Many people have been asking for a summary of the shooting script,
so I have extracted all the entries in the timeline that correspond to the
shooting script of the movie, dated Aug 8, 1991. Some scenes are transcribed.
Note that many scenes were cut and some rearranged in the final product.
The scenes in the script are in chronological order here. A complete timeline
should be ready within a couple of weeks.

#Jan 1988
# -- Teresa moves into the Canyon Trailer Park (Teresa's file, FWWM)
# -- Teresa rents a trailer from Mrs. Simmons (Rodd to Desmond and Stanley,
# FWWM)
# -- Teresa and another girl come looking for work at Hap's. There's only
# one opening so Teresa takes it. Irene nevers sees the friend again.
# (Irene to Desmond and Stanley, FWWM)
# "just before [Teresa's] time" (Irene to Desmond and Stanley, FWWM)
# -- Teresa's left arm goes dead for three days
#Feb [Fire Walk With Me (movie) - 8/28/92
# Written by David Lynch and Bob Engels
# Directed by David Lynch]
# -- Teresa Banks' body, wrapped in plastic, floats through Hells Canyon,
# drifting along in Wind River
# -- Gordon's office in Portland. He calls for Agent Chester Desmond.
# -- Fargo, North Dakota. Desmond and another agent are in the middle of
# busting some prostitutes. Desmond's car phone rings and Cole tells
# him he's needed out west.
# -- Airport outside of Portland. Desmond arrives. In the security lounge,
# Cole introduces him to Sam Stanley. Lil walks in, wearing a red wig,
# and does a dance. She makes a sour face, walks in place, puts one
# hand in her pocket, and makes a fist with the other while blinking
# both eyes. Cole says it's her mother's sister girl and holds four
# fingers in front of his eyes. Cole will be heading back to Philadelphia
# today.
# -- On the highway, Desmond explains Lil's dance to Stanley. The sour face
# means they're gonna have problems with the local authorities. Both
# eyes blinking means there's going to be trouble higher up - Desmond
# guesses a sheriff and a deputy. The one hand in her pocket means they
# are hiding something and the other hand made into a fist means they are
# going to be belligerent. Walking in place means there's going to be a
# lot of legwork. Desmond figures Cole saying "mother's sister's girl"
# means the sheriff's uncle is in federal prison. The red wig means
# they are headed into a dangerous situation. Stanley noticed that the
# dress was altered. Desmond explains it means drugs. There was a
# blue rose pinned to her dress but Desmond won't explain what it
# means. Stanley asks about Cole's tie but Desmond says it's just Cole's
# bad taste.
# 4:30 pm (Cable to Desmond)
# -- Desmond and Stanley arrive at the sheriff's station in Deer Meadow.
# The deputy, Cliff Howard, and the secretary try to get them to wait
# around for a long time but Desmond pinches Cliff's nose and walks into
# the sheriff's office. Desmond demands all pertinent information
# regarding Teresa Banks from a belligerent Sheriff Cable. On his way
# out, Desmond notices a framed newspaper clipping on the wall. It
# reads "Cable Bends Steel" and there is a picture of Cable bending
# a steel bar into a U shape.
# -- As Desmond and Stanley walk to the adjoining morgue, they see a pile
# of steel bars. Stanley figures the entire office, furniture included,
# is worth $27,000.
# -- At the morgue, Desmond reads Teresa's file. She worked the night shift
# at Hap's Truck Stop. No one came to claim the body and no next of kin.
# Stanley pulls out a special machine, then into his recorder, he reports
# a crushed skull, probable cause repeated blows to the back of the head.
# They notice that her ring is missing and Desmond doesn't find it in the
# personal effects. Stanley finds something under Teresa's ring finger.
# It's the letter T.
# 3:33 am (clock on wall)
# -- Stanley zips up Teresa in a body bag
# -- Stanley and Desmond head out to Hap's Diner. There in the manager's
# office, they question the manager Jack. Someone is working in the room
# on a light that keeps buzzing and shorting. He doesn't know what he's
# doing so he pokes at the wiring.
# -- At the counter, they question Jack's wife Irene. Irene pours them some
# coffee and Stanley cases the restaurant. She says that Teresa worked
# for a month, could never get to work on time and had a problem with
# cocaine. Irene never actually saw her use it, though.
#Old guy: {gets Desmond's attention} You talking about that little
