Cooper you may be fearless in this world, but there are other worlds.
S2 E11Episode Eighteen
DON'T LET'EM RATTLE YOU, COOP. THESE GUYS MAKE A LIVING LOOKING THROUGH OTHER PEOPLE'S DRAWERS. MAY A SMILE BE YOUR UMBRELLA. WE'VE ALL HAD OUR SOCKS TOSSED AROUND. CATCH YOU LATER.
Understand we're both staying at the Great Northern. How's the food up there?
Denise, you're in for a real surprise.
[to himself] So are they.
JHJames Hurley
I guess I'm not so interested in how my bike looks as in where it can take me.
EMEvelyn Marsh
Where do you wanna go?
JHJames Hurley
It's not really a place its a feeling. Sometimes riding at night, I punch off the headlights and roll the throttle in just rocket blind into the dark.
S2 E12Episode Nineteen
[voiceover] Is a dog man's best friend? I had a dog. The dog was large. It ate my garden, all the plants, and much earth. The dog ate so much earth it died. Its body went back to the earth. I have a memory of this dog. The memory is all that I have left of my dog. He was black -- and white.
[Dale Cooper and a real-estate agent arrive at a decrepit-looking house that Cooper is interested in buying]
REReal-estate agent
Well, it's still standing, almost by force of habit.
A little habit can provide a strong foundation.
[Agent Bryson asks admiringly after the departing Audrey Horne.]
Denise, I would assume you're no longer interested in girls.
Coop, I may be wearing a dress, but I still pull my panties on one leg at a time if you know what I mean.
Not really.
CRColonel Riley
Garland Briggs is the best pilot I've ever known. He was born with hardware most of us only dream of having. He's been walking point on this operation for three years, carrying a full pack. I'll tell you this: his disappearance has implications that go so far beyond national security the cold war seems like a case of the sniffles.
S2 E13Episode Twenty
[voiceover] My husband died in a fire. No one can know my sorrow. My love is gone. Yet, I feel him near me. Sometimes I can almost see him. At night when the wind blows, I think of what he might have been. Again I wonder: why? When I see a fire, I feel my anger rising. This was not a friendly fire. This was not a forest fire. It was a fire in the woods. This is all I am permitted to say.

Before you came here, Twin Peaks was a simple place. My brothers sold drugs to truck-drivers and teenagers. One-Eyed Jack's welcomed curious tourists and businessmen. Quiet people lived quiet lives. Then a pretty girl dies. And you arrive. Everything changes. My brother Bernard is shot and left to die in the woods. A grieving father smothers my surviving brother with a pillow. Arson, kidnapping. More death and destruction. Suddenly the quiet people here are no longer quiet. Their simple dreams have become a nightmare. Maybe you brought the nightmare with you. And maybe, it will die with you.
S2 E14Episode Twenty-One
[voiceover] The heart -- it is a physical organ, we all know. But how much more an emotional organ -- this we also know. Love, like blood, flows from the heart. Are blood and love related? Does a heart pump blood as it pumps love? Is love the blood of the universe?
Windom Earle's mind is like a diamond. It's cold, and hard, and brilliant.
[Twin Peaks Mayor Dwayne Milford is holding Dr. Jacoby, Lana Budding Milford, Dale Cooper and the sheriff at gunpoint. He holds Lana responsible for the death of his brother, Dougie Milford]
Fellas, I've got an idea. Why don't we let Lana and the mayor talk things over together. Alone.
MMayor
I don't wanna talk. I wanna shoot.
Now Dwayne you can always shoot later. Talk first.
S2 E15Episode Twenty-Two
[voiceover] A death mask. Is there a reason for a death mask? It is barely a physical resemblance -- in death, the muscles so relaxed, the face so without the animating spark. A death mask is almost an intrusion on a beautiful memory. And yet, who could throw away the casting of a loved one? Who would not want to study it longingly, as the distant freight train blows its mournful tone?
I owe it all to the immortal Master: José Raúl Capablanca. If there's chessboards in heaven, you'll find Jose sittin' across from the Lord.
