FADE IN:

INT. LOG LADY’S CABIN - DAY

Seated at a dining table beside a tea set we see a woman, ‘LOG LADY’ MARGARET LANTERMEN. In her arms she carries a wooden log. She is speaking to us.

LOG LADY

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Yet there are those who open many eyes. Eyes are the mirror of the soul, someone has said. So we look closely at the eyes to see the nature of the soul. Sometimes when we see the eyes, those horrible times when we see the eyes, eyes that ... that have no soul. Then we know a darkness, then we wonder. Where is the beauty? There is none if the eyes are soulless.

CUT TO:

INT. DALE COOPER’S HOTEL ROOM - NIGHT

FBI SPECIAL AGENT DALE COOPER sits at the corner of his bed as he speaks somberly and gently to AUDREY HORNE, who is undressed and in his bed under the sheets.

COOPER

Audrey your a high school girl. I’m an agent of the FBI.

MUSIC: TWIN PEAKS THEME
AUDREY is teary eyed.

AUDREY

So do you want me to leave or what?

COOPER takes a deep breath as he ponders what to say.

COOPER

What I want and what I need are two different things Audrey.

COOPER takes another deep breath.

COOPER

When a man joins the bureau he takes an oath to uphold certain values. Values that he’s sworn to live by. This is wrong Audrey, we both know it.

AUDREY

But don’t you like me?

COOPER

I like you very much. Your beautiful, intelligent, desirable. Your everything a man wants in his life. But what you need right now, more then anything else, is a friend. Someone who will listen.

AUDREY wipes tears from her eyes. COOPER reaches into his pocket and pulls out a handkerchief for her.

AUDREY

Friends huh.

COOPER nods yes. AUDREY brightens with a smile. COOPER returns with a smile.

COOPER

Now I’m going to go down and get us two malts and some fries downstairs. Then I want you to tell me all your troubles.

AUDREY

That could take all night.

COOPER

The night is young.

COOPER stands up.

COOPER

Now I’m going to get the food ... and your going to get dressed.

AUDREY

I can’t tell you all my secrets.

COOPER

Secrets are dangerous things Audrey.

AUDREY

Do you have any?

COOPER

No.

AUDREY

Laura had a lot of secrets.

COOPER

Finding those out is my job.

AUDREY watches COOPER leave the room. COOPER closes the door behind himself. AUDREY breathes a sigh of relief.

EXT. TWIN PEAKS SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT - DAY

An establish shot. We view the front of building with SHERIFF TRUMAN’S police cruiser parked in the parking lot. Another police cruiser pulls into the station parking lot.

CUT TO:

INT. TWIN PEAKS SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT - DAY

DEPUTY ANDY BRENNAN slowly enters the building. ANDY peers to the reception window before he passes the second set of glass double doors, clears his throat and walks toward the reception window. LUCY MORAN, in the reception office, greets ANDY but tries not to look at him.

LUCY

Good morning Officer Brennan.

ANDY

I’d sure wish you’d stop calling me Officer Brennan.

LUCY

Officer Andy this is peak activity time at the station switchboard. So its really not convenient for me to talk right now.

The phone beside LUCY RINGS and, as a distraction, she quickly answers it.

LUCY

Twin Peaks Sheriff’s station. May I help you?

(reply)

One moment please.

LUCY puts her hand over the receiver and stares at ANDY. ANDY walks off. LUCY returns to the phone.

LUCY

Dr. Stonacheck. Yes its me.

(reply)

Oh.

(reply)

Ah-ha.

(reply)

Well thank you doctor.

(reply)

No, I’m fine.

(reply)

Bye.

LUCY hangs up the phone.

COOPER enters the building through the front doors, blowing his whittled WHISTLE.

COOPER

Mornin’ Lucy. I heard that you were out sick yesterday.

Depressed, LUCY doesn’t look up at COOPER as she answers.

LUCY

I’m much better today, thanks.

COOPER notices but doesn’t get involved. Politely, COOPEr simply nods.

COOPER

Good.

COOPER walks to the conference room.

CUT TO:

INT. TWIN PEAKS SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT - DAY

In the conference room, SHERIFF HARRY S. TRUMAN stands beside the table opposite a bird cage. DR. WILL HAYWARD stands at the end of the table bent over an encyclopedia. Near the table hanging from a stand is a bird cage with WALDO, the mynah bird, from JACQUES RENAULT’S cabin. AGENT COOPER walks into the room and stands near the window and the bird cage.

