“Episode Twenty-Three” · Season 2, Episode 16

In this episode: Dale Cooper (2), Log Lady (1), Albert Rosenfield (1), Sheriff Harry S. Truman (1), Pete Martell (1), Norma Jennings (1)

[voiceover] A hotel. A nightstand. A drawer pull on the drawer. A drawer pull of a nightstand in the room of a hotel. What could possibly be happening on or in this drawer pull? How many drawer pulls exist in this world? Thousands, maybe millions. What is a drawer pull? This drawer pull -- why is it featured so prominently in a life or in a death of one woman who was caught in a web of power? Can a victim of power end in any way connected to a drawer pull? How can this be?

[Albert and Cooper are discussing whether to arrest Josie Packard.]

There's an epidemic of multiple gunshot wounds following this chick around. She is a menace.

I'll talk to her. Maybe she'll confess. Turn herself in.

[sarcastically] Maybe she'll grow wings and join the circus.

[Norma visits Hank in prison to ask him for a divorce. Hank tries to get Norma to lie to make up an alibi for him]

HJHank Jennings

[aggressively] Okay. Then there's the deal. You give me my alibi, and I give you your divorce.

I didn't come here to negotiate with you. This is it. It's over!

HJHank Jennings

Fine. Go ahead. You're his whore Norma.

I'd rather be his whore,... than your wife!

[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.

Now maybe he'll kill anyway. Maybe it'll just frustrate him.

I don't think so Harry. Earle has a perverse sense of honor about these things.

I'd never heard of a man who murdered by the rules.
