Laura Palmer: Hey, Jacques.
Jacques Renault: I'm not Jacques. I am the Great Went.
Laura Palmer: I am the Muffin.
Jacques Renault: And what a muffin you got.

Man from Another Place: Do you know who I am? I am the arm, and I sound like this...
[makes whooping sounds]

Laura Palmer: My secret diary... there are pages missing.
Harold Smith: Who would do that?
Laura Palmer: Bob.
Harold Smith: But, Bob is not real.
Laura Palmer: There are pages torn out! That is real, Harold!
Harold Smith: Okay, okay, maybe...
Laura Palmer: Bob is real! He's been having me since I was 12. And, the diary was hidden too well. There is no other person who could have known where it was. He comes in through my window at night. He's real. He's getting to know me now. He speaks to me.
Harold Smith: What does Bob say?
Laura Palmer: He says he wants to be me or he'll kill me.
Harold Smith: No. No.
Laura Palmer: Yes! Yes.
Harold Smith: What? Please, what?
Laura Palmer: Fire... walk... with... me. Me!

Donna Hayward: [to Laura] If I had a nickel for every cigarette your mom smoked, I'd be dead.
-
Phillip Jeffries: It was a dream! We live inside a dream!
-
Sam Stanley: That really was something with the dancing girl, wasn't it? What exactly did all that mean?
Special Agent Chester Desmond: I'll explain it to you. Remember Lil's wearin' a sour face.
Sam Stanley: What do you mean?
Special Agent Chester Desmond: Her face had a sour look on it.
-
Sam Stanley: You know, Agent Desmond, I figure this whole office, furniture included, is worth $27,000.
-
Sam Stanley: Nine's really late. We're really early.
-
Phillip Jeffries: Well now, I'm not gonna talk about Judy. In fact, we're not gonna talk about Judy at all, we're gonna keep her out of it.
Special Agent Dale Cooper: [bewildered] Gordon?
Gordon Cole: I KNOW, COOP!
Phillip Jeffries: Who do you think this is there?
Albert Rosenfeld: Suffered some bumps on the old noggin, hey, Phil?
Gordon Cole: WHAT THE HELL DID HE SAY THERE, ALBERT? THAT'S SPECIAL AGENT DALE COOPER! FOR GOD'S SAKES, JEFFRIES, WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN? YOU'VE BEEN GONE DAMN NEAR TWO YEARS!
Phillip Jeffries: The stories that I wanna tell you about...
-
Special Agent Dale Cooper: HE'S GONE! HE'S GONE! ALBERT, CALL THE FRONT DESK!
Albert Rosenfeld: I've got the front desk now. He was never here.
-
Carl Rodd: Goddamn, these people are confusing.
-
Special Agent Dale Cooper: Lately I've been filled with the knowledge that the killer will strike again. But because it is just a feeling, I am powerless to stop it. One more thing, Albert. When the next murder happens, you will help me solve it.
Carl Rodd: Let's test it for the record. Will the next victim be a man or a woman?
Special Agent Dale Cooper: A woman.
Carl Rodd: All right. What color hair will she have?
Special Agent Dale Cooper: Blonde.
Carl Rodd: Tell me some other things about her.
Special Agent Dale Cooper: She's in high school. She is sexually active. She is using drugs. She's crying out for help.
Carl Rodd: Well damn, Cooper, that really narrows it down. You're talking about half the high school girls in America!
-
The Log Lady: [to Laura] When this kind of fire starts, it is very hard to put out. The tender boughs of innocence burn first, and the wind rises, and then all goodness is in jeopardy.
-
Donna Hayward: Do you think that if you were falling in space... that you would slow down after a while, or go faster and faster?
Laura Palmer: Faster and faster. And for a long time you wouldn't feel anything. And then you'd burst into fire. Forever... And the angel's wouldn't help you. Because they've all gone away.
-
Donna Hayward: Where are the cookies?
Laura Palmer: You mean Fred and Ginger?
Donna Hayward: Dancing.
-
James Hurley: You always hurt the ones you love.
Laura Palmer: You mean the ones you pity.
-
Donna Hayward: Where are you going, Laura?
Laura Palmer: Nowhere... fast. And you're not coming.
-
Special Agent Dale Cooper: Thank you Carl. Sorry to wake you.
Carl Rodd: That's okay. I was having a bad dream anyway.
-
Annie Blackburn: [to Laura] My name is Annie. I've been with Dale and Laura. The good Dale is in the lodge and can't leave. Write it in your diary.
-
Special Agent Chester Desmond: [interviewing a waitress who is drinking coffee and smoking] D'you ever take cocaine, Irene?
Irene at Hap's: No, I do not. I never took cocaine or any other drug. I don't take drugs.
Sam Stanley: Nicotine's a drug. Caffeine's a drug.
Irene at Hap's: [annoyed] Who's the towhead?
-
Philip Gerard, Man from Another Place: Bob, I want all my Garmonbozia.
-
Jack at Hap's: Now, Irene *is* her name and it *is* night. Don't go any further with it. There's nothing good about it.
-
Special Agent Dale Cooper: Don't take the ring, Laura.
-
Special Agent Chester Desmond: Sir, your behavior is not funny. Your attitude is wasting the bureau's valuable time.
Sheriff Cable: You're lucky I'm not wasting you.
-
[Cooper and Carl look at the space where Desmond vanished]
Special Agent Dale Cooper: What was here, Mr. Rodd?
Carl Rodd: A trailer was here, what the hell do you think?
Special Agent Dale Cooper: Can you tell me whose trailer it was, and who stayed in it?
Carl Rodd: Uh, an old woman, and her grandson.
Special Agent Dale Cooper: Can you tell me what their names were?
Carl Rodd: Chalfont. As a matter of fact, 'Chalfont' was the name of the people that rented this space before. Two Chalfonts. Weird, huh?
-
Special Agent Dale Cooper: [into his mini-tape recorder] Diane, it's 4:20pm. I'm standing here at the banks of Wind River near the location where the body of Teresa Banks was found. Diane, this case gives me a strange feeling. Not only has Special Agent Chester Desmond dissapeared without a trace, but this is one of Cole's blue rose cases. The clues that were found by Special Agent Desmond and Agent Stanley have led to dead ends. The letter that was extracted from beneath the fingernail of Teresa Banks gives me the feeling that the killer will strike again. But like the song goes, "who knows where, or when?"
-
Jacques Renault: I'm blank as a fart.
-
Donna Hayward: Yeah, Mike, you're the real man.
Mike Nelson: That's right. Mike *is* the man.
Mike Nelson, Bobby Briggs: Mike *is* the man.
Bobby Briggs: [to Laura] Laura Palmer, see you later.
-
Laura Palmer: Quit trying to hold on so tight. I'm gone. Long gone. Like a turkey in the corn.
James Hurley: You're not a turkey. A turkey is one of the dumbest birds on earth.
Laura Palmer: Gobble. Gobble-gobble.
-
Bobby Briggs: Hey! Where were you for the last hour? I've been looking all over for you.
Laura Palmer: I was standing right behind you, but you're too dumb to turn around.
-
Laura Palmer: I don't know when I can come back. Maybe never.
Harold Smith: Laura! Laura!
-
Laura Palmer: [to Harold] You have to hide the diary, Harold. You made me write it all down. He doesn't know about you. You'll be safe.
-
Mrs. Tremond's Grandson: [to Laura; whispering] The man behind the mask is looking for the book with the pages torn out. He is going towards the hiding place.
-
Jacques Renault: Hey, slow pokes... Guess what? There's no tomorrow... Know why, baby? 'Cause it'll never get here.

