The scene with the bath tub where Charlie learns everything about why Raymond was taken away and who the Rain Man is, makes me cry every time I see it. It's heart wrenching.

Charlie Babbitt (Tom Cruise) never spoke to his father again because he left Charlie in jail for two days when he was 16, not because he wouldn't let him drive the car. And in Charlie's mind, he thought his dad cared more about the car than his own son to leave him in jail for two days. It's a pretty legitimate reason for Tom Cruise to resent his father, since his father was never able to show love. Raymond DID hurt Charlie when he was an infant, unintentionally. Raymond burned Charlie in a scalding hot bath as an infant ("hot water burn baby") and why Raymond kept repeating "never hurt Charlie Babbitt". That's why his father put him away, which was unfortunate. But it doesn't make sense why his father kept Raymond a secret from Charlie though. But I have to imagine the father had a little resentment towards Charlie, since Charlie was the reason Raymond had to be put in a home.

Yes watching Charlie learn to care about another is great..but I always loved how Ray learned how to live more through Charlie. Both morals show they both needed each other.

Rain Man was inspired by a real savant named Kim Peek. When the writer of the script, Barry Marrow, met Kim Peek for the first time he was so fascinated by him that he decided to create a character based on Kim and wrap a story around him. When the film was set into production Morrow brought Dustin Hoffman to meet Kim, and Dustin spent the whole day studying him. After Rain Man won all of its Academy Awards, one of which was for best screenplay, Barry Morrow gave the Oscar statue to Kim Peek to carry with him on all of the speaking engagements he went to around the world. Because of this the Oscar statue has been held by more people than any other Oscar statue. It has since been referred to as "The Most Loved Oscar Statue". If you want to learn more about Kim Peek there is a documentary on KZfaq titled "Kim Peek -- The Real Rain Man" you can watch. It's an amazing documentary about an extraordinary man.

You're right, Kazzy. Charlie Babbitt is a self centered jerk at the beginning of the film. Watching his character development over time as he learns to care about his brother and other people has made this one of my top tier films over the years.

Not long after this was released, the real "Rain Man," Kim Peek, with whom Hoffman spent a great deal of time, made an appearance on "Sunday Morning, CBS." His mom said he had heard a random name called out, on the way into the studio and in between showing off his math skills, Kim kept repeating, in a VERY funny voice, "Chaaaarrrrrlie Gumble!" Hoffman nailed him.

It was wonderful to see this movie through the eyes of someone who’s never seen. I’ve probably seen this movie close to 50 times. It’s an absolute masterpiece. Your right about the score of this film. It’s beautifully done.

I found your channel through your reaction to 'Jaws'. I'm very happy to see this one, as 'Rain Man' has been a favorite movie of mine for years. In the end Raymond was 'spelling out' Charlie's name and saying 'My Main Man' He used to use "Main man' with Vern, a worker at Wallbrook. The road trip and bonding between Charlie and Raymond was the best part of the film for me.

As a curious fact, this was Hans Zimmer's first job in Hollywood, and it could be said that the one that made him known and famous in Hollywood, after this movie, many directors wanted him for the music of their movies. And it´s obvious, the music of this film is beautiful and very unusual for that time, flutes and synthesizers, it's a weird mix and the result is beautiful.

My daughter is on the ASD spectrum (she would be what used to be called "Asperger's syndrome"), but is highly functional and very social. But has had considerable problems with the complexities of social interactions and understanding other people's motivations. She has gotten a lot better and is actually a great help to her many friends when they have problems. Sometimes I have a hard time understanding how she thinks, but visa versa as well. COVID-19 has definitely thrown her for a loop, but she is strong and will get through it.

My youngest son has autism, though he's nothing like Raymond (he's very social and friendly). But the challenges Charlie faced in the movie, and how it changed him for the better, certainly resonate with me. My son is a wonderful person and I wouldn't trade my experiences with him for anything.

