I spoke to Mr. Babbitt on that just this morning.
I'm stiII sitting on four Lamborghinis
that can't meet the smog emission standards.
How many times you wash out with EPA?
Yes, they're finaIIy cIearing EPA. Just one or two more days.
Three times? We're reaIIy on a roII here.
Four cars, three times each. That's zip for 1 2.
Are you a mechanic or a NASA engineer?
I toId you I've never deaIt with these Lamborghinis before,
yet you assured me you couId deIiver within that time frame.
Don't teII me that, 'cause I'm not Iistening.
Sir, I hardIy think that's necessary.
I'II expIain that to my swing Ioan. I'm sure he'II be sympathetic.
I'm into him for 200,000. That's three zeros.
I've got aII my money tied up in these cars.
If I don't get my money out, I am finished. You understand?
You have to understand our situation.
I don't give a shit. I've got sharks snapping at my heeIs.
They couId've taken the car and my business 1 1 days ago.
I'm under coIIateraI, for God's sake.
I understand, I know deIivery is way overdue.
Fuckin' EPA-- whoIe worId is choking on smog,
and they're gonna correct the situation
by keeping my four cars off the road?
Babbitt CoIIectibIes.
Have you tried cash? How much can these EPA guys earn in a week?
CharIie, it's Wyatt.
About the swing Ioan.
If he doesn't get the money by 5:30, he's gonna seize aII the cars.
I'm gonna have to caII you back.
You shouId taIk to Mr. Babbitt on this.
TeII him I signed a check on Tuesday,
you watched me sign it, then you gave it to the maiI girI.
Come on! I need this!
Come on!
I wouIdn't do that untiI you taIk to Mr. Babbitt personaIIy.
A number for him? He's on the road just now.
He wants you to caII him immediateIy.
TeII him I'm arriving 1 :30 a.m., can he Ieave a number?
What, Lenny? TaIk to me.
Mr. Bateman wants to back out and take Mr. Webb with him.
They want their down payments back.
They found two cars at VaIIey Motors, and they want to go that way.
TeII him that was me on the other Iine,
the cars passed emissions, the EPA paperwork wiII be here momentariIy.
- You paying attention? - I'm Iistening.
TeII them I'm knocking off five grand on both their deaIs
because I appreciate their patience.
- Do you understand? - I've got it.
Mr. Bateman, that was Mr. Babbitt on the other Iine.
As it happens, the cars are passing emissions--
What am I saying-- the cars have passed emissions.
We're waiting for the EPA paperwork-- we'II have that momentariIy.
And because of your incredibIe patience,
we're going to knock off $5,000 on each car.
WeII, yes, you've been most patient.
We reaIIy appreciate your patience.
WeII, thank you.
Thank you.
Ready for PaIm Springs?
You stiII want to go with aII these probIems?
We're seconds away from cIosing this deaI, cIearing 75 grand.
Not bad for a coupIe of phone caIIs.
Not bad at aII.
You know where to find us, right, Lenny?
Right. I got it under controI.
Listen, I don't want to be demanding here,
but couId you possibIy say, I don't know, 10 or 1 2 words
before we get to the hoteI?
Consider it forepIay.
Can you incIude me in some of your thoughts?
I'm just thinking.
Nothing speciaI. I'm just thinking.
Maybe there's something you're thinking about that we can taIk.
If there was something to taIk about, Susanna, we'd be taIking.
I'm just thinking. What's the big to-do about me thinking here?
I just feeI Iike I'm going away for a few days with someone.
CaII me crazy.
You wanna taIk, Iet's taIk. How was your day?
- I don't want to taIk! - No, Iet's taIk!
I feeI Iike you're excIuding me. It's not that I want to taIk.
One of these again. How did we get back to one of these?
I don't know why I put up with aII this.
You wanted to go to PaIm Springs, and we're going.
But I didn't want to go aIone.
I've been sitting in this car for more than an hour and a haIf--
You want to taIk, Iet's taIk!
This is not taIking, this is you going Iike--
Yeah.
Charlie. this is Lerry.
h've beer tryirg to cortact you for a while.

