[but... ???]. No, she's very definite about it. Lydecker Clinic receptionist examines sketch of Killer Bob. RECEPTIONIST:"No, that's not Dr. Lydecker." (Hands sketch back to Cooper.) COOPER:"Does this clinic treat birds?" RECEPTIONIST:"Yes, of course." > >It's little things like that, you know. So what you're saying is, there are two veterinarians named Bob Lydecker in Twin Peaks? And the other one, the one who isn't in a coma, is Killer Bob Lydecker? Yow, now all we need is the beautiful amnesiac heiress who witnessed the whole thing but can't remember it and we'll be all set. I doubt it. There were four people (that we saw) in Cooper's dream Two of them, Cooper had seen before: Mike the One-Armed Man and Laura Palmer. The other two he hadn't: the dancing dwarf and Killer Bob. My guess is that the dwarf symbolizes Laura's inner persona, while the beautiful cousin is the exterior persona. By symmetry, Killer Bob represents Mike Gerard's inner persona, but that seems a little too easy. -- Dave Mack