Really great reaction, Kazzy. I was very invested because this is a very personal film for me. You see, I am on the spectrum. I watched this film for many years before I was diagnosed. I always loved it even before I was. After a while, I started seeing things that were there in the film that were relatable for me. I felt it but I didn't know what it was yet. After I was diagnosed, the film and the character of Raymond gained extra significance for me. Raymond was, at some point, going to be mentally disabled and happy. He was pretty much going to be portrayed how almost all people who were considered "retarded" in TV and film. But Dustin Hoffman insisted that Raymond should be an autistic savant and be withdrawn. Bless him for that choice because that made SUCH a difference. Rain Man came out in 1988. Incidentally, the year I was born. Anyway, up to that point mainstream or public awareness/understanding of autism and people on the spectrum wasn't very high. Certainly not in pop culture or media. But Rain Man became the highest grossing film of 1988 and won several Oscars, including Best Picture so it was a game changer. That made such a difference for people who are autistic or who are on the spectrum. It kind of gave us a voice or an identity, I think. Raymond gave people a face and a personality that they could remember and connect to and Hoffman's portrayal and the film itself helped or gave many people a chance or a reason to be aware of, understanding of, and to empathize with people like Raymond and people like myself. We are the way we are with both our struggles and our gifts. Our challenges and our growths. Our unique minds and big hearts. And for that and more, I'm very grateful for this film and the significance it has had on me personally. And I thank the people who made it and I appreciate anyone that has found something moving in this film, anyone who has supported it, and for anyone that found something meaningful or enlightening in it.

Hey Kazzy, what a great movie I’m glad you like this one definitely one of Tom cruises best performances unfortunately forgotten due to the outstanding performance of Dustin Hoffman movie making at its best have a great one as always👍

That's my favourite Beatles song and Kazzy is a Goddess

I can see why Hoffman won the Oscar, but I tend to agree with Siskel or Ebert (forgot which one) who said during an Oscar-themed episode of their show that Cruise deserved the Oscar more because he had to transform ever so slowly as the movie progresses, whereas Hoffman, by virtue of his condition, was unable to experience much growth, beyond a few things (like the Kmart joke at the end). That scene when Raymond tilts his head to touch Charlie's was when Cruise figured out, I think, that Raymond was incapable of changing, wanting to hug him, etc., and Charlie made peace with this reality.

Thank you, Kazzy! 🕶️ RAIN MAN is one of my all-time favez... and it still holds up.

I have always interpreted Ray guessing wrong on the spinning wheel game as them implying that the game was rigged, not that Ray wasn't right.

I've had a hard time dealing with the outside. Am I on the spectrum? Am I different than others? I don't know. All I know is when it comes to social situations, I'm not the best. Anxiety causes me to lock up sometimes. This movie is wonderful because in 1988 we knew nothing about autism and the various mental issues that surround it. And, well, Dustin Hoffman.

I love this movie, Tom Cruise played a really good part in it in the first three quarters of the movie you really hate his guts because he's self-centered and he's always thinking about money. But towards the end he really bonds with his brother and he softens up. And it's good to see that character Ark in him and the connection he makes with his brother.

My son was diagnosed at age two & half back in 1992. When the specialist told me in her office that he was Autistic, the only thing I could think of was to ask her "you mean like in Rain Man?". He is now 31 and we are both very close and do everything together. I even taught skiing to him and others with Autism out west. Prior to Covid I volunteered and ran a bagel baking club once per week for him and others with a variety of Special Needs, called 'N'able Bagel' which has a video about us on KZfaq. Your reaction was spot on btw, and nice to see someone who lets the film speak for itself. Please keep up the good work, joe.

Absolutly beautiful movie. The performance by Dustin Hoffman is just mindblowing. Haven't seen acting that good since "Scent of a Woman" with Al Pacino.

Little piece of trivia, Tom Cruise was training to be a catholic priest in Cincinnati before being kicked out for swiping alcohol that was before he made it as an actor.

This was good when it first came out when people didn't know what autism is, but it did promote a lot of misperceptions about autism. Having raised a child with autism I've had to struggle against a lot of those misperceptions even while many who hold them may be well intentioned. Great movie, though, and GREAT sweater!

As someone that has a high functioning brother and husband. And also two sons with level 3 low severe non verbal autism. This movie is accurate on so many levels and Dustin does a great job and so does tom with the way he comes around bc it is hard to deal with all the little things that have to be a certain way. But once you know it its second nature and he gets that groove finally and loves him finds who his brother is underneath everything else

Everyone has there own opinion about Tom Cruise, but I have to say this is probably his best work ever. I don't have to say anything about Dustin Hoffman or the film, both great.

I love how you fell for Tom Cruise's character... And in the end, Charlie is the one who changes😀😀😀

There's an older song about fashion that goes, everything old is new again. Very true 👍.