Your father has died. Charlie.
h'm sorry. The fureral's tomorrow ir Circirrati.
He said you'd krow where. h've got his rumber.
That's not necessary. Anything eIse?
No. that's it. Lister. if there's arythirg h car do--
AII right.
- Sorry about the weekend, hon. - CharIie, the weekend?
Look, I toId you before, we had a faIIing out a Iong time ago.
My mother died when I was two. It was just him and me.
We just didn't get aIong.
- You're going to the funeraI, no? - Yeah.
I'm coming with you.
That's reaIIy sweet, but there's reaIIy no point.
I want to. That's the point.
AII right, I'm sorry. I forgot who I was taIking to.
...for our memory, admiration, and respect for him
wiII Iive beyond the years of his Iife on Earth.
Let us consecrate ourseIves to foIIow his exampIe of zest for Iife,
dedication to famiIy, and charity to aII.
And now, with sure and certain hope of resurrection,
we commend to you the souI of our departed friend.
Just have to go over the detaiIs of the wiII tonight, then we're outta here.
Sure, I can wait in the car if you Iike.
Somebody shouId be watering those roses--they're aII dying.
I knew this car my whoIe Iife. OnIy drove it once.
It's a 1949 Buick Roadmaster convertibIe.
OnIy 8,000 production modeIs made. Straight-8. FirebaII-8.
It was the first fuII year of the DynafIow transmission.
I know it by rote.
You were his onIy chiId.
You came aIong when he was, what, 45 or something?
ProbabIy thought he was never going to have a son.
So he had to Iove you.
I think you're exaggerating.
You were his chiId, his son, his bIood.
Anyway, in these pictures here,
he doesn't Iook Iike a man who doesn't Iove his chiId.
Put that away.
- You wanna hear a story? - But don't get mad.
You know the convertibIe? His baby. That and the goddamn roses.
Buick.
The car was off-Iimits to me. ''That's a cIassic,'' he'd say.
''It commands respect. It's not for chiIdren.''
Tenth grade, I'm 16 years oId, and for once,
I bring home a report card and it's aImost aII A's.
I go to my oId man, ''Can I take the car out?''
Take the guys out in the Buick, sort of a victory drive.
He says no. I take it anyway.
I steaI the keys, I sneak it out.
You took the car with no permission?
Why? Why then?
Because I deserved it.
Nothing I did was good enough for this guy.
Don't you understand that?
We're on CoIumbia Parkway, four kids.
- We get puIIed over. - An accident?
PuIIed over.
- What is puIIed over? PoIice? - Yes, poIice.
Can I finish?
He caIIed in a report of a stoIen car--
not his son took the car without permission--just stoIen.
CentraI station, the other guys' dads baiI them out in an hour,
he Ieft me there two days.
- He Ieft you in prison for two days? - Two days.
Were you scared?
Yeah, I was scared.
Left home. I never saw him again.
CharIie, after a year we've been together,
this is the first time I've heard this story.
It's strange.
How can you keep aII this inside you and not say anything?
When I was a kid and got scared,
the Rain Man wouId come and sing to me.
''Rain'' what?
One of those imaginary chiIdhood friends.
- What happened to him? - Nothing. I just grew up.
Not so much.
''And I remember, too, the day you Ieft home,
''so fuII of bitterness and grandiose ideas,
''so fuII of yourseIf.
''And being raised without a mother,
''the hardness of your heart is understandabIe, as weII.
''Your refusaI to even pretend that you Ioved or respected me,
''aII these I forgive.
''But your faiIure to write, to teIephone,
''to reenter my Iife in any way, has Ieft me without a son.
''I wish you aII I ever wanted for you.
I wish you the best.''
''I hereby bequeath to my son, CharIes Sanford Babbitt,
''that certain Buick convertibIe,
''the very car that, unfortunateIy, brought our reIationship to an end.
''AIso, outright titIe to my prizewinning hybrid rosebushes.
''May they remind him of the vaIue of exceIIence
''and the possibiIity of perfection.
''As for my home and aII other property, reaI and personaI,
''these shaII be pIaced in trust in accordance with the terms
of that certain instrument executed concurrentIy herewith.''
The Iast part, what does that mean?
It means that the estate,
in excess of $3 miIIion after expenses and taxes,
wiII go into a trust fund
for a beneficiary to be named in this document.
- Who is that? - I'm afraid I can't teII you that.
- Who controIs the money? You? - It's caIIed a trustee.
What is that? How does that work?
Forgive me, but there's nothing more I can say.
Now, I'm sorry, son. I can see you're disappointed.
Why shouId I be disappointed?
I got rosebushes, didn't I? I got a used car, didn't I?
What's-his-name got-- what'd you caII him?
- Beneficiary. - Right. He got $3 MiIIion.
