:57:03
He said, 'Young man, go west'...
:57:06
and this is the way
our country developed...
:57:08
from the East Coast
to the West Coast.
:57:11
During that period of time...
:57:13
there was initiated...
:57:16
what was known as
the Pony Express.
:57:20
I'm sure you have read something about
it in the history of the United States.
:57:24
I may not have the days
or the years exactly right...
:57:27
but I'm more or less familiar
with the history of the United States.
:57:31
- I love to tell the story--
- He's 'artistic'?
:57:34
No, he's autistic.
:57:35
I'm not familiar with that.
:57:38
What is the exact nature
of the problem?
:57:40
...in St. Joe's, Missouri--
:57:41
He lives in a world of his own.
:57:45
I'm sorry,
but what's wrong with him?
:57:48
It was a problem gettin' mail
from the East Coast--
:57:50
-Raymond, do 'What's On First?' for her.
-Who's on first. What's on second.
:57:57
They set up an initial program...
:58:01
where the Pony Express...
:58:03
would ride for approximately
20 miles--
:58:07
What am I supposed to do?
:58:09
There's gotta be something
that I can do here.
:58:12
Well, I'm not a psychiatrist...
:58:14
but I do know his brain doesn't work
Like other people.
:58:16
What he does
isn't intended to be annoying.
:58:18
If he's gettin' on your nerves,
take a break.
:58:21
- Spend time away from him.
- I'll just send him back.
:58:24
- Sorry?
- Nothing.
:58:26
Inside joke. You're telling me
I just have to deal with this?
:58:29
I just gotta deal with it.
:58:31
Yeah, that's about it.
:58:34
Out of curiosity, does he have
any special abilities?
:58:39
Well, he's got
a pretty good memory.
:58:41
He counts toothpicks.
:58:43
They spilled a box of toothpicks
on the floor...
:58:45
and he took one look and knew
exactly how many there were.
:58:48
- He counted 'em in seconds.
- Ray.
:58:51
- Raymond.
- Yeah.
:58:52
Are you good with numbers?
:58:54
- Yeah.
- I read about this.
:58:57
- I wanna try somethin' here.
- Kmart, 400 Oak Street.
:58:59
What'd I tell you?
After this.
