How many times you wash out with EPA?
Yes, just one or two more days.
Three times? You're on a roll. Four cars, three times each.
Are you a mechanic or a NASA engineer?
I told you I've never dealt with these Lamborghinis before.
Don't tell me that cos I'm not listening.
Sir, I don't think that's necessary.
I'll explain that to my swing loan. I owe him 200,000.
That's thousands. I got all my money in these cars,
and if I don't get my money out, I am finished.
Try to understand our situation.
I got loan sharks snapping at my heels.
They could've taken my business 11 days ago.
I had to hold them off with a whip.
I know delivery is way overdue...
Fucking EPA. The world is choking on smog
and they're gonna correct that by keeping my cars off the road?
Babbitt Collectibles.
Have you tried cash? How much do these EPA guys earn?
Charlie, Mr. Wyatt.
He doesn't get the money by 5.30, he'll seize the cars.
I'll call you back.
Say you saw me sign the cheque and give it to the mail girl.
Come on, I need this.
I wouldn't do that, sir, until you speak to Mr. Babbitt.
His number? No, he's on the road.
- He wants you to call him... - Charlie.
Tell him I'm in Barbados, can he leave a number.
What, Lenny? I'm here.
Mr. Bateman's backing out on his car with Mr. Webb.
They want their deposits back. They're buying from Valley.
Tell him I was on the other line, the cars just passed EPA.
You paying attention?
Yeah, I am, I am.
Say I'm knocking five grand off for their patience, understand?
- Are you sure you've got it? - I've got it.
Mr. Bateman? That was Mr. Babbitt on the other line.
Yes, the cars are passing EPA...
Sorry, the cars have passed EPA.
We're waiting for the paperwork.
We'll have that momentarily.
Because of your patience, we'll knock $5,000 off each car.
Well, yes, we really appreciate your patience.
Well, thank you.
Thank you.
Ready for Palm Springs?
You still want to go?
We're seconds away from closing this deal. Not bad, huh?
Not bad at all.
- You know where to find us. - I got it under control.
Listen, I don't wanna be demanding,
but could you say 10 or 12 words before we get to the hotel?
Consider it foreplay.
Can you include me in some of your thoughts?
I'm just thinking. Nothing special.
Maybe we can talk about it, make a little conversation.
What's the big to-do about me thinking?
I just feel, I'm going away for a few days with someone.
Call me crazy.
- 0K, let's talk. - I don't wanna talk.
I feel you're excluding me from what's going on.
0ne of these again, Susanna. How did we get back to this?
I don't know why I put up with all this.
You wanted to go to Palm Springs.
Yes, but I didn't want to go alone. I've been...
You wanna talk, let's talk.
This is not talking, this is...
Charlie, this is Lenny.
I've been trying to contact you.
I got a call from Mr. Mooney, your father's lawyer.
He's been trying to reach you.
Your father has died, Charlie. Charlie?
I'm sorry, the funeral's tomorrow, in Cincinnati.
He said you'd know where. I've got his number.
That's not necessary. Anything else?
No, that's it. Listen, Charlie, if there's anything...
Sorry about the weekend, hon.
Charlie, the weekend...?
I told you, we had a falling-out a long time ago.
My mother died when I was two. Him and me didn't get along.
- You're going to the funeral? - Yeah.
I'm coming with you.
That's really sweet, but there's no point.
I want to. That's the point.
Sorry, I forgot who I was talking to.
..for our memory, admiration and respect for him
who lived beyond the years of his life on earth.
Let us follow his example of zest for life
dedication to family, and charity to all.
And now,
with sure and certain hope of resurrection unto life,
we commend to You the soul of our departed friend...
Just have to go over the will tonight, then we're outta here.
Sure, I'll come with you.
Somebody should water the roses. They're dying.
I knew this car all my life. 0nly drove it once.
It's a 1949 Buick Roadmaster convertible. 8,000 models made.
Straight eight. Fireball Eight.
First full year of Dynaflow transmission.
Know it by rote.
You were his only child.
You came along when he was, what, 45?
Probably thought he would never have a son. He had to love you.
You're exaggerating. You were his child, his blood.
Here he doesn't look like a man who doesn't love his son.
Put that away. You wanna hear a story? I'll tell you.
Don't get mad.
That convertible and his roses were his babies...
Buick.
The car was off-limits. He'd say, "It's a classic."
Tenth grade, I'm 16 and bring home a report card full of As.
I say, "Can I take the car out?"
Take the guys out in the Buick.
He says, "No." I steal the keys and sneak it out.
You took it with no permission? Why?
Because I deserved it.
Nothing I did was good enough for this guy.
We're on Columbia Parkway, we get pulled over.
An accident?
Pulled over...
- Pulled over is police? - Yes, police.
Can I finish?
He reported a stolen car, not his son took the car.
Just stolen.
The guys' dads bail them out of jail. He left me there 2 days.
He left you for 2 days?
Two days.
Were you scared?
Yeah, I was scared.
Left home. Never saw him again.
After a year we've been together,
you never told me this. It's strange.
How can you not say anything?
When I was scared as a kid, the Rainman would sing to me.
The Rain what?
0ne of those imaginary childhood friends.
What happened to him?
- Nothing. I just grew up. - Not so much.
"I remember the day you left home
"so full of bitterness and grandiose ideas.
"Raised without a mother, your hard heart is understandable.
"Refusing to pretend you loved or respected me,
"all these I forgive, but failing to re-enter my life
"has left me without a son.
"I wish you all I ever wanted for you. I wish you the best.
"I bequeath to my son, Charles Babbitt, the Buick.
"The very car that brought our relationship to an end.
"Also, title to my prize-winning rose bushes.
"May they remind him of the value of excellence.
"My home and all other property shall be placed in trust
"in accordance with the terms of the instrument herein."
What does that mean?
The estate of three million dollars after taxes
goes into a fund for a beneficiary named in this will.
Who?
I can't tell you.
Who controls the money? You?
A trustee.
How does that work?
There's nothing I can say. I can see you're disappointed.
Why should I be? I got the roses and a used car.
- What's-his-name... - The beneficiary.
Right, he got $3 million, but not the rose bushes.
Charles...there is no need to...
To what? To be upset?
If there is a hell, my father is in it now, laughing his ass off.
You wanna be Sanford Babbitt's son? Were you listening?
Yes, sir, I was. Were you?
No, repeat it, cos I can't believe my fucking ears.
I was looking for you.
How did it go?
I got what I expected.
Susanna, this could take a few minutes.
