Cooper's Past: glitch? cioffi@menudo.uh.edu (Delia Cioffi) 1990-11-07 10:17
Can someone with tapes or a good memory please verify:
did Cooper say he was "shot" in Phily, or just "injured"?
If the former, why then did he seem to suggest--while lying on the
floor and dictating to Diane--that he had never been shot before
("so, I finally experience it...this sensation was not what I would
have expected", etc).
Also, a previous poster mentioned that Leland's hair might have
changed just as BOB left him.....interesting idea a la
Dorian Grey. But in what sense whould Leland be loosing his deal
with BOB by killing JR?

I watch TP in surround sound and have never had any audio problems. However, it is quite possible that you could experience problems with the voices but not the music.

White Horse dpawson@oracle.com 1990-11-07 12:08
For all the people out there pondering the white horse in the previews. . .
When I first saw it, I guessed that it might be related to the Audrey story
line. Audrey is still pretty screwed up on heroin, sometimes known as horse
or even the white horse. Not that this allows us to make any profound
conclusions if I'm right, but I haven't posted anything useless and/or wrong
in a while :-) Could be Audrey is feeling a bit under the weather these days.

BOB in pickle jar in GN basement mdm@wdl50.wdl.fac.com (Mike D Marchionna) 1990-11-07 13:50
All right, my guess as to who the killer is has been Johnny Horne since
the first season pilot. Why you ask? Because I had no evidence, and when in
doubt choose the most unlikely character. I'm not saying I'm right, but I am
at least glad to know that my guess still has a slim chance of at least being
close. I say this because it now seems likely that the killer either lives or
works in the Great Northern hotel.
Let's look at the newest evidence from the 11/3 episode. MIKE pretty much
nails down BOB's base of operations as the Great Northern Hotel. He also
states that BOB has resided there for nearly forty years. You could interpret
this to mean two things:
1) BOB's spirit resides in the Great Northern autonomously. Say his essence
is kept in an old moldy pickle jar in the basement of the Great Northern
hotel. BOB periodically leaves the pickle jar to inhabit a suitable
host. The pickle jar has been carelessly left in the basement behind
some old boxes for nearly forty years.
2) The permanent host to BOB has resided at the Great Northern for nearly
forty years, and therefore, so has BOB. BOB periodically takes over
this vessel to do his nasty work.
If theory 1 is true then BOB can inhabit any susceptible human host he chooses.
This means that BOB would be free to torment anyone living or working in the
Great Northern. What human host is most susceptible to a demonic possession?
It could very well be the simple minded and innocent Johnny Horne. I know if
I were a demon spirit, choosing Johnny as my host makes a lot of sense. He
would be easy to manipulate, and he would not be suspected. However, if BOB
feeds off "fear" and "the pleasures" a question remains. If BOB is parasitic
then one would think that BOB must be in the host that is being frightened or
pleasured in order to feed. But, one could stretch the parasite scheme to say
that BOB uses his host to frighten and pleasure a victim, and feeds off the
victims responses. BOB would have had to use Johnny to frighten and pleasure
his victim for my weak theory to be true. I know it sucks, but you can't say
that its not a possible answer.
If theory 2 is true then the permanent host must have resided in the Great
Northern for approximately forty years. This implicates Ben, Jerry, Sylvia,
and Leland. I have to discount Leland since MIKE gave the impression that
the Great Northern is where BOB resides. This leaves Ben, Jerry, and Sylvia
since Johnny and Audrey are to young. Sylvia is to minor a character to be
involved, so that leaves Ben and Jerry. Of the two I would pick Jerry since
he is a more disposable character. However, Ben makes the most logical choice
since he is so sleezy, and he was more closely involved with Laura.
My goofy Johnny did it theory still has three days of life left in it. I am
hoping that the only thing revealed on 11/10 is that BOB is definately the
cause of LP's death. This would still leave open the question of what
human host actually performed the murder. Of course there is still many other
possible solutions. Perhaps LP's killer was a regular human trying to destroy
BOB while he was inside Laura by killing Laura. Perhaps the only way to
kill BOB is to kill the host he resides in before he can extricate himself
from the host's body. 80 hours till the next episode leaves me more confused.
He is BOB

He wears a smile

Can someone please explain to me why poster upon poster has been claiming that Cooper was shot in Philadelphia? Other than the fact that they are in the same state and both begin with the letter 'P', the two cities have nothing in common (For example, one has culture and the other a budget). And please, please, PLEASE, don't call it "Philly"! Using that word doesn't make you sound like a Philadelphian. It doesn't make you sound cool. It makes you sound like a dork. Philadelphians have aneurisms when they hear people call their city "Philly". The correct pronunciation is Fluffya. The residents are called Fluffyans. Anyway, what makes you think Cooper would be shot in Philadelphia? David Lynch has gone on record saying that the city has forever captured his heart. "Philadelphia is where I'd rather be," he said. Or words to that effect. Eugene (ARRRGGGHHH! Four more years of Casey!)

