Subject: Kitty got a new collar From: aalanm@phoenix.Princeton.EDU (A Alan Middleton) Date: 1990-04-21, 16:24 Newsgroups: alt.tv.twin-peaks When the bartender in the bordello picks up the phone, right after the Horne-y brothers arrive outside, doesn't the voice on the other end call her "Cat"? Reaching now, maybe she got a "new" collar because she was promoted to being bartender from the rank and file -- most/all the other girls had some sort of collar-like neck wear, to match their costumes. So maybe we're looking for a recently-deceased bartender, rather than a r-d working girl. Theory: Laura got bumped off because she was on the verge of perfecting a one-hundred percent silent drape runner. The $10,000 was for building the prototype. Also note the prevalence of the drape/curtain imagery in the bordello (where Laura perfected her art?) and in the dream sequence. Sara and Alan
