Kissed Susanna.

- You kissed Susanna?

- Yeah, in the elevator.

- Did you enjoy kissing a woman?

- I don't know.

- How did it feel?

- It felt wet.

- Wet?

- Yeah.

- Quite a trip, huh?

- Yeah.

- Did you enjoy being on the road?

- I'm an excellent driver.

- You drove?

- Yeah.

-Your brother let you drive the highway?

-Slow on the driveway.

He didn't drive on the highway.

- Did he have any emotional outbursts?

- What do you mean?

Well, things they tend to do when--

Inflict bodily harm on themselves.

- Yeah, a couple of times.

- A couple of times?

He had what you call an outburst at

the airport because he didn't wanna fly.

- So we didn't fly.

- When was his last outburst?

- This morning when--

- This morning?

This is bullshit, because I could

tell you anything or tell you nothing.

You'd never know the difference.

This morning the smoke alarm went off.

He got nervous,

but he's fine now.

Don't feel as I'm

placing any blame.

We went out for pancakes.

He's fine.

- You don't have to be defensive.

- I'm just being honest with you.

- You're missing the point.

- I'm being truthful about this.

I'm not placing any blame--

I had a father I hardly knew,

a mother I didn't know at all.

I find out now that I have a brother,

and I'm supposed to give him up?

No one is saying anything.

I didn't hurt him, he's not hurting me,

we're not hurting you.

- Why are you interfering?

- I'm not interfering.

- This is my family.

- I understand that.

Your brother is not capable

of having a relationship with you.

That's your opinion. Did you spend 24

hours a day, seven days a week with him?

You cannot care for your brother

without professional guidance.

- That's your opinion.

- Yes, it's my opinion.

There's some things

I'd Like to go over.

Dr. Bruner states a week ago you

stole Raymond out of the institution...

and were willing to trade him

for $1.5 million, correct?

My father died.

I was upset.

That was wrong.

Last week you were upset, and this week

you've found a devotion to him...

and you want to

take care of him.

Yes.

From the beginning

it was Like a kidnapping.

Kidnapping. That's very strong.

I didn't kidnap my brother.

But in the course of a week, you came

to have an understanding with him.

Yes.

- Look, that--

- Yes?

I understand that this sounds

irrational to you.

When it started out--

- Don't feel compelled to be defensive.

- Can I talk?

- Yes, you can.

- Thank you.

There's no accusations.

Go ahead.

No accusations?

See, you have to understand...

that when we started out together

that he was only my brother...

in name.

And then...

this morning we had pancakes.

Maple syrup.

Maple syrup on the--

Maple syrup on the table.

And Charlie Babbitt made a joke.

See, we--

I made a connection.

I think it's admirable

that you made a connection...

but the purpose of this meeting is to

determine what is best for Raymond...

whether or not he's capable

of functioning in the community...

and what, in fact, he wants,

if that's possible to determine.

I'm all for that.

- Raymond's unable to make decisions.

- You're wrong.

He can't decide for himself.

He's capable

of a lot more than you know.

Why don't we ask Raymond?

Raymond, can I ask you

a few questions?

- The doctor's talking to you.

- Can I ask you a few questions?

Do you wanna stay

with your brother?

Raymond, would you Like to stay

with your brother in Los Angeles?

The doctor's asking you a question.

- So you listen.

- Yeah.

Raymond, do you wanna stay

with your brother Charlie?

- Do you wanna stay with your brother?

- Yeah.

- You do?

- Yeah.

You wanna stay with your brother?

Yeah. I wanna stay with

my brother Charlie Babbitt.

- That's what you want?

- Yeah.

- You wanna stay with your brother?

- Yeah.

- Can I ask you something else?

- Yeah.

- You wanna go back to Wallbrook?

- Yeah.

Raymond, can you make a distinction

between your brother and Wallbrook?

Yeah.

- Do you wanna stay with your brother?

- Yeah.

- Or do you wanna go to Wallbrook?

- Yeah.

They're two separate things.

Your brother or Wallbrook?

It's not one thing, Raymond.

- Back to Wallbrook, stay with Charlie.

- Okay.

- Back to Wallbrook, stay with Charlie.

- Can you make that choice?

- One or the other.

- Go back to Wallbrook.

All right.

Just hold on here.

All right.

All right.

You made your point.

You don't have to humiliate him.

Ray, it's okay.

- It's over.

- Yeah.

Stay back at Wallbrook

with Charlie Babbitt.

- Stay back at Wallbrook--

- It's over.

- Raymond?

- Yeah.

Dr. Bruner, can I talk to you?

Excuse me.

- You okay, Ray?

- Yeah.

- You don't want more questions, do you?

- No.

I don't know.

- You don't want more questions, do you?

- No.

- There won't be any more questions.

- Yeah.

- I'll make sure of that.

- Yeah, main man.

- What?

- My main man.

Listen.

Ray, I don't know if I'm gonna

have a chance to talk to you again.

Because you see, these--

Dr. Bruner really likes you a lot,

and he's probably gonna take you back.

- You know?

- Yeah.

What I said about being

on the road with you I meant.

Connecting.

- I Like having you for my brother.

- I'm an excellent driver.

Yes, you are.

I Like having you

for my big brother.

C-H-A-R-L-l-E.

C-H-A-R-L-l-E.

Main man.

May I have your attention, please?

Amtrak train number 36,

the Desert Wind, eastbound...

now boarding, track number three.

- Fullerton, San Bernardino, Barstow...

- Ray.

Las Vegas, Salt Lake City,

Denver, Omaha, Chicago.

- Hello, Charlie.

- Dr. Bruner.

Hello, Raymond.

Wouldn't you feel more relaxed

in your favorite Kmart clothes?

Tell him, Ray.

- Kmart sucks.

- I see.

I have the tickets, and I'll be on

this car right here to the right.

Why don't you take a couple of minutes?

See you, Charlie.

You made a joke, Ray.

I guess I'd better give this to you.

You're gonna have to carry this now.

It's got your cheeseballs,

your apple juice...

notebooks, pens and...

'Who's On First?' video

that you Like.

- 'Who's On First?' is very funny.

- I told you it's funny.

Board!

- Better get goin'.

- Very shiny train.

Yeah, it sure is.

Now listen, Ray.

Dr. Bruner only has custody of you.

That doesn't mean I can't visit.

I'm comin' to see you in two weeks.

- How many days is that?

- Fourteen days from today.

- Today's Wednesday.

- And hours?

Mystifying.

'Course, that's 20,160 minutes.

Ray?

I'll see you soon.

Yeah.

One for bad, two for good.

Bet two for good.

Three minutes to Wapner.

You'll make it.