# girl that was murdered?
#Desmond: You have something to tell us?
#OG: yeah.
#D: What?
#OG: I can tell shit from shinola. Gets me a long way down the road.
# Dawn
# -- Desmond and Stanley arrive at Canyon Trailer Court and wake up Carl
# Rodd (he has a sign on his door, "Do not disturn before 9 a.m... ever").
# Rodd is louder than Cole. Desmond and Stanley look around Teresa's
# trailer. They find no ring. Stanley writes into a notebook, muttering,
# "$5600." Desmond notices a picture hanging on the wall. Under a
# magnifying glass, he sees Teresa's wearing a ring in it.
# -- After Rodd brings them some coffee, Cliff pokes his head into the
# trailer. He says that he lives there also and was at a party the night
# Teresa died.
#Desmond: Did you know Teresa Banks?
#Cliff: Got a couple of cups of coffee at Hap's from her. That's it.
# By the way where do you get off questioning a lawman? I could ask
# you the same question.
#D: No you couldn't.
# -- Cliff heads off to work. Desmond bends down and finds a Titleist
# golf ball under the trailer.
# Midday
# -- At the Sheriff's station, Cable won't let the FBI take the body.
# Cable challenges Desmond to a discussion. Desmond kicks his ass.
# -- Stanley gets in the crime van with Teresa's body, on his way to Portland
# Day
# -- Desmond is back at the trailer park. Carl points out which trailer
# is Cliff's, then goes back into his own. Desmond walks around Cliff's
# trailer, then gets a strange feeling. He looks past Teresa's trailer
# to the edge of the park where he sees a hand appear in the window
# of a trailer. The hand disappears. Desmond walks over to the trailer
# and sees a mound of dirt with a small indentation at the top. Teresa's
# ring is in it. He reaches out to touch it and disappears.
#(Thursday) (Cooper to Diane, FWWM)
# Day
# -- Philadelphia.
#Cole: EVERY SYLLABLE OF EVERY WORD IS THE SOUND OF TWO HANDS
# CLAPPING. IS THAT WHAT YOU SAID, ALBERT?
#Albert: Six to eight hands clapping. I was referring to the
# possibility of a little silence.
#{The phone rings, Cole answers}
# -- Cooper is in Diane's office, trying to figure out what she changed.
# He's got it. She moved the clock 12 inches to the left. Now she
# has to clean the coffee cup. He goes over to Cole and Albert.
# Cole tells him that Desmond has disappeared.
# Day
# -- Stanley's apartment in Spokane. There are adding machines on
# workbenches everywhere. He shows Cooper his special machine then
# the letter he found under Teresa's fingernail.
# 4:20 pm (Cooper to Diane)
# -- Rodd points the way to Cliff's trailer but Cooper picks up the same
# vibe that struck Desmond and walks in the opposite direction.
# He finds tire tracks where a trailer used to be.
#Cooper: Can you tell me who's trailer it was... and who stayed in
# the trailer?
#Carl: An old woman and her grandson.
#Cooper: Can you tell me what their names were?
#Carl: Chalfont. Weird. Chalfont was the name of the folks that
# rented the space before they did. Two Chalfonts.
# Cooper feels something and stands. He sees a car under a tree and
# close to the tracks. It's Desmond's.
#Cooper: {into recorder} Diane, it's 4:20 in the afternoon. I am
# standing here at Wind River where they found the body of Teresa
# Banks. Diane, this case has got a strange feeling for me. Not
# only has Agent Chester Desmond disappeared but this is one of
# Cole's Blue Rose cases. The clues that were found by Agent
# Desmond and Agent Stanley have led to dead ends. The letter
# below the fingernail gives me the feeling that the killer will
# strike again. But like the song says, "...who knows where or
# when."
#16 Feb 1989 (Thursday) ("seven days before")
# Morning
# -- In Twin Peaks, Laura walks outside her house.
# 10:10 am (Cooper to Cole [Cooper incorrectly says it is the 15th])
# -- In Philadelphia, Cooper tells Cole that he is worried about today
# from a dream he told him about. He then looks at the calendar and
# checks his watch. He walks from the room into the hallway and looks
# into the lens of the surveillance camera. He runs into to the
# surveillance room and sees an empty hallway on the monitor.
# -- In Buenos Aires, Phillip Jeffries checks into a hotel, The Palm Deluxe.
# The bellhop picks up Jeffries' bag and they head up to his room, 612.
# -- Cooper runs back to the hall, then back to the surveillance room.
# The monitor shows an empty hallway. He runs back into the hallway.
# Behind him, at the end of the hall, a door opens and Phillip
# Jeffries enters the hallway, headed towards Cooper, who doesn't see
# him because he is staring intently into the camera. Cooper runs
# back to the surveillance room and sees on the monitor himself staring
# into the camera, then Phillip Jeffries walking past him towards the
# camera.
# -- Gordon calls Cooper to his office. Albert and Cole are staring
# bug-eyed at Jeffries.
#Cole: PHILLIP!
