Gordon Cole
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
FBI Regional Bureau Chief Gordon Cole is a fictional character on Twin Peaks played by (show co-creator) David Lynch. Cole appeared in a number of episodes throughout the series; he also appeared in the motion picture prequel Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me.
Gordon Cole is Agent Cooper's boss in the FBI. He is very hard-of-hearing (wearing large hearing aids) and thus speaks very loud. He often misunderstands what is said to him and replies with comedically inappropriate responses.
While in Twin Peaks, Cooper and he go to the Double R Diner where he is smitten by waitress Shelly Johnson (Mädchen Amick) who, he's surprised to find, he can hear perfectly well.
At the beginning of Fire Walk With Me, Cole briefs agents Chester Desmond (Chris Isaak) and Sam Stanley (Kiefer Sutherland) on their assignment to investigate the murder of Teresa Banks. Cole uses a coded language, in the attire and gestures of Lil the Dancer (Kimberly Anne Cole), to inform the agents of what to expect in their investigation.
Cole describes the Teresa Banks murder case as one of his "blue rose" cases. The exact meaning of this is never given, but fans have speculated that a "blue rose" case is one involving the supernatural.
Cole's coded messages sometimes baffle even his closest colleagues. In one episode, he says, "Cooper, today you remind me of a small Mexican chihuahua." Cooper asks him what he means, but Cole changes the subject. The issue is never resolved.
