It seems as if that "someone" is Raymond, Charlie's unknown brother, an autistic savant who lives in a world of his own, resides at the Walbrook Institute.

executed concurrently herewith.'

What does that mean?

It means that the estate,

in excess of $3 million...

after expenses and taxes,

will go into a trust fund...

for a beneficiary

to be named in this document.

- Who is that?

- I'm afraid I can't tell you that.

- Who controls the money? You?

- No. He's called a trustee.

What is that?

How does that work?

Forgive me,

but there's nothing more I can say.

I'm sorry, son.

I can see that you're disappointed.

Why should I be disappointed?

I got rose bushes, didn't l?

What's his name got--

- What'd you call him? The--

- Beneficiary.

He got $3 million,

but he didn't get the rose bushes.

I definitely got

the rose bushes.

- Charles.

- I mean, those are rose bushes.

- There's no need--

- To what?

To be upset?

To be upset?

If there is a hell, sir,

my father's in it...

and he is looking up right now

and he is laughing his ass off.

Sanford Babbitt. You wanna be

that guy's son for five minutes?

- Were you Listening to that letter?

- Yes, sir, I was.

Were you?

No. Could you repeat it?

'Cause I can't believe my f***in' ears.

I was looking for you.

How did it go?

I got what I expected.

Susanna, this could take

a few minutes.

- Can I help you?

- I think you can.

I have a problem with a private trust

and-- That's a terrific suit.

- Thank you.

- My father was Sanford Babbitt.

Is this Wallbrook?

Excuse me.

Is this Wallbrook?

Excuse me.

Dr. Bruner is still in conference.

Would you Like

to wait in his office?

No, we'll stay here.

Thank you.

Maybe we're not supposed

to be looking around here.

Good to have you here.

Good luck to all three of you.

Twenty dollars starts you all

on an important match.

In what 1980 comedy film did Goldie Hawn

get away from it all? Lisa?

- 'Private Benjamin.'

- Excuse me, please.

I'd Like to watch

the TV, please.

For whose grandson was the

presidential retreat Camp David named?

- Lisa?

- Eisenhower.

Right, for David Eisenhower.

You've got another five.

Ten-dollar lead for Lisa.

In days of yore, what would

a swashbuckler keep in his sheath?

Whatever this is, I don't understand

the point of secrecy.

This patient is an old

girlfriend of my father's?

I knew your father

since you were two years old.

The year my mother died.

I'm trustee of the fund, but this

hospital receives nothing from that.

Maybe that's something

we could discuss.

I took on this burden out of loyalty

to your father. My loyalty ends there.

And you think

I should feel that loyalty?

I think you feel cheated

out of your birthright...

by a man who had

difficulty showing love.

And I think if I were in your shoes,

I'd probably feel the same.
