BONZAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
"The only thing that Columbus discovered was that he was lost"
Sheriff Truman's best moment...
Cooper: Harry, I think we’re saddling the horse before we’re ready to ride.
Truman: I don’t follow.
Cooper: I don’t think Ben Horne killed Laura Palmer.
Truman: What?
Cooper: You should release him.
Truman: Cooper, I’ve backed you every step of the way but I’ve had enough of the mumbo-jumbo. I’ve had enough of the dreams, the visions, the dwarfs, the giants, Tibet and the rest of the hocus-pocus. Now we’ve got hard evidence against Ben Horne and it’s my job to lock him up.
These same geese were flying...
These woods are lovely, dark and deep...
The over-explicitness of the catching fish-metaphor dialogue makes it funny. I can't remember all the metaphors but here are some samples...
Cooper starts it all when he goes fishing at One eyed Jack's: "I have a trout on the line. This one's a keeper."
"Hold the line, we'll set the hook."
"Bla bla bla... as soon as the big fish shows it's fins."
There are more, I just can't remember them all...
(RE: Cooper) ...but he'll be there when we grill him!
Ed: I don't believe in fate. You make your bed. You sleep in it.
"What credit card do you want to put that on?"
"Caash, prease."
Jean Renault- She dreams of dark lake beds and tangled weeds, I love that one.

Good call, TheFalls.
The only part of the alternate pilot ending (outside of the Red Room) that I really like:
Make a wish.
"Your dead are soon forgotten and never return. Our dead never forget the
beautiful world that gave them being. They still love its verdant valleys,
its murmering rivers, its majestic mountains. When the last red man has
vanished from this earth these forests and shores will still hold their
spirits. For the Indians love the earth as a newborn loves its mother's
heartbeat. Why have we all lost touch with this beauty? Maybe saving a
forest starts with preserving some of the feelings that die inside us
everyday. Those parts of ourselves that we deny. For if we cannot respect
that interior land then neither can we respect the land we walk. So let us
in walking gently upon the earth leave behind a simple legacy that we are
new warriors, mystic warriors who love the earth and try to save it."
The question is, Where have you gone?
Good call, TheFalls.

What is the alternate pilot ending like? 'Cos it seems like it would be a bit tacked on if they suddenly revealed the killer.
And, what is Helvetica?
It's totally tacked on, you're correct. And the Red Room stuff gives a very different impression than it does in the series, in my view.
Helvetica is the secret weapon with which Booth and I killed the fake album covers thread.
I've always loved the phrase "The usual bumper crop of rural know-nothings and drunken fly-fishermen."

"Caash, prease."
On each new viewing of Twin Peaks, I notice the writing is so razor sharp, there is nothing that comes on TV in the same realm as this beautiful abstraction of a show.
"Harry, I'm going to let you in on a little secret. Every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Don't plan it, don't wait for it, just let it happen. Could be a new shirt at the men's store, a catnap in your office chair, or two cups of good, hot, black coffee. Like this." -Dale Cooper
It's usual in cases of strangulation for the victim to void his bowels.
That one was also posted in the cringe-worthy quotes thread.
"What credit card do you want to put that on?"

I've always loved the way Laura says "Uh-oh, here comes mom with milk and cookies" on Jacoby's tape.
Also, the way Leo shouts "YOU BROKE MY HEART!" when he's about to kill Shelly and torch the mill is so deliciously ridiculous. Eric DaRe was very good at balancing the menacing and the laughable parts of Leo.

I totally agree - never more so than in his scene with Shelley in FWWM. "First, you're gonna learn to have a good attitude! That's the key! Anybody'll tell you that!"
Has he taken his eyes off it yet?
Haha, "ANYBODY will tell you that!" is another piece of DaRe greatness. Like people are going to line up across the block to support Leo Johnson's views on marriage.

Harry. Your alright.
and....
Coop! What happend to Josie? (I ask myself that question every other day)
Albert:
"Agent Cooper, I am thrilled to pieces that the Dharma came to King Ho Ho Ho, I really am, but right now I’m trying hard to focus on the more immediate problems of our own century right here in Twin Peaks"
"Has anyone seen Bob on earth in the last few weeks?"
For me, Coop's answer is even better. "No, not yet."
Speaking of deliciously ridiculous: "He is BOB, eager for fun. He wears a smile, everybody run." Of all the actors in the known universe, Al Strobel is the only one who could actually inject these lines with some gravitas.

In the last episode when possesed Cooper squeeze out all the toothpaste I always think of Mike saying "He is Bob, eager for fun..."

This may not be a quote, but for me one of the funniest moments of season 1 is when Shelly turns off the TV after the narrator says "and each week brings a promise of an INVITATION TO LOVE." Shelly says "yeah, right," and it cuts to this absolutely ridiculous photo of Eric DaRe doing Leo Johnson's straight face. It just makes the house look gaudier and the scene look more like a soap opera, I love it.

That is if emptying a perfectly good tube of toothpaste is your idea of a good time.