But he didn't get the rosebushes. I got the rosebushes.
I definiteIy got the rosebushes.
There is no need--
To what? To be upset?
To be upset?
If there is a HeII, sir, my father is in it,
and he is Iooking up right now and he is Iaughing his ass off.
Sanford Babbitt--you want to be that guy's son for five minutes?
Did you hear that Ietter? Were you Iistening?
Yes, sir, I was. Were you?
No. CouId you repeat it? 'Cause I can't beIieve my fuckin' ears.
I was Iooking for you.
How did it go?
I got what I expected.
This couId take a few minutes.
- Can I heIp you? - Yes, I think you can.
I have a probIem with a private trust--
- That's a terrific suit. - Thank you.
My father was Sanford Babbitt...
Is this WaIIbrook?
Excuse me. Is this WaIIbrook?
Excuse me.
Dr. Bruner is stiII in conference.
WouId you Iike to wait in his outer office?
No, we'II stay here. Thank you.
Maybe we're not supposed to be Iooking around here, no?
Good to have you here. Good luck to all three of you.
$20 starts you all off or a very importart match.
hr what 1 980 comedy film did Goldie Hawr get away from it all?
Private Benjamin.
Excuse me, pIease. I want to watch the TV, pIease.
For whose grardsor
was the presidertial retreat Camp David ramed? Lisa?
- Eiserhower. - That's right. David Eiserhower.
You've got arother five. $ 1 0 lead for Lisa.
hr days of yore. what would a swashbuckler keep ir his sheath ?
Whatever this is, I don't understand the point of secrecy.
The patient is an oId girIfriend of my father's?
I knew your father since you were two years oId.
The year my mother died.
I'm trustee of the fund, but this hospitaI receives nothing from that.
That hardIy seems fair. That's something we couId discuss.
I took on this burden out of IoyaIty to your father.
That's where my IoyaIty ends.
And you think I shouId feeI a IittIe of that IoyaIty?
I think you feeI cheated out of your birthright
by a man who had difficuIty showing Iove.
And if I were in your shoes, I'd probabIy feeI the same.
I was hoping you wouId expIain my father's side of it,
heIp me understand the right in what he's done,
because, faiIing that, I have responsibiIities of my own,
and they have to be met, even if that means a fight.
I'm sorry, this is not your car. It's my boyfriend's.
My dad Iets me drive sIow on the driveway.
I'm an exceIIent driver.
Are you sure that you drive this car?
There's 28 miIes on the odometer since I drove it a week ago Saturday.
- ShouId be more than 28 miIes. - Look, my boyfriend is coming.
'Course, today's Monday.
I aIways drive on Saturday, never drive on Monday.
- Who is this guy? - He jumped into the car.
WeII, he can jump out.
- I'm an exceIIent driver. - That's good. Come on.
Why did you Iet him in? It's not a toy.
He says he drives this car.
Dad Iets me drive sIow on the driveway every Saturday.
'Course, the seats were originaIIy brown Ieather, now they're pitifuI red.
You know, these seats were brown Ieather.
- You know this car? - I know this car.
How do you know this car?
DefiniteIy know this car. It's a 1949 Buick Roadmaster.
Straight-8, FirebaII-8. OnIy 8,095 production modeIs.
Dad Iets me drive sIow on the driveway, but not on Mondays.
- DefiniteIy not on Monday. - Who's your dad?
- Sanford Babbitt. - Sanford Babbitt?
10961 Beechcrest Street, Cincinnati, Ohio.
That's my address. What is it with this guy?
- Who's your mother? - EIeanor Babbitt.
Died January 5, 1965, after a short--
Who the heII are you?
Wait, where are you going?
1 3 minutes to Judge Wapner and The People's Court.
Wait a second, I want to ask you a question.
Hey, I'm taIking to you!
Bruner, who is this guy?
Raymond is your brother.
My brother? I don't have a brother.
''...have their dispute settIed here in our forum,
The People's Court. ''
''The People's Court. ''
The People's Court.
Hello. h'm Doug Llewelyr.
ard welcome to The PeopIe's Court.
- Is he crazy? - No.
- Is he retarded? - Not exactIy.
- But he's here. - He's an autistic savant.
I don't know what that means.
Some peopIe Iike him used to be caIIed idiot savants.
They have certain deficiencies, certain abiIities.
- Yeah, but he's retarded. - Autistic. ActuaIIy, high-functioning.
What does that mean?
It means there's a disabiIity
that impairs the sensory input and how it's processed.
EngIish here. You're taIking over my head.
Raymond has a probIem communicating and Iearning.
He can't even express himseIf
or probabIy even understand his own emotions in a traditionaI way.
...ard after that. the dog bit him.
h yelled at my dog. the dog laid dowr...
There are dangers everywhere for Raymond.
Routines, rituaIs-- it's aII he has to protect himseIf.
RituaIs. That's a good one.
It's the way he acts, sIeeps, eats,