Can I help you?
I think so. I have a problem with a trust... Terrific suit.
- Thank you. - My father was Sanford Babbitt.
Is this Wallbrook?
Excuse me, is this Wallbrook?
Excuse me.
Dr Bruner is in conference. Wait in his office.
We'll stay here. Thank you.
We shouldn't be looking around.
Good luck to all three of you. $20 starts you off.
In what 1980 film did Goldie Hawn get away from it all?
Excuse me, please. I want to watch the TV.
For whose grandson was Camp David named?
Eisenhower.
You've got another five. Ten dollars lead for Lisa.
What did a swashbuckler keep in his sheath?
I don't understand the point of secrecy.
Is the patient an old girlfriend?
I knew your father since you were two.
The year my mother died.
I'm trustee, but the hospital receives nothing.
We could discuss that.
I took on this burden out of loyalty to your father.
And I should feel that loyalty?
You feel cheated of your birthright
by a man who couldn't show love.
I'd probably feel like you do.
I was hoping you could help me understand what my father did.
I have responsibilities to meet, even if that means a fight.
It's my boyfriend's car, not yours.
Dad lets me drive slow on the driveway.
You drive this car?
There's 28 miles on the meter since last week.
- Should be more than 28 miles. - My boyfriend's coming.
Today's Monday. I always drive on Saturday, never Monday.
- Who is this? - He just jumped in.
- He can jump out. - I'm an excellent driver.
Come on. I don't have time for this shit.
- Why'd you let him get in? - He says he drives it.
The seats were brown leather. Now they're pitiful red.
These were brown leather. Do you know this car?
I know this car.
How do you know this car?
A 1949 Buick Roadmaster Straight Eight. Fireball Eight.
0nly 8,095 production models made.
Dad lets me drive slow. But not on Monday.
- Who's your dad? - Sanford Babbitt.
10961 Beechcrest Street, Cincinnati, 0hio.
That's my address. What is it with him?
- Who's your mother? - Eleanor Babbitt.
Died January fifth 1965...
Who are you?
- Where are you going? - 13 minutes to People's Court.
I want to ask you a question.
What you are witnessing is real.
I'm talking to you.
Bruner, who is this guy?
Raymond is your brother.
My brother? I don't have a brother.
..and have their dispute settled...
The People's Court.
People's Court.
The People's Court.
I'm Doug Llewellyn. Welcome to The People's Court.
- Is he crazy? Retarded? - Not exactly.
- But he's here. - He's an autistic savant.
What's that?
They used to be called idiot savants.
They have deficiencies and abilities.
- He's retarded. - Autistic. High-functioning.
What does that mean?
His disability impairs sensory input and its processes.
You're talking over my head.
Raymond has trouble communicating.
He can't express himself or understand his own emotions.
..and after that, the dog bit him.
I yelled at my dog...
Danger is everywhere for Raymond.
Routines, rituals, it's all he has to protect himself.
Rituals. That's a good one.
It's the way he acts, sleeps, eats,
uses the bathroom, everything.
Any break from routines is terrifying.
- How long has he been here? - I came here in 1960...
- No, how old is he? - He was 18 or 20 then.
- You've been here that long? - That's my start date.
I was almost 3 years old, and you knew I was his brother.
What's the point?
The fuckin' point? Why didn't anyone tell me I had a brother?.
What would you have done about it?
I don't know.
Does he know how much money he's been left?
He doesn't understand the concept of money.
He's inherited $3 million, he doesn't understand the concept?
That is fuckin' poetic, don't you think?
Good old Dad.
Who's playing first? Yes. I mean first base. Who?
Why is he doing that?
When he's nervous, he does Abbott and Costello.
Yeah. Why?
It's his way of dealing with you touching things.
He memorised "Who's on First"?
Among other things.
Raymond, Ted Kluzevsky.
Kloszewski - Big Klu, first base.
- He played for Cincinnati. - Traded for Dee Fondi.
Lifetime batting average 298...
All these books. He reads?
Reads and remembers everything.
These people are going to be here all day, Vern.
This is not a weekend visit.
He's getting anxious. It's 0K, Ray.
- This is an unannounced visit. - He said not to touch the books
- Not to touch books. - You like Shakespeare?
- Did you read all this? - I don't know.
Did you read Macbeth? You read Hamlet?
- You read Twelfth Night? - Stop it.
Yes.
You read the stories in this book,
and don't know if you read the book?
- I don't know. - You don't know?
Maybe you'd better put it back.
You don't know. 0K, Ray, no, take it easy, I'm not gonna...
I won't touch anything else.
It's 0K, Ray. Come on. My main man.
Vern, my main man. My main man Vern.
- It's 0K. My main man. - Yeah, my main man.
Here. Here are your cards.
I didn't know where you want them.
Are you taking any prescription medication?
He likes you. That's his way of showing it.
When I touched him before, he pulled away.
He never touched me.
I'm closer to him than anybody.
I've known him for nine years.
If I left town tomorrow, he'd never notice.
He wouldn't notice?
I don't think people are his first priority.
Ray, you want to go take a walk? Ray?
Can he hear us when he's like that?
Want to show your brother your ducks?
It's 27 minutes to Jeopardy.
We'll bring you right back.
Practically 26 minutes to Jeopardy.
We'll bring him right back.
I won't do it.
First of all, this tone of voice is commanding...
Just calm down... Raymond, I'm gonna talk to Susanna.
- Bye, Raymond. - Hold on.
I'll be right back. No, just stay.
Just stay there.
No. Raymond. Stay there.
Just stand still, 0K? That's good.
I'll do it if you tell me why. Why do I...
What?
Why do I have to take the car
and wait at the gate? I've been waiting for days. Why?
It's for Raymond. The car disturbs him.
- That's why? - That's why.
What are you looking at, Ray? The ducks are over here.
I don't know.
0ur father died last week. Did they tell you that?
I don't know.
You don't know if they told you
or you don't know what dead is?
He's gone. He's at the cemetery. You want to see him?
I don't know.
- Does that mean maybe? - I don't know.
I live in Los Angeles.
I thought maybe you'd like to go.
Go see the Dodgers play.
- Today's an off day. - Not today.
Monday. No games scheduled.
Thought you'd like to see Fernando Valenzuela.
Fernando Valenzuela's scheduled to pitch on Wednesday.
He's pitching on Wednesday?
I'm not doing anything on Wednesday.
Let's go to LA.
Come on, Ray.
It's a long way to California.
I definitely can't be away more than two hours.
The people, crowds cheering, you'll love it.