DR. HAYWARD

Alright I found it. Gracula Religiosa. Commonly known as the hill mynah. Native to Southeast Asia-Indonesia. Feeds on fruit mainly. Some invertebrates. Its ability to mimic the human voice is amazing.

SHERIFF TRUMAN

Yeah well so far we haven’t heard a peep.

SHERIFF TRUMAN walks to the bird cage.

SHERIFF TRUMAN

Hey Waldo what’s up.

DR. HAYWARD

Well it says here that mimicry is a kind of play with the mynah. But this one’s in a weakened condition; starved, dehydrated. I’d say he’s feeling anything but playful.

DR. HAYWARD picks up a grape.

DR. HAYWARD

Here ya’ go little fella.

DR. HAYWARD moves to feed the grape to WALDO but sees COOPER staring at the bird.

DR. HAYWARD

Oh, you wanna feed him Agent Cooper?

COOPER

I don’t like birds.

SHERIFF TRUMAN

When do you think he’ll start talking again?

DR. HAYWARD

Well, according to the book his urge to mimic should return with his good health.

COOPER

If it does then we got a witness.

DR. HAYWARD

Well we better keep feeding him.

DR. HAYWARD sourly looks at the grape and then turns to SHERIFF TRUMAN.

DR. HAYWARD

You got any apples?

SHERIFF TRUMAN

Yeah. There’s some at the bottom of the fridge.

DR. HAYWARD

These grapes are right on the edge.

DEPUTY TOMMY ‘THE HAWK’ HILL enters the room carrying a file.

HAWK

These just came in from your office.

HAWK hands the file to COOPER, who looks it over. COOPER moves over to SHERIFF TRUMAN.

COOPER

Hmm. Forensics confirms that Jacques Renault had three guests to his cabin; Laura Palmer, Ronette Pulaski and Leo Johnson.

COOPER looks at the back of a large photograph. The photograph is marked with a stamp as evidence. COOPER flips the photograph over to look at the image.

COOPER

This is the only exposed negative on that roll of film Harry. Look familiar?

COOPER hands the photo to SHERIFF TRUMAN. SHERIFF TRUMAN scans the photograph and smiles.

SHERIFF TRUMAN

That’s our Waldo.

COOPER

No Harry, the girl. That’s Laura.

SHERIFF TRUMAN gives a puzzled look and looks at the photograph again.

SHERIFF TRUMAN’S POV:

Through SHERIFF TRUMAN’S POV we view a CLOSE-UP of the photograph. The picture is of WALDO perched on the shoulder of a WOMAN with blonde hair.

BACK TO SCENE:

Unsure which end is up, SHERIFF TRUMAN turns the photograph around as he continues to look it over.

COOPER

Well, now we know who and when. We don’t know why.

COOPER stacks some books under the bird cage. COOPER then pulls his mini tape recorder out of his pocket and shows it to SHERIFF TRUMAN.

COOPER

Voice activated Harry.

With a CLICK, COOPER turns the mini recorder on.

COOPER

When the bird talks maybe we’ll get some answers.

MUSIC: FRESHLY SQUEEZED (0:26 - 3:48) (SLOW VARIANT)
COOPER places his mini tape recorder on the stack of books right below the bird cage. COOPER picks up a file from the folder and hands it to SHERIFF TRUMAN. Paper clipped to the file is a plastic bag containing the notched poker chip.

COOPER

Albert confirmed that this matches the fragment found in Laura’s stomach.

SHERIFF TRUMAN

Thousand dollar chip from One-Eyed Jacks.

HAWK

Jacques Renault’s working there. Dealing in the casino.

COOPER

Well, I think a little field work is in order.

SHERIFF TRUMAN

Jacks is over the border. A little out of our jurisdiction.

COOPER

Well I know that Harry. That’s why I was thinking this would be a good job for the Bookhouse Boys.

SHERIFF TRUMAN understands and smiles.

DISTANT POV:

MUSIC: DARK TIMES???

Through binocular sights from someone’s distant POV, BOBBY walks up to the house.

BACK TO SCENE:

In the woods a distance away from the house and from the open door of the passenger side of his truck, LEO JOHNSON watches BOBBY through a pair of binoculars. A radio in the truck is on and is tuned to the police band.

