First, what happened is: -Windham tells Cooper that C must give W his (C's) soul to save Annie. -C says "I will." W stabs C, some wierd reverse video, W unstabs C, and Bob appears. -B grabs W, tells him to shut utells C that W isn't allowed/isn't capable? (I think the wording was "He can't.." do that. -B says that he (B) will take W's soul. As punishment? In substitution? I don't know. I think that this part is NOT where Coop gets into serious trouble. Rather, it is when he starts to become more and more afraid, running away more and more quickly from each "person" he meets. It seems pretty clear to me that Bob "gets into" Cooper (or the anti-Cooper manages to be the one to come out of the lodge) when the anti-Cooper catches Cooper. Pshew. -Dan "grumpy young man" Becker