#Albert: {stands up} Phillip!
#{Jeffries moves into the room, Cooper steps in}
#Cooper: Phillip?
#Cole: COOPER, MEET THE LONG LOST PHILLIP JEFFRIES. YOU MAY HAVE
# HEARD OF HIM AT THE ACADEMY.
#Jeffries: I'm not going to talk about Judy. Keep Judy out of this.
#Cooper: But...
#Cole: STAND FAST, COOP.
#J: {pointing at Cooper} Who do you think that is there?
#A: Suffered some bumps on the old noggin', eh, Phil?
#Cole: WHAT THE HELL DID HE SAY? {pointing at Cooper} THAT'S
# SPECIAL AGENT DALE COOPER. {focusing on Jeffries} ARE YOU
# OKAY, JEFFRIES? WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?
#J: I want to tell you everything, but I don't have a lot to go on.
# But I'll tell you one thing: Judy is positive about this.
#A: How interesting. I thought we were going to keep Judy out
# of this.
#J: {sits down} Listen to me carefully. I saw one of their
# meetings. It was above a convenience store.
#A: Who's meeting? Where have you been?
#Cole: FOR GOD'S SAKE, JEFFRIES, YOU'BE BEEN GONE DAMN NEAR TWO YEARS.
#J: It was a dream. {takes Albert's arm} We live inside a dream.
#A: And it's raining Post Toasties.
#J: NO, NO. I found something... in Seattle at Judy's... And then,
# there they were... {Albert's about to say something, but Cole
# stops him} They say quietly for hours.
# Flashback:
#Six people in a large, barren, filthy room. Cheap plastic storm
#windows flap in the cold win. The Man From Another Place (Mike)
#and BOB sit at a formica table. Behind them on plastic torn chairs
#huddle Mrs. Tremond and her grandson. Two big woodsmen with full
#beards sit quietly. [Dialogue is subtitled]
#First woodsman: We have descended from pure air.
#MFAP: Going up and down. Intercourse between the two worlds.
#BOB: Light of new discoveries.
#Mrs. Tremond: Why not be composed of materials and combinations
# of atoms?
#Grandson: This is no accident.
#MFAP: This is a formica table. Green is its color. {touches table}
#FW: Our world.
#MFAP: With chrome. And everything will proceed cyclically.
#Second Woodsman: Boneless.
#Mike: Yes, find the middle place.
#BOB: {screams with anger} I HAVE THE FURY OF MY OWN MOMENTUM.
#G: Fell a victim.
#MFAP: {raises hand} Fire Walk With Me.
#BOB: {claps his hand, circle of fire appears in room}
# Fire Walk With Me.
#{Through the circle is the red room. BOB crawls in, Mike yells
#and leaps in after him.}
#SW: Thus time moves on.
# Back in the FBI office:
#J: I followed. {begins to cry, to himself:} The ring... ring...
#Cole: {hinting} ALBERT, I'LL TAKE THAT SECOND MINERAL WATER.
# { Albert gets the message and leaves discreetly} PHILLIP, LET'S
# CALM DOWN AND GET ALL OF THIS INTERESTING STORY ON PAPER. {into
# intercom} HELLO... HELLO. {nothing but static, the wiring and
# fluorescent lights start to hum} LET ME HEAR SOME GOOD NEWS. MY
# DEVICE IS FAULTY. WHERE THE HELL IS THE SOUND IN THIS THING?
# {pounds intercom} MAYDAY...
#J: {hearing "may," turns to look at the calendar} May? 1989?
#{Calendar shows 1989. Cooper looks out of the room to see if anyone
# is coming to help Cole. Static grows louder.}
#Cole: WHAT... AM I ALONE? {Cole turns back to Jeffries, who has
# disappeared. Papers from Cole's desk are sticking to Jeffries'
# chair.} HE'S GONE.
#Cooper: {back into the room} What?
#Cole: ALBERT, COME BACK HERE. HE'S GONE. CALL THE FRONT DESK.
#A: {on phone} I've got the front desk right now. He never
# was here. No record of him entering the building... and the
# doctors should be here any minute.
#Cole: GREAT. I, MYSELF, AM GOING TO BE READY FOR THEM.
#Cooper: What's going on?
#{Albert rushes back into room}
#Cole: QUICKLY MEN... WORD ASSOCIATION, COOP. WHAT ARE YOU THINKING
# ABOUT RIGHT NOW?
#Cooper: Teresa Banks.
#Cole: Albert?
#A: Tylenol.
#Cole: WHY ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT TERESA BANKS, COOP?
#Cooper: It was a year ago today that Teresa Banks was killed. I'm