DEPUTY (OFF SCREEN)

Better call Hawk on that one.

LEO’S POV:

Through the binocular sights of LEO’S POV, BOBBY walks up to the front door of the house.

BOBBY

SHELLY JOHNSON opens the door. SHELLY and BOBBY embrace.

BACK TO SCENE:

Sitting in his truck, LEO puts the binoculars away.

LEO

Bobby Briggs.

LEO reaches for his rifle. LEO pulls his rifle out and aims it toward the house. Using his damaged arm to hold up the long end of the rifle, LEO peers through the rifle’s telescoping sight.

LEO’S POV:

Through LEO’S POV, BOBBY and SHELLY just barely walk inside the house.

SHELLY, wearing a robe, moves to the kitchen. BOBBY follows SHELLY into the kitchen.

SHELLY

I called you but your dad answered it. I didn’t know what to say.

BOBBY

Bobby’s here baby, Bobby’s here.

SHELLY uncontrollably starts to cry in fear.

SHELLY

(distraught)

I shot him Bobby. I know I did. He just screamed and screamed. He sounded like an animal.

BOBBY

He what? Slow down Shelly. Talk to me.

SHELLY

(distraught)

He’s out there ... and now he’s going to kill me. Bobby he’s going to kill me.

BOBBY stands in front and close to SHELLY.

BOBBY

Shelly. Shelly. Start over. Go real slow.

BOBBY cradles his hands around SHELLY’S neck and head.

SHELLY

Leo came home late last night. He was all beat up. He had blood all over him. I told him ... I was never ... ever gonna let him hurt me again but he came at me.

SHELLY becomes even more upset.

SHELLY

So I pulled the trigger. I shot him Bobby. What am I going to do? Where am I going to hide?

BOBBY

Shelly, Leo Johnson is history. Understand?

MUSIC: DARK TIMES???

BOBBY

I’m taking care of you from now on. I’m going to deal with Leo. I’m going to deal with James. Bobby’s going to deal with everything.

SHELLY kisses BOBBY. SHELLY rests her head on BOBBY’S chest. BOBBY cradles SHELLY’S head and gives an intense glare as he thinks.

CUT TO:

EXT. JOHNSON HOUSE - DAY

LEO sits in his truck with his rifle pointed at the house. LEO listens to the police band radio as he waits for BOBBY or SHELLY to exit. Over the police band on the radio, LUCY can be heard.

LUCY (OFF SCREEN)

Birdseed? No this bird eats fruit. The sheriff says its a witness.

Shocked, LEO looks at his radio.

LUCY (OFF SCREEN)

Naw, not just because it saw something, because it talks and it needs to be ...

LEO remembers the bird and immediately reacts. LEO puts his rifle away, closes the door, walks to the other side of the truck, enters and drives off.

MUSIC ENDS: DARK TIMES???

CUT TO:

INT. HAYWARD HOUSE - DAY

We FOCUS on a piano and a black vase. A CLICK from a depressed button is heard followed by the voice of LAURA PALMER from an audio tape. We PAN RIGHT to the dining room table where DONNA HAYWARD and MADELEINE FERGUSON are seated. On the table is a tape player. JAMES HURLEY paces the floor beside the table as he listens.

MUSIC: LAURA PALMER’S THEME
LAURA (FROM TAPE)

What’s up doc. Just a few words before I go to sleep. I feel like I’m going to dream tonight. Big bad ones, you know, the kind you like. Its easier talking into the recorder. I guess I feel I can say anything. All my secrets. The naked ones. I know you like those doc. I know you like me too. That’ll be my little secret okay. Just like your coconut. Why is it so easy to make men like me? And I don’t even have to try very hard. Maybe ... if it was harder ...

MUSIC ENDS: LAURA PALMER’S THEME
JAMES stops the tape. MADELEINE picks up an empty cassette case from a shoe box beside her.

MADELEINE

This one’s empty.

MADELEINE hands the empty case to JAMES. JAMES reads the label on the empty case.

JAMES

February 23. The night Laura died.

JAMES hands the empty case back to MADELEINE. DONNA looks in the shoe box for an unboxed tape cassette.

DONNA

The tape’s not in there.

JAMES

He must still have it. I mean she died, he never returned it.

MADELEINE

God, do you think Dr. Jacoby killed her?

JAMES

We’re going to find that tape. Tonight.