When Raymond said, "Charlie Babbitt, main man." Then leaned his head to touch Charlie's, Dustin Hoffman improvised that line. Cruise wasn't expecting that and later in an interview said it touched him to tears, and his response to Raymond was improvised by himself. Knowing that, the scene is so much more poignant than it already was. Actually Dustin did the head tap first then spelled out Charlie and then said main man. I went by what Cruise said in the interview. Filming sequence can change. Either way, it's a beautiful scene.

I know this is an older video and I’m late to the party, but I enjoyed watching this reaction! This is an underrated movie and not many KZfaqrs have reacted to it. A few points about Charlie - he didn’t necessarily stop talking to his father because he wouldn’t let him drive the car - it was more than that. It was that he felt abandoned and unloved by his father, who left Charlie in jail for two days. Charlie talks about how nothing he ever did was good enough for his father. Taking the car was likely him acting out in an attempt to get attention from his dad. Instead of getting any attention, concern, or love - his father left him in jail. And beyond that, it seems his father never truly understood that Charlie stopped speaking with him because he felt neglected. The fact that in his letter he frames it as “you overreacted and ended the relationship purely out of pettiness because of a car” is a dick move, and shows that the father really had no idea what that car incident was truly about - Charlie needing/wanting love and attention from his father. This also makes Charlie’s reaction to the letter make more sense: for him, those words aren’t the loving words of a father. They’re the words of a father that neglected him throughout his entire childhood, and then when the car incident happened and it was the last straw for Charlie after years of feeling neglected - his father forever used that situation as a way to blame him for the relationship ending. His father refused to acknowledge that his neglect and making his son feel unloved was the REAL reason that he lost his son. When you look at it from that point of view, that letter is basically a slap in the face and Charlie’s anger is 100% justified. This idea that the father really did neglect Charlie is made stronger when we learn what really happened with Raymond: the motel bathtub “hot water” scene implies that Raymond did, at one point, actually hurt Charlie with hot water. That’s why Raymond was sent away from the family - to protect Charlie. This is a perfect motive for the father resenting Charlie and refusing to give him the love and attention that children need. It makes me believe that he neglected Charlie as a way to punish him. And on top of that, the mother died around the same time, which probably didn’t help the situation at all. The father had to choose one son over the other, losing one son to an institution and then losing his wife, and all that was left was Charlie. Poor Charlie likely became the target of all the father’s anger and resentment, and it resulted in a child being neglected. As someone with narcissists in the family, it’s pretty likely that their father was a narcissist. When you take into account everything I’ve already mentioned, that final letter actually comes across like a narcissistic taking one last shot at someone who ‘wronged them.’ Narcissists always make themselves out to be the victim: they will mistreat a person, and when that person finally snaps and retaliates (or leaves the narcissist behind), they will say and do anything to gaslight and try to make that person feel like THEY are the one being unreasonable and the narcissist is the one who was ‘wronged.’ If the father truly neglected Charlie, then his letter is just another attempt to paint himself as a victim and make Charlie out to be the one responsible for the relationship ending. It’s hard to know for sure, but there are many signs that their father was not a kind man and probably neglected Charlie as a way to punish him for things he was in no way responsible for. Think of it from this perspective: a parent neglects and doesn’t provide their child with a healthy connection, the child acts out as a response, and the parent gets angry at the child for acting out instead of realizing that they themselves are the problem. That’s the vibe I get from the father, and why I think he’s likely a narcissist. Once you realize all of this, Charlie’s behavior makes a lot more sense. You also mentioned that it seemed as though he could be on the spectrum, and this is actually on purpose. Charlie was written to be ‘emotionally autistic,’ meaning that he struggles to connect with people in a way that parallels autism. This stunted emotional growth likely stems from his childhood: from losing his mother at a young age, and having a neglectful narcissist as a father. The lack of healthy relationship and connection would definitely result in the type of person that Charlie is - someone with stunted emotional development. His inability to connect purposefully mirrors Raymond’s inability to connect, and the whole point of the movie is that throughout their journey BOTH of them form a connection, and this teaches Charlie how to connect and form a healthy relationship - likely, something he’d never truly experienced before. At one point in the movie, someone says this about Raymond: “I don’t think people are his first priority” and as it’s said, Charlie is shown on screen. It illustrates the similarity between Charlie and his autistic brother, that Charlie is emotionally handicapped in ways that make him parallel to Raymond. I think what fully shows his growth as a character is that when his girlfriend Susanna shows up in Vegas, Charlie is suddenly eager for connection and invested in their relationship. It’s such a stark contrast to how he treated their relationship earlier in the movie. Through his experience with Raymond, he himself healed and learned how to open his heart to vulnerability and truly communicate with and therefore connect with others. This is genuinely one of my favorite movies of all time, and I can never watch it without crying. So glad you enjoyed it and hopefully my little essay helps give Charlie’s character a bit more context! :)