Definitely two hours.
The presidential suite.
- Dinner's at 6:30. - Raymond's room.
Look at this.
This is definitely not my room.
- Just for tonight. - Have to go back...
Little guy. We're brothers.
Dr Bruner wants us to spend time together.
I have tapioca pudding for dessert.
We can do that. I'm calling Lenny.
This is not my room and my bed's in the wrong place.
You can move it.
- Where do you want it? - Near the window.
I don't have my books. There are no bookshelves.
I'm going to be bookless.
Here's a book... Big phone book, lot of words.
Lenny, pick up.
I got $200,000 about to go in the shit house.
It's 9:00 there.
- 3:00. - 6:30 is dinner...
It's 3:00, and he doesn't answer the phone?
0range soda.
A can with a straw...
Bruner told you to do this? It doesn't make sense.
I know what's good for him.
0h, God. See what he's doing, will you?
- What is it? - What's happening, homes?
Everything is fine. Charlie, let's take him home.
He's 0K. Get him dinner. You wanted hamburger?
Hamburger, Ray? Huh?
We have pepperoni pizza Monday night.
You got pizza in the institution?
Monday night's Italian night.
- Law 0ffices. - Yeah, get me Stu.
He's not here.
Where is he? I got a legal problem.
0ut of town until tomorrow.
I'll call tomorrow.
- Definitely not. - We can watch TV here.
Wheel of Fortune. Look at this studio,
filled with glamorous merchandise,
fabulous and exciting bonus prizes...
Thousands of dollars in cash.
0ver $150,000 just waiting to be won
as we present our big bonanza of cash
on...Wheel...of...Fortune.
Room 321. I'd like a large pizza. Pepperoni, right?
I don't want pepperoni.
A large pepperoni. How long will it take?
Beer for two, and orange soda. You got tapioca pudding?
Just bring the closest thing.
Here, Ray. Take this. Food is coming shortly.
- I'll be right back. - Yeah...
I'm going to be here for a very long time.
I'm gone for good from my home.
What is that?
I think Raymond is in the room.
- Are you here? - Charlie Babbitt.
Well, get out. Get out.
Stop it.
- Jesus... - Go in there with him.
Charlie, he's your brother. He's afraid.
He doesn't understand this. Go. Go in there.
Raymond, what were you doing in my room?
- I don't know. - You don't know?
There were noises.
Those noises are none of your business. Understand?.
Stop acting like an idiot. Go to sleep.
- Go to sleep. - It's 10:51.
- Lights out at 11:00. - New rules.
You don't listen to me.
- What are you talking about? - I asked you to apologise.
- You insulted him again. - I'm not his mother.
You're his brother.
They tell you today you have a brother.
I don't see one reaction. Not joy, just something.
You don't know what I'm going through.
No, I don't know because you don't tell me anything.
You just give me lies.
What lies?
Saying Dr Bruner asked you to bring him, this is bullshit.
Tell me why is he here?
Because I'm pissed at my father.
And you bring Raymond here. Why?
- They want him, I got him. - This makes no sense.
- Raymond was left everything. - How much?
- $3 million, every penny of it. - So?
I'll keep him till I get my half.
What is this? Huh? Susanna?
Just take it easy here.
What? You've had enough?
I'm leaving.
You're leaving me now? I need you.
You need nobody.
What does that mean? What?
Take it easy. What is my crime here?.
You use people. You're using Raymond, you're using me.
What?. Raymond. Am I using you?
- Yes. - Shut up.
He's answering a question from a half-hour ago.
What good is $3 million to him? I need that money.
So it's hardly like stealing. Then what happens to Raymond?
With the money, I'll put him in a better place.
What's the difference? He'll be the same.
0nly you'll have his money.
He was my father, too. Where's my fucking half?.
You've kidnapped this man.
I did not take him. I took my half.
- You crazy. - It runs in the family.
You're soaking wet and you're gonna leave now? Wait.
My father stuck it to me all my life. What do you want?
0ut.
- Stop it. - Good morning.
Coffee?
Yes.
Sally Dibbs. Dibbs, Sally. 461-0192.
How did you know my phone number?
How'd you know that?
You said read the telephone book. Dibbs, Sally. 461-0192.
He remembers things, little things, sometimes.
Very clever, boys. I'll be right back.
- How did you do that? - I don't know.
- You memorised the whole book? - No.
How far did you get?
G. Gottsaken. William Marshall Gottsaken.
- You memorized to G? - Yeah, G.
A, B, C, D, E, F, G?
Half of "G."
That's good, Ray. I like that.
Are you hungry?
- Tuesday we have pancakes. - That sounds good.
Maple syrup.
- Bet your butt. - Bet your butt.
What is this, Ray?
I don't have my toothpicks.
You don't need toothpicks.
It was 0K with the pizza, but here, you eat with a fork.
- I don't have my toothpicks. - You don't need them.
Eat the pancakes with a fork.
I don't have my maple syrup or my toothpicks.
You don't see pancakes, do you?
Maple syrup is not here.
When we order the pancakes, they'll bring maple syrup.
Maple syrup is supposed to be on the table before.
We haven't ordered yet.
If they bring it after, it'll be too late.
How is that going to be too late?
We haven't ordered yet.
We'll be here all morning with no syrup and no toothpicks...
I'm definitely not gonna have my pancakes without...
Don't make a scene.
Stop acting like a fucking retard.
What are you writing?
What is it? What the fuck is this?
"Serious injury list. Charlie Babbitt."
Are you fuckin' kidding me?
Number 18 in 1988.
Squeezed and pulled and hurt my neck in 1988.
Squeezed and pulled and hurt your neck in 1988?
Dr Bruner, it's Charlie Babbitt.
Where are you?
What matters is who I'm with.
You have to bring him back.
Sure. That'll be $1.5 million, I just want my half.
Raymond, that's dirty.
I can't do that, you know I can't.
Bring him back. This is where he belongs.
I'm his brother. It's not kidnapping, is it?
He's a voluntary patient. That's not the point.
This is where he can get the best care.
Cut the bullshit. I'm entitled to my father's estate.
If we can't cut a deal, I'll fly him to LA,
stick him in an institution, and we can have a custody battle.
Miss, he needs toothpicks. Thank you very much.
You want to battle me in the courts?
0r we can deal now.
You have no idea...
He needs some toothpicks.
Can we just get him some toothpicks?
I can't make any deals.
I'll see you in court.
And the check. Sorry about the toothpicks.
82, 82, 82.
82 what, Ray?