# wondering if the murderer will ever kill again.
#Cole: ALBERT, WHY TYLENOL?
#A: No offense, sir, but after a day with you it is mandatory.
# -- Back in Buenos Aires, Jeffries is standing in the hallway of the hotel.
# The wall behind him is seared black and smoking. A maid whimpers,
# trying to stave away an epileptic fit. The bellhop turns back to see
# Jeffries.
#J: {to Bellhop} Hey... hey...
#Bellhop: {half crying} Oh, Mr. Jeffries. De shit it come out of
#my ass! Santa Maria, where did you go?
# -- Cooper plays back the surveillance camera tape for Cole.
# Cooper: He was here.
# -- Donna joins Laura in walking to school. They talk about math, James
# calling Donna last night, Laura knowing Bobby seeing someone else,
# and Bobby being pissed because he think's Laura's seeing someone else.
# -- Donna runs into Mike at school
# -- James and Laura agree to meet at 2:30
# -- Laura ducks into the bathroom to do a quick hit of cocaine.
# Schoolbell rings.
# -- Bobby's late to school again. He kisses the trophy case with Laura's
# picture in it.
# 2:30 pm (clock on wall)
# -- James and Laura meet in the custodian's room. She says she loves him
# but it doesn't matter. They make love on the floor.
# End of school (bell ringing)
# -- Bobby's pissed at Laura since he couldn't find her for the last hour
# After school
# -- Donna and Laura are eating nuts at Donna's. Eileen rolls in to check
# on the nuts and motors out. They talk about James, Bobby, and Mike.
# D: Do you think that if you were falling in space you would slow
# down after a while or go faster and faster?
#L: Faster and faster. For a long time you wouldn't feel anything.
# Then you would burst into fire... forever.
# -- Laura returns home. No one else is home. She goes to her room,
# lights up a cigarette, takes the cocaine out of her public diary
# and takes a snort. She gets out her private diary from behind the
# dresser, ready to write in it, when she notices pages are missing.
# She panics, taking it and running from the room. Down the stairs,
# she nearly collides with her mother, arms full of groceries. She
# asks to use the car and Sarah reminds her she'll never be a smoker
# if she doesn't start.
# -- Laura arrives at Harold's.
#L: My secret diary. There are pages missing.
#H: Who would do that?
#L: Bob.
#H: But Bob isn't real.
#L: The pages are gone. That's real.
#H: Maybe.
#L: Bob is real. He's been having me since I was 12. {Harold is
# stunned} The diary was hidden too well. He's the only one who
# could know where it was. He's getting to know me, now. _He's
# real._ He speaks to me.
#H: What does Bob say?
#L: {whispering} He wants to be me... or he will kill me.
#H: No... No...
#L: {strangely} Oh, yes... yes... {starts toward Harold}
#H: What? Please.
#L: {Feeling of Bob comes over her. She screams. Harold steps
# back. Laura grabs him.} FIRE WALK WITH ME. {buries her face
# in his shoulder, whispers} The trees... the trees... {they
# break} You have to hide the diary, Harold. You made me write
# it all down. He doesn't know about you. You'll be safe. {stares
# at him, eyes wide, suspicious} You're not Bob are you, Harold?
# If you are, you can kill me right now. Kill me right now,
# if you are.
#H: Laura, no. I'm not. I'm not Bob. {begins to shake and cry}
# Poor Laura. I wish I could help you. {holds her}
#L: I hate him, I hate it. Sometimes I love it. But now I'm
# afraid. I am so afraid.
#H: But you're strong Laura... so much stronger than I... How can
# I help you? I can't. I can't even go outside. {Laura touches
# his cheek} What about James? Can't James help you? You two
# are so in love.
#L: {flat} He's in love with a girl who's dead. {hands him the
# diary} It _is_ dangerous for you to have it. I'm sorry.
#H: I'm so sorry, Laura.
#L: {kisses him passionately} I don't know when I can come back.
# Maybe never. {She leaves, out to the car, starts the car and takes
# a snort of cocaine}
# Night
# -- Laura returns home to her mother setting the table.
# -- Sarah puts the rest of the dinner at the table. Laura is already
# seated. Leland enters, pretending he is a giant. He says the
# Norwegians are coming next week and teaches the two a little
# Norwegian.
# 11:30 pm (clock)
# -- Laura sneaks out of the house
# -- A big semi comes to a stop on the highway. Laura gets in. She snorts
# some cocaine then gets on top of him. An owl hoots.
#17 Feb (Friday)