Unless they were lying (or meant BOB), then Harold can't be "it". If BOB in Harold killed her, it would mean we had seen the "killer" in season 1, but it sure would be annoying since Harold was introduced so late. An even more annoying solution that I haven't seen mentioned would be Jean Renault, he's introduced even later. Let's see if I can scare up a theory. These are just random things that imply Jacques may have some connection to BOB or the crime scene. 1) He's proven capable of murder; Emory, Blackie, and an attempt on Coop and Audrey. He sure is racking them up. Maybe he'll get Hank too. 2) Likely drug connection with Leo and Jacques. Family and OEJ connection to Jacques. 3) Closely associated with Blackie, who has a clear motive for Laura's murder. (the diary details a severe conflict between the two, and Laura might talk). (by the way, Ben has an even stronger motive for murdering Laura). Blackie has shown that she calls in Jacques to help her with her dirty work, she might have called Jacques to get Laura too. 3) He's at OEJ, which might fit the description Mike Gerard gives of where BOB is. Also, Cooper stares at an owl right outside OEJ. 4) One of the pages torn out, on page 177 is where Nancy is talking to her. Nancy is the character closest to Jacques, the page may have dealt with him. Whether it does or not, Jacques quite possibly had direct dealings with Laura at OEJ before she died. 5) Jacques says that Audrey is dreaming of fishes, dark lakebeds and tangled weeds. This sounds like something BOB or someone familiar with BOB would say. Pearl Lakes are strongly connected with BOB somehow. Probably means nothing though. Whether or not Jean killed Laura, some of these points make me think Jean could have had direct dealings with Laura. I'd say Jean makes almost as good a suspect as Harold, both of whom are much less likely than Ben and especially Leland. At least the latter two were seen in the first season.

Windham Earll maybe? Cooper looked like he recognized > > the reference, but I sure didn't. Ithink Mexican Chihuahua is a reference to a well-known urban legend. The story usually is that a married couple goes down to Mexico on vacation, and they find what appears to be a small stray dog. They decide to make this dog their pet, so they take it back to their home in the US. They take it to a vet for shots, but they are informed that this "Chihuahua" is actually a very large rat.