uses the bathroom, waIks, taIks, everything.
Any break from the routines, and it's terrifying.
- How Iong has he been here? - WeII, I came here in 1960.
No, how oId is he?
He was 1 8 or 20 then. I'd have to check records--
- You've been here that Iong? - That's when I actuaIIy started.
'65, '75, '85-- I was aImost three years oId.
You knew he had a brother, you knew I was his brother.
Yes, but what's the point?
What's the point? What's the fuckin' point?
Why didn't anybody teII me I had a brother?
What wouId you have done about it?
I don't know.
Does he know how much money he's been Ieft?
He doesn't understand the concept of money.
He's just inherited $3 miIIion,
and he doesn't understand the concept of money?
That is fucking poetic, don't you think?
Good oId Dad.
Who's pIaying first? Yes.
The feIIow's name on first base. Who.
The feIIow pIaying first base for St. Louis. Who.
What is this? Why is he doing that?
Whenever he gets nervous, he does ''Who's On First?''
- From Abbott and CosteIIo. - Why?
It's his way of deaIing with you touching his books and stuff.
So he memorized ''Who's On First?''
Yeah, that among other things.
Raymond, Ted KIuszewski.
Ted KIuszewski, Big KIew, first base.
He pIayed for Cincinnati.
'Course, he was traded for Dee Fondy, 1957.
- Lifetime batting average .298. - AII these books. He reads, huh?
Reads and remembers whatever he gets his hands on.
V-E-R-N! 'Course, these peopIe are gonna be here aII day.
This is an unannounced visit, Vern.
This is definiteIy not a weekend visit, Vern.
He's getting anxious. It's okay, Ray!
V-E-R-N, this is an unannounced visit.
Put it back. He said not to touch the books.
Not to touch books.
- You Iike Shakespeare? - I don't know.
- Did you read aII this? - I don't know. Vern.
- Did you read Macbeth ? - I don't know.
- You read Hamlet? - I don't know.
- The Twelfth Night? - Stop it!
- Yes. - Yes?
You read aII the stories that are in this book,
and you don't know if you read the book?
- I don't know. V-E-R-N. - You don't know?
Maybe you better put it back.
You don't know. Okay. No, Ray, take it easy.
I'm not going to-- I won't touch anything eIse.
It's ok, Ray. It's okay. Come on. My main man.
Vern, my main man. My main man, Vern.
It's okay, Ray.
- My main man. - Yeah, my main man.
Here are your cards.
I'm sorry, I didn't know where you want me to put them.
Are you taking any prescription medication?
He Iikes you. That's just his way of showing it.
When I touched him before, he puIIed away.
Don't take it personaI. He never touched me.
I'm cIoser to him than anybody in the worId.
Known him for nine years. It's not in him.
If I Ieft town tomorrow and didn't say goodbye,
he'd never notice.
He wouIdn't notice if you Ieave?
I'm not sure, but I don't think peopIe are his first priority.
Hey, Ray, you want to go take a waIk?
Can he hear us when he's Iike that?
You wanna show your brother your ducks?
'Course, it's 27 minutes to Jeopardy!
Don't worry, Ray, we'II bring you right back.
PracticaIIy 26 minutes to Jeopardy!
- We'II bring him right back. - 26 minutes to Jeopardy!
I won't do it. I won't do it!
First of aII, because of your tone of voice, this commanding--
You're upset. Just caIm down.
Raymond, I'm going to taIk to Susanna aIone.
Goodbye, Raymond.
Just hoId on. I'II be right back.
No, just stay. Just stay there.
Just stand stiII, okay?
That's good.
I'II do it if you teII me why-- why do I do--
What?
Why do I have to take the car and go down there,
and wait for you again at the gate?
I've been waiting for you for days. Why?
It's for Raymond. The car disturbs him.
- That's why? - That's why.
What are you Iooking at? The ducks are over here.
I don't know.
Listen, our father died.
Did you know that he died Iast week, did they teII you that?
I don't know.
You don't know if they toId you, or you don't know what dead is?
That means he's gone. He's at the cemetery.
You want to go see him at the cemetery, Ray?
I don't know.
Does that mean maybe? Maybe you wanna go?
I don't know.
I Iive in Los AngeIes.
I thought maybe you'd Iike to see a Dodger game.
Go see the Dodgers pIay.
- Today's an off day. - We don't have to go today.
Monday. No games scheduIed.
Just thought you'd Iike to go to Los AngeIes with me,
go see Fernando VaIenzueIa pitch.
VaIenzueIa pitched Saturday. Not scheduIed to pitch tiII Wednesday.
He's gonna pitch on Wednesday?
I'm not doing anything on Wednesday.
- Yeah, Wednesday. - Let's go to L.A.
Come on, Ray.
'Course, it's a Iong way to CaIifornia.
I'm definiteIy not supposed to be off the grounds for more than two hours.
DefiniteIy have to be back in two hours.
Wait tiII you get there. The peopIe, crowds cheering. You'II Iove it.
Have to be back in two hours.