DONNA

Where?

JAMES

Jacoby’s office.

MADELEINE

What if he’s there.

JAMES

We’ll get him out.

DONNA

How?

JAMES

Maybe he gets a phone call. From Laura.

JAMES rewinds the tape and then pushes the play button. Again we hear LAURA’S voice from the tape player.

LAURA

What’s up doc?

INT. HORNE’S DEPARTMENT STORE - DAY

Standing behind the perfume counter, AUDREY handles a CUSTOMER.

AUDREY

Here try this. It smells like a forest.

AUDREY hands the CUSTOMER a bottle of perfume to smell.

CUSTOMER

This won’t do. I want something more fruity.

AUDREY

Fruity.

CUSTOMER

As in fruit.

MR. EMORY BATTIS, the store vice-president, walks up to the perfume counter and talks to JENNY, a salesgirl working with AUDREY. AUDREY searches for another fragrance for the CUSTOMER but, standing near JENNY, is more interested in listening in on JENNY’S and BATTIS’S discussion.

EMORY

Could I see you in my office in five minutes?

JENNY

Sure.

EMORY walks off.

CUSTOMER

I’m not making myself clear. I want a scent that makes a statement.

AUDREY

Maybe you should try hanging it around your neck. Its a perfume, its a fashion accessory. Two statements for the price of one.

CUSTOMER

I don’t appreciate your attitude.

The CUSTOMER walks away.

AUDREY

(playfully)

Well thank you for shopping Horne’s Department Store.

AUDREY walks over to JENNY.

AUDREY

I’m gonna use the little girl’s room.

JENNY

Okay.

AUDREY walks off.

CUT TO:

INT. HORNE’S DEPARTMENT STORE - DAY

Outside EMORY’S office, AUDREY tries to sneak inside the empty office but a STOCK BOY is moving boxes on a shelf nearby. In her mischievous way, AUDREY leans against the shelves and tells a lie to rid the STOCK BOY.

AUDREY

You know there’s a real bad accident outside. Sounded like a bus or something.

The STOCK BOY silently heads out to take a look. AUDREY grins and enters EMORY’S office.

CUT TO:

INT. EMORY’S OFFICE - DAY

AUDREY opens a cigarette case, helps herself to one of EMORY’S cigarettes and lights it up. AUDREY opens one of EMORY’S desk drawers but hears EMORY in the hall and calmly moves to a closet, steps inside and closes the door. The closet door has a window shutter-like screen made of thin horizontal wood slats allowing AUDREY to see into the office.

EMORY

Right this way Jen. ... got something really special about ...

AUDREY’S POV:

Through AUDREY’S POV from the closet, EMORY and JENNY enter the office.

EMORY

Come right in. My, my you look lovely. Sit, sit.

JENNY

Thank you Mr. Battis.

MUSIC ENDS: FRESHLY SQUEEZED (0:26- 3:48)

EMORY

This is for you Jenny. A reward for a job well done.

EMORY hands JENNY a small present. JENNY unwraps the present, opens the box and removes the wrapping tissue to reveal a small glass unicorn.

EMORY

Its a unicorn, ancient symbol of purity. Tamed only by the young at heart.

JENNY

Wow, a unicorn.

EMORY

Jenny, you had a good time at the club last week didn’t you?

JENNY

Yeah, yeah I had a great time, Mr. Battis.

EMORY

They were very pleased with you as well, I must say. They’d like you to continue and believe me Jenny not many girls qualify.

JENNY

Really?

EMORY

Yes. Now the variety of work is completely up to you. Hostess, cocktail waitress or, if you are chosen, hospitality girl.

JENNY

What’s that?

MUSIC: FRESHLY SQUEEZED (0:26- 3:48)

EMORY

Hospitality girl’s escort ... important guests, VIP’s. It’s a lucrative opportunity Jenny. Tending to wealthy men in need of a little company.

BACK TO SCENE:

In the closet, AUDREY smiles to herself at hearing EMORY’S definition of the job.

AUDREY’S POV:

JENNY

That sounds cool as long as their wealthy.

EMORY

Jenny, your attitude will take you far in this life.

EMORY hands JENNY a business card.

EMORY

Call this number. Ask for Black Rose. Now why don’t we make a trip to evening wear and find you something elegant.

JENNY

Elegant sounds great Mr. Battis. Elegant.

