   So, he’s Terry Beatty? Is Kato’s first name Gary, by any chance?

   So Tracy had already met Walker. Interesting.

   I love the reintroduction of old characters as the next man (providing the next man is a Dick Tracy fan, of course), but Nellie Wheaton is older than Sparkle Plenty. She was already a teenager (1943) before Sparkle was even born (1947), for cryin’out loud.
