Quotes

Albert Rosenfield: I've performed the autopsy on Jacques Renault. Stomach contents revealed... let's see, beer cans, a Maryland licence plate, half a bicycle tire, a goat, and a small wooden puppet. Goes by the name of Pinocchio.
Dale Cooper: You're making a joke!
Albert Rosenfield: I like to think of myself as one of the happy generation.

User Reviews

'Is this real... or some strange and twisted dream'

The investigations continues apace as Cooper pays a visit to Ronette Pulaski in the hospital; she has a violent reaction when she sees a sketch of the mysterious Bob and Audrey Horne has a few questions for one of the clients at One Eyed Jacks about Laura. While there are advances in that case we still don't know what happened to Catherine Martell in the fire; the Horne brothers clearly believe she is dead but for now we can't know for sure although the fact that Shelly Johnson is alive suggests otherwise.

This second episode of season two continues in the slightly strange way one has come to expect; one notably strange early scene features director David Lynch's son Austin Jack Lynch as a boy who appears to have magical powers... and that is just the start of it later Major Briggs visits Cooper with something he thinks might be relevant... a possible message from space! Last season we knew little of Bob but it seems as if we are going to start learning more about him now; Leland recognises a sketch of Bob as somebody he knew as a child and Maddy has what appears to have been a vision of him in a particularly creepy scene.
