It's gonna cost $40.000 just to meet EPA now! What?
No, no, no. You give me the number, and I'm gonna call the conversion shop.
- That's my pen and my book. - Taking your book is not a serious injury.
- Serious injury goes in the red book. - Forgive me. I've lost my decoder ring.
- 4-5-4-5. - You're already number 18.
- In 1988. - Course, that's my book. That's my pen.
Uh-oh. 12 minutes to Wapner. It's definitely very small in here.
Small and safe. You don't wanna miss the party.
- "What you are witnessing is real." - There's a party in your honor, Ray.
When we get to LA, a little custody hearing. Know why there's a party?
- Cos you're the $3 million man. - "What you are witnessing is real."
- Ken Aldorf. Charlie Babbitt. - Uh-oh. Fart.
Charlie Babbitt. I'll hold.
- Did you fart, Ray? Did you fucking fart? - Fart.
Oh, man!
- How can you stand that? - I don't mind it.
- Yeah, Ken? It's Charlie Babbitt. - 10 minutes to Wapner.
We're definitely locked in this box with no TV. The-The-The People's Court.
How could this happen?
People's Court starts on the... They start on the button. Definitely on the button.
I got a problem. I'll have to call you back.
We're definitely not gonna make it. We're not gonna make it.
- We definitely have to go now. - Yes, we're going, Ray. Just take it easy.
- Where am I gonna find a television? - Three minutes to Wapner.
We've got eight minutes to Wapner.
Come on. You want to get in there and see the show? Huh?
Want to get in there and see the show? Then listen up.
Not another farmhouse in sight. This is it, man.
You act weird, we don't get in. Are you listening to me?
I want you to look normal. As normal as possible.
- Just... Put your hands down. - Four minutes to Wapner.
Just shut up. Shut up and stand there.
Raymond? Don't rock and moan. Put your hands down.
Good afternoon, ma'am. I'm from the AC Nielsen Company.
- You're familiar with our work? - You mean the TV ratings?
That's exactly it. You're a preliminary candidate to be the next Nielsen Family.
- My husband's not home... - You'll share the responsibility
for shaping television programming viewed by our entire nation,
in return for which you'll receive a cheque in the amount of $286 each month.
- Who's he? - That'd be my partner, Mr. Bainbridge,
- who does... - Dah-dah dah-dah dah-dah...
- Stay tuned for "People's Court". - That's it! You blew it.
- It's finished! - One minute to Wapner!
One minute to Wapner, one minute to Wapner. I had you in there, Ray!
- Dad-dah dah-dah... - You had it all!
They are in there making legal history!
- Legal history! - Oh, boy!
- What is going on out here?
I'm sorry, ma'am. I lied. I'm very sorry about that.
That man is my brother. If he doesn't watch People's Court, he'll throw a fit.
You can help me, or you can stand and watch it happen.
We like to watch cartoons. Do you think he'd settle for that?
...then she sees an identical twin.
True, he didn't have his shirt on. The other one did.
But they sure look alike to me.
- Honey, I've got Monkey Man. - I want my daddy!
Daddy's not here right now, darling.
Come here. Here, sweetheart.
Listen, Ken, work with me on this one. I'll take care of it.
You know that song?
...so my judgment is for the defendant.
We'll be back right after these messages.
- My credit card's been rejected? - Yes, sir.
- How much is this gonna cost? - $20, sir.
Course, I'm never going back. It's definitely a long journey.
- Just a couple of more days. - Yeah. Then who's playing first?
- The fella playing first base for St Louis? - You gonna start with this again?
- You gotta do this every time? - That's the man's name. Whose name?
What are you asking me for? I'm not asking you, I'm telling you. Who's on first.
No. You know, Ray, this is not... It's not a riddle.
You know the fella's name? Then who's playing first?
You're never gonna figure out who's on first base, cos Who is on first base.
That's the joke. It's comedy.
Sometimes his wife comes down and collects it. Whose wife? Every dollar of it.
- Have you got a first baseman? - It's an Abbott and Costello routine.
When you do it, you're not funny. You're the comedy team of Abbott and Abbott!
Sometimes his wife comes down and collects it. Whose wife? Yeah.
Ray. Ray, Ray, Ray.
You are never gonna solve it. You know why?
Cos it's not a riddle, man.
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.
