Episode Quotes

Season 2 / Episode 9: - Arbitrary Law

Special Agent Dale Cooper: Gentlemen, two days ago a young woman was found murdered by the same individual I believe responsible for the death of Laura Palmer. I have reason to believe that the killer is in this room. As a member of the Bureau, I spend most of my time seeking simple answers to difficult questions. In the pursuit of Laura's killer, I have employed Bureau guidelines, deductive technique, Tibetan method, instinct, and luck. But now I find myself in need of something new, which, for lack of a better word, we shall call... magic. [thunder]
Benjamin Horne: Would you like us to hum? A Tibetan chant, perhaps? [laughs]
FBI Agent Albert Rosenfield: I think it's going terrifically well. Don't you?

Season 2 / Episode 9: - Arbitrary Law

Leland Palmer: Through the dark of futures past, the magician longs to see. One chants out between two worlds, *fire* walk with me! I'll catch you with my death bag. You may think I've gone insane, but I promise I will kill again!

MISTAKES/GOOFS

FACT: Benjamin Horne shows several religious texts to his daughter, including "The Talmud", and states his intention to Audrey to read every one cover to cover. The Talmud is actually several dozen volumes long, and Ben appeared to be carrying merely a scholarly book discussing the Talmud.