# Day
# -- Cooper tells Albert he feels the murderer will strike again. He
# predicts the victim to be a blonde woman in high school, sexually
# active, on drugs, and crying out for help. He says she is preparing
# a great abundance of food at this moment.
# -- Nadine and Ed enter the RR for coffee while Norma sends Shelly to
# go help Laura take the Meals on Wheels meals to the car. As Laura
# puts the dinners into the back of the car, she sees Mrs. Tremond and
# her grandson in the parking lot waving for her to come over. Laura
# walks over, and Mrs. Tremond holds out a framed picture.
#T: This would look nice on your wall.
#{Laura takes the picture. It's of a room with flowered wallpaper
# and a dark doorway in its corner}
#G: He's looking for a book with pages torn out. He's walking
# towards the hiding place. He's moving under the fan right now.
# Laura sees Shelly coming out of the RR with another load of meals.
# She turns back to see the Tremonds walking away, unrealistically far,
# then tells Shelly she can't do Meals on Wheels today. Shelly goes
# in to tell Norma she will be doing today's run. Norma says okay, then
# begins to cry.
# -- Laura runs home, holding the picture. She enters her house, moving
# slowly, when she gets to her room, she sees Bob standing in her room,
# having pulled out the dresser. He smiles at her and she bolts from
# the room. She runs across two front yards to a big tree, crying, and
# watches as Leland walks out of the house, into his car and drive off.
# L: What? It can't be... It can't be him... no... no...
# A woman walks over to see if she is okay. Laura goes back into the
# house, slowly. Nothing. She runs to Donna's. They talk about
# being friends while Doc tries to make a rose appear out of a
# magician's handkerchief. The trick had worked at Sparkwood and 21.
# Eileen brings in muffins for the girls. Leland calls for Laura.
# Night
# -- Laura arrives home for dinner. Leland points out that Laura hasn't
# washed her hands yet and looks at her fingernails, particularly at her
# ring finger. Leland badgers her about the half-heart necklace she
# is wearing until Laura gets up to wash her hands.
# 10:35 pm (clock)
# -- Leland and Sarah get ready for bed, when Leland begins to cry. He
# can't remember the last time he told Laura he loves her, so he goes
# to do that. Laura is frozen with a tear in her eye. After he leaves,
# she remembers she left the picture on the neighbor's lawn so she goes
# and gets it, and puts it on her wall.
# -- Laura dreams.
#{Mrs. Tremond's picture. Into the picture and through the doorway.
#There's another room. Mrs. Tremond is standing there, beckoning
#us towards her and through another doorway. Through the second
#doorway. Another room. Mrs. Tremond's grandson is standing there,
#holding his hands above him. Into the space above his hands.
#Ring of fire. Into the ring of fire. Red room. MFAP walks into
#the red room to a table. A ring is there. Cooper enters.
#MFAP: {to Cooper} Is it future? Or is it past? Do you know who
# I am? I am The Arm. And I sound like this... {Puts his hands
# in front of his lips and makes the Indian whooping sound, picks
# up the ring. It's Teresa's. The symbols on it are identical to
# those at Owl cave.}
#Cooper: {to camera} Don't take the ring... Laura, don't take the
# ring.
#{MFAP moves the ring towards us.}
#{Laura is half awakened, tries to move her left arm, but it's
# asleep. She moves it with her right arm. Sounds like someone's
# calling her name. She turns to her right to see Annie Blackburn
# in bed with her, blood around her mouth.
#Annie: My name is Annie: I've been with Laura and Dale. The good
# Dale is in the lodge and he can't leave. Write it in your diary.
#{Sarah calls Laura, distant, mournful. Laura looks at the door,
# then at her bed. Annie's gone. In her hand is Teresa's ring.
# She screams. She gets up, goes to the door, opens it. Dark on
# the other side. She looks back at the picture and sees herself in
# the doorway looking back into the darkened rooms where Mrs.
# Tremond and her grandson were. Laura in the picture turns around
# and looks down at her room, sees herself asleep.}
#{Laura wakes from the dream, looks at the picture. Nothing.
# Her hand. No ring. She throws away the picture then does some
# cocaine.}
#18 Feb (Saturday)
# Morning
# -- James comes over to Laura's wondering where she was last night.
# Leland comes out and James leaves. Leland asks who he was.