Have you got a first baseman on first? Yeah. Then who's playing first? Yeah.
Who's playing... You know the fella's name? Yeah.
Then who's playing first? Yeah. The fella playing first base for St Louis.
Who? The guy on first. Who, the first base? Who is on first.
What are you asking me for? Have you got a first baseman on first?
All right, come on. We'll put the bed by the window the way you like it.
We've got your apple juice, we'll take the pens and paper out and put it on the table.
- What's the matter? I forget something? - Cheese balls.
- Definitely cheese balls. - I forgot cheese balls.
I have to have 12 cheese balls. Have to get my tartar control toothpaste.
- I got that a couple of days ago. - Where's my toothpaste?
Raymond.
Remember when that doctor asked you the number questions?
- Yeah. - How did you do that?
- I see it. - Huh?
- I see it. - What's that?
- Would you stop that for a second? - I see it.
Put that down. I'm trying to talk to you.
When I say stop, why don't you stop? Why do you have to act like an idiot?
- Huh? - Yeah.
- You think that's funny? - Yeah. Funny Rain Man. Funny teeth.
- What did you say? - Funny teeth.
Rinse.
Why did you say... why did you say "Funny teeth"?
You said "Funny teeth, funny Rain Man."
- "Rain Man"? I said "Rain Man"? - Yeah, "funny Rain Man".
Was I trying to say "Raymond" and it came out "Rain Man"?
"Funny Rain Man."
You? You're the Rain Man?
- Who took this picture? - D-A-D.
And you lived with us?
Yeah. 10961 Beechcrest Street, Cincinnati, Ohio.
When, uh... when did you leave?
- January 21st, 1965. - You... you remember that?
It was Thursday. Very snowy out. 7,2 inches of snow that day.
- That's just after Mom died. - Yeah. Mom died January 5th, 1965.
And you remember that day that you left?
Short and sudden illness.
- You remember that day? - Yeah.
Was I there? Where was I?
You were in the window. You waved to me. "Bye-bye, Rain Man. Bye-bye."
So you... you... you were the one that sang to me?
Yeah.
What... what did you sing? What was that song...?
What did you sing?
- Did I like it when you sang to me? - Yeah.
Did we sing any other songs... like the Beatles?
Yeah.
Ohhh!
Scary! Scary bad! Scary bad!
Scary bad!
- Scary bad! - What... what's scary bad?
Hot water! Hot water burn baby!
- Water! - "Hot water burn baby"?
- What baby? Me? - Yeah.
- Easy, easy.
- Hot water... hot water burn baby. - I'm not burned.
I'm not burned. Look at me.
- Water burn baby! Hot water burn baby! - I'm not burned!
- Tub burn baby. - I'm not burned.
Yeah.
I'm not burned. It's OK.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
It's OK.
Time for Wallbrook now.
That's why they put you away. They thought you would hurt me.
What? What?
What, Ray?
What?
Come on. It's 11 o'clock, Ray. Lights out.
Yeah.
Never hurt Charlie Babbitt. Never, never hurt Charlie Babbitt.
Here you go. Right where you like it, 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, I, uh...
I just want to hear it's not over. I mean, uh... I'm scared it's over.
Don't ask me tonight. I don't know what to say.
- Let it sit. - That's something I'm not real good at.
There's a lot of things you're not good at.
- I'll call you when I get back, OK? - Uh-huh.
- I'll see you. - Ciao.
What are you looking at that for? I spend $200 on a TV and you're watching a dryer.
I don't know.
At the shrink hearing, we'll have to prove
that you prefer to watch this little TV as opposed to the clothes dryer.
- Are you listening to me? - Yeah.
Turn this off when you're not watching it.
You run down the batteries, where are you gonna be when Wapner's on?
- Yeah, the red one always falls the same. - Why aren't you listening to me?
You want to go back to Wallbrook, is that it? Huh?
I gotta make a phone call.
- Yeah, Lenny, it's me... - I've been sitting here for three hours!
- I had some things to do. - Charlie, we are in serious trouble!
- Serious trouble! - Just take it easy.
I'm in Tucumcari...
They repossessed the cars to pay off the loan.
The cars are gone, Charlie. Gone!
Bateman wants his down payment back. They all do. That's 80 thou, Charlie!
80.000... I don't have it.
You gotta pay the se people back, or it's all over. We're out of business.