Bigger 'n' deffer... as always, if I missed any or got any wrong, clue me
in and I'll remedy the situation pronto.
Can you find the two quotes in here that are _not_ from an actual broadcast
episode of the show?
Have fun!
-------------------------------------
Cooper: I'm sure the Sheriff will be able to recommend a clean place,
reasonably priced--that's what I need, a clean place, reasonably priced.
Leo: Leo needs a new pair of shoes!
Ben: Leland's daughter was murdered and the Norwegians left.
Jerry: I'm depressed.
Waiter: Your milk is gonna get cool...
Cooper: (lying on his back, bleeding) OhKaayy
Cooper: Look! Ducks! On a lake! Ahhh.
Sarah Palmer: I miss her so much. I miss her so much! I miss her so much!!!
Chief Norwegian (to Audrey): Is something wrong, young, pretty girl?
Cooper: Albert's path is a strange and difficult one.
Albert: Agent Cooper, I am thrilled to pieces that the Dharma came to King
Hohoho, I really am.
Jerry: We had those vikings by the HORNS!
Cooper: Two eggs over hard. I know, I know, it's hard on the arteries, but
old habits die hard--just about as hard as I want those eggs.
Truman: You saw a giant?
Cooper: Yes.
Albert: Any relation to the dwarf?
Pete: This smoke inhalation is a nasty business. I feel like someone taped my
lips to the tailpipe of a bus!
Jerry: Marshmallows?!! Ben, WHERE ARE THOSE HICKORY STICKS?
Pete: Now let me get this straight... your _entire_ _country_ is _above_ the
_timberline_?
Jonathan: Blood brother, next time, I take your head off.
Donna: Romantic, isn't it?
Harold: Interesting...it serves as a landing platform for pollinating insects.
Donna: Romantic, isn't it?
Truman: You know, I should take up medicine.
Cooper: Oh? Why's that?
Truman: Because I'm beginning to feel a bit like... Dr. Watson.
Judge Sternwood: So, Agent Cooper, how are you finding our little corner of
the world?
Cooper: It's heaven, sir.
Judge S.: Well, this week heaven includes arson, multiple homicide, and an
attempt on the life of a Federal agent.
Cooper: Heaven is a large and interesting place, sir!
Catherine: I can't understand a word you're saying... you have a thing in your
mouth!
Log Lady: My husband was a logging man... he met the devil. Fire is the
devil, hiding like a coward in the smoke.
Cooper: Diane, last night I dreamed I was eating a large, tasteless gumdrop,
and awoke to discover I was chewing on one of my foam disposable earplugs.
Perhaps I should consider moderating my nighttime coffee consumption.
Catherine: Everything here smells like fish.
Pete: Well, you could try washing your socks separately.
Lucy: All men in the world should be taken to a desert island and forced to
eat sand!
Ben: So, here in Twin Peaks, health and industry go hand-in-hand.
Translator: Healt ut industree di go hond-e-hond.
Mike: He is Bob! Eager for fun! He wears a smile. EVERYBODY RUN.
Cooper: Did you know Laura Palmer?
Leo: No.
Cooper: How well did you know her?
Leo: I said I didn't!
Cooper: <smiles> You're lying.
Jacques: So Leo put the chip in her mouth, and say, "Bite the bullet, baby,
biiite the bullet!!"
Catherine: Are you an ambitious man, Mr. Neff?
Mr. Neff: One likes to think so.
Catherine: One never knows. There may still be a few T's left to cross.
Hawk: I had to drink 3 pots of chamomile tea to find that out!
Cooper: Good work, Andy.
Albert: Yeah. Woof.
Doc Hayward: Well, as your doctor, Leland, what the hell happened to your hair?
Jerry: Is this real, Ben? Or some strange and twisted dream?
Cooper: So, how long have you and Hank been friends?
Log Lady: You wear shiny objects on your chest. Are you proud?
Major Briggs: No, achievement is its own reward. Pride obscures it.
Harold: Are you looking for SECRETS? Is that what this is all about? Well,
maybe I can help you. Do you know what the ultimate secret is? ... Do you
WANT to know? Laura did.
The secret of knowing who killed you--
Nadine: Ed! You waiting for those drapes to hang themselves?
Cooper: I think I saw a rabbit!
Truman: Snowshoe rabbit.
Cooper: Snowshoe! Snowshoe rabbit!
Albert: I like to consider myself one of the happy generations.
Andy: They shot Waldo!
Log Lady(?): Sometimes owls are big.
Cooper: So... are you still seeing this... Dick?
Hawk: One woman can make you fly like an eagle. Another can give you the
strength of a lion. But only one in a cycle of lives can fill you with glad-
ness and the wisdom that you have known a singular joy.
Cooper: Wanna know why I'm whittling?
Truman: OK, I'll bite. Why are you whittling?
Cooper: Because that's what you do in a town where a yellow light still means
slow down, not speed up.
Cooper: Harry, I really have to urinate!
Ben: If you will permit me, Sven, to repeat what you told me this morning
after your run--"My air sacs have never felt so good!"
Log Lady: I do not introduce the log!
Jerry: Look at what she gave me: a whole leg of lamb! You sprinkle some
garlic on that, some fresh mint, that's rotisserie heaven!
Cooper: Sheriff, what kind of fantastic trees have you got around here? Big,
majestic--
Truman: Douglas firs.
Cooper: Douglas firs....
Jerry: Here we have two ledgers and a smoked cheese pig... so which one are we
gonna burn?
Cooper: Diane, I'm holding in my hand a small box of chocolate bunnies.
Leland: Dance with me! Please, someone, dance with me!!
Sarah Palmer: Don't ruin this too!
Lucy: Sheriff, it's Pete Martell up at the mill. I'm gonna transfer you to
the phone on the table in the hall. The little table, with the lamp on it--the
lamp that we moved from the corner? The BLACK phone, not the brown phone.
Cooper: They got a cherry pie there that'll kill ya!
Gordon: COOP, YOU REMIND ME TODAY OF A SMALL, MEXICAN CHIHUAHUA.
Albert: You listen to _me_! While I will admit to a certain cynicism, the
fact is I am a nay-sayer and a hatchet man in the fight against violence! I
pride myself in taking a punch and I'll gladly take another because I choose
to live my life in the company of Gandhi and King! My concerns are _global_.
I reject absolutely revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The foundation of
such a method... is love. I love you, Sheriff Truman.
Cooper: You and Laura had a fight last week, is that correct?
Bobby: So WHAT! If I had a fight with her, if I sang songs with her, if I
went skipping ROPE with her--WHAT difference does it make?!? I
DIDN'T KILL HER!
Cooper (grins widely): Bobby, here's how this works. I ask the questions and
you answer them! Briefly! And to the point!
Doc Hayward: Nurse, I really mean it. You better speak to that kitchen.
Andy: I'm a WHOLE DAMN TOWN!!!
Cooper: Man! Smell those trees. Smell those Douglas firs.
Sarah Palmer: Laura, honey, are you upstairs?
Nadine: Love me?
Ed: You bet.
Secretary at the Great Northern: The Norwegians are leaving! The _Norwegians_
are _leaving_!
Pete: There was a fish... in... the percolator!
Truman: Think they spotted us?
Cooper: Gimme a donut.
Albert (in reference to Sheriff Truman): Look, it's trying to think.
Secretary at the Great Northern: Audrey, look what you've done! Audrey....
Audrey, don't go in there--Audrey!
Cooper: Diane, I've just entered the town of Twin Peaks. Twelve miles south
of the Canadian border, eight miles west of the state line. I've never seen
so many trees in my life! As W. C. Fields would say, I'd rather be here than
Philadelphia.
Jacoby: Bobby--did you CRY?!?
Hawk: Good thing you guys can't keep a secret!
Gordon: I BELIEVE IN SECRECY, COOP!
Jerry: It's a baguette... with brie, and butter... I had six of these damn
things every day I was over there!
Chief Icelander: Ben, I am so happy, I can't even tell you how much.
Lucy: Agent Cooper, I've got a call for you from a Mr. Albert Rosenfeld,
sounds like long distance. It has that open air sound, you know, where it
sounds like wind blowing... like wind blowing through trees....
Albert: I've got compassion running out of my nose, pal--I'm the sultan of
sentiment!
Ed: Nadine, don't you give up. We'll just have to keep looking until we find
a patent attorney who understands drape runners.
Cooper: Sheriff, we got a lot to talk about.
Jerry: I'm in love... her name is Heppa... she's a giant snow queen with a
smile like a sunrise on an ice floe--you could go blind just _looking_ at this
girl!
Cooper: There's a large group of insane men staying on my floor.
Mrs. Tremond: I requested no creamed corn. Do you see creamed corn on this
plate?
Ben: Now let's get in there and get those cheese-eaters where they live.
Albert: Mr. Horne, I recognize that your position in this fair community
pretty much necessitates venality, insincerity, and a certain irritating
manner of expressing yourself. Superiority, however, is not a necessarily
inherent trait. Therefore, please listen closely--You can have a funeral any
old time. You dig a hole, you plant a coffin. I, however, cannot perform
these tests next year, next month, next week or even tomorrow--I must perform
them now. <drill noise--VEEP VEEP!> I've got a lot of cutting and pasting to
do, gentlemen, so please return to your porch rockers and resume whittling!
(Puts drill to Laura's forehead and starts drilling....)
Gordon: WE'VE GOT A DIFFERENT PROBLEM HERE, COOP. TWO PLUS TWO DOES NOT
ALWAYS EQUAL FOUR!
Log Lady: Shut your eyes and you'll burst into flames.
Truman: Thanks, Margaret.
Cooper: Twenty-four hour room service must be one of the premier achievements
of modern civilization.
James: Would you like to play with fire, little boy? Would you like to play
with Bob? Would you like to play with _Bob_?
Pie-Eating Man: Hot DAMN, that's good pie!
Albert: Sounds like you've been snacking on some of the local mushrooms.
Pierre Tremond: J'ai une ame solitaire. --> I have a solitary soul.
The Giant: The things I tell you will not be wrong.
Cooper: Harry, I'm gonna let you in on a little secret. Every day, once a
day, give yourself a present. Don't plan it, don't wait for it, just... let
it happen. Could be a new shirt at the men's store, a catnap in your office
chair, or two cups of good, hot, black coffee.
Little Man from Another Place: Let's rock!
Leland: Sing hallelujah, c'mon, get happy--c'mon & chase all your blues away!
Albert: Has anyone seen Bob on earth in the past few weeks?
Leland: He would say, "Would you like to play with fire, little boy?"
<flicks burning match at Cooper, Cooper picks it up and looks at it>
Cooper: That's our man. <Poof!>
Mike: In the darkness of future past, the magician longs to see. One chance
outs between two worlds... fire, walk with me.
The Giant: The owls are not what they seem.
Cooper: This must be where pies go when they die.
Truman: You must have the metabolism of a bumblebee!
Bob: Catch you, with my death bag!
Truman: Anything we should be working on?
Albert: Yeah, try not dragging your knuckles on the ground when you walk!
Jerry: Next stop: Rocket Science!!!!
Albert: I know, Andy, I know. It's what we call a three-hanky crime.
Pete: She's dead... wrapped in plastic!
Cooper: DAMN good coffee, and HOT!
Albert: Oh yeah? Well, I've had about enough of morons and halfwits, dolts,
dunces, dullards and dumbbells--and you <ignorant?> yokel, you blithering
hayseed, you--you've had enough of me?
Cooper: Short stack of griddle cakes, maple syrup slightly heated, melted
butter, slice of ham... nothing beats the taste sensation when maple syrup
<CLAP> collides with ham.
Log Lady: Come then! My log does not judge!
Cooper: Where does Bob come from?
Mike: That cannot be revealed.
Cooper: And as we all know from experiments conducted during the Korean War,
Diane, sleep deprivation is a one-way ticket to temporary psychosis.
Leland: Mares eat oats, and does eat oats, and little lambs eat ivy... a
kid'll eat ivy too, wouldn't you?
Cooper: So Harry, how long you been seeing her?
Truman: (awestruck) How did you know?
Cooper: Body language.
Truman: Geez louise!
Cooper: Harry, my dream is a code waiting to be broken. Break the code, solve
the crime.
Lucy: (taking notes) Break the... code, solve the... crime.
Bobby: Bills? Forget about bills. I'm talking about a new way of life.
Bob: You may think I've gone insane... but I promise, I will kill again!

