Scenes with Sheriff Harry S. Truman 18

JHJerry Horne

Sheriff... no offense, but, eh... clearly, this man's stairs do not reach the attic. Now, your 24 hours are up! You either charge my client or let him go!

Sheriff Truman

Ben Horne, I'm charging you with the murder of Laura Palmer.

Yeah. Good move, Jer!

[Pete, Sheriff Truman and Dale Cooper are thinking about the next move in the chess game against Windom Earle]

Okay. This is it. Guaranteed to cause some sleepless nights.

As long as he can't remove another piece from the board. [a piece removed would mean an additional killing]

He can't do it. Not at least for five, six more moves.

Sheriff Truman

[smiling] That should do it.

Harry, we're in trouble. If the door to the Black Lodge does exist, it probably exists at a point in time. Now, an object, such as a door, normally exists at a point in time and space. By way of contrast, a shooting star normally exists at a point in time over a continuum of space. But taken from the star's point of view, it's a completely different experience.

Harry Truman

You just lost me.

If we're not at the right place at exactly the right time, we won't find our way in.