- What am I gonna I tell them? - I don't know.
Son of a bitch!
This'd be a lot easier if you'd let me put the top up.
Wouldn't have to fry. Put this lotion on so you don't burn.
Ray, don't start with that. You want me to put the top up?
- Definitely like the top down. - I know. Now, I don't want you to burn.
Definitely like it when the top's... Ow. Ooh...
It's all right. Just take it easy. It's almost over.
- Uh-huh. Now, how's that feel? - Very slippery.
Maldonado swings, and hits a hot shot into center field.
One runner's in. Here's Brenly going to third. The throw by Davis.
Not in time! Brenly in safely at third base on Maldonado's single.
Looks like he held that ball out a little too long, Ed.
We'll take a look at it once again.
Treadwell, of course, playing way over towards the right side.
Shading it to pull.
OK, here's Davis.
Yeah, he seems to hold it there just a bit, Tom.
Sort of double-pumped it. Watch it here on the replay again.
He loses all chance of a play on Brenly,
even though Brenly doesn't exactly pick 'em up and lay 'em down.
And the throw into third base, finally, is a little big high. Just a tad.
- Will you give me a break with this? - I can't.
Ray, stop it.
J7.
- K7? What's that? - J7.
What's J7?
The song? The song's J7?
Yeah.
Look out there.
No, Raymond, out here.
"18 Wheels and a Dozen Roses". What's the number?
E5.
"Cheating Heart", Hank Williams.
"Your Cheating Heart". Course, that's Hank Williams Junior. D1.
D1.
"Blue Moon in Kentucky", Bill Monroe.
And the Bluegrass Boys. T5.
How many toothpicks came out of that box?
246.
- Yeah. - 246.
- Are you paying attention? - Yeah.
- You watching that? - Yeah.
- You seeing that, Ray? You catching that? - Yeah. Falling on the ground.
OK. Now, what... what do I have left?
Two jacks, one eight, one king, one six,
two aces, one ten, one nine, one five.
One five. You are beautiful, man!
- I'm an excellent driver. - You can't drive now.
Listen, this is very important. When there's lots of tens left, it's good for us.
- Say it. "Tens are good." - "Tens are good."
- And you're gonna bet one... - One if it's bad,
- two if it's good. - That's right.
- Now, casinos have house rules. - Yeah.
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? That's very important. - Yeah. Counting... counting is bad.
Yes, counting is bad.
- I like to drive slow on the driveway. - You get this right, Ray,
you can drive wherever you want, as slow as you like.
I'm an excellent driver.
Miss Sue Morgan, please pick up the hotel courtesy phone.
Raymond.
- Rain Man, let's play some cards. - Yeah.
- You want a hit? - No, you don't. You've got 18.
- I want a hit. - Sir, you have 18.
- He doesn't want a hit. - I want a hit.
- Hitting 18. - Hit me, hit me, hit me!
Don't...
You took my queen. I've got a ten. I needed that queen. I can't take it!
- Sir, please don't touch the cards. - I need my own queen.
There's lots of them.
- There's lots of them? - Lots and lots.
Hold on here for a second.
I'm gonna double down.
Queen, queen, queen.
Yes, sir, you gotta love this town.
- I'm going for it, Nick. - It looks like it.
It certainly looks like it.
- D'you wanna bet one chip or two chips? - Bet two.
Bet two?
Hey, what's your secret, guys?
We cheat.
This is Sam. Tape table 47.
- About 85.000. - 85.000?
- Did you call the eye in the sky? - Sam did.
OK, I'll take over.
All right!
You're doing well. I'm happy for you, sir.
- What do you see? - He's not catching the hole card.
- He's not past posting us. - I don't see him using a computer.
He's not, but something's not right. No one can count into a six-deck shoe.
Hold it. Hold it here. Uh...
- Watch my chips. I'll be back in a second. - Go ahead, sir.
Ray, we're in the middle of a hand. You don't leave in the middle of a hand.
Come on! We are hot. The Babbitt brothers, kicking ass in Vegas!
- Wheel of Fortune. - Cleopatra and Caesar are waiting!
- "Look at this glamorous merchandise." - One for bad, two for good.
- 20. - 20?
- You mean it's gonna hit on 20? - Yeah, 20. Definitely 20.
$3.000 on 20.
- Definitely 20. - Definitely 20?
