Subject: Dialog from TP second season pilot From: hekunze@watmsg.uwaterloo.ca (Herb Kunze) Date: 1990-10-01, 15:39 Newsgroups: alt.tv.twin-peaks Well, here we go. I've taken the time to transcribe several of the key moments from the second season premiere. ----- In the R&R diner, after some small talk, Major Briggs and Bobby Briggs have the following exchange: MB: "Bobby, may I share something with you?" BB: "Okay." MB: "A vision I had in my sleep last night, as opposed to a dream, which is mere sorting and cataloguing of the day's events by the subconscious. This was a vision, fresh and clear as a mountain stream, the mind revealing itself to itself. In my vision, I was on the veranda of a vast estate, a palazzo of some fantastic proportion. There seemed to emanate from it a light from within, this gleaming, radiant marvel(marble?). I'd known this place. I had in fact been born and raised there. This was my first return. A reunion with the deepest well-springs of my being. Wandering about, I noticed happily that the house had been immaculately maintained. There'd been added a number of rooms, but in a way that blended so seamlessly with the original construction, one would never detect any difference. Returning to the house's grand foyer, there came a knock at the door. My son was standing there. He was happy and carefree, clearly living a life of deep harmony and joy. We embraced, a warm and long embrace, nothing withheld. We were, in this moment, one. My vision ended and I awoke with this tremendous feeling of optimism and confidence in you and your future. That was my vision of you. I'm so glad to have had this opportunity to share it with you. I wish you nothing but the best in all things." At the Hayward Supper Club first get-together, Harriet reads the following poem: "It was Laura And I saw her glowing. In the dark woods, I saw her smiling. We were crying And I saw here lauging. In our sadness, I saw her dancing. It was Laura Living in my dreams. It was Laura. The glow was life. Her smile was to say It was alright to cry. The woods were our sadness. The dance was her calling. It was Laura And she came to kiss me goodbye." (The "The dance was her calling" line makes me think of Leland dancing alone, grieving, perhaps being called by Laura. Cool image.) Also from the pilot, the giant speaks with Cooper: G: "I will tell you three things. If I tell them to you and they come true, then you will believe me?" C: "Who's that?" G: "Think of me as a friend." C: "Where do you come from?" G: {Shaking head} "The question is: where have you gone?" "The 1st thing I will tell you is: There's a man in a smiling bag. The 2nd thing is The owl's are not what they seem. The 3rd thing is Without chemicals, he points." C: "What do these things mean?" G: "This is all I'm permitted to say. Give me your ring. I will return it to you when you find these things to be true." {Takes Coop's ring} "We want to help." C: "Who's we?" G: "One last thing. Leo locked inside Hungry Horse. There's a clue at Leo's house. You will require medical assistance." { Disappears. But at end of episode, Coop opens his eyes and sees the giant. } G: "Sorry to wake you." C: "I'm not dreaming." G: "I forgot to tell you something." C: "You were right about the smiling bag." G: "The things I tell you will not be wrong. Better to listen then to talk." C: "I believe you." G: "Don't search for all the answers at once. A path is formed by laying one stone at a time. One person saw the third man. Three have seen him, yes. But not his body. One only. Known to you. Ready now to talk. One more thing: you forgot something." C: "What?" { Flash of green and Audrey's note gets zapped into Coop's mind presumably; Coop lies alone in the dark, blinking. } ----- The mention of owls not being what they seem makes me think of the Log Lady's meeting with Coop, Hawk, Doc, & HST: { As Coop, Hawk, Doc & HST approach the cabin, a crow lans on a nearby branch and eyes them. Since it seems that birds in the woods may be important, this could be of value. In any case, as the Log Lady appears, the crow caws and the dialog begins. } LL: "It's about time you got here." {To no one in particular} "They move so slowly when they're not afraid. Come on, then, my log does not judge." { They follow her inside. } LL: "I've got tea. I've got cookies. No cake." Coop: "That's very kind ma'am, but I don't believe..." Hawk: "What kind of cookies?" LL: "Sugar. The owls won't see us in here." Doc: "A cup of tea would be very nice." LL: {To HST & Coop} "Shut your eyes and you'll burst into flames." HST: {Strolling to the table} "Thanks Margaret." LL: "We'll let it steep." { All sitting at the table. Coop goes for a cookie, and Margaret slaps his hand. } LL: "Wait for the tea. The fish aren't running." HST: "You've been expecting us, Margaret?" LL: "You're two days late, but that's you're concern. My log saw something, something significant." HST: "What did your log see?" LL: "Tea first. Then be ready." "My husband was a logging man. He met the devil. Firs is the devil hiding like a coward in the smoke." Doc: "It was the day after the sedding, wasn't it Margaret?" Hawk: "The wood holds many spirits, doesn't it Margaret?" LL: {Gesturing with log to Coop} "You can ask it now." Coop: "What did you see the night Laura Palmer was killed." LL: "I'll do the talking." "Dark. Laughing. The owls were flying. Many things were blocked. Laughing. Two men. Two women. Flashlights pass by the woods over the ridge. The owls were near. The dark was pressing in on her. Quiet then. Later, footsteps. One man passed by. Screams. Far away. Terrible. Terrible. One voice." Coop: "Man or girl?" LL: "Girl. Further up over the ridge, the owls were silent." { As they leave on the way to discovering Jacques' cabin, the crow leaves the branch it has been on all this time and follows, landing on a branch when they stop once again. We get a close-up of its blinking eye. } ----- With that said, I'll leave it to others for now to analyze all this info. There sure seems to be a lot of references to spirits in the wood. Will this all have some sort of supernatural conclusion? One final note about something that is really confusing me. It has to do with the various blood types being thrown around in the show. I've gone back and checked my tape of the scene in Jacques' apartment where Coop finds the Fleshworld magazine and the blood stained shirt planted by Bobby. Doc Hayward definitely says that the blood type on the shirt is AB-negative, and after following up Coop's intuition confirms that Jacques has that type. Yet, when Coop recaps the events of the evening of Laura's death, he says that the "Fire...Walk With Me" scribbling and the blood stained rag that Hawk found are both type AB-negative, a rare type different from Leo, Jacques, Laura and Ronnette. What gives? Herb...