"How's that feel?" "Very slippery." I agree. Most suntan lotions feel awful.

I have an autistic brother and the stuff about reliance on routine and resistance to any change is 100% accurate.

Great reaction. If you're a fan if Dustin Hoffman and want to see him in an intense movie with one of the greatest actors of all time (Lawrence Olivier) I recommend watching 'Marathon Man' and as a bonus Roy Scheider (chief Brody from Jaws) is also in it.

The movie is beautiful with an amazing performance by Hoffman. The problem with this movie is that many people thinks this is what autism is. And it might be. But it is also so much more. Autism isn't defined by this movie. So if you hear about a person having autism please don't immediately think "oh, he's like Rainman then".

You must remember that Charlie lost his mother at 2 and his brother ... he never has a close relationship with his father, so he was forced to care for himself and in the process became self focused. What we saw though was Charlie transform when he learnt he had a brother. After 6 days with Raymond he was a better person. And at the end Raymond called Charlie his main man, which showed how much be had grown towards Charlie as well.

The song Fred Astaire is singing is called "They Can't Take That Away from Me." It was composed by the Gershwin brothers -- George (melody) and Ira (lyrics), in 1937. Astaire's character sings it to Ginger Rogers's character in the 1937 movie Shall We Dance. It also was featured in The Barkleys of Broadway (1949), also with Astaire and Rogers. It is the latter movie which is shown on Raymond's portable TV.

Wonderful movie. Outstanding performance by Dustin Hoffman... Your reaction as always full of empathy👍

One of my fave films of all-time - beautifully realized on all accounts production wise with career-defining turns by Hoffman & Cruise (the latter also s/won an Oscar). Make sure to see Hoffman in THE GRADUATE if you haven't - the film that made him a a star & household name. I love the fact that Charlie is metaphorically autistic and his arc is truly remarkable giving hope to any one cynical about love for another human being. If you don't tear up or straight-up cry out loud you are made of stone and I don't want to know you. Nice job Kazzy :D

There are only a handful of savants in the world. But they are really quite extraordinary.

One of my favorite films of all time, and one of my favorite acting performances in cinema history (Dustin Hoffman was brilliant, and it was his idea for Raymond to be autistic and had the script rewrote as a result). Kazzy, all due respect, but I laughed out loud when you said "Charlie, stop it"! You sounded like Mama Kazzy scolding Lil Grogu for eating all the cookies lol! Back to the film, I just love the character development of Charlie, and how he realizes that Raymond needs 24/7 care to help keep his routines and rituals in check so that he doesn't have an episode and cause harm to himself. And the smoke alarm scene was a foreshadow that despite his newfound love, Charlie just can't take care of his brother, but he just can't bear to back down until the end of the hearing scene..... I love that the film ended with Raymond going back there, because he was going to be more than okay and get visits from his brother : )

When you asked about the Oscar, I remember that Dustin Hoffman had indeed won Best Actor for "Rain Man." (Which you noted.) But it reminded me that he had also won an Oscar for another role, but I couldn't remember what role. I checked it out and discovered it was for "Kramer vs Kramer." I remember his nomination for "Tootsie." However, I was surprised to find that he had also been nominated for Best Actor Oscars for four other roles. The man is quite the actor.

I think Hans Zimmer’s scores in films like Cool Runnings and Rain Man are way better than his more recent scores that sound more like sounds being used.