To the Ieft is Raymond's room. Look at this beautifuI room.
This is definiteIy not my room.

LittIe guy! This is gonna be terrific.
Dr. Bruner wants us to spend time together.
We're gonna have fun.
- What did he say? - He said that.
I don't have my tapioca pudding. We have tapioca pudding for dessert.
We can do that. I'm gonna caII Lenny.
This is definiteIy not my room, and I don't have my pudding,
and the bed's in the wrong pIace.
You can move it.
- Where do you want the bed? - ShouId be near the window.
'Course, I don't have my books. 'Course, there's no booksheIves.
I'm definiteIy out of books. I'm gonna be bookIess.
Here's a book.
Big teIephone book, Iot of words.
Lenny, pick up, wiII you?
I got $200,000 about to go in the shithouse,
and he doesn't wanna answer the phone.
What is it--6:00 here, that means it's 9:00 there.

It's 3:00 there. He doesn't want to answer the phone?
Orange soda.
Has to be in a can with a straw.
Bruner toId you that you shouId do this?
- It doesn't make sense. - I know what's good for him.
V-E-R-N!

Room service, 321 . I'd Iike to order a Iarge pizza.
Pepperoni, right?
I don't want pepperoni.
That's right. A Iarge pepperoni.
- How Iong's that going to take? - 20 mirutes.
Bring some beer up for two, and an orange soda.
And tapioca pudding-- you got tapioca pudding?
Just bring the cIosest thing.
Here, Ray. Take this. Food is coming shortIy.
I'II be right back.
'Course, I'm going to be here for a Iong time. A very Iong time.
I'm gone for good from my home.
What is that?
I think Raymond is in the room.
What? Raymond, are you in here?
WeII, get out! Get out!
- Go! - Stop it!
Jesus--
Stop it. Go in there with him.
Come on, go in there. He's your brother.
He's afraid. He doesn't understand this.
Come on, go in there!
Raymond, what were you doing in my room?
What were you doing in my room?
- I don't know. - You don't know?
'Course, there were noises.
Those noises are none of your business, you understand?
Put the phone book down,
stop acting Iike an idiot, and go to sIeep.
Did you hear what I said? Go to sIeep! Go to sIeep!
It's nine minutes to 1 1 :00 Lights out at 1 1 :00.
WeII, new ruIes.
You don't Iisten to me! You don't Iisten to me!
What are you taIking about?
I asked you to go apoIogize. You went and insuIted him again!
What am I supposed to do, tuck him in? I'm not his mother.
You're his brother. His brother!
They teII you today that you have a brother,
and I don't see in your face one IittIe reaction.
I'm not saying joy, I'm saying somethirg.
You don't know what I'm going through here.
No, I don't know what you're going through.
I don't know because you don't teII me anything.
You just give me Iies.
Lies? What Iies?
This thing that Dr. Bruner asked you to bring him here, this is buIIshit.
I know it's not true. Why don't you teII me why he's here?
Because I'm pissed at him. At my father.
You're pissed at your father, and you bring Raymond here. Why?
'Cause I got him and they want him.
This makes no sense!
Raymond was Ieft aII the money, and I got nothing.
$3 miIIion. The inheritance, every penny of it.
I'm gonna keep him tiII I get my haIf! I deserve that!
What is this?
- Just take it easy. - I've had enough.
You've had enough? What does that mean?
I'm Ieaving.
You're Ieaving? You're Ieaving me now? I need you.
What? You need nobody.
What does that mean?
What? Just take it easy. What is my crime here?
Your crime is that you use peopIe!
You're using Raymond! You're using me!
You use everybody.
I'm using Raymond?
Am I using you? Am I using you, Raymond?
- Yeah. - Shut up!
He is answering a question from a haIf-hour ago!
What good is $3 miIIion to him?
That money is onIy just gonna sit there the rest of his Iife.
And you know I need that money!
You need it, so it's hardIy Iike steaIing!
And when it's over, what happens to Raymond?
He'II go back to WaIIbrook,

Sometimes his wife comes down and coIIects it.
Whose wife? Yeah.
Ray, you are never going to soIve it.
You know why? 'Cause it's not a riddIe.
If you understood that, if you understood that it's funny,

Now, you hear the music?
Just watch my feet.

Just do what I'm doing.
FeeI the rhythm of the music? We're just moving our feet Iike that.
Now, you're the guy, so you're gonna have to Iead.
And I'm the date, so you want to...
You want to...
Put your Ieft hand up Iike this.
Don't stop moving. You paying attention?
Don't stop moving. Put your Ieft hand up Iike this.
Left hand up. That's good.

I take my hand and put it up here.
Watch my feet, Ray. Watch my feet.

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 teIevision everywhere.

She'II come. She wiII.
CongratuIations, Mr. Babbitt.
Counting into a six-deck shoe is quite a feat.
I'm afraid I don't understand what you're taIking about.
We make videotapes, Mr. Babbitt, and we anaIyze the tapes,
and we even share some of the information with the other casinos.
These tapes suggest that you shouId take your winnings and Ieave the state.
Someone has a good day at the tabIes
and you accuse them of iIIegaI activities?
Is this how you treat aII your guests?
AII you have to do is cIose your mouth and go home.
Those are the best odds you're gonna see for a whiIe.
I'd take 'em.
Did you want to dance on your date?
There'II be other chances.
Many pretty girIs wouId Iove to dance with you.
It's gonna be okay.
- I Iike this music, Ray. - EIevator stopped.
It's okay.
Think you couId show me the way you were going to dance with Iris?
Yes?
WouId you Iike to dance with me?
- EIevator's on hoId. - It's okay. Give me this.
Show me. Show me how.
Yeah. CharIie Babbitt taught me.

You're very good.
Iris missed a beautifuI dance.
- And a kiss. - Yeah, and a kiss.
- Have you ever kissed a girI? - I don't know.
You don't know?
Open your mouth. Open.
Like this.
Like you are tasting something very good...
and very soft.
Like this.
CIose your eyes.
It's okay, Ray.
How was that?
Wet.
Then we did it right.
EIevator's definiteIy stuck.
No, it's not stuck.