Yeah.
Uh-oh.
It's not your game, Ray. I just lost $3.000.
- Yeah. - That's $3.000 I lost. Come on, Ray.
A little black...
No? Easy. Don't start banging yourself.
- Maybe we'll play a little bit later. - Yeah.
- Let me cash in. - Yeah. Cash in.
You make me sad, Ray.
20.
We won $86.000 and some change, right, Ray?
$86.500.
$80.000 refund on the car payments, and I owe...
- What'd I say I owe to get the Rolex back? - $3500. Six months to pay.
$3500. We don't have to pay for the room, that comped. I'm free and clear.
I'm gonna take a celebration piss.
Don't go anywhere. Until I get back, the sign says "Don't Walk".
- "Don't Walk". - "Don't Walk".
Hey.
You looking for a date? Are you?
- I don't know. - What's your name?
- Raymond. - My name is Iris.
- Raymond, you like me? - I-I don't know.
You don't know? I think if you gave me a chance, you would.
Why don't we try to get to know each other?
- Yeah, get to know each other. - He doesn't have any money, honey.
That's all right, sugar, cos we are just talking.
- Yeah, we're just talking. - Let's go upstairs. What are you doing?
Getting to know each other. Just talking.
- What room? I'll bring him up. - That's all right.
Is that what you wanna do? Get to know each other?
Yeah. Get to know each other. Just talking.
This will be interesting. I'll be over here just in case.
- He doesn't seem to like me. Who is he? - He's my brother.
- He seems young to be your brother. - He was born August 12th, 19... 1962.
It was a Sunday.
What exactly do you guys do here?
- We're counting cards. - You're counting cards?
- We're counting cards. - Uh-huh.
- We're counting cards. - What else do you do?
- We're counting cards. - I know. What else do you do?
Are you taking any prescription medication?
Whoa. Look, I'm outta here.
- Course, what time is the date? - Later.
- What time? - It's ten o'clock!
I have to be in bed at 11. Lights out at 11.
Ten o'clock, daylight-saving time. Ten o'clock, daylight-saving time.
Ten o'clock? You like her, Ray? You think she's pretty?
- Yeah. She's very sparkly. - Definitely very sparkly.
Very sparkly.
He did a great job on that suit. You don't realize how good you look.
- Do you like it? - It's not Kmart.
How could you not like that suit? You look fantastic. How can you not like it?
- It's not a Kmart suit. - I'll let you in on a secret.
- Kmart sucks, OK? - Yeah.
There you go, Ray. It's the high-rollers' suite.
This is for you. You ever seen a room like this before?
- Yeah. - What's up there?
What's up there? Ray, you're not even looking.
- Yeah. Bed. - That's a bed. That's your bed.
I had 'em put it up there. Right by the window, the way you like it.
- Go on up. - Yeah.
- Just the way you like it, isn't it? - Yeah.
Look at you with all those lights. Mr. Vegas. You are Mr. Las Vegas now!
- What do you think? - There's a lot of lights.
- It's very sparkly. Very twinkly. - We made a lot of money today, Ray.
We made a lot of money!
Forgetting the $3.000 we tossed away at that wheel of fortune.
- Yeah, Wheel... Wheel of Fortune. - I'm sorry about that.
I got a little carried away. I got a little hot, OK, Ray?
Yeah.
I'm saying I'm sorry, and I just want you to know that I am sorry.
I'm apologizing. I got a little carried away.
The money... I got a little... I got a little greedy.
- You wanna say something? - I have to be at the bar at ten 'clock.
Cos I got to thank you, man. You, uh...
You did it. You did it. I was just there.
You saved my ass. I'm just... just along for the ride.
Have to be at the bar at ten o'clock. Have to go to a date with Iris.
Iris, that's her name, yeah. Big date. Gonna go dancing.
Yeah, dancing. Have to go to a date with Iris at the bar dancing.
- You know how to dance? - I don't know.
- You ought to learn some time. - Yeah. Have to learn to dance for the date.
- Have to learn to dance for the date. - I was just kidding.
- You're not gonna have to dance. - I have to learn to dance. Definitely. Now.
You don't have to dance now. I'll teach you how to dance sometime.
- Definitely have to. - No. You won't have to dance.
- Definitely have to learn. - I'm sorry I even brought this up.
