Special Agent Dale Cooper : God help me, l don't know where to start.

Special Agent Dale Cooper : Gentlemen, two days ago a young woman was found murdered by the same individual I believe responsible for the death of Laura Palmer. I have reason to believe that the killer is in this room. As a member of the Bureau, I spend most of my time seeking simple answers to difficult questions. In the pursuit of Laura's killer, I have employed Bureau guidelines, deductive technique, Tibetan method, instinct, and luck. But now I find myself in need of something new, which, for lack of a better word, we shall call... magic.

FBI Agent Albert Rosenfield : I think it's going terrifically well. Don't you?

Leland Palmer : [in Bob's voice] Leland, Leland, you've been a good vehicle and I've enjoyed the ride. But now he's weak and full of holes. It's almost time to shuffle off to Buffalo!
Special Agent Dale Cooper : Does Leland know what you've done, Bob?

[first lines]
FBI Agent Albert Rosenfield : The short answer is, this is the work of the same ghoul who killed Laura. More fan mail: the letter 'O' under Maddy's ring fingernail. There were strands of fur clutched in her right hand.
Special Agent Dale Cooper : What kind of fur?
FBI Agent Albert Rosenfield : White fox. The strands were laced with formaldehyde. A dead animal, stuffed.
Sheriff Harry S. Truman : I'll make phone calls. Leland will know how to get ahold of Maddy's family.
Special Agent Dale Cooper : Harry, don't make any calls. I need 24 hours.
Sheriff Harry S. Truman : For what?
Special Agent Dale Cooper : To finish this.
