- Dr. Lawrence Jacoby: Bobby, were you very sad when Laura died?
- Bobby Briggs: Laura wanted to die.
- Dr. Lawrence Jacoby: How do you know that?
- Bobby Briggs: Because she told me.
- Dr. Lawrence Jacoby: What else did she tell you? Did she tell you that there was no goodness in the world?
- Bobby Briggs: She said that people tried to be good. But they were really sick and rotten on the inside, her most of all. And every time she tried to make the world a better place, something terrible came up inside her and pulled her back down into hell, and took her deeper and deeper into the blackest nightmare. Each time it got harder to go back up to the light.
- Dr. Lawrence Jacoby: Did you sometimes get the feeling that Laura was harboring some awful and terrible secret?
- Bobby Briggs: Yeah.
- Dr. Lawrence Jacoby: A secret bad enough that she wanted to die because of it? Bad enough that it drove her to consciously find peoples weaknesses and prey on them, tempt them, break them down? Make them do terrible, degrading things? Laura wanted to corrupt people because that's how she felt about herself. Is that what happened to you? Is that what Laura did to you?
- Bobby Briggs: [on the verge of tears] She wanted so much. She made me sell drugs so she could have them.

- Dale Cooper: [into his mini tape recorder] Diane, it is 4:28 AM. I have just been woken up by the most God-awful racket which you can probably hear over the sound of my voice.
- [Cooper holds up the tape recorder to a record a loud Icelandic drinking song coming from the next room]
- Dale Cooper: Can you hear that? Up until this moment I have experienced nothing at the Great Northern Hotel but the most pleasant and courteous service imaginable. However, it just goes to prove a point that once a traveler leaves his home he loses almost 100% of his ability to control his environment. Diane, I was wondering if you could overnight express me a pair of pillow silicon ear plugs that I wore on my last trip to New York. Naturally, I didn't bring them with me on this trip because I didn't think I'd be needing them. However...
- [Cooper again holds up the tape recorder to record the loud Icelandic song, and then turns the recorder off]
- The Log Lady: [voice-over] 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.
- [Hank is viciously beating Leo]
- Hank Jennings: I told you to mind the store, Leo, not open your own franchise!
- Leo Johnson: Hank, I s...
- Hank Jennings: Do as you're told, Leo! Next time, you'll watch me take your little chippie apart before I kill you!
- Dr. Lawrence Jacoby: Let's cut the crap, Bobby. Okay, so your parents don't understand what you're going through. Nobody does.
- Bobby Briggs: [scoffs] That's a good one. You make that one up all by yourself?
- Dr. Lawrence Jacoby: Let's not talk about you or your parents anymore. Let's talk about Laura.
- Bobby Briggs: [sarcastic] Okay, let's talk about Laura.
- Dr. Lawrence Jacoby: Bobby, what happened the first time you and Laura made love?
- Bobby Briggs: What kind of question is that?
- Dr. Lawrence Jacoby: Bobby, did you cry?
- Bobby Briggs: [caught off-guard] Did I WHAT?
- Dr. Lawrence Jacoby: And what did Laura do? Did she laugh at you? Did she laugh at you a lot?
- Bobby Briggs: [suttle tone] How do you know... did she tell you...? How...