My guess is that this is what happened the night > >she was killed--and it drew BOB to her in some way. (At the end of the > >diary she says BOB is "getting closer.") I think Laura definately was acting out this fleshworld fantasy the night she was murdered. This fills in the Theresa Banks connection, sort of. I posted something like this earlier, but what the heck. No one commented on it earlier, maybe this time it'll get some comments. I can't figure out what to make of this stuff, help me out! (from page 120 of the diary) "When I opened [a gift from Jacques], I realized that the wrapper was a folded, torn-out page from Fleshworld, showing a guy built kind of like Jacques, kneeling in front of a really pretty blond girl. I think she was the prettiest girl I'd ever seen in that magazine. In the photo, this girl was almost naked with a parrot on her shoulder, and the man was kissing her feet like he adored her. At the bottom of the page, Jacques had written, "Thinking of you, fantasy girl". (paraphrased from page 116) "... Leo and Jacques said that if I get my fantasy published, they will create the printed fantasy just the way I write it. Just the way I want it. I think I will. I like the idea of a special night, planned ahead of time, all for Laura Palmer." In the show they find a camera at the Cabin. The picture taken resembles the description given of the fleshworld fantasy picture, a blonde with a bird on her shoulder. It's a mynah instead of a parrot this time. 1) Wild guess: the torn out picture is of Theresa Banks. I wonder when the police will find Theresa's picture in Fleshworld? 2) Could the guy "built kind of like Jacques" in the fleshworld picture actually be Jacques? 3) I wonder if they'll find Laura's published fantasy in one of the Fleshworld issues. I don't really know how to tie this in together into a coherant theory, maybe someone else can. I think Fleshworld and maybe Jacques are the connection with Theresa Banks. The killer too. :) Michael Kaye "If you get the feeling I don't love you, feel again"[src]

