Susanna: He wouldn't notice if you left?

Vern: I'm not sure but I don't think people are his first priority.

Iris: So, what are you doing in Las Vegas?

Raymond: We're counting cards.

Iris: You're counting cards?

Raymond: We're counting cards.

Iris: That's interesting.

Raymond: We're counting cards.

Iris: I know you're counting cards, what else are you doing?

Raymond: Are you taking any prescription medication?

Charlie: I'll tell you a story about my father, that car in the garage, was off limits to me. He said it was a classic, it demands respect. One day, I'm a sophomore in high school, I bring home a report card, it's almost all A's so I go to the old man, ask him if I can take the car out as sort of a victory drive. He says no. So I stole the keys and snuck it out.

Susanna: You took the car with no permission? Why?

Charlie: You read Macbeth?

Raymond: Yes.

Charlie: So you read all these stories and you don't know if you read the book?

Charlie: He's not crazy, he's not retarded but he's here.

Dr. Bruner: He's an autistic savant. People like him used to be called idiot savants. There's certain deficiencies, certain abilities that impairs him.

Charlie: So he's retarded.

Dr. Bruner: Autistic. There's certain routines, rituals that he follows.

Charlie: Rituals, I like that.

Dr. Bruner: The way he eats, sleeps, walks, talks, uses the bathroom. It's all he has to protect himself. Any break from this routine leaves him terrified.

Raymond: Toothpicks.

Charlie: There's a lot more than 82 toothpicks, Ray.

Raymond: 246 total.

Charlie: How many?

Sally Dibbs: 250.

Charlie: Pretty close.

Sally Dibbs: There's four left in the box.

Charlie: Now casinos have house rules: they don't like to lose. So you never show that you're counting cards. That is *the* cardinal sin, Ray.

Raymond: Counting cards is bad.

Charlie: Yes.

Raymond: I like to drive slow on the driveway.

Charlie: If you get this right, Ray, you can drive anywhere you want as slow as you want.

Charlie: Rain Man.

Raymond: Yeah?

Charlie: Let's play some cards!

Raymond: Yeah.

Charlie: Does Raymond know how much money he's inherited?

Dr. Bruner: No, he doesn't understand the concept of money.

Charlie: He doesn't understand the concept of money? He just inherited $3,000,000 and he doesn't understand the concept of money? Wow, good work, Dad. I'm getting fucking poetic here.

[Raymond is about to go back to Walbrook on a train. He and Charlie are saying goodbye]

[first lines]

Charlie: [on telephone] Now it's five and a half weeks and I'm still sitting on four Lamborghinis that can't meet spot emissions standards. Now, how many times you wash out with EPA?

Lenny: [on a separate line] Uh, yes sir, they're finally, uh, clearing EPA; uh, just one or two more days.

Charlie: Three times? You're really on a roll here, my friend; four cars, three times each - that's zip for twelve. What are you, a... mechanic, or a NASA engineer? Now listen, now, I told you I've never dealt with these Lamborghinis before, and yet you assured me that you can deliver these cars within that time frame. Don't, don't tell me that, 'cause I - I'm not even listening.

[after doctors left to make final decision about Raymond]

Charlie: [to Raymond] It's okay, Ray. It's over. No more questions. You don't have to answer anymore questions.

Charlie: [on phone with Raymond's place] Dr. Bruner, it's Charlie Babbitt.

Dr. Bruner: Where are you, son?

Charlie: That's not important. What matters is who I'm with.

Dr. Bruner: You have to bring him back, Mr. Babbitt. Do you understand me?

Charlie: Certainly. No problem. That will be $1.5 million please. I'll take it in cash, check, or a transfer.

Dr. Bruner: Why are you doing this?

Charlie: I'm not greedy. I just want my half.

Charlie: Raymond, what were you doing in my room?

Charlie: I heard noises.

Raymond: You heard noises? Well, those noises are none of your business.

Doctor: Ray, can we try something?

Raymond: Yeah.

