[Pete, Sheriff Truman and Dale Cooper are thinking about the next move in the chess game against Windom Earle]
Pete Martell
Okay. This is it. Guaranteed to cause some sleepless nights.
Dale Cooper
As long as he can't remove another piece from the board. [a piece removed would mean an additional killing]
Pete Martell
He can't do it. Not at least for five, six more moves.
Sheriff Truman
Now maybe he'll kill anyway. Maybe it'll just frustrate him.
Dale Cooper
I don't think so Harry. Earle has a perverse sense of honor about these things.
Sheriff Truman
I'd never heard of a man who murdered by the rules.