} Peaks so far? Could someone post a list of episodes which shows what
} major events occurred on what days?
I suppose I might as well re-post my Timeline, it having been a few months
since I last did so. It, however, only covers the First Season. I haven't
had time to take the notes on the Second Season episodes.
****************************************************************************
Introduction for TP "first-timers"
Back during the first run of TP in the spring, there were many arguments
here concerning the chronology of events -- what happened when in relation
to what else? And so, I was inspired to create this timeline, which puts
all events shown or referred to in their proper chronological sequence.
I posted a few versions of this Timeline, adding to it as each episode
revealed new information. I stopped a couple of episodes short of the
entire first run, mainly due to shortage of time, but also because the
ending of the season made a final update seem less compelling. I decided
to refrain from posting it during the summer reruns so as not to spoil
things for the First-Timers. Here is the final update through the end of
the First Season. I've also noted items from the audio tape "DIANE..." THE
TWIN PEAKS TAPE OF AGENT COOPER, which include reports, with timestamps,
not mentioned on the show itself. Any time notations taken from this tape
rather than any of the televised episodes are flagged with an asterisk.
Notes indicate where such entries may conflict with the episodes. I have
decided against entering items from THE SECRET DIARY OF LAURA PALMER, which
conflicts much more than the "DIANE..." does.
Whether I will continue this during the Second Season remains to be seen.
I will most likely do so after the Season Premiere, but after that...?
****************************************************************************
DANGER! DANGER! WILL ROBINSON
There are entries from "DIANE..." that cover the morning after the First
Season Finale. Some of these may be considered spoilers, so be warned.
****************************************************************************
Note 1: The series is set in February/March of 1989, so all dates are
assumed to be for that year unless otherwise specified. THE
SECRET DIARY OF LAURA PALMER, it should be noted, moves events
up a year to 1990.
Note 2: The show seems to be relatively consistent in advancing one day
with each episode. There are a couple of minor exceptions in which
an episode starts off where the previous one left off before going
on to the next day. The major exception is the final episode, which
in its entirety takes place on the same night as the previous one.
Note 3: Parenthetical comments, such as "Harry to Cooper" following day or
time notations indicate how the time of the event was determined.
The notation "Cooper to Diane" is intended to mean his dictations
into his tape recorder. Lengthier notes of how the time was
determined follow the entry.
****************************************************************************
1983 ("Six years ago" - Truman to Cooper)
-- Andrew Packard brings Josie over from Hong Kong to be his wife.
August 1987 (approximately)
-- Andrew Packard dies, supposedly in a boating accident. Truman first
tells Cooper that Packard died "last year", which would have been
1988, but later tells him that it happened "a year-and-a-half ago".
This latter is more probably correct, given the following...
-- Hank Jennings "accidently" kills an unnamed vagrant, is convicted
of vehicular manslaughter, and sent to jail. (He's said to have
spent 18 months in jail.)
08 Feb 1988
-- Teresa Banks murdered in southwest corner of Washington state.
-- Leo Johnson incarcerated in Hungry Horse, Montana on assault charges.
05 Feb 1989 (Sunday) or
06 Feb (Monday)
-- "Day One" (entry in Laura's diary). Day One of what? Laura and
James' relationship is my guess. During Cooper's questioning of
James, he asked what happened on 2/5, and James flashed back on
the time he gave Laura the locket. On the other hand, when Cooper
is looking at this page in the diary, the date at the top of the
page says February 6. Cooper did say to Diane that he had flipped
back 18 days to "Day One". That could be 18 days from 2/23 (the
last entry in the diary), yielding the 5th, or from 2/24 (the day
he was looking at it), yielding the 6th.
12 Feb (Sunday)
-- The picnic (James told Cooper that it was "two Sundays ago").
23 Feb (Thursday)
05:00 PM (Josie to Cooper and Truman)
-- Laura arrives at Josie Packard's for Josie's English lessons.
Josie says that Laura left an hour later.
Sometime after dinner
-- Last entry in Laura's diary: "Nervous about meeting J. tonight."
(After dinner because she remarks about having asparagus for
dinner again.)
09:00-9:30
-- Laura returns home from Bobby's house. (Sarah Palmer tells Truman
that she last saw Laura when she got home about 9:00. Bobby answers
yes when Cooper asks him, "She was studying at your house until
about 9:30. Isn't that right?")
09:30
-- Laura snuck out of her house (James to Cooper).
12:30
-- Laura jumps off James' bike and runs off (James to Cooper).
12:00-04:00 (AM)
-- Estimated time of Laura's death according to the preliminary autopsy.
01:00 (approx) (Cooper to others)
-- Leo, Laura, Jacques, and Ronnette arrive at Jacques' cabin for fun
and games.
24 Feb (Friday) [Episode #0 (pilot) - 4/8,8/5]
"Just after dawn" (Harry to Bobby)
-- Pete Martell finds Laura's body.
-- Ben and Leland have meeting with Norwegians.
-- Bobby takes Shelly home, then goes to school and is arrested.
Before 8:00 [Cooper was put on the case prior to this time]
-- Ronnette announced as missing, then found wandering along tracks.
* 08:00 (Cooper to Diane)
* -- Cooper gets case to investigate in Twin Peaks
* 09:00 (Cooper to Diane)
* -- Cooper boards plane in Seattle
-- Nadine sends Big Ed off to get the drapes ("They said those drapes
would be ready by 10.")
* 10:15-10:30 (Cooper to Diane)
* -- Cooper lands in Spokane, picks up car at FBI branch.
11:30 (Cooper to Diane)
-- Cooper enters Twin Peaks.
Noon/early afternoon
-- Cooper & Truman check on Ronnette, then Laura. ["DIANE..." says Cooper
meets Truman at 3:10 PM, which seems awfully late, since he arrived in
Twin Peaks at 11:30. What did he do in the meantime?]
-- Cooper & Truman look through Laura's diary.
-- Andy and team find the train car.
-- Cooper & Truman question Bobby, then Donna.
04:00 (approx)
-- "The Norwegians are leaving!" (one of Ben's employees tells concierge
that Ben would be back at 4:00 for the final signing of the deal with
the Norwegians, and Ben arrives as the Norwegians are leaving)
04:10 (Cooper to Diane)
-- Cooper & Truman at the train car.
* 09:00 (approx) (Cooper to Diane, reports on event after the fact at 9:30)
-- Town meeting where Cooper addresses the community leaders.
09:30 (approx)
-- Donna sneaks out to meet James at the Roadhouse. Big Ed to meet Norma
there as well. Fight breaks out, Joey Paulsen takes Donna to meet
James. J&D bury the locket. James is arrested.
12:28 AM (Cooper to Diane)
-- Cooper knocks off for the night. Harry goes to see Josie. Locket is
dug up by Person Unknown [who we discover later to be Dr. Jacoby]
25 Feb (Saturday) [Episode #1 - 4/12,8/11]
06:18 (Cooper to Diane)
-- Cooper is up and goes to breakfast, where he meets Audrey.
Early to mid-morning
-- Cooper & Truman get autopsy results from Dr. Hayward.
-- Shelly discovers Leo's shirt is soaked with blood just before going
to work.
-- Cooper & Truman question James.
-- Mike & Bobby talk in jail cell (Leo called Mike "yesterday" and Bobby
met with Leo "the night Laura died").