- All right, Ray. My mistake. - Ten o'clock.
You got the only famous dancing hooker in Vegas.
Stand over there.
- Come over here. - Yeah.
- You hear the music? - Yeah.
Just watch my feet. Raymond, watch my feet.
Just do what I'm doing.
OK? You feel the rhythm of the music? We're just moving our feet like that.
OK. Now, you're the guy, so you're gonna have to lead.
And I'm the date, so you want to, uh...
You wanna put your left hand up like this.
- Don't stop moving. You paying attention? - Yeah.
Put your left hand up like this.
That's good. Don't stop moving. Just keep moving. That's good.
Now, you wanna take this other hand, put it around behind my back.
- You wanna learn how to dance? - Yeah.
Cos you gotta touch someone when you dance. I'm not gonna hurt you.
Just put it right there. I take my hand, I put it up here.
Watch my feet, Ray. Watch my feet. The rhythm, the rhythm.
All right?
Now, when you dance, you can't watch my feet, so you'll have to look up.
When I tell you to, I want you to just look up, real slow.
Just keep moving.
- OK, you ready? - Yeah.
- All right, start looking up. - Yeah.
A little more. Keep moving. Just a little more.
A little more, Ray. All the way up.

I just felt like giving you a hug.
What are you doing here?
- I'm unemployed. - What do you mean?
- You don't know about the business? - Yeah, I know. Come on in. It's OK.
I'm glad to see you.
Ray, look who's here.
It's not right what you're doing to Raymond.
He's fine.
I know he's fine. He's in Las Vegas in a suit, in a big room.
- It makes me sad. - Six minutes to my date.
- Six minutes to Iris. - He has a date?
Raymond, it'd be nice if you didn't carry that TV everywhere we go.
What have you gotta bring a Watchman for on a date?
- The man's dancing. - But what does your date look like?
She's very sparkly. She looks like a holiday.
- I don't think I've heard that one. - Mr. Babbitt?
- Mr. Kelso would like to see you. - I don't know Mr. Kelso.
He's director of security. Would you come with me, please?
- Sure. Susanna, stay with Raymond. - Right this way.
- 10.01. She's not here. - She'll come. She will.
Congratulations. Counting into a six-deck shoe is quite a feat.
I don't understand what you're talking about.
We make videotapes, and we analyze the tapes
and even share some of the information with other casinos.
These tapes suggest you should take your winnings and leave the state.
Mr. Kelso, someone has a good day 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.
And 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.
- It's gonna be OK. - Yeah.
Uh-oh.
- I like this music, Ray. - Elevator's stopped.
It's OK. 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.
- It's OK. Give me this. - Yeah.
- Show me. Show me how. - Yeah. 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, and 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 are tasting something very good, and very soft.
Yeah.
Like this. Close your eyes.
- It's OK, Ray. - Yeah.
- How was that? - Wet.
- Then we did it right. - Elevator's definitely stuck.
No, it's not stuck.
Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers.
- Like us. - Yeah, like us.
What'd I tell you? I promised you you could drive. This is it.
- I drive slow on the driveway. - This is OK? He can drive?
- Course, I'm an excellent driver. - He's very good in a driveway.
Ray, why don't you get in the front seat?
So I'll wait to hear from you after Raymond's meeting?
- Don't worry. It's going to be fine. - I'm nervous.
- I know. - Listen, I'm happy you came to Vegas.
I know.
Ciao.
Ray, thank you for the date in the elevator. It was really nice.
- Yeah. - Ciao.
- Yeah. - Thank you for the what?
- Nothing. Something between us. - Between us?
"Us", Ray?
Here we go, Ray. This is your bedroom up here.
Course, there's no bed there.
No, this is a magic bed. You just watch and see.
We got the table over here. We got the television.
I went to the video store. I got a little surprise for you. Picked up a video.
Don't start with that, Ray.
It's not just another place, Ray. This is my place.
Who's on first? That's the man's name. That's whose name? The first baseman.
Who is on first. You got a first baseman? Certainly. Then who's playing first?
When you pay off the first baseman, who gets the money?
- Why not? The man's entitled to it. - Who is?
Who is?
- So who gets it? - Why should he?
- Sometimes his wife collects it. - Whose wife?
- Yes! - Oooooh.
- After all, he earns it. - Who does?
Absolutely.