Toothpicks.
It's more than 82 toothpicks.
246 total.
Keep the change.
How many toothpicks were in there?
250.
Pretty close. Let's go, Ray.
246.
There's 4 left in the box.
'Course, I have to get my backpack.
97-X, the future of rock 'n' roll.
The future of rock 'n' roll.
Bam. The future of rock 'n' roll.
Enough already. Change the channel.
Bam. The future of rock 'n' roll.
97-X. Bam. The future of rock 'n' roll.
Lenny, I don't care. Did they say that?
Be more forceful. Lenny, shut up. I'm in trouble.
I can't get to these cars. I can't get the money.
My loan is past due.
Lenny, listen, I'll be in LAX in three hours.
The Buick is in the main terminal. Make sure they get it.
Right. See you in a few.
Raymond, let's go. Come on.
Raymond. Ray. Ray. Let's go. Come on.
- What were you watching? - I don't know.
You don't know?
Final call for flight 1559 to Salt Lake City
and Los Angeles.
There's an airplane out there.
- Right. Let's go. - Airline travel is dangerous.
It's very safe. You're going to love this. Come on.
Ray, we're in an airport. What did you think we were doing?
In 1987, there were 30 accidents with 211 fatalities.
I've got to get to LA and I don't have time for this shit.
- I don't know. - You don't know?
- Is it the airline? - Yeah.
0k. Fine. There's an American plane...
American flight 625 crashed April 27, 1976.
- We don't have to go American. - Pick another.
Continental.
Continental crashed November 15, 1987. 28 casualties.
This is very serious, Ray. I have to get to LA.
You're going to have to get on that plane, understand?
Yeah, get on a plane.
- Now, there's a Delta. - Yeah.
It leaves at midnight. How's Delta?
Delta crashed August 2, 1985. Lockheed L-1011.
Dallas-Fort Worth. Terrible wind shear...
All airlines have crashed at one time or another.
Qantas. Qantas never crashed.
Qantas?
Never crashed.
Well, that's going to do me a lot of good.
Qantas doesn't fly to LA out of Cincinnati.
You've got to get to Melbourne to get a flight to LA.
Canberra's the capital. 16.2 million population.
Very lovely beaches.
We are getting on this fucking plane.
Ray. We're not going to take the plane. He's 0K.
We're not going to take the plane. Just relax.
He was upset. We're not going to take the plane.
- We're not gonna fly, 0K? - No flying.
- We're not gonna fly. - No flying.
You tire me, Ray.
We're going to drive to Los Angeles. 0K? Come on.
Ray, come on. Come on. Here.
Yeah. No flying.
We're not going to take the plane. Grab the fucking bag.
- You are killing me, man. - No flying.
I got to be in LA, now it's gonna take me three days.
Come on.
- No flying. - No flying.
'Course, I got Jeopardy at 5:00.
- Don't start with that, Ray. - Got Jeopardy at 5:00.
Go ahead, 109.
Get another unit up here for point control.
- Yeah, there's a... - Get in the car.
Are you crazy? Come on, we'll be out of this in a second.
It's 0K. We'll be out of here in a few seconds. That's good.
- That's a fatal accident. - Ray?
We don't need your help. Go back to your car.
Just a minute.
Go back and get in your car.
Yes, sir.
Get in your car.
Just stay there by the side, Raymond.
Ray. Listen, Ray. Just stay there.
Lot of traffic.
A lot of work for $3 million. I should leave him here.
I hear you.
Stay in your car, please.
What's it gonna be?.
- This is a dangerous highway. - How am I gonna get to LA?
Driving on this interstate is dangerous.
- You want to get off? - Yeah.
Well, get in the car.
46,400 male drivers were involved in fatal accidents.
I got an idea.
Stay in front of the car till we get off the exit.
Then we'll take a not-so-dangerous road.
Is that an idea?
Give me five, Ray. That's a great idea.
This guy's a fucking fruitcake.
I'm asking who's on first. That's the man's name. Whose?
Then tell me. Who? The guy on first. Who?
Whose? Yes. After all, the man earns it. Who does?
Absolutely. What's the guy's name on first base?
What is on second base? Who's on first?
- Get the hell in the car. - Yeah, get in the car.
I have to be in bed by 11. Lights out. Have to watch TV.
It's 19 minutes to 11. I have to be in bed at 11.
Don't start. We're on some shit road, I gotta make up time.
I gotta get to Los Angeles. My business needs me.
You have to be in bed at 11, lights out.
Forget it.
19 minutes to 11.
This is a good one. "We don't go out when it rains."
My business is going down the fucking toilet.
I should be in LA.
Instead, I'm in the Honeymoon Hotel, Bumblefuck, Missouri,
because you won't go out when it rains.
It's mystifying. Fuckin' mystifying.
What is this? Good news, bad news?
We passed D0T, failed EPA. I still can't get my money.
I'm stuck in Cincinnati since the funeral.
My family is, needless to say, quite overwhelmed.
Well, thank you. It is a shock, to say the least.
Could I get an extension on that loan? It would help a lot.
We don't go out when it's raining.
What? I bought time. I didn't expect... What? How much?.
It's 12:30.
- Lunch is 12:30. - What do you want for lunch?
Wednesday's fish sticks and lime jelly for dessert.
You want another apple juice?
0range soda. 0h. It's 12:31.
I got to go. He's starting to rock and moan.
Four fish sticks. There's supposed to be eight.
There's eight.
Take a shower, Ray? Hmm?
You take a shower, right?
Same thing as rain - you get a little wet. What do you say?
The shower's in the bathroom.
That's the end of that conversation.
British poetry for 200, please.
Shakespeare wrote over 150 poems in this form.
What is a sonnet?
The last word in the pledge of allegiance.
Bruner never established a conservatorship of Raymond?
He didn't figure anyone would contest his authority.
If that's the case, I'll get custody and the $3 million.
You set up a date for the custody hearing.
I want a firm date, and I want it early.
It wasn't an original record cos the original song...
Lenny, she hasn't come in? She hasn't called?
If you see her, tell her to call me.
Look. 1957 Studebaker Golden Hawk.
0 to 60 in under 8 seconds. 275 supercharged horsepower.
- That's beautiful. - I'm an excellent driver.
- You know how to drive? - Yeah.
- When did you drive? - The Buick when Dad came.
- Was Dad in the car? - Yeah.
- He let you drive the Buick? - Slow, on the driveway.
We'll have to let you drive some time.
You never touch the steering wheel when I'm driving.
I don't have my underwear.
What?