This is a magic bed, Ray.
Just watch and see.
We got the tabIe over here. We got the teIevision.
Went to the video store, I got a IittIe surprise for you.
I picked up a video for you.
- Don't start. - I'm not asking, I'm teIIing you.
It's not just another pIace. This is...this is my pIace.
That's the man's name. That's whose name? Yes.

Sometimes his wife comes ard collects it.

After all. the mar earrs it.
- Who does? - Absolutely.
All h'm tryir' to fird out is what's the guy's rame or first base?

who's in charge of Raymond's psychiatric evaIuation.
I gave him boxes of fiIes on Raymond. Boxes.
WeII, good Iuck.
This isn't a cIose caII, son. It's a formaIity.
Your brother's a very disabIed individuaI.
You teIIing me Marston wiII ruIe against me?
No, I'm teIIing you it's aIways been a Iost cause.
Then what is this about? Why'd you caII me?
Your father put me in charge of aII 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, not the court's.
What, so you can't Iose?
I can Iose. I can Iose Raymond.
I care about your brother's Iife and the treatment he receives.
I made a commitment to your father 20 years ago,
and I'm not wiIIing to gambIe with that.
What is this?
It's a very big check.
$250,000.
And no strings attached. You just waIk away, CharIie.
This isn't about you and me.
It's not about winning or Iosing.
I asked you a week ago,
why didn't anyone ever teII me I had a brother.
You didn't have an answer.
I don't know.
It's funny, I just reaIized
I'm not pissed off anymore my father cut me out of his wiII.
You were his friend, you probabIy knew he tried
to contact me a few times over the years.
I never caIIed him back. I was a prick.
If he was my son, didn't return my caIIs,
I'd have written him out. Fuck him.
But it's not about the money anymore.
It's about-- I just don't understand.
Why didn't he teII me I had a brother?
Why didn't you teII me I had a brother?
Why didn't anyone ever teII me that I had a brother?
I mean...
It'd have been nice to know him for more than just the past...six days.
Come on.

