>3.  Who beat Jacoby up in the park?
 BOB, via Leland.  Check the hand motion (fists together, swung
 over the head).  It's identical to the method BOB uses to
 pummel Laura in the train car scene.

>4.  Leland had Bob inside him for 25 years.  Will Cooper also?
 Leland had BOB since he was "just a little boy."  Unless Leland
 was only 35 or so when he died, he likely hosted BOB for closer
 to 30 or 35 years (assuming the a "little boy" is under 10).
 I would have estimated Leland's age at death to be 40 or 45,
 which means BOB called him home for at least 30 or 35 yrs.

 When did Josie ever have a car wreck?  I had the impression that
 the owl was flying over some sort of junkyard.  Also, remember
 that the POV was of something scurrying along the ground or flying
 very low, only to run smack into the owl.

>8.  Did they mayors brother really die of a sexual O.D. ????
 This doesn't *really* keep you awake at night, does it?

>9.  What the hell does 'Little Nick' have to do with anything????
 A side plot--probably a throwaway, a red herring.

 Ms. Jones rubs a hallucinogen on Harry's lips, causing him to see her
 as Josie, let down his guard, and make it easier for her to kill him.

 Afrikaans, the language of Afrikaaners (from South Africa).
 It's a mutation of Dutch (and other languages?).

 Side plot.

 I seem to remember someone saying that a script draft had him turning
 around and seeing Josie.

 I believe the waitress's name is Heidi.

He just knows what he likes.