I'm not wearing my underwear.
I gave you a pair of mine.
I told you to put them on. Where are they?
They're in my jacket pocket.
- Where? - Here. They're too tight.
These are not boxer shorts.
These are Hanes 32.
My shorts have my name in. It says, "Raymond".
We'll buy you a pair of boxer shorts.
I get my shorts in K-Mart, Cincinnati.
- We're not going back. - 400 0ak Street.
You don't have to go to Cincinnati.
- That's 0ak and Burnett. - What did I say, Ray?
I know you hear me.
You don't fool me with this shit.
Yours are tight.
Ray, did you fuckin' hear what I said? Shut up.
Cincinnati's far away. We're getting further from K-Mart.
You don't have to go to Cincinnati for underwear.
400 0ak Street.
We are not going to Cincinnati.
- I get my shorts at K-Mart. - Did you hear me?.
What difference does it make where you buy underwear?.
What difference does it make? Underwear is underwear.
It is underwear wherever you buy it. Cincinnati, wherever.
- K-Mart. - You know what I think?
I think this autism is a bunch of shit.
You can't tell me you're not in there somewhere.
Boxer shorts. Boxer shorts at K-Mart.
These are Hanes 32.
- Mine are boxer shorts. - You're driving me crazy.
We'll have to make a stop, find a psychiatrist.
You are driving me crazy.
'Course, your shorts are on the highway.
Good luck trying to find a shrink in this town.
Hey, you. Dipshit. Move it.
I'll move you, then.
Hey, buddy. Hey, you.
You're going to get hurt.
Hey, you hear me? Hey.
Hey. It's all right. Sorry, he's from out of town.
Raymond, come on.
Got to get to K-Mart.
Raymond? Raymond? Come on.
400 0ak Street. It said, "Don't Walk."
- It's broken. - It said, "Don't Walk."
I have to get to K-Mart. 400 0ak and Burnett.
He said, "Young man, go west. Go west."
This is the way our country developed, east to west.
During that period of time...
There was initiated what is known as a pony express.
I'm sure all of you have read about it.
I may not have the years exactly right,
but I'm familiar with US history...
He's artistic?
- No. He's autistic. - I'm not familiar with that.
What is the exact problem?
He lives in a world of his own.
I'm sorry, but what's wrong with him?
It was a problem getting mail...
Raymond, do "What's on first."
Who's on first. What's on second.
They set up a national program
where a pony express would ride for approximately 20 miles...
What am I supposed to do? There must be something.
I'm not a psychiatrist,
but his brain doesn't work like other people.
If he's getting on your nerves, take a break.
- I'll just send him back. - Sorry?
Nothing, inside joke.
You're telling me I just gotta deal with this?
Yeah, that's about it.
0ut of curiosity, does he have any special abilities?
He's got a pretty good memory. He counts toothpicks.
They spilled toothpicks on the floor,
and he counted them in seconds.
- Are you good with numbers? - Yeah.
I want to try something.
- 400 0ak Street. - I told you, after this.
- Ray, can we try something? - Yeah.
Do you know how much 312...times...123 is?
38,376.
- He's right. - What?
He's right.
Ray, how much is 4,343
times 1,234?
5,359,262.
- He's a genius. - That's right.
He's a genius.
Ray, do you know how much the square root of 2,130 is?
46.15192304.
2304.
That's amazing.
That is amazing. He should work for NASA or something.
If you had a dollar, and you spent 50 cents,
how much money would you have left?
About 70.
- 70 cents? - So much for the NASA idea.
- Go to K-Mart. - Ray. After this.
How much does a candy bar cost?
- About $100. - $100, huh?
How much is a new compact car?
About $100.
He's pretty well off. He's very high-functioning.
Most autistics can't speak and can't communicate.
Ray. Do you know what autistic is?
- Yeah. - You know that word?
Are you autistic?
I don't think so.
No, definitely not.
Lenny, shut up, let me see if I understand this.
- Very small here. - It's 10,000 for each car?
It's very crowded.
Ray, please. 0ne little second. What?
They want to put the fuel injection system in now?
That is nonsense.
What are you doing? Just leave this on.
It's gonna cost $40,000 just to meet EPA.
You give me the number. I'll call the conversion shop.
That's my pen and book.
Taking a book is not serious injury.
Serious injury is the red book.
Sorry, I lost my secret decoder ring. 45-45-1988.
That's my book. That's my pen.
12 minutes to Wapner. It's very small in here.
Small and safe. You don't wanna miss the party.
There's a party in your honour.
When we get to LA, a little custody hearing.
Because you're the $3-million man.
- Uh-oh. Fart. - Yeah, I'll hold...
Did you fart, Ray? Did you fucking fart?
- How can you stand that? - I don't mind.
- Yeah, Ken? - 10 minutes to Wapner.
Locked in this box with no TV.
How could this possibly happen?
People's Court starts on the button.
Look, I got a problem. I'll call you back.
We won't make it.
Yes, we're going, Ray. Just take it easy.
Where am I going to find a TV?
Eight minutes to Wapner.
Come on. You want to go in and see the show?
Want to see the show? Then listen up.
Not another farm house in sight. This is it, man.
You act weird, we don't get in. You listening?
I want you to look as normal as possible.
- Put your hands down. - Four minutes to Wapner.
Shut up and stand there.
No rock 'n' roll. Put your hands down.
Good afternoon, ma'am. I'm from the AC Nielsen company.
- The TV ratings? - That's exactly it.
You're a candidate to be the next Nielsen Family here.
- My husband's not home... - If selected, you'll help
to shape television programming viewed by our nation,
and you'll receive a cheque for $286 a month.
Who's he?
That is my partner, Mr. Bainbridge, who does...
That's it. You blew it.
No programme.
0ne minute to Wapner.
I had you in there, Ray.
You had it all.
They are in there making legal history, Ray.
What is going on out here?
I'm sorry, ma'am. I lied. That man is my brother.
If he doesn't watch People's Court, he'll throw a fit.
You can help, or you can stand and watch it happen.
We like cartoons. Would he settle for that?
'..that she sees an identical twin.
'He didn't have his shirt on. The other one did.
'They sure look alike to me.
Daddy's not here right now, darling.
Come here. Here, sweetheart.
Harry, work with me on this one.
You know that song?
My credit card's been rejected? How much is this gonna cost?
$20, sir.
I'm never going back. It's definitely a long journey.
Just a couple more days.
Yeah. Who's playing first?
You going to start with this again, Ray?
You got to do this every time?
That's his name. Who's name?