CharIie Babbitt made a joke.
I made a joke, Ray.
Step back a IittIe bit, Ray.
HeIIo?
Why don't you go sit down over there?
HeIIo?
This is not a IegaI proceeding,
so there's no Iawyers, no judge present,
just the peopIe who care about Raymond.
Raymond, why don't you have a seat over there.
Mr. Babbitt, why don't you go to that side of the tabIe.
Raymond, right here. Have a seat.
Raymond, right here. Take this seat.
Ray, put your knapsack on the fIoor.
This is a good opportunity to be honest with one another--
Ray, the TV. On the fIoor.
I'm sorry.
I don't know any easy way to say this, Mr. Babbitt--
Say what? Have I Iost aIready?
No, you haven't. I'm not the judge and jury.
I'm a doctor making a recommendation to a court.
I must teII you that Dr. Bruner is a very respected professionaI.
Raymond's case has been meticuIousIy documented,
and WaIIbrook is one of the finest institutions in this country.
You've made up your mind. I'II see you in court.
No one's your enemy.
My brother came further with me in a week
than he did with you in 20 years.
I don't think it's necessary to chaIIenge Dr. Bruner.
I'm sorry.
ExactIy what happened this past week, Raymond?
- WeII, we got-- - I was asking Raymond.
Raymond, what happened this past week?
- What did you do? - Counted cards.
Counted cards in Las Vegas.
- Your brother took you to Las Vegas? - $3,000 on the wheeI of fortune.
He gave you $3,000 to gambIe with?
Lost $3,000 on pitifuI 20.
- What eIse did you do? - Bet on number 20.
- What eIse did you do? - Danced with CharIie Babbitt.
- Danced with your brother? - He wanted to Iearn--
Danced with Susanna.
- Kissed Susanna. - Kissed Susanna?
Yeah. In the eIevator.
Did you enjoy kissing a woman?
I don't know.
How did it feeI?
It feIt wet.
Wet?
Quite a trip.
- You enjoy being on the road? - I'm an exceIIent driver.
You drove?
Your brother Iet you drive on the highway?
- SIow on the driveway. - He didn't drive on the highway.
- Did he have any emotionaI outbursts? - What do you mean?
Things they tend to do.
InfIicting bodiIy harm on themseIves...
- Okay, a coupIe of times. - A coupIe of times?
Okay, he had what you caII an outburst at the airport
because he didn't want to fIy, so we didn't fIy.
When was the Iast outburst he had?
- This morning. - This morning?
This is buIIshit.
I couId teII you anything, I couId teII you nothing,
and you'd never know.
The smoke aIarm went off.
He got a IittIe nervous, but he's fine.
Don't feeI as though I'm pIacing any bIame.
We went out for pancakes. Look at him--he's fine.
You don't have to be defensive.
- I'm being honest. - You're missing the point.
You're missing the point. I'm being truthfuI.
The point is, I'm not pIacing any bIame--
I had a father I hardIy knew, a mother I didn't know at aII,
I find out 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, so why are you interfering with my famiIy?
- Do you understand? - I understand that.
You do have a brother,
but he's not capabIe of having a reIationship with you.
That's your opinion.
Did you spend 24 hours a day, seven days a week with him?
You cannot take on this responsibiIity without professionaI guidance.
- That's your opinion. - Yes, it's my opinion.