While a given instrument may "lean" toward one channel or the another, all of the music generally comes out of both channels. Dialogue, however, comes through on one channel or the other. So, Cooper appears on the left, Audrey on the right (or whatever).

I know there is an alt group but as many people have said a lot of sites do
not get the alt groups. Why should we discriminate against those sites?
I like twin peaks (and quantum leap). I want to read the postings for the

I use /TP/M with all it's variations in my kill file and still there are

@begin(soapbox)
"Slut" does indeed have negative connotations (which I meant to use),
but I disagree with the claim that it is a sexist word. "Sexism"
connotes the denigration of an entire gender, or of a person because of
their gender. My use of "slutty" did neither. Many words are
gender-specific, or at least oriented toward one gender or the other.
"Slut" is one such word, oriented toward use regarding certain women.
This is not to say that there aren't similar words that can be used to
describe similar men.
Speaking of knee-jerk...! In fact, if you read what Jym wrote again, you
will note: a) he said the word was *not* specific to women b) he said
*since* it is usually used to describe women, it *comes across* as
sexist.
What I did NOT say:
"Women are slutty."
"Donna, being a woman, couldn't help being slutty."
"Donna went through a period of typical female sluttiness."
"While men are to be lauded for sexual promiscuity and leanings
thereto, it is wholly inappropriate in women (specifically Donna)."
You didn't say this, but you *did* imply it. You see, the connotations
of the word "slut" are quite negative and do suggest that the person
wants sex inappropriately (too much, in this case)...
I sympathize with the causes of feminism, equality, and justice, but I

@end(soapbox)
Well, let's examine how appropriate it was. Donna felt that James might
be getting interested in someone else. She knew he had been very
attracted to Laura, who probably acted sexier than Donna normally does.
So, Donna was attempting to attract James (in however bizarre a way).
She was not trying to attract any other men (which *might* have been
"slutty"). Smoking, while an unpleasant habit, is not "slutty." Her
makeup and clothing, while they were sexy in a strange sort of way,
were *not* "slutty"...just different from her normal mode.
All in all, choosing to refer to someone trying to appear sexier to
attract a man she is in love with as "slutty" doesn't seem very
appropriate.
Now, what I want to know is, did we ever figure out if this was just
Donna being weird for a while, or was she being influenced from outside?

I agree that these are, more or less, the "rules" for a proper mystery. However, who ever claimed that Twin Peaks is a proper mystery? If Twin Peaks winds up not obeying these rules, then it won't be a proper mystery, but it will be *something*. Perhaps we shouldn't be expecting TP to conform to classic mystery rules. Perhaps it was intended all along to be *something* else. After all, TP is supposed to be pushing the outside of the television envelope. It breaks all kinds of molds; why not the mold that we expect stories to fit into? ______________ _____________________________ Bob Glickstein | Internet: bobg@andrew.cmu.edu Information Technology Center | Bitnet: bobg%andrew@cmuccvma.bitnet Carnegie Mellon University | UUCP: ...!harvard!andrew.cmu.edu!bobg Pittsburgh, PA 15213-3890 | (412) 268-6743 | Sinners can repent, but stupid is forever[src]

"Slut" does indeed have negative connotations (which I meant to use),
but I disagree with the claim that it is a sexist word. "Sexism"
connotes the denigration of an entire gender, or of a person because of
their gender. My use of "slutty" did neither. Many words are
gender-specific, or at least oriented toward one gender or the other.
"Slut" is one such word, oriented toward use regarding certain women.
This is not to say that there aren't similar words that can be used to
describe similar men.
What I did NOT say:
"Women are slutty."
"Donna, being a woman, couldn't help being slutty."
"Donna went through a period of typical female sluttiness."
"While men are to be lauded for sexual promiscuity and leanings
thereto, it is wholly inappropriate in women (specifically Donna)."
I sympathize with the causes of feminism, equality, and justice, but I