Nice reaction to Rain Man Kazzy.🙂 I've seen this like 3 times and enjoyed it. Love your sweater BTW.🥰✌️

i love movies like this. rain man, good will hunting, dead poets society, a few good men

Kazzy I love your reactions. This is one of my favorite movies about a brother's love. The part with the water and singing. You knew Raymond loved his little brother. I cannot imagine the devastation he would have felt if he realized he was being taken from his brother because the parents thought he would hurt Charlie when it was the opposite. Raymond would do anything to protect his baby brother. But you can feel the pain just from Charlie realizing that fact. I am so glad you caught the head touching and that Raymond initiated it. It was his version of hugging. Which is rare to see that sign. I could see the change in Charlie too as I was disgusted at doctors working him up just to make a point and Charlie being the one to stop it and inform them you don't have to humiliate him. The doctors were wrong in one part. Charlie could have a relationship with his brother. Yes, it would be typical, but you can tell just from 6 days there was a bond. I like that it flipped now Charlie was the protective brother and wanted the best for Raymond.

I love that moment when Charlie realizes who Raymond is.

The blackjack dealer in Vegas also appeared in Martin Scorsese's film 'Casino' as a blackjack dealer when Joe Pesci was playing at his table.

Some may contribute financially but you let us into your soul in a way and that is priceless...🤗💫💙

As the (second) youngest brother in the family, me and my father watched this yesterday. Well, after hearing about the hell my parents went through to get my older (autistic) brother to the point where he is now, it made me realize that even through my (metaphorical, not medical) depression that... My problems are miniscule compared to the ones anyone around me has. Unhealthy? Yeah. Does it help? Kind of.

I love this movie. I loved Ramond and felt so bad for him. Dustin Hoffman is a gold star actor! He was fantastic in this!!! I cried like you did.

At 41:00 - He wasn't saying "Rain Man", he was saying "Main Man", which is what Raymond used to call Vern, back at the Institution.

What is missed by some people is this film is really about a young man know never felt loved by his father and so kidnaps his elder brother out of jealousy. The 'half' of the money Charlie wants is really the 'half' of the love given by his father almost exclusively to Raymond. When Charlie learns that the Rain Man -the supposedly imaginary friend who was the only person who comforted him -is actually the brother who he has, until now, resented, the emotional change is one of the most compelling and authentic revelations in cinema. They simply don't make them like this any more because there is no faith left that people want to experience sophisticated, heartfelt films. But you make a film this good, you will reach people.

After the Rain Man shoot wrapped, in the late '80s, Hoffman decided that he wanted to purchase one of the two 1949 Buick Roadmaster convertibles used in the filming of the movie. Hoffman has owned the car ever since. The yellow classic automobile that Daniel polishes in the famous "wax-on/wax-off" training scene, then later offered by Mr. Miyagi as Daniel's birthday gift, was actually given to Ralph Macchio by the producer, and he still owns it. The car is a 1948 Ford Super De Luxe.

Such a great movie it will never get old! Great job cool Christmas sweater!

If you want to see more great films with Hoffman: Midnight Cowboy, Little Big Man, Papillion, Lenny, Marathon Man, Tootsie. I suppose while you're at it you should check out Top Hat with Ginger Rodgers and Fred Astaire

So adorable in your giant, woolly winter socks.

It is so interesting how this film happened and how it was Dustin Hoffman who approached Tom Cruise about wanting to do a film together and Rain Man was made specifically for Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise to work together. Because in reality the two actors were portraying different aged people compared to the real people they were supposed to be portraying.

Movie is beyond a cult classic. It won best picture, director, actor & screenplay. also the highest grossing film of that year

Thank you, regarding the cutaways. Stay safe. All the best to you.

Converse sneakers were in style for decades before that too probably. They've never been out of style.

97X! Bammm the future of rock & roll! 97X! Bammm the future of rock & roll! 97X! Bammm the future of rock & roll!

I stopped in my tracks to watch your reaction! This is one of my favorite movies of all time!!!

Zimmer's music in the late 80's/early 90's was pretty fucking unique, in the best way.

Thank you so much for not seeing this till i could watch it with you for your first time. 'Very nice reaction - I really enjoyed that. Anytime i see Hans Zimmer on the billing, i know that i'll be hearing a great score. He's done the music for many of my favorite movies. Have you seen TRUE ROMANCE (1993)? If not, i would recommend it for a reaction. Incredible film, RAIN MAN. What a performance from Dustin Hoffman. And such a clever story; Tom Cruise's character is pretty thoroughly detestable from the start, yet his transformation throughout the film is so complete that by the end, you love the guy. Raymond is his redemption. There's a film that shares a kinship with RAIN MAN at some ethereal level, and if you haven't seen it, i'd like to request that you react to it here: AWAKENINGS (1990) Robin Williams and Robert De Niro. Thanks again for this reaction. 'Nice watching it with you.

