The story so far
Everything you need before watchingOn a film set between takes, Lenny pulls Bob aside with a warning: a tabloid photographer has caught him in a topless bar, and Disney may walk away. Bob insists he is a respectable family man, while Lenny points out that his public behavior can damage both his reputation and his career. The scene matters because Bob’s comic confidence keeps colliding with a very real scandal.
