I believe it was William Feather who said - "One way to get the most out of life is to look upon it as an adventure." Those are excellent words to live by, Diane. And please let my writer know via memo that this was a good decision on her part. I'll gladly await any further instructions for working out in the field.

I don't believe I'm acquainted with this gentleman you speak of. Say - that rhyming thing you're doing is pretty neat. Is it something you do often?

So what you're saying is someone's... cursed you? Or put a spell on you or something?

[desirability]

You named your tape recorder?

see: icon keywords.

[coops]

Doesn't everyone?

hay bby hay bby hay

[desirability]

Well, I don't know. I don't have one. Can't say my record player has a name, though.

But with what you do, it's probably some kind of code, right? Or is it a secret?

[coops]

I'm only joking, Audrey. These tapes in here serve as a sort of daily journal for me. The only code it really stands for is my secretary back at the office. I'd be lost without her typing and filing systems.

...What name would one give a record player? Now you've got me curious. I'm sure they're machinery capable of some sort of personality. Just like this tape recorder here.

[saddleshoes]

William Feather. Sure is a funny name, huh?

[coops]

No funnier than Bacon, Audrey. You see - Mr. Feather wound up a pretty successful publisher. So he probably didn't mind the family name once he got older.

[saddleshoes]

Well, my name's not Feather and it's not Bacon either. Guess that makes me the lucky one.

—so does mean you're going on some kind of adventure?

[coops]

Well - one can only hope! I haven't heard any more from my writer on the subject as of yet - but things can always change.

[herotypical]

Sounds like someone's lacking the stones to speak to his writer directly.

[coops]

I beg your pardon, miss?

[herotypical]

Why not talk to your puppet-master directly? Why go through this Diane lady? Sounds mighty inconvenient, if you ask me.

[coops]

Why go through Diane? She's the best secretary a guy can ask for. She really knows her stuff. I feel like if I weren't to ask her to do this for me, it'd offend her. And the last thing I'd want is to be stuck without her office expertise.

[herotypical]

I suppose I'm all on board with a man having a healthy respect for his secretary. [ after a moment's hesitation. after all, her father... ]

As long as it's not too healthy, if you catch what I'm pitching.

[coops]

Diane deserves the utmost respect from everyone - man or woman. She's a unique individual - extremely vital to the Bureau.

[herotypical]

Ah. The Bureau. We're not talking about the Bureau of Home-Baking, are we?

[coops]

Oh - well. I do know one or two agents who enjoy baking. But the majority of us are terrible when it comes to cooking in general.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation! I forgot to introduce myself - how rude of me. [Extends his hand for a friendly shake! :D] I'm FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper. And you are?

[herotypical]

[ she puts a strong, confident hand in his. ]

Buffy. Buffy Summers. Agent of nothing and special for no reason.

[ nope. not special at all, her. ]

[coops]

Well, Miss Summers, it's wonderful to meet you. [shake shake!]

[herotypical]

Likewise. It's not every day you meet an FBI guy.

[coops]

I should hope you don't meet one of us every day - that'd be a tad bit suspicious, don't you think?

[likewatson]

[WELL LOOK WHO IT IS~]

Heya, Coop.

[coops]

Harry! Good to see you. :D

[likewatson]

And you — but I've gotta wonder what brought you here. Twin Peaks not meeting your strangeness quota anymore?




[ha ha ha ha ha sob]

[coops]

It was my writer, in all honesty, Harry. It seems to me she's got other plans.

But don't think for a second I'd abandon your wonderfully quirky town.

[likewatson]

Better watch out for those plans, whatever they are. Don't trust her for a second.

[coops]

Hey now - don't be so quick to judge. I doubt she'd steer me wrong. She hasn't so far.

[likewatson]

The key words there are "so far."

Doubt can be a dangerous thing, Agent.

[coops]

I admire your skepticism, Harry. But please trust me on this one.

[likewatson]

Realism. Not skepticism. And there are few things I wouldn't trust you on, Coop — this just happens to be one of 'em.

[Have a little shoulder-pat, anyway.]

[coops]

[Oh Harry. Always lookin' out for your bro. :'D]

Thanks, Harry. I appreciate your concern.

[likewatson]

[ALWAYS AND 4EVER]

Sure thing.

...now's probably a bad time to mention that I've yet to find a cherry pie around these parts that lives up to Norma's.

[coops]

Oh no - you don't say? This is incredibly distressing news.

[likewatson]

I know, Coop.

[OH, DOES HE KNOW.]

All the more reason to find your way back to town eventually, huh?

[coops]

Top priority right now, actually...

I could go for a slice of pie...
