H-A-R-L-l-E.
Main man.
May I have your attention, please?
Amtrak train number 36, the Desert Wind, eastbound...
now boarding, track number three.
- Fullerton, San Bernardino, Barstow... - Ray.
Las Vegas, Salt Lake City, Denver, Omaha, Chicago.
- Hello, Charlie. - Dr. Bruner.
Hello, Raymond.
Wouldn't you feel more relaxed in your favorite Kmart clothes?
Tell him, Ray.
- Kmart sucks. - I see.
I have the tickets, and I'll be on this car right here to the right.
Why don't you take a couple of minutes? See you, Charlie.
You made a joke, Ray.
I guess I'd better give this to you. You're gonna have to carry this now.
It's got your cheeseballs, your apple juice...
notebooks, pens and...
'Who's On First?' video that you Like.
- 'Who's On First?' is very funny. - I told you it's funny.
Board!
- Better get goin'. - Very shiny train.
Yeah, it sure is.
Now listen, Ray. Dr. Bruner only has custody of you.
That doesn't mean I can't visit.
I'm comin' to see you in two weeks.
- How many days is that? - Fourteen days from today.
- Today's Wednesday. - And hours?
336 hours.
Mystifying.
'Course, that's 20,160 minutes.
1,209,600 seconds.
Ray?
I'll see you soon.
Yeah. One for bad, two for good.
Bet two for good.
Three minutes to Wapner.
You'll make it.
