Rain Man Page #10

Someone has a good day

at the tables...

and you accuse them

of illegal activities?

Is this how you treat

all your guests?

All you have to do is

close your mouth and go home.

Those are the best odds you're

gonna see for a while. I'd take 'em.

- Did you want to dance on your date?

- Yeah.

There'll be other chances. Many pretty

girls would love to dance with you.

- Yeah.

- It's gonna be okay.

- I Like this music, Ray.

- Elevator stopped.

It's okay. You think you could show me

how you were going to dance with Iris?

- Yeah.

- Yes?

- Would you Like to dance with me?

- Elevator's on hold.

- Give me this.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

- Show me how.

Charlie Babbitt taught me.

- Charlie Babbitt?

- Yeah.

Dancing in the elevator.

It's nice.

You're very good.

- Iris missed a beautiful dance.

- Yeah.

- And a kiss.

- Yeah, a kiss.

- Have you ever kissed a girl?

- I don't know.

You don't know?

Open your mouth. Open.

- Yeah.

- Like this.

Like you were tasting

something very good...

and very soft.

Like this.

Close your eyes.

- It's okay, Ray.

- Yeah.

- How was that?

- Wet.

- Then we did it right.

- Elevator's definitely stuck.

No, it's not stuck.

Here.

Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers.

- Like us.

- Yeah, Like us.

What'd I tell you, Ray?

I promised you could drive.

- At Wallbrook, I drive on the driveway.

- Charlie, this is okay?

- I'm an excellent driver.

- He's good on a driveway.

Ray, why don't you

get in the front seat?

So, I'll wait to hear from you

after Raymond's meeting?

- Yeah.

- It's gonna be fine.

- Yeah. I'm nervous.

- I know.

Listen, I'm glad, happy--

I'm happy that you came to Vegas.

I know.

Ciao.

Ray, thank you for the date

in the elevator. It was really nice.

- Yeah.

- Ciao.

- Thank you for the what?

- It's something between us.

- Between us?

- Us.

Us, Ray?

Here we go, Ray.

This is your bedroom up here.

Of course, there's

definitely no bed there.

No, this is a magic bed, Ray.

You just watch and see.

We got the table over here.

We got the television, Ray.

Went to the video store.

Got a surprise for you, Ray.

Picked up a video for you.

Don't start with that, Ray.

It's not just another place, Ray.

This is my place.

I'm asking you who's on first.

That's the man's name.

Who? The first baseman.

Who is on first.

You got a first baseman on first?

Certainly. Then who's playing first?

- The man's entitled to it.

- Who is?

Yes.

- So who gets it?

- Why shouldn't he?

Sometimes his wife

comes down and collects it.

- Whose wife?

- Yes.

- After all, the man earns it.

- Who does?

Absolutely.

All I'm tryin' to find out is

what's the guy's name on first base?

No, What is on second base.

- Don't you think this is funny?

- Yes, it's funny.

- Where'd you see this first?

- Dad gave me a book on baseball trivia.

- Dad, huh?

- Yeah.

- Guess it didn't read as funny.

- Definitely not.

Hello, this is Dr. Bruner.

I'd Like you to call me.

Yeah, what is it?

I thought I got the machine.

I just got into town, and the

psychological interview is tomorrow.

Yes, sir, I know that.

I thought we should

get together and talk.

I think it might be in your

best interests to meet me.

When?

I'm at the Bonaventure.

How about tonight at 8:30?

Tomorrow you'll meet Dr. Marston,

who's in charge of Raymond's evaluation.

- Yeah, I know.

- I gave him boxes of files on Raymond.

- Good luck.

- This isn't a close call.

It's a formality. Your brother's

a very disabled individual.

Are you trying to tell me that

Marston's gonna rule against me?

No, I'm telling you

it's always been a lost cause.

- Then why did you call me?

- Let me tell you something.

Your father put me in charge

of all the money.

It doesn't matter whether or not

you win custody of Raymond.

I won't have to pay you a dime.

It's at my discretion.

- So you can't lose?

- I can lose Raymond.

I care about your brother's Life

and the treatment he receives.

I made a commitment to your father

some 20 years ago...

and I'm not willing

to gamble with that.

What is this?

It's a very big check.

$250,000.

And no strings attached.

Just walk away, Charlie.

This isn't about you and me.

It's not about winning or losing.

I asked you a week ago, why didn't

anyone ever tell me I had a brother?

You didn't have an answer.

I don't know.

I just realized

I'm not pissed off anymore...

my father cut me out of his will.

You probably knew he tried

to contact me over the years.

I never called him back.

I was a prick.

If he was my son and didn't return

my calls, I'd have written him out.

But it's not about

the money anymore.

You know,

I just don't understand.

Why didn't he tell me

I had a brother?

Why didn't anyone ever tell me

that I had a brother?

Because it'd have been nice to know him

for more than just the past six days.

Ray! Come on.

It stopped.

It's all right.

V-E-R-N.

Vern. Vern.

My main man, Vern.

V-E-R-N.

My main man, Vern.

V-E-R-N.

Vern, my main man.

They got raspberry, blueberry...

whole wheat, peachy keen,

beer nut, rocky road, buckwheat.

How about buckwheat?

What kind of pancakes you want, Ray?

- Pancakes.

- What kind?

- Pancakes.

- Of course.

The maple syrup is supposed to be

on the table before the pan--

Charlie Babbitt made a joke.

- I made a joke, Ray.

- Yeah.

Step back a little bit.

Hello?

Why don't you go

sit down over there?

Hello?

This is not a legal proceeding,

so there's no judge present...

just the people

who care about Raymond.

Raymond, have a seat over there.

Mr. Babbitt, other side of the table.

Raymond, right here.

How about this seat?

- Take this seat.

- Put your knapsack on the floor.

This is a good opportunity

to be honest with one another.

Ray, the TV?

On the floor. I'm sorry.

I don't know an easy way

to say this, Mr. Babbitt--

Have I lost already?

No, you haven't lost.

I'm not the judge and jury.

I'm just making

a recommendation to a court.

I must tell you that Dr. Bruner

is a very respected professional.

Raymond's case has been meticulously

documented over the years...

and Wallbrook is one of the

finest institutions in this country.

You've made up your mind.

I'll see you in court.

My brother came further with me

than he did with you in 20 years.

- It's not necessary to--

- You don't know anything about us.

- It's not necessary to challenge him.

- I'm sorry.

Exactly what happened

this past week, Raymond?

- We got to know each other.

- I was asking Raymond.

Raymond, what happened

this past week?

- What did you do?

- Counted cards.

- Counted cards?

- Counted cards in Las Vegas.

- Your brother took you to Las Vegas?

- Lost $3,000 on the wheel of fortune.

Gave you $3,000 to gamble with?

Lost $3,000 on pitiful 20.

- And what else did you do?

- Bet on number 20.

- What else did you do?

- Danced with Charlie Babbitt.

- Danced with your brother?

- He wanted to learn.

Danced in the elevator with Susanna.
