I have to admit that I for one think the entire Dick/Andy/Lucy/Nicky
plot is absolutely hysterical.  The ladder scene ("morals and manly
manners will win her back" - Andy), the scene in the double-R where
Nicky plays Dick and Andy against each other, and way back when
we originally met Dick (remember his discussion of his mnemonic
filing system?) all go down in my all-time favorites list.  I
think Dick is the most original and obnoxious character in TP
since Albert the coroner.  I especially enjoy the way Dick
and Andy have changed from bitter enemies into co-conspirators,
leaving Lucy in the cold wondering what they're up to.

By the way, I don't agree with the idea that Nicky is an evil
character - the tone of these scenes just isn't right.  Listen to
the music during these scenes - it's obvious that this whole plot
line is being played for laughs.  This theory reminds me too much
of the Andy-killed-Laura idea we heard last season... :^)