After extensive review I'd have to say that I think it is BOB also! However, I don't think that Truman is in the scene. He looks a bit like Truman but it seems clear that it isn't Truman because in the following scene in Truman's office Truman is asking Cooper how Audrey is (as if he weren't there). By the way, did they take Audrey into the Bookhouse. There are a lot of motorcycles out front and some books so I think that it is. After the guy who looks like Truman (call him Joe for now) helps Cooper carry Audrey to the bed drops back to where the guy who looks like BOB (call him Bob for now) is. It appears that Joe is conversing with Bob. This Bob character appears to be a biker with leather jacket and all. If Bob is BOB then why can Joe see and talk to him. Is he gifted or damned? Why don't Cooper and Hawk seem to notice Bob? Can they even see him? In a later scene when Cooper brings Benjamin Horne to see is daughter in the same room Bob is in the background again! Is this Bob = BOB? He really does look like him! Kind of sneaky for the TP people to slip the first scene of Bob strolling into the background into the credits.

I agree with Muffy's comments. I generally think of a slut as being a person who is not discriminate in sex partners, and is basically willing to sleep with anyone at the drop of a hat. Sexist or no, this description does not apply to Donna's behavior at any point. She very specifically wants to sleep with James. Maybe 'sleazy' would be a more appropriate word, or maybe just say 'so different', and we'll all know what's being referred to.

Nissan Sentra ad - 'Make room for BOB' marple@milton.u.washington.edu (Brenda Aldridge) 1990-11-08 15:54
Hopefully I got the car manufacturer right. There's a new commericial out for the Sentra that's pretty creepy if you've been watching TP. The narration goes on and on about how nice it would be if you always got the right of way -- the driver's name is Bob, and there's all these situations like driving through a toll booth, with a special lane only for BOB, etc. makes you wonder....[src]

That's Joey Paulson not BOB at the bookhouse w/audrey, can we add this to the FAQ list? This thread is driving me batty. Could Leland have been around the police station when Mike Gerard said "I know you are near BOB" or something like that? I remember Leland appeared at the police station before or after him during the same episode, I can't remember the specifics. (this is the one where Mike tries to shoot up with the funny blue stuff). I know Leland was at the Great Northern when Mike suggested BOB was at a place that fit that description. Early in the first season I remember when people were saying "yeah, right!" when i suggested Leland did it. After compiling a good list of evidence, now they are saying it's too obvious for it to be him. I just can't win! Grr. :) I hope it doesn't turn out to be Harriet or Norma or something.

Additions/Corrections to Favorite Quotes List jespah@milton.u.washington.edu (Kathleen Hunt) 1990-11-08 22:37
Drat, I was just about to post MY new quote list but Rob Jellinghaus beat
me to the punch with a long, very good list. So, I will confine myself
to listing only those quotes that Rob didn't have, that were incomplete, or
that had small, insignificant errors.
Also, if anyone has Judge Sternwood's
Valhalla speech or Lucy's rundown of what happened in Twin Peaks the
night Cooper was shot, I think those deserve to be on the list.
Thanks to all those who sent me quotes -- if you don't see yours here,
then they're on Rob's list as well, and maybe Bill Sherman's list too.
I did a quick, inaccurate count of the number of favorite quotes per character.
Characters who only said something as a foil for another character didn't get
credit, so this is subjective as well as inaccurate.
Characters who were only around for a few episodes (like Albert) are
obviously at a disadvantage....NO, I am NOT going to calculate average number
of favorite quotes per character per episode-minute! Jeez!
36 Cooper
17 Albert
9 Jerry

MIKE:I am...an inhabiting spirit.
MIKE: This [points to drawing] is his true face. But few can see it.
The gifted -- and the DAMNED.
Dr. Hayward: Well, as your doctor, Leland, what the hell happened to
your hair?
MIKE:A house, made of wood, surrounded by trees. The house is filled
with many rooms, each alike, but occupied by different souls,
night after night.
Cooper: The Great Northern Hotel!
Sven:Ben, I am so happy, I can't even tell you how much.
Cooper: I think I saw a rabbit!
Truman:Must've been a snowshoe rabbit. [<--correction]
Cooper: Snowshoe! Snowshoe rabbit!!
Cooper: So, how long have you and Hank been friends?
Albert:Mr. Horne, I recognize that your position in this fair community
necessitates venality, insincerity, and a certain irritating
manner of expressing yourself. Stupidity, however, is not a

The Man From Another Place: Let's rock! [pause as shadow floats by]
I've got good news. That gum you like is going to come back

But -- doesn't she look almost exactly like Laura Palmer?
Cooper: [to TMFAP] But she is Laura Palmer.
[to Laura] Are you Laura Palmer?
LAURA:I feel like I know her, but sometimes my arms bend back.
TMFAP:Where we're from, the birds sing a pretty song, and there's
always music in the air. [stands and dances]
(the complete dream speech from MIKE and BOB:)
MIKE:In the darkness of future past, the magician longs to see.
One chants out between two worlds, FIRE, WALK WITH ME.
We lived among the people. I think you say...convenience store?
We lived above it. I mean it as it is, like it sounds.
I too was touched by the devilish one -- tattoo on the left

I took the entire arm off. My name is Mike; his name is Bob.

places than in Twin Peaks.