Daniel's car from KK, was a yellow 1947 Ford Super Deluxe convertable.

The doctor interviewing Charlie and Raymond at the end was Barry Levinson, the director, and the doctor who was in charge of looking after Raymond is Gerald Molen who I think produced this movie as well as Jurrasic Park. He was also in Jurrasic Park as the triceratops doctor.

Parts of this were filmed not far from me in the Cincinnati / Covington area

Appreciate your reaction! Shout out from NYC!!!! 😎👍😎👍

Rain Man is a great great great film. 💕

This is when Hoffman was at his peak. He was in the same league as De Niro. His career kinda went downhill after wag the dog. But his 20 year stretch between 1968 and 1988 was legendary. From graduate to Rain Man. He was probably the most versatile actor among the Pacino De Niro Nicholson Hackman generation.

I don't think Charlie's issue with his dad is that he wouldn't let him drive the car. After he took the car, his father called the cops on his own son and then allowed him to sit in jail without bailing him out. I'm not making any judgements on whether his dad was right or wrong but there was a lot more going on in their relationship than just the car.

I was going to get some sleep but I had to stay up and watch your reaction. I made the right choice. Great reaction, Kazzy.

Saw this years ago good film I'd knew you'd like it another thumbs up.

Your laugh is just the best haha.

Excellent reaction. Definitely. Definitely an excellent reaction.

Hoffman was magic in this movie.

First time watched you yesterday.. good reaction to a iconic movie.. I subscribed and liked.. good work 🙂👍

Another great movie on mental illness is a beautiful mind with russel Crowe. It’s an amazing movie. Very beautiful and moving in so many ways and action slid in there too

You understand why Charlie's father resented him after he put Raymond away. I think Charlie's mother was the glue that held the family together. When she died, everything fell apart.

Hope you have an great and awesome day Kazzy. Much ❤ as always

The film that showed Cruise can actually act. Just a shame that he's up against the *genius* that is Dustin Hoffman. Stunning performance from him. Stunning. They should've just handed him the Oscar when his Limo pulled up.

The back guy at the 9:52 mark is in two episodes of Quantum Leap.

Another movie of that kind is 'Temple Grandin', I very recommend you to watch. :)

What a beautiful reaction

I'm a newbie to this channel. I had discovered your channel on my feed. 97X is a station out in Oxford, Ohio. It switched to modern rock in September 1983. Its call letters is WOXY. They are now an internet radio station.

Winner of 4 Oscars including Best Picture. This movie shows an accurate portrayal of people on the Austism spectrum. I'm on the Spectrum as well.

I love the opening song to Rainman. I saw the ending to this film on TV before I saw the opening. I saw the Las Vegas scenes first before I saw the rest of the film. The film I don’t remember seeing the whole film all the way through is Patch Adams with Robin Williams.

I believe to this day quantas never lost a plane!

Heh whenever people say Dustin whether it's hoffman or poirier it always kind of makes me laugh, "they're talking about me" not really 😅

I too thought that I had seen Jaws until I found out that it was the land shark 🦈 on Saturday night live and Chevy Chase was the shark.

It's amazing that Raymond is based on a real person. I forget his name.

One minute to Wapner.😊

Beautiful movie, beautiful reaction kazzy... and u look beautiful too lol.

Many people today have a negative attitude towards Tom Cruise but he is a very good actor. Dustin Hoffman is one of the best ever and together they are so good.

I read where Tom Cruise grew up in Canada during his early years

Now you have to watch 1989 movie The Wizard, which was Rain Main for kids.

THE GRADUATE is another iconic Dustin Hoffman film. He's so good in it. Then there's STRAIGHT TIME from 1978 where he plays a criminal and he's completely different.

Awesome reaction. You got yourself a new subscriber.

The fart scene was improvised. Dustin Hoffman actually farted and him and Tom Cruise went with it.

I remember my parents watching it. Never understood as a kid.

32:39 - ". . . you can't expect him to be perfect at all these games." Well, I expect Raymond to be perfect, and my interpretation is that it's not a fair wheel.
