at least your nightmare is only a dream. what about what happened to leo marvin?
you never heard of the famous dr. marvin?
that used to be his vacation house.
grab a strong drink and some dramamine. i'll tell you a story that will send you into rorschach.
well, i really can't tell you about leo marvin unless i first tell you about bob.
no! if you must.
all that changed.
that's what i'm trying to tell you lummoxes: bob.
he's under a lot of stress, fay. his book, his interview which frankly didn't go so well, his birthday. that's a lot to bite off all at once. i'll give him a sedative and he'll be fine.
that should give you some interesting ideas for your next book. you might even wake up feeling happy.
carswell fensterwald? sure. who could forget?
you're joking.
relax, leo. i just can't believe you'd block something like that out. carswell was at harvard with us. you turned him in for cheating.
don't you remember? you brought action against him for stealing your psychoanalysis notes and they booted him. the only place that would take him after that was university of guadalajara.
and they took him away.
leo was taken to the tomsky institute for a few days for observation. he lost his medical license, of course. a doctor can't try to kill one of his patients and expect to get away with it.
leo was returned to his family.
bob and the family rented a lakeside cottage where they could help leo recuperate.
leo marvin now makes toothbrushes.
the irony, of course, is that bob brought the family closer than they'd ever been before. harvey green saw leo last month and said he never looked happier.
bob married lily and had triplets. he went back to school, got a degree in marriage-family-counseling, and now has a big practice on park and 75th.
that's exactly what i'm telling you.
hey bob! hello, bob!!
exactly. sold 2 million copies.
