ask.com. Welcome everyone. I'm in the
0:23
hills of Virginia. And why am I here?
0:26
Well, I'm on the filming locations of
0:28
What About Bob? A classic comedy
0:30
starring Bill Murray and Richard Drafus.
0:33
Join me, shall
0:47
you? Follow me this way. Lots of dead
0:47
animal carcass bones left out
0:49
here. I don't
0:52
know. Right here off the railroad
0:54
tracks. Oh yeah, look at all
0:58
that crazy. Straight over there is one
1:02
of the first scenes where Richard Drafus
1:05
and Bill Murray meet for the first
1:15
time. I'm walking the exact route that
1:15
the bus would have been coming in. It
1:17
would have dropped Bill Murray off
1:18
basically right where that black truck
1:20
is.
1:36
It's a little lackluster without the
1:36
music, isn't it? Let's bring the music
1:43
back. We got a dog across the street
1:43
here watching us from
1:45
afar. Wonder if he has any friendly
1:48
advice. He's not wagging his tail
1:49
anymore.
2:14
Yes, you can actually see the stairs
2:14
there. Those stairs can actually be seen
2:16
in the shot in the movie straight ahead.
2:18
Hi, we have enough to feed the entire
2:20
network. Straight ahead there at that
2:22
counter is where Richard Drafus would
2:24
have been talking about his interview.
2:26
It's probably going to be a short
2:28
interview anyway, you know, just me and
2:29
the family and my book. This exact spot
2:32
is where Bill Murray would have come off
2:34
the bus, gotten off the bus. The bus
2:35
would have drove off. Now there's a
2:37
truck in the way.
2:52
Dr. Leo
2:52
Marvin, Dr.
3:03
Thanks again.
3:05
Wait, is someone calling you?
3:08
Right over there. Do you know that man?
3:11
Get in the car. Come on. Hurry. Hurry.
3:14
Hurry. Bull. Murray is straight that way
3:16
and he comes running up yelling, "Dr.
3:19
Marvin, Dr. Marvin." Oh, I really
3:23
appreciate this. Right here was actually
3:25
a fire station in the movie. There's a
3:28
shot where you could see the fire trucks
3:29
basically where that dog was. They had
3:31
this dressed up as a fire station.
3:33
Everyone in the car. Come on.
3:36
Dr. Marvin,
3:48
Who's that guy?
3:48
Oh, the fam. I believe there was an ice
3:51
machine over here. And this is where
3:53
they had the little conversation about
3:55
how he needed to leave town. Well,
3:57
getting back will be therapeutic. But
3:59
can't we just have a little talk? Bob,
4:00
you are testing my patience. I'm doing
4:02
the work. I'm baby stepping. I'm not a
4:04
slacker. Listen to me. Check it out.
4:06
Look at I'm in really bad shape. Come
4:08
on. Please. Please. Give me. Give me.
4:10
Give me. I need I need Give me Give me
4:14
Give me I need I need I need I need Give
4:17
me All right. All right. Nice. There
4:20
goes the train right there. Baby steps
4:23
to more. What about Bob filming
4:25
location? I couldn't be happier about
4:27
baby steps. So, the next spot we're at
4:29
here, the next spot from Where am I?
4:32
What am I trying to
4:34
say? Now, we're at the location here
4:36
where Richard Drafus was bringing Bill
4:38
Murray to the mental institution. And
4:41
right in between these two trees, they
4:43
had built a little guard shack.
4:51
They would have drove straight in and
4:53
parked right here. The little guard
4:54
shack was right there. I'm standing in
4:56
the exact spot and then they would have
4:58
gone
5:00
forward. The vehicle would have drove
5:02
straight in right past all this in the
5:03
background. You can see in the shot
5:05
there's my van right there just
5:06
chilling. And you can see the front
5:08
entrance right there.
5:22
Check out the sund dial.
5:30
The poles are the same. The light there
5:30
is the same. Well, is this the friend
5:32
you called about? Bob Wley. I'd like you
5:34
to meet your new pal. New pal? What's
5:37
wrong with my old pal? And they drag
5:38
Bill Murray right through those doors.
5:40
Second doctor. Doctor, you're coming
5:42
with, aren't you? Fellas, I have
5:44
convulsion. My bladder is feeling funny.
5:47
Right into there. Cigarette Bob. Oh,
5:50
sorry. Didn't realize you were in a
5:52
straight jacket.
6:12
Yeah, that's definitely a shot there. A
6:12
female. It's a female. What do you think
6:14
I'm weird or something?
6:21
What do you think of that when you think
6:21
sex? All right. And he draws a picture
6:22
of a car, a house, sex, sex, sex. The
6:25
doctor says, "You know, you're obsessed
6:26
with sex." And the patient says, "Well,
6:28
you're the one drawing all the dirty
6:29
pictures.
6:41
Take a vacation. I'm on vacation.
6:41
The main house from What About Bob is
6:42
actually on private property and is
6:44
still lived in by someone
6:46
else. Kind of sketchy driving up the
6:49
driveway, but these deers made it a
6:50
little more comfortable. What about
6:53
mom? What about
6:55
mom? What about mom?
7:08
This is a great place. No wonder the
7:08
gutman's wanted Whoa.
7:15
I'm sorry about barging in here like
7:15
this. That's all right. I understand.
7:17
Knock here that Bill Murray hung from.
7:18
It's been redone quite a bit. And over
7:21
there is where he was sailing. The I'm
7:23
sailing scene happened right out in
7:25
there. Dr. Murray, I'm sailing.
7:30
And check this out. This is still here
7:32
after all these years. Right there.
7:36
I would like you all to accept my
7:38
apology. Well, what about Bob? What
7:40
about Bob? There's the bell that Bill
7:43
Murray rang.
8:02
Here's a shot where Bill Murray would
8:02
have come running down with the birthday
8:04
cake towards Leo Marvin. Leo Marvin's a
8:08
genius. Your death therapy cured me. You
8:12
genius.