EMORY escorts JENNY out of the office.

BACK TO SCENE:

AUDREY drops her cigarette to the floor, puts it out by stepping on it, exits the closet and walks over to EMORY’S desk. AUDREY picks up a small black book laying on top of the desk. AUDREY opens the book and flips through the pages. The pages list several different names of women. Beside each name are hearts that rank each girl. On one page AUDREY finds the name of:

AUDREY

Ronette Pulaski.

AUDREY puts the book back. Before she leaves, AUDREY picks up the glass unicorn that JENNY left on the desk.

MUSIC: COUNTRY #4

NORMA JENNINGS steps halfway past the door from the kitchen. NORMA stops as she sees her husband HANK JENNINGS, holding a pot of coffee, talking to SHELLY. A country tune plays on the jukebox.

HANK

When your in prison you remember faces from home. They all seem like friends somehow. Even the ones you barely knew, like something to hang on to I guess.

SHELLY hands a customer their order of a cherry pie.

SHELLY

It must have been hard on you.

HANK

I paid my debt. That’s what counts. You know your a really big help around here and I want to thank you for that. For getting Norma through.

NORMA steps back into the kitchen.

SHELLY

Your welcome Hank.

SHELLY pats HANK’S arm.

SHELLY

No problem.

HANK

She told me in her letters how much you meant and how much Pete helped uh ...

SHELLY fetches a cup of coffee for a customer.

SHELLY

Who?

HANK

Uh ... yeah ... no, not Pete uh ...

SHELLY

Oh you mean Ed.

HANK

Yeah Big Ed.

SHELLY

Yeah.

HANK

Yeah, I’m a little better at faces then names I guess.

The COOK rings the service bell and SHELLY moves off to pick up the order.

HANK

(sinisterly)

Yeah, Big Ed.

HANK looks down at the counter where he sees a lighter someone had left behind their plate of food. With his shifty eyes, HANK glances around, casually moves his hand, picks up the lighter and puts it in his back pocket. HANK then moves the dirty plates to a bin.

At the front door, SHERIFF TRUMAN and AGENT COOPER enter the diner. SHERIFF TRUMAN spots HANK.

SHERIFF TRUMAN

Hello Hank.

HANK

Hi Harry. Glad to see me?

HANK moves up the island counter towards SHERIFF TRUMAN.

HANK

(jokingly)

You uh ... you lookin’ for a free lunch ... I recommend the meatloaf.

SHERIFF TRUMAN

Save it. I’m looking for you.

HANK

Harry?

HANK jokingly puts up both of his hands.

HANK

I’m innocent.

SHERIFF TRUMAN

What you are is on parole Hank.

SHELLY watches and listens to SHERIFF TRUMAN.

SHERIFF TRUMAN

That means pay your case officer a visit once a week, Fridays. You miss a visit. You go to jail.

MUSIC ENDS: COUNTRY #4

HANK

Thanks for the reminder sheriff. Stop in any time.

HANK stares at SHERIFF TRUMAN and then walks away.

SHERIFF TRUMAN

You think people ever change Cooper? I don’t.

SHELLY walks up to them.

SHELLY

Oh, afternoon guys. Would you like some coffee?

COOPER smiles brightly.

COOPER

Afternoon Shelly, yes.

SHERIFF TRUMAN

We should be on our way.

SHELLY moves to the coffee dispenser. COOPER and SHERIFF TRUMAN are still standing by the counter as they talk.

COOPER

Harry, I’m going to let you in on a little secret. Everyday, once a day, give yourself a present. Don’t plan it, don’t wait for it, just let it happen.

SHELLY places two cups of coffee on the counter near them.

COOPER

It could be a new shirt at the men store, a catnap in your office chair or ...

COOPER gestures to the cups of coffee on the counter before them.

COOPER

... two cups of good hot black coffee. Like this.

COOPER wears a large grin. SHERIFF TRUMAN grins back.

SHERIFF TRUMAN

A present? Like Christmas?

COOPER nods yes. COOPER and SHERIFF TRUMAN both move to the counter and take a seat where their coffee has been placed. COOPER grabs his cup and takes a sip. SHERIFF TRUMAN watches COOPER.

COOPER

Ahh man that hits the spot.

SHERIFF TRUMAN grins at COOPER’S reaction. SHERIFF TRUMAN hasn’t touched his cup yet. COOPER slides it over to him.

