What About Bob? Page #8

Synopsis: Doctor Leo Marvin, an egotistical psychotherapist in New York City, is looking forward to his forthcoming appearance on a "Good Morning America" telecast, during which he plans to brag about "Baby Steps," his new book about emotional disorder theories in which he details his philosophy of treating patients and their phobias. Meanwhile, Bob Wiley is a recluse who is so afraid to leave his own apartment that he has to talk himself out the door. When Bob is pawned off on Leo by a psychotherapist colleague, Bob becomes attached to Leo. Leo finds Bob extremely annoying. When Leo accompanies his wife Fay, his daughter Anna, and his son Siggy to a peaceful New Hampshire lakeside cottage for a month-long vacation, Leo thinks he's been freed from Bob. Leo expects to mesmerize his family with his prowess as a brilliant husband and remarkable father who knows all there is to know about instructing his wife and raising his kids. But Bob isn't going to let Leo enjoy a quiet summer by the lake. By c

The worst is over!

Yeah dad! How much worse can it get?

Do you Bob Wiley take Lily Marvin, to be your lawful wedded

wife, to love honor and cherish 'til death do you part?

I do.

Do you Lily Marvin take Bob Wiley to be your lawful husband,

to love honor and cherish 'til death do you part?

I do!

If anyone here, knows any reason why these two

should not be joined together in the holy matrimony

Speak now, or forever hold your peace.

Then, by the power vested in me...

by the State of New York,

I pronounce you man and wife.

No!!!

Dad's Back! Daddy!

Leo!

I'm married, Leo!