Miscellaneous stuff... jespah@milton.u.washington.edu (Kathleen Hunt) 1990-11-08 22:38
Re the events forty years ago:
I'd love it if Lynch would film what happened then ...picture it, a house in
the woods near a lake, a young Leland wandering over to a nearby white house,
"Pennsylvania 6-5000" playing on someone's radio in the background, and
suddenly little Leland hears a match strike (just like Wild at Heart!) and
turns to see -- BOB. "Would you like to play with fire, little boy?"
Re Leland-did-it:
Many moons ago when I first heard the Leland-did-it theory, I thought it
was impossible because Leland WAS SURPRISED when Harry told him his
daughter was dead. But now, with the Leland-Possessed-By-BOB angle,
that isn't such a problem any more. If LPBB did kill Laura, do you think
maybe Leland doesn't remember, or thought it was just a dream? Imagine
how horrible that would be, to dream that you killed your daughter, then
wake up and think "It was only a dream!" only to find out later that
day that your daughter is dead.

I agree about Sayers and James (Christie is more like popcorn -- I read it
without noticing it). One reason I don't feel let down, though, is that
Sayers and James are GOOD AUTHORS, that is to say, their books would
still be worth reading even if there were no mysteries at all. I think
Twin Peaks is much the same. WKLP is just part of an interesting and
unusual story.

Morris wore a tuxedo-type outfit, with FBI in large letters on the back and on the front, three bullet holes in the white shirt, cardboard (I think) for a bullet-proof vest underneath, and one of the three bullet holes was bloody. Combination of the One-Eyed Jacks outfit at the time Cooper was shot, with the FBI jacket used on the hunt. It was very effective for those who knew Twin Peaks. Others were mystified (as could be expected). Chris did an excellent job as the Log Lady, having her log speak to varous people during the day.

The killer is not... syswerda@bbn.com (Gilbert Syswerda) 1990-11-09 06:49
The killer is certainly not a news reporter. They are strangely absent from Twin Peaks. Not having news reporting and television crews and that whole bit allows the show to continue on from one episode to another as if nothing major had happened previously. Imagine how different the show would be if CNN were there interviewing anyone and everyone and putting them on national television.[src]

It Hant Necessarily So fehr@ms.uky.edu (Robert Fehr) 1990-11-09 07:25
Previews -- Looks like the Nov 10 will be a musical episode, a la "Cop Rock" Helen Forrest's lovely version of "Skylark" will play over the opening credits instead of the usual reverb heavy theme. Nadine, Ben, and Philip Gerard, will do a trio -- "One Eyed, One Horned, One Armed, Flying Spiritual Essence Devourer" Hawk will do a lovely "Owl Be Seeing You" solo, seated atop a white stallion, defiantly holding aloft a Sharp's buffalo rifle. Josie confesses to Jacoby to the shooting of Agent Cooper in "Belly High" Bobby cavorts around Leo singing "Hant Misbehavin." Sample lyric: "I don't stay out late/ No where to go/ I just sit here drooling/ All over poor Leo " An odd theme follows -- "The Nightingale Sang (in the parking lot of the Double R" with a seque into a production number "Top Hat, White Tie, and Tail Feathers" Laura's killer slips out the back door un-noticed, while Cooper croons to Audrey, "I Don't Stand (a Ghost of a Chants with You)" Closing Credits -- Ann Peebles singing "I Can't Stand the Rain" -- Jeff Davis davis@keats.ca.uky.edu Nobody knows, from sea to shining sea, why we are having all this trouble with our republic.[src]

Re: TP Halloween Costumes ACPS7035@Ryerson.CA 1990-11-09 08:34
For Halloween, I was going to go as Agent Cooper, I had the costume and
everything:1 black suit
1 black tie (pattern to the tie optional)
1 small handheld tape recorder (mini casette)
1 small BB hand gun and shoulder holster
hair combed back and a lot of funny and weird
quotes from the show,
If fact, they were on the tape so I wouldn't
forget them.
I liked my costume, but at the last moment I changed it and went as the
"Have a nice day" psyco-killer from the comic 'The Tick'.
This costume when over bigger because the people who didn't watch TP
didn't feel out of place, But Everyone there I had forced to read 'The Tick'.

|I|f somebody has the correct text to Andy's "sperm bank" speech,
`-' by all means, send it to one of the quotes list maintainers!
It goes something like this:
When the Tacoma Sperm Bank was looking for donors, of
course I went. It's my civic duty, and I like whales.
They told me I was sterile, and I thought that meant
I wouldn't have to take a bath, but then they told me
it meant I couldn't have babies. So what I want to
know, Lucy Moran, is why you're having one.
That's from memory, and it's probably inaccurate.

Now, here's the answer..."Why is Donna acting so slutty (or sleazy)"
First thing, this is David Lynch's work, not a show that is channelled through
DL. I had a discussion with a person who is very much into movies, and what
he and i both concurred on is the fact that what happen to Donna, in regards
Audrey is a well used device common to David Lynch.
Both girls' characters transferred over from each other, Donna turn from a
sweet little innocent girl into a 'slut'. Where as Audrey who after having
the disscussion with Donna about what each plan to do transfers her character
trait from being 'slut' and bad to being nice and innocent (well not quite).
This is just Lynch's way of saying, "Don't sterotype a character"
These observation of transfer of character can also be seen in Laura's mother
and father.
To sum up....
Donna good, Audrey BAD...
then Audrey good, Donna BAD...
A thousand points of light...
Quale still gaining acceptance...