I'm not asking you, I'm telling you who's on first.
Ray, this is not... It's not a riddle.
Yeah. Then who's playing first?
You'll never figure out who's on first base cos Who is.
It's a joke.
Sometimes his wife comes down. Who's wife?
It's comedy, man.
You got a first baseman on first?
When you do it, you're not funny.
You're the comedy team of Abbott and Abbott.
Sometimes his wife comes and collects it. Whose wife?
Ray, you are never going to solve it.
It's not a riddle, man.
If you understood that it's funny,
you might get better.
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?
Then who's playing first? Yeah.
Who's...playing...
Then who's playing first base for St Louis?
Who? The guy 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.
We got your apple juice, we'll take the pens and paper out.
- Did I forget something? - Cheese balls.
I forgot the cheese balls.
I have to get my tartar control toothpaste.
I got that a couple of days ago.
Remember when that doctor asked you the number questions?
- How did you do that? - I see it.
- Stop that for a second. - I see it.
Put that down. I'm trying to talk to you.
Why do you have to act like an idiot?
- You think that's funny? - Funny Rainman.
- What did you say? - Funny teeth.
I want you to rinse.
Why did you say "Funny teeth?"
You said funny teeth, funny Rainman.
- Rainman? I said Rainman? - Yeah, funny Rainman.
Was I trying to say "Raymond" and it came out "Rainman"?
Yeah, funny Rainman.
You? You're the Rainman?
- Who took this picture? - Dad.
And you lived with us?
Yeah. 10961 Beechcrest Street, Cincinnati, 0hio.
When did you leave?
- January 21, 1965. - You remember that?
It was Thursday. Very snowy out. 7.2 inches of snow that day.
Just after mom died.
Mom died January 5, 1965.
You remember that day that you left?
Sudden illness.
- You remember that day? - Yeah.
Was I there? Where was I?
You were in the window. You waved to me.
"Bye-bye, Rainman."
So you were the one that sang to me?
What did you sing? What was that song...?
What did you sing?
She was just 17
And 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 you singing? - Yeah.
Did we sing other songs like the Beatles?
Scary bad.
What's scary bad?
Hot water burn baby.
Water.
Hot water burn baby? What baby? Me?
- Yeah. - Easy, easy.
- Hot water burn baby. - I'm not burned.
I'm not burned. Look. Please.
- Hot water burn baby. - Please. Please.
Tub burn baby.
I'm not burned, man. I'm not burned.
I'm not burned. It's 0K.
It's 0K.
Time for Wallbrook now.
That's why they put you away.
They thought you would hurt me.
What?
What, Ray?
Come on. It's 11:00, Ray.
- Lights out. - Yeah.
Never hurt Charlie Babbitt.
Never, never hurt Charlie Babbitt.
Here you go, 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...
I just want to hear it's not over. I mean...
I'm scared it's over.
Don't ask me tonight. Let it sit.
That's something I'm not good at.
There's lots of things you're not good at.
I'll call you when I get back, 0K?
- I'll see you. - Ciao.
What are you looking at that for, Ray?
I buy a TV and you watch the dryer.
I don't know.
At the hearing, we'll have to prove
you prefer to watch this TV, not the dryer.
Are you listening to me?
Turn this off when you're not watching.
With no batteries, you can't watch Wapner.
The red one falls the same.
Why aren't you listening?
You want to go back to Wallbrook?
I got to make a phone call.
Yeah, Lenny, it's me.
I've been waiting for three hours.
I had some things to do.
Charlie, we are in serious trouble.
Just take it easy.
I'm in Tucumcari...
They repossessed the cars to pay off the loan.
They want their down payments back. 80 thou.
80,000... I don't have it.
You got to pay them back, or we're out of business.
What shall I tell them?
I don't know.
Son of a bitch.
Why don't you let me put the top up?
Wouldn't have to fry. Put this on so you don't burn.
You want me to put the top up?
- I like the top down. - I don't want you to burn.
Definitely like it when the top's...
It's all right. Just take it easy. It's almost over.
- Now, how's that feel? - Very slippery.
He's slightly in third base.
He held that ball out a little too long.
We'll look at it again.
Treadwell playing well over to the right.
0K, here's Davis.
He seems to hold it there just a bit.
He loses all chance of a play on Bremley...
Will you give me a break with this?
Can't.
Ray, stop it.
'Cos lonely women make good lovers...
J-7.

0ne 5. You are beautiful, man.
- I'm an excellent driver. - You can't drive now.
Listen, when there's lots of 10s left, it's good for us.
- Say it - 10s are good. - 10s are good.
- And you're gonna bet... - 0ne if it's bad.
Two if it's good.
That's right. Now, 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.
Are you listening? That's very important.
Yeah. Counting... Counting is bad.
Yes, counting is bad.
I drive slow on the driveway.
You get this right, Ray, you can drive wherever you want.
I'm an excellent driver.
Mr. Morgan, please pick up the hotel courtesy phone.
Rainman, let's play some cards.
You want a hit?
- No. You've got 18. - I want a hit.
- Sir, you have 18. - He doesn't want a hit. Hit me.
- Hitting 18. - Hit me.
I've got a 10. I needed that queen. I can't take it.
- Don't touch the cards. - I need a queen.
There's lots of them.
- There's lots of them? - Lots and lots.
Hold on here.
I'm going to double down.
Yes, sir, you got to love this town.

It certainly looks like it.

Bet two.
What's your secret, guys?
We cheat.

About 85,000.
Did you call the eye in the sky?
- Sam did. - 0K, I'll take over.
You're doing well. I'm happy for you, sir.
What do you see?
He's not catching the hole card.
- I don't see a computer. - Something's not right.
No one can count into a six-deck shoe.
Hold it. Hold it here...
Watch my chips. I'll be back in a second.
We're in the middle of a hand.
You don't leave during a hand.
The Babbitt brothers are kicking ass in Vegas.
Wheel of Fortune.
Cleopatra and Caesar are waiting.
Look at this glamorous merchandise.
Yeah, 20.
- It's going to hit on 20? - Yeah, 20.
$3,000 on 20.
- Definitely 20. - Definitely 20?
It's not your game, Ray. I just lost $3,000.
That's $3,000 I lost. Come on, Ray.
No? Easy. Don't start banging yourself.
Maybe we'll play later. Let me cash in.
Yeah. Cash in.
You make me sad, Ray.
20.
We won $86,000 and some change, right, Ray?

Refund on the car payments, and I owe...
How much to get the Rolex back?

