Fine. Now I can't stop thinking of him as Ricky Ricardus.

Well, he specifically advised he didn't have time because they were hanging him in the morning. The corollary that you must live forever to have the time if a few hours is not enough does not compute and I can't accept such a leap of illogic as a motivation for Ricky Ricardus.

With so many more important questions un-answered by this show I am not going to fall into wondering what Richards "real" motivation for living forever is......the answer was given last night(weak though it may have been); that question will not be re-visited so one has to either accept it(and I do) or not accept it.
