[To the Guttmans, who saw him push Bob into the lake] WHAT ARE YOU STARING AT?! I HAD EVERY RIGHT TO BUY THIS HOUSE! Bob Wiley Hello, my name is Bob. Would you knock me out, please? [Telling the hospital staff therapy jokes] So the psychiatrist has a patient. He draws a circle and says, "What do you think of when you see this?" He says "Sex." [The staff laugh.] That's not the joke yet, wait a second. He draws a picture of a tree and says "What do you think of that one when you see it?" He says "Sex." All right, then he draws a picture of a car, a house: "Sex. Sex. Sex." The doctor says, "You know you're obsessed with sex." And the patient says "Well you're the one drawing all the dirty pictures." [The staff laugh.] [Telling another joke to the hospital staff] Roses are red, violets are blue; I'm a schizophrenic...and so am I. [staff laugh] Dialogue Bob: Have you ever hear of Tourette's syndrome? Involuntarily shouting profanity? Dr. Marvin: It's exceptionally rare. Bob: Shit-eating-son-of-a-bitch... bastard, douche-bag, twat, numb-nuts, dickhead, bitch! Dr. Marvin: Why exactly are you doing this? Bob: If I fake it then I don't have it. You know it's the same with the cardiac arrest. Dr. Marvin: Are you married? Bob: I'm divorced. Dr. Marvin: Would you like to talk about that? Bob: There are two types of people in this world: Those who like Neil Diamond, and those who don't. My ex-wife loves him. Bob: Baby step on the bus, baby step on the bus... Driver: Last bus to Lake Winapinasaukee, Bob! Bob: I know Minh, just give me a moment. Baby step to the stairs. Driver: Would you be able to board today? We have a "baby" schedule to keep. [Guttman's Coffee Shop. A customer attempts to use the phone] Bob: [to customer] Hey! NO, NO! NO! [Calmly] I'm expecting a phone call. [The customer hangs up] Thank You. Thanks a lot. [to everyone else] Thanks everybody, I really appreciate this. Also, uh if I... lose consciousness or black out or something explodes, would you tell Dr. Marvin when he calls that I was here... Mrs. Guttman: Dr. Leo Marvin? Bob: Do you know him? Mr. Guttman: Yeah. He bought our dream house. We worked a lifetime to save for a down payment. Mrs. Guttman: And he swooped down with his bag full of money, and grabbed it out from under us. Son of a bitch. Mr. Guttman: She never says that. Mrs. Guttman: Stay as far away from him as possible. Bob: Well, that'll be easy. He won't see me, that's why I'm waiting for the phone call. Mr. Guttman: He won't see you? Well, we'll show you where he lives. Bob: You will? Mrs. Guttman: The son of a bitch. Mr. Guttman: She never says that. Dr. Marvin: You've ruined my life! You've ruined my career! You've ruined my book! You've turned a peaceful house into an insane asylum! Get out! Anna: Daddy! Fay: What's gotten into you? Dr. Marvin: It was a disaster, Fay! Fay: No, it wasn't. You were wonderful, sweetie. Anna: You were fine, dad. Siggy: Yeah. Why'd you need to kick Bob out of the House? Dr. Marvin: You think he's gone? He's not gone! That's the whole point, He's never gone! [Opens the door, not even looking to see if Bob's still there. He is.] Bob: Is this some radical new therapy? Dr. Marvin: You see?! Siggy: [the Marvins have told Bob to leave, and they are saying farewells] Goodbye, green-puking pissant! Bob: Later, barf-breath douche-mouth! Siggy: I mean, my dad just dropped me in the water. He let me go with no warning. I mean, I nearly drowned. My whole life passed before my eyes. Bob: Well you're lucky you're only 12. Siggy: It was still grim. Dr. Marvin: I want some peace, and quiet. Bob: I'll be quiet. Siggy: I'll be peace. Taglines Bob's a special kind of friend. The kind that drives you crazy!
