I am back once again.  Everyones thank yous were greatly appreciated.  
Now it is time for episode #006.  If you remember correctly, the previous 
episode ends with Coop entering his room and Audry is in his bed.  The next 
show started with Coop sitting on the edge of the bed and them talking. It was
a little different in the original script. (*Note to person asking if the
writers had in mind the idea of UFO's and the Black and White Lodge in the 
beginning, the answer is no.  If you look closely, the floor of the red room
in Cooper's dream is zig-zag with two different shades of brown.  The floor in
the red room in the final epised is changed to black and white zig zags for 
the Black and White Lodge.  You can tell they bent the story a little to make
it fit the new idea they had of the black and white lodge*) 

Episode #006
First Draft Nov. 3.1989
2nd Nov.8
3rd Nov. 16
4th Nov.17
5th Nov. 18

The episode does not begin with Coop and her talking that night in his room.
It begins with them already at breakfast the next morning.

Camera follows Waitress Truy as she crosses the dining room floor and sets
down two plates stacked with griddlecakes and ham, two glasses of orange 
juice, two cups of coffee, and a small ceramic pitcher of maple syrup. Another
angle reveals special agen Dale cooper and audrey horne.
C:syrup?
A:thank you.
C:sugar?
A:just a little
C:good juice.
A:(loving every shared moment) Do you eat the same thing every day?
C:when I find i like something, I stick with it.
A:me too.
(Audrey levels a loving smile his way.  Coop never looks up from his food)
A:(trying to get his attention) I'm sort of excited.
C:big test at school?
A:Not that I know of. (beat) It's my first day at work. I got a job.
C:Where?
A:That's a secret.
C:audrey, a secret is a dangerous thing.
A:Do you have any?
C: (simply) No.
A:(disappointed) Oh. (beat) But Laura did, didn't she?
C: Laura was full of secrets.
(Audrey just looks of Cooper, a sigh in her heart.  She's never been in
love before)
A:Agent Cooper?
C:Hmm?
A:I'm going to help you learn all of Laura's secrets. We'll learn them together
(Cooper finally looks up from his breakfast, sees the adoring expression on 
her face)
C:Stick to your homework, Audrey.  A high school diploma is nothing to sneeze
at.
(Audrey sees his concer, shakes it off.  She will not be dissuaded.)
A:Homework's for kids. I'm a working girl now. (holding up pitcher) Syrup?

(*I guess they were going to let the audience wonder what happened between
them that night. I think it's obvious nothing did, and I kind of like this]
sequence better than the one used, except for the fact Coop is portrayed as
a more caring and nicer person in the scene used*)

When Audry looks in Battis's black book, both Ronette's and Laura's initials
are in it.  (*it seems they rewrote to unfold the story more slowly, but I
think if they kept some of the things they ommitted, the show would have 
made more complete sense.  You never really find out Ben loved Laura until the 
episode when the killer is revealed, unless you read the Diary.  They never
really explained on the show the jelousy of Audrey of Laura and her father. I
think the show should have been able to be understood better by the people 
who might not have read the extra books.  OF, course I love the books.*)

Catherine has a conversation with Einer (the Norwegian), Ben and Jerry, and
ben tells einer that catherine is going to be Project manager of Ghostwood 
estates. 

Here is an interesting scene that was ommitted.  It takes place after Audrey
leave another message for Coop and the time she slips the note under his door
before going to Jack's. Anyone ever notice that Audrey looks like she's been
crying when she slips the note under the door? Here's why... (*also, did any
one notice that the Asian man who checked in across the hall was the man
who was with Catherine when she was disguiesed as an oriental business man.
that means Catherine had the plan of disguising herself before the mill fire.*)
Now for the omitted scene.
Audry walks down hall and hears her mom, johnny, and jacoby.
johnny:Ahoooooh!
m:Johnny,please-
J:let me handle this, MRs. HOrne, Johnny listen to me-\
johnny:Ahoooooh!
(Audry reacts, wonders.  she steps to the small secret doorway, opens it and
enters)
J:I want you to listen to me, partner. We're partners aren't we pal? Aren't we?
Laura's not coming back, Johnny.  She's gone to someplace safe and warm.  Where every stranger is a friend. and every friend greets you with a smile. All
those smiling faces make a kind of music, johnny. A song that starts deep
inside your heart, a song you knew all your life, but could never quite
remember the melody.  Laura's hearing it now. She's singing for you and for me.
And no one will ever hurt her agian. (to mrs. horne) you mustn't blame yourself
m:I've told you this before, but I've never told you the entire truth. I've 
been holding this inside for so long...when johnny fell.  Johnny was nine. 
Audrey was just a baby, crawling then. she was such an actife little thing.
we were standing at the top of the stairs, talking, Johnny and I. audrey tried
to stand up and pushed against johnny's leg.  he took a step back onot one of
her toys and slipped and thenext thing i knew...johnny was falling down the
stairs...all the way down...he didn't just fall. Audrey pushed him.
(this is one secret Audrey wishes she never learned, she exits her hiding place
so does not hear the rest of the conversation)
J:sylvia, johnny's condition is not the result of a fall or a physical injury
of any kind. his faculties are intact. he has simply retreated to a world of
his own devising, a place where he feels safe. he's chosen to remain a child
demanding our care and attention.  his fall had nothing to do with his current
condition and neither does Audrey.
m:but why?
J:i believe he made this choice in order to escape some emotional psycological
trauma from early childhood or perhaps infancy. and if I can unearth his 
secret, i know i can bring johnny back to us agian.  (johnny comprehends the
conversation and looks away)
(*so Audrey thinks she is responsible for Johnny's condition in the original
script and what would have been his trauma?*)

Waldo's original confession: (in the voice of Laura Palmer):
(*he said Laura, Laura earlier in the script*)
W:Stop it, Leo. That's not funny. I said stop. don't go there. don't go
there. don't go there. Leo, I'm not kidding. You're hurting me. Dammit,
I want you to stop. Please. Aaaaaaaargh!

Maddy originally tell Jacoby to come to Easter park at the gazeebo.
James say to her before he and Donna leave"you know what to do?"
she nods.

I'll post this now, and then type the next one. enjoy!