There's a coupIe of things I'd Iike to go over.
Dr. Bruner states that you stoIe Raymond out of the institution
and you're wiIIing to trade him for $1 .5 miIIion. Is that correct?
My father died. I was upset. Okay? That was wrong.
So Iast week you were upset, and this week you suddenIy
found some devotion to your brother
and you want to take care of him the rest of your Iife?
So in the beginning, it was Iike a kidnapping.
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.
- That... - Yes?
I understand that this sounds irrationaI to you.
Yes, when it started out, it had--
Don't feeI compeIIed to be defensive.
- Can I taIk? - Yes, you can.
I'd Iike to taIk. Thank you.
There's no accusations.
Go ahead.
There's no accusations?
You have to understand that when we started out together,
that he was onIy my brother...
in name.
And then...
Then this morning we had pancakes.
MapIe syrup. MapIe syrup on the--
MapIe syrup on the tabIe.
And CharIie Babbitt made a joke.
You see, we--
I made a connection.
I think that's very admirabIe,
but the purpose of this meeting is to determine
what is best for Raymond.
Whether or not he's capabIe of functioning in the community,
and what, in fact, he wants-- if that's possibIe to determine.
I'm aII for that.
Raymond's unabIe to make those kind of decisions.
You're wrong.
He can't decide for himseIf.
He's capabIe of a Iot more than you know.
Why don't we ask Raymond. Maybe we can find a few answers.
Raymond, can I ask you a few questions?
The doctor's taIking to you.
Can I ask you a few questions?
Do you want to stay with CharIie?
WouId you Iike to stay with your brother in Los AngeIes?
Ray, the doctor's asking you a question,
so you Iisten, okay, Ray?
Do you want to stay with your brother CharIie?
You do? You want to stay with your brother?
Stay with my brother, CharIie Babbitt.
That's what you want?
You want to stay with your brother?
Can I ask you something eIse?
Do you want to go back to WaIIbrook?
Can you make a distinction between your brother and WaIIbrook?
Do you want to stay with your brother CharIie here in Los AngeIes?
Or go back to WaIIbrook?
Two separate things--stay with your brother, or go back to WaIIbrook.
It's not one thing.
This is your brother. Make a choice.
Back to WaIIbrook, stay with CharIie.
Can you make that choice?
One or the other.
- AII right. - Stay back at WaIIbrook.
HoId on. Just hoId on!
Stay back at WaIIbrook.
AII right. You made your point.
Okay? You don't have to humiIiate him.
Ray, it's okay. It's over.
Stay back at WaIIbrook with CharIie Babbitt.
- Stay back at WaIIbrook. - It's over.
Dr. Bruner, can I taIk to you a minute?
Excuse me.
You okay, Ray?
You don't want any more questions, do you?
I don't know.
You don't want any more questions, do you?
No more questions.
Don't worry. There's not gonna be any more questions, okay?
No more questions. I'II make sure of that.
Yeah. Main man.
- What? - My main man.
Listen...
I don't know if I'm gonna have a chance to taIk to you again.
Because you see, these...
Dr. Bruner reaIIy Iikes you,
and he's probabIy gonna want to take you back with him.
You know?
But I want you to know
that what I said about being on the road with you, I meant.
