-Special Agent Dale Cooper
There's only one problem with you: You're perfect.
-Audrey Horne
Below her is Dale Cooper, sipping coffee at the Great Northern in the second episode, just before Audrey struts into the room.
This shows both of them before they really began to get to know each other. Audrey as a rebellious kid, and Cooper as a man whose greatest joy is his morning cup of coffee.

He was a by-the-book, buttoned down, slightly uptight FBI agent whose best friend appeared to be a tape recorder.
She was a mischevious, neglected, 18 year old high school student with few friends and a need for attention.
Odd couple? You could say that. But there was enough chemistry between these two to ignite an explosion, and they
were quite obviously more than a little attracted to each other.
From the minute they set eyes on each other, from across the dining room of her father's hotel, it was
apparent that there was a phsyical attraction on both parts. Eventually, this became something more. Cooper
recognized in her a girl who had never gotten attention from her father, and who wanted desparately to have a
friend. He talked to her when no one else would, and treated her with a respect she'd probably never
experienced, at least from a man. When they're together you feel a real connection.
He rescued her from near death at the hands of Jean Renault, a French Canadian drug dealer. Audrey had been
kidnapped by the madam of One-Eyed Jack's, and was being held as bait. Cooper outsmarted the kidnappers
and brought Audrey back. In return, Audrey later gave him the means to clear his name after bogus drug
charges were levelled against him by that same French Canadian.
Eventually, Cooper told her he could not get involved with her because she was involved in a case he was working
on, and the last woman he'd gotten involved with like that had been killed. She accepted this with grace, and
warned him that when she got older, he'd better watch out.
After this, they were hardly even allowed to see each other anymore. My main complaint here is that, not only
that they weren't allowed to have a romance, but that they weren't even allowed to see each other
anymore.
Anyway... This is my little rant page. Just had to get this out for all the world to see.
Anyone who's made it this far, congratulations.
For those of you who like to torture yourselves, I've written a much-expanded rant. Click over

Be prepared... Ha ha.
Heh. Enjoy.
Y'know what cuts my cheese? Ol' Heather Graham is the next big thing, and poor Sherilyn Fenn is
reduced to guest appearances on friends and a crappy Showtime show. Hey, lemme tell ya, here's a new link so they won't shut
my page down.
ESPN is a good place to start when you're looking for sports info. Sports is a lot more fun than watching
someone screw around with your favorite characters on a TV show.
P.S. All characters involved in Twin Peaks are not my property. Don't sue me. Thanks to Mike Dunn's Black Lodge Website, which provided the pictures for this page. Unfortunately, it looks like Mike's page either isn't up anymore or isn't where it used to be, because none of my picture links work. Just note that. I'm keeping the links in because it would be a pain to take them out, but none of them will work. Many apologies! Thanks to Mark Frost and David Lynch for
creating Twin Peaks. It gives me something to obsess over on long summer days...
For summer fun that's still there, go to the Gameworks website. It's a ton of fun. Hooray.
