OK, here's how we get around the lack of our leading man (at least until
Lynch/Frost can come up with the $$ redefine his career goals).

Opening scene: screen filled with twin mountain peaks, but instead of the
richly forested mountains we all know, these are like giant sand dunes...
a desert devoid of life.  We hear guttural Lynchian shrieks...dinosaurs?  or
sandworms?

Gradually the camera pulls back.  The shrieks increase in pitch.  We come 
to see the true location:

The sandbox.  Little Dale Cooper, happy as can be, playing with his favorite
shovel and pail.   As he claps his chubby little hands with glee, the camera
pulls back further, giving us the Suburban Playground tableau, kids playing,
running, skipping.  We see children on the teeter totter, on the jungle jim,
on the swings,  --but wait a sec, what about that kid on the swing set?  The 
one with the gray hair, and the greasy Levi jacket, hey, isn't he a little old
to be...Listen kid, you shouldn't be playing with matches, you could...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA....
