I can summarize, though I don't know the exact words.

Scene: Starry Night
(Echo of the words "Cooper" float in the background as the camera
pans.  Then a 3-triangle symbol of orange spirals toward the camera
growing in size as a whoosing sound happens. 

                                 *******
                                  *   *

                              * *   *   * *

Then a wall of flames.  They disappear from sight as the Major appears
in a rock throne that is covered with lush plantlife.

Major: I remember a flash of light. A vague shape in the distance and stepping
away from the campfire.  Then nothing until I returned to the campfire
2 days later.  I am conscious of what happened but it is unavailable to me.
The only thing I remeber is the lasting image of a large owl."

(Now Doc Hayward takes a photo of the Major's neck where the 3-triangle
symbol is engraved.)

Doc: There are techniques that would help us to get to your hidden thoughts.

Major: Those wouldn't work on me.

Cooper: What does your work involve?

Major: That information, as I have told myself many times, is classified.
Perhaps there are pieces of information of such importance that conspiracy
does not justify their protection.                   

(He is now in the sherriff's station, back from the dream-like memory)

Major: Is this for my soul?  Is this meant (he shakes and starts to wring
his hands) for my soul?

Cooper: Please start from the beginning.

Major: Are you familiar with Project Blue Book.

Cooper: The Air Force project that gathered evidence regarding UFOs.

Major: It was officially stopped in 1969.  Unofficially, there are some
of us who have continued to do work on gathering evidence of sightings
in the skies, and in the case of Twin Peaks, below the ground.  Have
you ever heard of the White Lodge?

( Two knocks.  The door opens. Two Air Force Sentries.  Major Briggs stiffins.)

Sentry: Major Briggs?

Truman:  Wait a minute.  You can't just come into this station...(Sentry
puts hand on gun) and take a friend of mine...

Briggs: It's OK.  I'll be OK.  

(He Leaves with them.)   
Scene Ends.