Until I get back, the sign says "Don't walk".
Don't walk.
You looking for a date?
I don't know.

My name is Iris.

He was born August 12, 1962. It was a Sunday.
What exactly do you guys do here?
- We're counting cards. - You're counting cards?
We're counting cards.

Yeah. She's very sparkly.
He did a great job on that suit. Do you like it?
It's not K-Mart.
How could you not like that suit? You look fantastic.
It's not a K-Mart suit.
I'll tell you a secret. K-Mart sucks, 0K?
Here you go, Ray. The high rollers' suite.
It's yours. You ever seen a room like this before?
What's up there? You're not even looking.
- Yeah. Bed. - That's your bed.
Right by the window, the way you like it. Go on up.
- Just the way you like it. - Yeah...
Look at you with all those lights.
You are Mr. Las Vegas now.
What do you think?
There's a lot of lights. Very sparkly. Very twinkly.
We made a lot of money today, Ray,
forgetting the $3,000 we tossed away
at that wheel of fortune.
Yeah, wheel...wheel of fortune.
I'm sorry about that. I got carried away.
I got a little hot.
I just want you to know I'm sorry.
I'm apologising. I got a little carried away.
The money... I got a little greedy.
You want to say something?
I meet Iris at 10:00.
Cos I got to thank you, man.
You did it. You did it.
You saved my ass. I'm just along for the ride.
Have to meet Iris at the bar at 10:00.
Iris, that's her name, yeah.
Going to go dancing.
Have to go dancing.
- You know how to dance? - I don't know.
You ought to learn some time.
Have to learn to dance with a date.
- Have to learn. - I was just kidding.
You won't have to dance.
I have to learn to dance. Definitely. Now.
I'll teach you how to dance some time.
- Definitely have to. - You won't have to dance.
Definitely have to learn.
All right, Ray. My mistake.
You got the only famous dancing hooker.
Stand over there.
- Come over here. - Yeah.
- You hear the music? - Yeah.
Watch my feet. Raymond, watch my feet.
Just do what I'm doing.
You feel the rhythm of the music?
Just moving our feet like that.
Now, you're the guy, so you'll have to lead.
I'm the date, so you want to, uh...
You wanna put your left hand up like this.
- You paying attention? - Yeah.
Don't stop moving. Put your left hand up.
That's good. Don't stop moving.
Just keep moving. That's good.
Put your other hand around my back.
You got to touch someone when you dance.
- I'm not going to hurt you. - Yeah.
Just put it right there.
I put my hand up here. Watch my feet.
Yeah.
The rhythm, the rhythm.
All right?
When you dance, you can't watch my feet,
so you'll have to look up.
When I tell you to, just look up, real slow.
Just keep moving.
- 0K, you ready? - Yeah.
All right, start looking up.
A little more. Keep moving. Just a little more.
A little more, Ray. All the way up.

You want to close your hand.
I pull like that, you're going to turn me like this, 0K?
Just turn. That's good.
This is dancing, Ray.
I'm starting to feel a little silly.
That's it. All right. Beautiful.
You are a good dancer. Wanna give me a hug?
I just wanted to give you a hug, Ray.
Just felt like giving you a hug.
What are you doing here?
- I'm unemployed. - What do you mean?
- You don't know...? - Yeah, I do. Come in.
I'm glad to see you. Ray, look who's here.
It's not right what you're doing to Raymond.
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?
It'd be nice if you didn't carry that TV everywhere.
Why do you need a Watchman?
The man's dancing.
What does your date look like?
She's very sparkly. She looks like a holiday.
Mr. Babbitt? Mr. Kelso would like to see you.
I don't know him.
He's director of security. Come with me.
- Susanna, stay with Raymond. - Right this way.
- 10:01. She's not here. - She'll come.
Congratulations, sir. Counting into a six-deck shoe.
I don't understand what you're talking about.
We make videotapes, analyse them
and share the information with other casinos.
These tapes suggest you should take your winnings and leave.
Someone has a good day and you accuse them?
Is this how you treat all your guests?
Just close your mouth and go home.
Those are the best odds you'll see for a while.
- Did you want to dance? - Yeah.
There'll be other chances. Many girls would love to dance.
It's gonna be 0K.
- I like this music, Ray. - Elevator stopped.
Could you show me how you were going to dance with Iris?
- Would you dance with me? - Elevator's on hold.
It's 0K. Give me this.
- Show me. Show me how. - Charlie Babbitt taught me.
Dancing in the elevator.
It's nice.
You're very good.
Iris missed a beautiful dance.
- And a kiss. - Yeah, and a kiss.
- Have you ever kissed a girl? - I don't know.
You don't know?
0pen your mouth. 0pen.
Like you are tasting something very good...
and very soft.
Like this. Close your eyes.
- It's 0K. - Yeah.
- How was that? - Wet.
Then we did it right.
- Elevator's definitely stuck. - No, it's not.
Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers.
- Like us. - Yeah, like us.
I promised you you could drive. This is it.
- I drive slow on the driveway. - Is this 0K?
- I'm an excellent driver. - He's very good.
Ray, why don't you get in the front seat?
I'll hear from you after Raymond's meeting?
Don't worry. It's going to be fine.
I'm nervous.
Listen, I'm happy you came to Vegas.
I know.
Ray, thank you for the date in the elevator. It was nice.
- Thank you for the what? - Something between us.
Between "us"?
Us, Ray?
This is your bedroom up here.
'Course, there's no bed there.
This is a magic bed. Just watch and see.
We got the table over here. We got the television.
I got a little surprise for you. Picked up a video.
Don't start with that, Ray.
This is not just another place. This is my place.
- Who's wife? - Yes.
He earns it.
- Who does? - Absolutely.
What's the guy's name on first base?
What is on second.
- Don't you think this is funny? - Yes, this is funny.
Where'd you see this first?
Dad gave me a baseball book.
- Guess it didn't read as funny. - Definitely not.
This is Dr Bruner. I'd like you to call me.
- What is it? - I thought I got the machine.
No.
You know the psychological interview is tomorrow.
Yes, I know that.
I thought we should get together and talk.
It would be in your best interests.
When?
I'm at the Bonaventure. How about 8:30pm?
You'll meet Dr Marston,
who's in charge of the psychiatric evaluation.
I gave him boxes of files on Raymond.
Good luck.
This is a formality, son. Your brother's very disabled.
So Marston's gonna rule against me?
No, it's always been a lost cause.
Then why did you call?
Your father put me in charge of all the money, 0K?
