You know, I am bored with these scenes too, but I never FF through
them because (can you guess?) of YOU. I am afraid you people will get
into a discussion about something I might have FF'd thru so I don't
want to miss anything! :-)

You know, I feel kind of bad for them. They are up for a lot of
critical evaluation but you are right. I don't get the feeling Erica
and Dim are "really" in love. I mean REALLY in love. I think they try
to make this come across, but I don't think Lucci has the chemistry
with Nader that she had with Walt Willey. I get the feeling that
Lucci means what she says to David Canary (Adam) when they are opposite each
other and also Walt Willey (Jack). But she and Dim seem too contrived...

Well, they have discussed a little more then that, but not much. :-)
Also, "when are you going to tell Angelique?" and "if you don't,
we are through!"... :-) And "Isn't Budapest lovely and Romantic,
you Count you...:-) (this made me laugh tho, Alex!)..I still don't
know how Dim got to be a Count and why didn't Angelique know about
this and why on earth would a mansion that size not have a PHONE?
How does ONE get to be a Count, anyway? by wearing a black cape
or what? :-)

IOAS, IOAS, IOAS, IOAS :-)

I don't think Dixie is a slut, I think she is just a pain in the ass!
And Dim is a "stud" which is different from a slut. Yea, a man's a stud,
and a woman's a slut. Double standard but i think that is how people used
to think (before AIDS). I know a guy that thinks he is a stud, 
but he is - NOT. I think these ideas have already begun to change tho. 
People don't "sleep around" as much anymore (or anyone
that is smart doesn't) and men don't think that a friend of theirs who
does sleep around is a "stud" anymore. They think they are taking risks,
period. Right, guys? I really didn't want to get into this discussion
(so why did I?), but those are my feelings, truth be known.
Oh and BTW, I think Dimitri really *thought* he loved Natalie, he was
"confused" about Angelique (but she was *there* and she was his wife),
and of course you *know* Erica is the woman he has chosen for the rest
of his LIFE (ok Dim you are stuck with her now! :-)), so I guess he's
not a stud either :-) Now MEK is a stud! :-) 

>...I wonder if Dimitri owns the condom factory in Budapest....  :)

If he doesn't, he ought to think about buying it!
