Quotes 

• Albert Rosenfield : [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 Cooper : [to Sheriff Truman]  Albert's path is a strange and difficult one.

• Special Agent Dale Cooper : [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 Harry Truman : [perplexed]  You were visited... by a giant?

  Special Agent Dale Cooper : [nods yes] 

  FBI Agent Albert Rosenfield : Any relation to the dwarf?

• FBI Agent Albert Rosenfield : 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 Agent Dale Cooper : A man that four of us have seen here in Twin Peaks.

  FBI Agent Albert Rosenfield : [smiling]  Sure. Oh, by the way, you were shot with a Walther PPK. It's James Bond's gun, did you know that?

• Special Agent Dale Cooper : 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 Harry Truman : And Ronette.

  Special Agent Dale Cooper : She saw him physically at the train car.

  Sheriff Harry Truman : Right.

  Special Agent Dale Cooper : Four of us have seen him in different forms. This path is a psychic link that will lead us straight to him.

  Sheriff Harry Truman : So, what did this giant sound like? I mean, did he have a big, blooming voice or what?

  Special Agent Dale Cooper : No, no. He spoke softly, distinctly.

  FBI Agent Albert Rosenfield : And you gave him the beans you were supposed to use to buy a cow?

  Special Agent Dale Cooper : No, Albert, I gave him my ring.

• Dale Cooper : James, you're not gonna be charged with drug posession. The cocaine we found in your bike was planted. Probally by Leo Johnson.

  James Hurley : 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 Cooper : [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.