[first lines]
Gordon Cole: [shouting very loud] GET ME SPECIAL AGENT CHESTER DESMOND OUT IN FARGO, NORTH DAKOTA!
-
Special Agent Chester Desmond: [into a phone] Hello?
Gordon Cole: [shouting into the phone] CHET? IT'S REGIONAL BUREAU CHIEF GORDON COLE CALLING YOU FROM PORTLAND, OREGON.

[hangs up]
-
Carl Rodd: I... uh, I've already gone places. I kind of like to stay where I am.
-
Special Agent Chester Desmond: Teresa Banks had a ring. Any idea what happened to it?
Sheriff Cable: We got a phone here. It's got a little ring.
-
Cooper: Diane, this case gives me a strange feeling. Not only has Special Agent Chester Desmond disappeared, but this is one of Cole's blue rose cases. The clues found by Special Agent Desmond and Agent Stanley have led to dead ends. The letter extracted from beneath the fingernail of Teresa Banks gives me the feeling the killer will strike again. But like the song goes, "Who knows where or when?"
-
Laura Palmer: Why are you so interested in who I'm going to see at night? Nighttime is my time.
Donna Hayward: You're tellin' me.
-
Leo Johnson: [in anger] Shelly, I'm not fooling around anymore! The first thing you're gonna learn is to have a good attitude. That's the key! Anybody'll tell you that.
[slaps Shelly]
-
Jacques Renault: Two days, midnight. By the sound of sawing wood.
-
Laura Palmer: So, you want to fuck the homecoming queen?
Buck: Let's go around the world, babe.
Laura Palmer: [looking at the money Buck put on the table] This isn't going to get you in Walla Walla.
Buck: You go all the way, don't you, little girl?
Laura Palmer: Sooner or later. You willing to go all the way? Huh? You gonna do it to me?
-
Jacques Renault: [walking up to Laura and Ronette] Hey, the party twins. My high school sandwich. Let's put some meat inside.
-
Laura Palmer: I haven't seen you since I was thrown out of One Eyed Jacks.
Ronette Pulaski: What else did we do together? I remember.
-
Donna Hayward: How did I get in my house? How did I get in my bed?
Laura Palmer: Life is full of mysteries, Donna.
-
Laura Palmer: Dad, is the engine on fire? It smells like something's burning.
[Gerard drives up next to the Palmer's car stopped behind a logging truck]
Laura Palmer: Something is burning!
Leland Palmer: It's the engine!
Philip Gerard: You stole the corn! I had it canned over the store! And, miss the look on her face when it was opened! There was a stillness! Like the Formica table top! The thread will be torn, Mr. Palmer! Come on! The thread will be torn! It's him! It's your father!
-
Laura Palmer: Who are you? Who are you? Who are you? Oh! Oh! Who are you?
-
Bobby Briggs: You don't want me. You just want the blow, don't you?
-
Laura Palmer: There's no place left to go, is there, James?
James Hurley: What the hell's that supposed to mean?
Laura Palmer: You know it, and I know it.
-
James Hurley: What's wrong with us? We have everything.
Laura Palmer: Everything but everything.
-
Laura Palmer: Open your eyes, James. You don't even know me. There are things about me - even Donna doesn't know me. Your Laura disappeared. It's just me now.
-
Irene at Hap's: You want to hear about our specials...? We don't have any.
-
Philip Gerard: You stole my corn!