# looking for a sweatshirt that Laura points out she is wearing.
# Day
# -- Leo shows Shelly how to scrub the floor. He hits her and the phone
# rings.
#L: {on phone} What are you doing calling me here?...
# No way, you already owe me money... Five thousand to be exact.
# {looks over to see if Shelly heard}
#S: {silently mouthing to herself} Five thousand???
# -- At the RR, Bobby gets off the phone with Leo, then calls Jacques,
# who says he has a friend who has what Bobby wants. Bobby writes some
# stuff down on a napkin.

# like she was waiting.
# LL: When this kind of fire starts, it is very hard to put out.
# {Touches her. Laura moves in behind it.}
#L: {whispers} Margaret?
#LL: The tender bows of innocence burn first and the wind rises -
# then all goodness is in jeopardy.
# -- Inside the Roadhouse, a singer sings on stage. Laura makes eye contact
# with Jacques behind the bar. Laura sits. Jacques nods to a couple
# of bikers who come over to her with drinks. One slides her a fifty

# Laura's topless, dancing with Buck and another friend. Later,
# Donna's stoned, dancing with Tommy. She sees Laura's blouse and

# been a year since Teresa was killed and that she was gonna get rich
# blackmailing somebody. Jacques mentions that she even called him
# asking what Laura's father looked like. Laura starts to get it on