All I'm trying to find out is what's the guy's name on first base?
What is on second base.
- Don't you think this is funny? - Yes, this is funny.
- Where'd you see this first? - Dad gave me a book of baseball trivia.
- 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.
No.
I just got into town. As you know, the psychological interview is tomorrow.
- Yes, sir, I know that. - We should get together and talk.
I really 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 the psychiatric evaluation.
- I gave him boxes of files on Raymond. - Well, good luck.
Look, this isn't a close call. It's a formality.
- Your brother's a very disabled individual. - So Marston's gonna rule against me?
I'm telling you it's always been a lost cause.
Then why did you call me?
Your father put me in charge of all the money, all right?
And it doesn't matter whether or not you win custody.
I won't have to pay you a dime. It's at my discretion, not the court's.
- What, so you can't lose? - I can lose. I can lose Raymond.
And I care about his life and the treatment he receives.
I made a commitment to your father, and I'm not willing to gamble with that.
- What is this? - It's a very big cheque.
$250.000.
And no strings attached. You just walk away, Charlie.
You know, this isn't about you and me. It's not about winning or losing.
When I asked you why didn't anyone ever tell me I had a brother,
you didn't have an answer.
I don't know...
It's funny, I just realized I'm not pissed off that my father cut me out of his will.
You were his friend. You probably knew he tried to contact me.
I never called him back. I was a prick.
If my son didn't return my calls, I'd have written him out. Fuck him.
But it's not about the money any more. It's...
I just don't understand. Why didn't he tell me I had a brother?
Why didn't you tell me? Why didn't anyone ever tell me I had a brother?
Because it would've been nice to know him for more than just the past six days.
Ray, Ray, Ray!
Ray! Ray!
Ray! Come on.
It's stopped! It's all right.

Ohh... V-E-R-N... Vern.
Uh-oh.

- What kind do you want? - Pancakes.
- Yeah, but what kind? - Pancakes.
Course, maple syrup's supposed to be on the table...
Ray? Ta-da!
- Charlie Babbitt made a joke. - I made a joke.
Step back a little.
Hello?
Why don't you go sit down over there?
Hello?
In this kind of legal proceeding, there's no lawyers, no judge,
just the people who care about Raymond.
Raymond, have a seat over there. Mr. Babbitt, the other side of the table.
- Raymond, right here. Take this seat. OK? - Ray, put your knapsack on the floor.
This is a good opportunity to be honest...
And the TV, Ray. Ray, the TV? On the floor.
- I'm sorry. - Yeah...
I don't know any easier way to say this, Mr. Babbitt...
Say what? Have I lost already?
No, you haven't lost. I'm just a doctor 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,
and Wallbrook is one of the finest institutions we have.
You guys have made up your mind. See you in court.
My brother came further with me in a week than he did with you in 20 years!
You don't know anything about us!
I don't think it's necessary to challenge Dr. Bruner.
What happened this past week, Raymond?
- We... - I was asking Raymond.
Raymond? What happened this past week? What did you do?
- Counted cards in Las Vegas. - Counted cards?
- Your brother took you to Las Vegas? - $3.000 on the wheel of fortune.
- He gave you $3.000 to gamble with? - Lost $3.000 on... pitiful 20.
- What else did you do? - Bet on number 20.
- What else did you do? - Danced with Charlie Babbitt.
Danced with your brother?
Danced in the elevator with Susanna. Kissed Susanna.
- You kissed Susanna? - In the elevator.
- Did you enjoy kissing a woman? - I don't know.
- How did it feel? - It f-f-felt wet.
- Wet? - Yeah.
- Quite a trip, huh? - Yeah.
- Do you enjoy being on the road? - I'm an excellent driver.
- You drove? - Yeah.
- Brother let you drive on the highway? - Slow on the driveway.
- He didn't drive on the highway. - Uh-huh.
- Did he have any emotional outbursts? - Such as?
Things they tend to do. Inflicting bodily harm on themselves...
- OK. Yeah, a couple of times. - A couple of times.
OK. He had what you call an outburst because he didn't wanna fly.
- So we didn't fly. - When was the last outburst?
- This morning. - This morning?
This is bullshit. I could tell you anything, you'd never know the difference.
This morning the smoke alarm went off. He got a little nervous, but...
- Don't feel that I'm placing blame. - We went out for pancakes. Look at him...