Doctor: Do you know how much 312 x 123 is?

Doctor: Right.

Charlie: He's a genius!

Doctor: Ray! Do you know how much a square root of 2130 is?

Raymond: 4-6 point 1-5-1-9-2-3-0-4.

[the calculator shows 46.15192304]

Raymond: 2-3-0-4.

Charlie: That's amazing! He is amazing! He should work for NASA or something like that.

Doctor: [walking to Raymond] If you had a dollar... and you spent 50 cents, how much money would you have left?

Raymond: About 70...

Doctor: 70 cents?

Raymond: 70 cents.

Dr. Bruner: Well, Raymond? Aren't you more comfortable in your favorite K-Mart clothes?

Charlie: Tell him, Ray.

Raymond: K-Mart sucks.

Dr. Bruner: Oh, I see.

Charlie: Hey, Ray: you just made a joke.

Raymond: Yeah, a joke. Ha ha ha... ha.

[repeated line]

Raymond: Definitely not.

[repeated line]

Raymond: We have to go to K-Mart.

Charlie: What was it we cleared, eight-six thousand and change?

Raymond: Eighty-six thousand, five hundred...

Charlie: So, eighty thousand to pay the cars off. What did I say I had to pay to get the Rolex out of hock?

Raymond: Thirty-five hundred dollars.

Charlie: Thirty-five hundred. Don't have to pay for the rooms, they're comped. I'm free and clear, I'm going to go take a celebration piss. Don't go anywhere. While I'm gone, the sign says, "Don't walk."

Raymond: Don't walk.

Charlie: Don't walk.

Charlie: [on telephone] Yeah, room service, Suite 21. I'd like to order a large pizza.

Charlie: [to Susanna] Pepperoni, right?

Susanna: No, I don't want pepperoni.

Charlie: [on telephone] That's right. A large pepperoni. How long's that going to take? Bring some beer up for two, and orange soda. Tapioca pudding, you got tapioca pudding? Well just bring the closest thing. All right, great.

Dr. Bruner: Tomorrow morning, you'll meet Dr. Marston, who's in charge of Raymond's psychiatric evaluation.

Charlie: Yeah, I know.

Dr. Bruner: I gave him boxes of files on Raymond, boxes.

Charlie: Well, good luck.

Dr. Bruner: Look, this isn't a close call, son, it's a formality. Your brother's a very disabled individual.

Charlie: You trying to tell me that Marston's gonna rule against me? Is that why you called me up here?

Dr. Bruner: No, I'm telling you it's always been a lost cause, Charlie.

Charlie: Then what is this about? Why did you call me?

Dr. Bruner: Let me tell you something: your father put me in charge of all the money, all right?

Charlie: Yeah.

Dr. Bruner: And it doesn't matter whether or not you win custody of Raymond.

Charlie: Mm-hm.

Dr. Bruner: I won't have to pay you a dime. It's at my discretion, not the court's.

Charlie: What, so you can't lose?

Dr. Bruner: I can lose; I can lose Raymond. I happen to 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.

Charlie: [Dr. Bruner hands Charlie a check] What is this?

Dr. Bruner: It's a very big check.

Charlie: $250,000.

Dr. Bruner: And no strings attached. You just walk away., Charlie. You know, this isn't about you and me, it's not about winning or losing.

Charlie: When I asked you a week ago, 'Why didn't anyone tell me I had a brother?', you didn't have an answer, I don't know. It's funny, I just realized I'm not pissed off anymore that my father cut me out of his will. You were his friend, you probably knew that he tried to contact me a few times over the years. I never called him back, I was a prick; and if he was my son, didn't return my calls, I'd have written him out, fuck him. But it's not about the money any more. It's about... you know, I... just don't understand why didn't he tell me I had a brother? Why didn't you tell me I had a brother? Why didn't anyone ever tell me I had a brother? I mean... because it'd have been nice to know him for more than just these past six days.

[Charlie hands the check back to Dr. Bruner and walks away]