# {Leland panics, the car slowly screeches towards the logging truck}

# at her, and Leo puts a OEJ chip in her mouth and says, "Bite the
# bullet, baby." Leland appears at the window, unseen. Leo wants some
# of Laura and Jacques wants some of the bourbon, but Leo holds the
# bottle tight. Jacques decks Leo, grabs the bottle and heads outside.

# screams. OAM: Bob, I can hear you singing.
# -- At the train car.
#{Leland hauls the two girls inside and shuts the door. Completely
# quiet. BOB and Leland going in and out like breathing. Girls
# shuddering as he circles them. He ties Laura up with the twine,
# bending the arms back.}
#Laura: {whispers} Are you going to kill me?
# -- Gerard tearing through the woods
# -- Train car.
#{Leland hoists Laura up so that she hovers facing the floor a foot
# off it. He places a mirror directly under her face. In the mirror,
# Laura sees herself turn into BOB. Leland screams.
#Leland: DON'T MAKE ME DO IT.
#Laura: NO, YOU HAVE TO KILL ME.
#Leland: I always thought you knew it was me.
#Laura: {to BOB in the mirror} NO! YOU CAN'T HAVE ME. {to Leland}
# KILL ME.
#Gerard: {arrives outside, bangs on the door} LET ME IN. LET ME IN.
# {Ronette pushes it open a little with her feet, Gerard reaches up
# to help her when she flies over his head, having been hit.
# Ronette hits the ground, head bent back at an odd angle. Gerard
# listens to the sounds. Laura screaming. Knife entering flesh.
# BOB screaming. Bloody knife through air. Leland screaming.
# Gerard leans in, takes a look, steps back laughing, yells at BOB}
# THAT'S HIS OWN DAUGHTER YOU'RE KILLING. {Laughs, runs away.

# puffed out, a bloody towel inside.

# pocket and drops them and the towel. He enters the circle beyond
# the curtains. Gerard is just leaving the other side of the room.
# Leland walks through the red room down a corridor into the red room
# again. Gerard and the MFAP are sitting side by side in a chair
# facing him. Leland stops and divides. One half becomes BOB,
# the other floats up abd becomes Leland, transparent. BOB reaches
# up and grabs Leland's wound, healing it. Gerard and the MFAP in
# unison [subtitled]: BOB, you're not going home without me. I want
# my garmonbozia.

"Two months later"

#{MFAP stands with Cooper}
#MFAP: Is it future? Or is it past? Do you know who I am?
# I am The Arm. And I sound like this... {Indian whooping noise}
#Cooper: {looking at table} Where is the ring?
#MFAP: Someone else has it now.
#Cooper: That would indicate that it's the future.
#MFAP: The later events have never been kept a secret.
#Cooper: Where am I? _And how can I leave?_
#MFAP: You are here and there is no place to go...
# {shouts} BUT HOME! {laughs uncontrollably}
# -- Nurse attends to Annie.
#Annie: My name is Annie. I've been with Laura and Dale. The good
# Dale is in the lodge and he can't leave. Write it in your diary.

# room and puts it on.

# the mirror and that it struck him as funny.
