Cooper has a late period red painting by Mark Rothko and the erotic illustration The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife hung in his office and is a devotee of Ayn Rand. He is an aficionado of Japanese art and culture: his office is decorated in a Japanese motif with shoji dividers among other things (including a photograph of President Coolidge), and he requires visitors to remove their shoes before entering his office.

Cooper starts going about his duties with more vigor and enjoyment than he has for the past two seasons (and more effectively than Roger and Don, the other major partners).