COOPER

Nothing like a great cup of black coffee.

AUDREY

AUDREY shows JENNY the small glass unicorn she had swiped earlier.

JENNY

AUDREY LAUGHS.

AUDREY

Ditto. I bet he’s got cartons of them.

JENNY

He probably does.

AUDREY

Jenny I did a real dumb thing um I lost that number that he gave me for Black Rose. Do you have it?

A little unsure, JENNY pauses before she retrieves the card.

JENNY

Yeah, I got it.

AUDREY

Great.

JENNY hands the card to AUDREY, who copies the number down.

AUDREY

Thanks.

JENNY

Okay, I talk to you later.

BIG ED

Come on honey its not that bad.

NADINE

You don’t know how bad it is. You don’t know all the things I was going to do ... for us.

BIG ED

PETE

I just got that baby back from Tim and Tom’s Taxidermy. When I caught him he was this big.

(waves his hand above the side of the fish to show it original thickness)

But I guess by the time they take the innards out and put the stuffing in ... it uh ... loses something in the translation.

SHERIFF TRUMAN

Yeah well Pete it still a fine looking trophy. No matter what the size.

PETE

(chuckle)

Well size isn’t everything I guess.

PETE walks away carrying his trophy. JOSIE enters and walks up to SHERIFF TRUMAN.

JOSIE

Harry, I didn’t expect you to be here.

I’m late for the mill but I’ll make time for us.

What’s wrong?

SHERIFF TRUMAN

What were you doing at the Timber Falls Motel, Tuesday?

JOSIE

Oh,

Tuesday I was at the mill.

SHERIFF TRUMAN

Hawk saw you. I know you were there.

JOSIE

Oh, Harry.

SHERIFF TRUMAN

You can tell me anything. Josie, you can tell me anything.

JOSIE

I was there ... because ... Ben and Catherine were there together. I followed them and I took pictures.

She opens her purse, pulls out some pictures and shows them to him. The pictures are of BENJAMIN HORNE and CATHERINE MARTELL entering a room together at the motel.

You asked me for proof last time ... and I followed them and I took pictures.

The other night I heard Catherine talking on the phone. Something about an accident, a fire. A fire at the mill. A fire at Andrew’s mill. My mill. I’m not going to let this happen. No.

BIG ED leaves.

COOPER

Yeah Harry, what’s on your mind?

COOPER and TRUMAN lean against the bar as they talk.

SHERIFF TRUMAN

I’m worried about Josie. She’s been real afraid.

COOPER

About what?

SHERIFF TRUMAN

Ben Horne and Catherine Martell. Now they’ve been seeing each other on the side, its been going on for years.

MUSIC: LOVE THEME FROM TWIN PEAKS

SHERIFF TRUMAN

Josie just found out. She thinks their planning to burn down the saw mill and somehow get rid of her too.

COOPER

Do you believe her?

SHERIFF TRUMAN

I know Ben Horne wants that land for the Ghostwood development and I know Josie won’t sell. Yeah. Yeah, I believe her.

COOPER

How much do you know about her? Where she’s from, who she was before?

SHERIFF TRUMAN

Whatta ya’ getting at?

COOPER

The truth Harry. That’s my job.

SHERIFF TRUMAN

I know all I need to know. I love her and she’s in trouble.

COOPER

That’s good enough for me. Let’s look into it.

SHERIFF TRUMAN

Thanks.

TRUMAN pats COOPER’S arm, puts his cup of coffee down and picks up his hat. The two walk away from the bar.

COOPER

Is Hawk ready?

Yes, its still urgent.

She hangs up the phone.

We see CATHERINE walking with MR. NEV, an insurance salesman, toward the dining room.

MR. NEV

I’m glad you agreed to see me Mrs. Martell.

CATHERINE

That’s quite alright.

MR. NEV

Normally I’d never think to compose this late.

CATHERINE

That’s fine. Now what’s this about?

MR. NEV

Every agent is instructed five signatures. Its really the first thing we learn and ... somehow ... we missed one.

He places his briefcase on the table and opens it.

CATHERINE

Now refresh my memory. What policy is this?

He pulls out an expanding folder from his briefcase and takes out a document.

MR. NEV

Your new life insurance. Since the binder takes effect at midnight tonight I really had no choice. You see, it just couldn’t wait until tomorrow.