- You don't have to be defensive about it. - I'm just being honest.
- I think you're missing the point. - I think you are.
The point I was trying to make is I'm not placing blame.
I had a father I hardly knew, a mother I never knew,
I find out a few days ago 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? This is my family.
- My family. Do you understand? - I understand.
You do have a brother, but he's 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 take on that responsibility without guidance.
- That's your opinion, Dr. Bruner. - Yes, it is.
There's a couple of things I'd like to go over. Dr. Bruner states a week ago,
you stole Raymond out of the institution to trade him for $1,5 million.
My father died. I was upset. That was wrong.
So you've suddenly found some devotion to your brother,
and you wanna take care of him?
- Yes. - Mm-hm.
So the beginning was like a kidnapping.
That's very strong. I didn't kidnap my brother.
But in the course of the week, you came to have an understanding with him?
- Yes. - Mm-hm.
Look, that... I understand that this sounds irrational to you.
- Yes, when it started out... - Don't feel compelled to be defensive.
- Can I talk? I'd like to talk. - Yes, you can.
- Thank you. - There's no accusations. Go ahead.
No accusations?
You have to understand that when we started out together,
that he was only my brother in name.
Mm-hm.
And as...
And this morning, we had pancakes.
Maple syrup. Maple syrup on the... maple syrup on the table.
- And pancakes. - And Charlie Babbitt made a joke.
You see, we...
I made a connection.
That's very admirable, but the purpose of this meeting
is to determine whether Raymond is capable of functioning in the community,
and what he wants, if that's possible to determine.
- I'm all for that. - Raymond can't make those decisions.
- You're wrong. - You know he can't decide for himself.
- He's capable of more than you know. - Why don't we ask Raymond?
- Can I ask you a few questions? - Ray, the doctor's talking to you.
- Can I ask you a few questions? - Yeah.
Do you want to stay with your brother Charlie?
Raymond, would you like to stay with Charlie in Los Angeles?
Ray? The doctor's asking you a question,
- so you listen, OK? - Yeah.
Raymond, do you want to stay with your brother Charlie?
- Do you want to stay with your brother? - Yeah.
- You do? - Yeah.
- You wanna stay with your brother? - Yeah. Stay with 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.
Can you make a distinction between your brother and Wallbrook?
- Yeah. - Hm?
Raymond, do you want to stay with Charlie here in Los Angeles,
- or do you want to go back to Wallbrook? - Yeah.
They're two separate things. Stay with your brother or go back to Wallbrook?
Make a choice.
Go back to Wallbrook. Stay with Charlie Babbitt.
- No, make that choice. One or the other. - Stay back to Wallbrook.
All right, all right, just hold on a minute!
- Stay back to Wallbrook... - All right. You've made your point.
You don't have to humiliate him. Ray, it's OK.
- 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 OK, Ray? - Yeah.
- You don't want any more questions. - No.
No.
I don't know.
- You don't want any more questions. - No.
Don't worry. There's not going to be any more questions. No more questions.
Yeah. Main man.
- What? - My main man.
Listen...
I really 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'll probably gonna want to take you back with him.
- You know? - Yeah.
I just want you to know that 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.
Yeah.
C-H-A-R-L-I-E.
Main man.
Your attention, please.

Ray? Ray!
...Las Vegas, Salt Lake City, Denver, Omaha, Chicago...
- 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 ya, Charlie.
- You made a joke, Ray. - Yeah. Ha-ha-ha-ha!
I guess I'd better give this to you. You're gonna have to carry this now.
It's got your cheese balls, your apple juice,
notebooks, pens, and the "Who's on First?" video that you like.
- "Who's on First?". Very funny. - I told you, it's funny.
All aboard!
- You'd better get going. - Yeah. Very shiny train.
Yeah, it sure is.
Listen, Ray. Dr. Bruner only has custody of you.
That doesn't mean I can't visit. I'm coming to see you in two weeks.
- How many days is that? - 14 days. Today's Wednesday.
Hours?
- 336 hours. - Mystifying!
Course, that's 20.160 minutes.
1.209.600 seconds.
Ray?
Ray!
Yeah?
I'll see you soon.
Yeah. One for bad, two for good.
- Bet two for good. - Yeah.
Course, three minutes to Wapner.
You'll make it.
Yeah.