It doesn't matter if you win custody.
I won't have to pay you. It's at my discretion.
- So you can't lose? - I can lose Raymond.
I care about your brother's life.
I made a commitment to your father. I won't gamble that.
- What is this? - A very big cheque.
$250,000.
No strings attached. You can just walk away.
This isn't about you and me.
It's not about winning or losing.
When I asked you why nobody told me I had a brother,
you didn't have an answer.
I don't know...
I'm not pissed off now that my father cut me out of his will.
You were his friend. You know he tried to contact me.
I never called him back.
If that was my son, I'd have written him out. Fuck him.
It's not about the money anymore.
I don't understand why he didn't tell me I had a brother.
Why didn't anyone ever tell me I had a brother?
It would've been nice to know for more than the past 6 days.
It's stopped. It's alright.
Alright, they got raspberry, strawberry, blueberry,
Pink Caddy, Wholewheat, Beernut, Rocky Road, Belly Buster.
- What pancakes you want? - Pancakes.
- What kind? - Pancakes.
Maple syrup's supposed to be on the table before...
Charlie Babbitt made a joke.
I made a joke.
Step back a little.
Hello?
Why don't you go and sit over there?
In this kind of proceeding, there's no lawyers, no judge,
just the people who care about Raymond.
Raymond, sit there, Mr. Babbitt, other side of the table.
Raymond, right here. Raymond, have a seat. 0K?
Ray, put your sack on the floor.
It's a good opportunity to be honest...
And the TV, Ray? Ray, on the floor. I'm sorry.
I don't know an easy way to say this, Mr. Babbitt...
Have I lost already?
No, I'm just a doctor making a recommendation to a court.
Dr Bruner is a very respected professional.
Raymond's case has been documented
and Wallbrook is a fine institution.
You guys have decided. See you in court.
My brother came further with me in a week than in 20 years.
I don't think it's necessary to challenge Dr Bruner.
I'm sorry.
What happened this week, Raymond?
I was asking Raymond.
What happened? What did you do, Raymond?
Counted cards in Las Vegas.
- Brother took you to Vegas? - $3,000 on Wheel of Fortune.
- To gamble with? - Lost $3,000. Pitiful 20.
What else did you do?
Danced with Charlie Babbitt.
He wanted to learn.
Danced with Susanna. Kissed her.
- Kissed Susanna? - In the elevator.
- Did you enjoy kissing a woman? - I don't know.
- It felt wet. - Wet?
Quite a trip.
- You like the road? - I'm an excellent driver.
You drove?
Brother let you drive on the road?
- Slow on the driveway. - Not on the road.
- Any emotional outbursts? - Like what?
They tend to inflict bodily harm on themselves...
0K, yeah, a couple of times.
He had what you call an outburst 'cause he didn't wanna fly.
When was the last outburst?
This morning.
This is bullshit. I could tell you nothing, you'd never know.
The smoke alarm went off.
He got a little nervous...
I'm not placing any blame.
We went out for pancakes...
You don't have to be defensive...
I'm just being honest.
- You're missing the point. - No, you are.
I'm not placing any blame...
I had parents I hardly knew, 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, we're not hurting you.
Why are you interfering in my family?
- Do you understand? - I do understand.
Your brother's not capable of having a relationship with you.
Have you spent 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with him?
You can't take this on without guidance.
That's your opinion, Dr Bruner.
In this file, Dr Bruner states that a week ago,
you stole Raymond to trade him for $1.5 million.
My father died. I was upset. That was wrong.
So now you've suddenly found some devotion to your brother
and want to take care of him?
Yes.
The beginning was like a kidnapping.
That's very strong. I didn't kidnap him.
But during the week, you came to understand him?
Yes.
Look...I understand that this sounds irrational to you.
When I started out...
Don't feel so defensive.
Can I talk? I'd like to talk. Thank you.
There's no accusations. Go ahead.
No accusations?
You have to understand that when we started out,
he was only my brother in name.
And this morning, we had pancakes.
Maple syrup. Maple syrup on the table.
- Pancakes. - 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 can function in the community
and what he wants, if that's possible to determine.
I'm all for that.
- Raymond can't decide. - You're wrong.
Charlie, he can't decide for himself.
He's capable of more than you know.
Let's ask Raymond.
Raymond, can I ask you a few questions?
Ray, the doctor's talking.
Can I ask you some questions?
Do you want to stay with Charlie?
Raymond, would you like to stay with Charlie in Los Angeles?
The doctor's asking a question,
so you listen, 0K?
Do you want to stay with your brother Charlie?
Yeah.
- You do? - Yeah.
- You wanna stay with Charlie? - Stay with Charlie Babbitt.
- That's what you want? - Yeah.
You wanna stay with your brother?
Can I ask something else?
- You wanna go to Wallbrook? - Yeah.
Can you distinguish between your brother and Wallbrook?
Do you want to stay with Charlie here in Los Angeles,
- or go back to Wallbrook? - Yeah.
Stay with your brother or go back to Wallbrook?
Back to Wallbrook, stay with Charlie Babbitt.
- Wallbrook, stay with Charlie. - No, make a choice.
0ne or the other.
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 0K.
It's over.
Stay at Wallbrook with Charlie Babbitt.
- Back at Wallbrook. - It's over.
Dr Bruner, can we talk?
Excuse me.
- You 0K, Ray? - Yeah.
You don't want any more questions, do you?
Don't know...
No more questions.
Don't worry. No more questions, I'll make sure of that, 0K?
Yeah. Main man.
- What? - My main man.
Listen...
I don't know if I'll have a chance to talk to you again.
Because you see, Dr Bruner likes you a lot,
and he'll probably want to take you back with him.
- 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.
Yeah.
C-H-A-R-L-I-E.
Main man.
Your attention, please.
Amtrak train 36, Desert Wind Eastbound, now boarding.
Hello, Raymond.
Wouldn't you be more relaxed in your K-Mart clothes?
- Tell him, Ray. - K-Mart sucks.
I have the tickets, I'll be in this car to the right.
Why don't you take a coupla minutes? See ya, Charlie.
You made a joke, Ray.
Take this. You'll have to carry it now.
It's for your cheeseballs, your apple juice,
notebooks, and Who's on First video that you like.
- Very funny. - I told you, it's funny.
All aboard.
- Better get going. - Yeah. 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.
That's 20,160 minutes.
1,209,600 seconds.
I'll see you soon.
Yeah. 0ne for bad, two for good.
Bet two for good.
Three minutes to Wapner.
You'll make it.