He pulls a pen from his shirt pocket, clicks out the pen tip, marks an ‘X’ by the line for her to sign by and hands her the pen.

MR. NEV

Right here please.

CATHERINE takes a seat as she looks over the document.

MR. NEV

Is everything in order Mrs. Martell?

CATHERINE

Yes, it just that ...

CATHERINE

This was handled without our actually meeting each other and I ... I almost forgotten.

MR. NEV

To be perfectly honest with you Mrs. Martell I withheld that last page myself.

CATHERINE

Did you?

MR. NEV

I have to admit I thought it a little ... unusual. Life insurance when the client is too busy ... to be involved.

(smiling)

I mean, you did know about this policy didn’t you?

CATHERINE

Are you suggesting that there’s something ... irregular at work here?

MR. NEV

I certainly never got that idea from Mrs. Packard, no. Or from Mr. Horne for that matter either. When he offered to collect your signatures I thought it was fine. Just with a new account, I like to be certain to

(gestures with the pen as if to cross a ‘T’)

cross every ‘T’.

Again he shows her where to sign on the document.

MR. NEV

Right here please.

CATHERINE

You know, I’m noticing that there’s some ... minor changes that I asked my attorney to make that are not included in this draft. I think what I’d like to do is go over this with him on the phone in the morning, and initial the changes and get the completed documents to you at that time.

MR. NEV

If there’s anything that I can do to help you ... with the policy or anything at all?

CATHERINE

(staring at him with a straight face)

Are you an ambitious man Mr. Nev.

MR. NEV

One likes to think so.

CATHERINE

One never knows. There may be a few ‘T’s left to cross. Good night.

MR. NEV

Mrs. Martell.

(closes his briefcase)

I’ll see myself out.

He walks away and out.

BIG ED opens a briefcase laying on the table. Inside the briefcase we see several moustaches and wigs.

BIG ED

Wow, look at all this.

We PAN to see AGENT COOPER and HAWK. COOPER lets out an ‘ouch’ as HAWK applies tape to a microphone wire on his upper left arm.

HAWK

Sorry.

We ZOOM out to see them all.

COOPER

There’s a curly haired wig in there Ed. It’s gonna work like gangbusters ... and I’ll help you out with one of those moustaches.

BIG ED

Think it’ll fit? I’ve got a big head.

HAWK finishes installing COOPER microphone.

HAWK

Okay, give it a try.

BIG ED moves the curly wig to his head to try it on. COOPER rolls his long sleeve shirt down, lifts his wrist near to his mouth and says ...

COOPER

The speaker from the receiver duplicates what he says but ends with a very loud swoop of distortion from over amplification. COOPER grabs his wrist and all remain silent.

With their guns drawn, SHERIFF TRUMAN and AGENT COOPER meet in the hallway near the door to the conference room. They enter the conference room and lower their guns as they see what was shot, WALDO. DEPUTY HAWK, DEPUTY ANDY, BIG ED and LUCY follow behind them.

BIG ED

What happened?

SHERIFF TRUMAN

Somebody shot Waldo. Ah geez.

ANDY

Poor Waldo.

COOPER picks up his mini tape recorder that was set to automatically record on voice activation. He rewinds the tape a bit and plays it. From the tape recorder we hear ...

BIG ED

What happened?

SHERIFF TRUMAN

Somebody shot Waldo.

COOPER stops the tape, rewinds it some more and hits play. We hear ...

LUCY

Birdie birdie birdie. Want some orange? Come on lets share.

LUCY, standing by the window with ANDY, looks away slightly embarrassed. Again COOPER stops the tape, rewinds it and hits play. This time we hear ...

COOPER and BIG ED return the stare as she walks by.

COOPER

Ah, I’ve got a Chevy parked out back with a serious root canal problem. Wanna take a look?

Uh-huh. Yeah. So, what’s the catch?

BEN and JERRY are now both spooning out ice cream from the same tub.

JERRY

AUDREY lifts the cherry to her mouth, bites the cherry off and eats it while still holding onto the cherry stem. Next, she puts the cherry stem into her mouth. Her eyes roll and her lips squirm as she contorts her tongue into weaving the cherry stem into a knot. Finished, she pulls out the knotted stem and places it on the napkin the drink was on. BLACKIE interest has been piqued. She bends forward to take a closer look, sits back and pulls out a document and pen from one of her desk drawers.
