The Best Twin Peaks, Season 2, Episode 3 Quotes

Harold: Laura liked to think of me as... a mystery in her life.

Special: [very serious] Fellas, let's stand together for a moment. It's time I mentioned something. Now, I'm not sure, but I believe I was visited by a giant. Twice. In my room. He left me three clues. The first had to do with Jacques Renault in a body bag. It came true almost immediately. The second was, "The owls are not what they seem." The third was about a man who points without chemicals.
Sheriff: [perplexed] You were visited... by a giant?
Special: [nods yes]
FBI: Any relation to the dwarf?

- Mr. Gerard, you okay?
- Oh. I'm sorry.
- Sometimes I get a bit disoriented.
- Can I get you something? Water?
- If there's a bathroom,
- I have a medication.
- Sure. It's right down the hall.
- This way.

Donna: How long did you know Laura?
Harold: Ever since she began "Meals on Wheels". I was her best customer.
Donna: You don't seem much like a shut-in.
Harold: You mean, politely, what's the matter with me?
Donna: Okay.
Harold: I don't like to go outside. I... can't.

- What's going on?
- Smells like insurance money.
- Shelly didn't dream this up herself.

- I don't know.
- I don't know anything anymore.
- Sometimes I think I should just get on my bike and go.
- James.
- Running away won't solve anything.

Maddy: All I did was to come to a funeral. And it's like I fell into a dream. It's like people think I'm Laura. And I'm not!

- Cover her arms.
- Nurse: Miss pulaski, calm down now.
- It's okay. It's gonna be all right.

- No, thank you.

- Doc hayward says tonsillitis or no tonsillitis,

Harold: [to Donna] Laura wanted me to get in touch with you if anything ever happened to her.

- English caramels.
- Sugar's what you need.
- Please...
- Go slow, baby.
- Candy's dandy, huh?
- Plenty more where that came from.
- My name is Jean.

Albert: [to Sheriff Truman] Now you listen to me. While I will admit to a certain cynicism, the fact is that I am a naysayer and hatchetman 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.
[he leaves the room]
Dale: [to Sheriff Truman] Albert's path is a strange and difficult one.

- That's good, Emory.
- She's ready for her close-up now.

Dale: James, you're not gonna be charged with drug posession. The cocaine we found in your bike was planted. Probally by Leo Johnson.
James: I was trying to tell you that when you arrested me. But I still don't think Leo planted it or called you at the station that night. I think Mike and Bobby did. They're the ones you should be...
Dale: [cutting him off] James! I don't want to see you down here at the station again. Stop trying to figure it out all by yourself. Find someone to talk to. Talk to me. Now go on home, James. Leave the case to me.

- Bob...
- I know you're near.
- I'm after you now.

- Take it, please.
- My last gift to Laura.
- That's very kind of you, Mr. Smith.
- She was very kind to me.
- Forgive me, but I know so much about you, you see.
- What?
- You're every bit as lovely as Laura said you were.

- Pearl lakes.
- Leland?
- The door was open.
- Leland...
- What is it?
- Leland, you're under arrest for the murder of Jacques Renault.

Lucy: It's been 6 weeks Dick, you'd said were gonna call.
Dick: I know. I lost your phone number.
Lucy: I work for the Sheriff, you could'a dialed 9-1-1.
Dick: Oh Lucy, I do apologize, I been so terribly busy. Honestly, I barely have the time to feed my cat.

- What's going on?
- "Without chemicals, he points."
- The giant's third clue.
- Harry, we've got to find the one-armed man.

- Leland, thank you.
- That's valuable information. Thanks.
- Cooper: Thank you, Leland.
- Oh... something else.
- He used to flick matches at me.
- He'd say: "You wanna play with fire, little boy?"

- Almost like a dog barking.
- Jacques stops moving.
- I look up to see who's holding the pillow.
- Who is it?
- Do you see who it is?
- I know him.

Donna: As much as I love you, Laura, most of the time we were trying to solve your problems. And you know what? We still are. Not mine or James' or Maddy's. Yours. You're dead Laura, but your problems keep hanging around!

- That's why it's so warm in here.
- They don't need a lot of light.
- I wrote to you because I wondered if you'd be kind enough to place one of them on her grave.
- Of course.
- Will you excuse me a moment?
- Sure.

- Really? What's wrong with him?
- You know, it's hard to say.
- Other than he was bright and charming, intelligent.
- Completely unlike anybody I know.
- What's that supposed to mean?
- Why don't you sit here and hold hands and try to figure it out.

Special: R, B, T. Harry, I believe that these letters and the Giant's clues are in some way related to this long-haired man. Mrs. Palmer saw him in a vision. She called this morning to say that Maddy had seen the man twice in the past two days, both times in a vision. I've seen him in my dreams.
Sheriff: And Ronette.
Special: She saw him physically at the train car.
Sheriff: Right.
Special: Four of us have seen him in different forms. This path is a psychic link that will lead us straight to him.
Sheriff: So, what did this giant sound like? I mean, did he have a big, blooming voice or what?
Special: No, no. He spoke softly, distinctly.
FBI: And you gave him the beans you were supposed to use to buy a cow?
Special: No, Albert, I gave him my ring.

- Shoe salesman?
- The one-armed man?
- He came in to show me some samples.
- The one-armed man was here?
- Yeah, he got faint and had to go to the bathroom.
- Never came back.
- Harry, remember in my dream?
- The one-armed man knew Bob.

- I lost my true lover a-courtin' too slow courting's a pleasure parting's a grief a false-hearted lover is worse than a thief

Blackie: [about Audrey] She's ready for her close-up now.

Mike: Bob... I know you're near... I'm after you now.

Benjamin: Agent Cooper. Let me give you the best advice that you're gonna get all week. Men fall under the spell of Audrey's charms like ducks in a shooting gallery.

FBI: We sent a portrait of your long-haired man to every agency from NASA to DEA and came up empty. This cat is in nobody's database.
Special: A man that four of us have seen here in Twin Peaks.
FBI: [smiling] Sure. Oh, by the way, you were shot with a Walther PPK. It's James Bond's gun, did you know that?

Donna: I'll be back.
Harold: I'll be here.

- She came home.
- Who?
- My mom was all loaded.
- She was all screwed up.
- God, I hate her.
- James, no.
- God, you're on fire.
