FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper : [to the waitress who has just poured him a cup of coffee] Wait a minute, wait a minute.
[he savors his first sip]
FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper : You know, this is - excuse me - a damn fine cup of coffee. I've had I can't tell you how many cups of coffee in my life and this, this is one of the best. Now I'd like two eggs over hard. I know, don't tell me, it's hard on the arteries, but old habits die hard, just about as hard as I want those eggs.

Dale Cooper : Diane, it struck me again earlier this morning, there are two things that continue to trouble me. And I'm speaking now not only as an agent of the Bureau but also as a human being. What really went on between Marilyn Monroe and the Kennedys and who really pulled the trigger on JFK?

Dale Cooper : Diane, never drink coffee that has been anywhere near a fish.

FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper : [he enters sanding a handcarved wooden whistle] Hi, Mike, Bobby. Now before we get started, have you two fellas got your stories straight?
Bobby Briggs : If we tell the truth we don't have to get our stories straight.
Mike 'Snake' Nelson : Besides, the sheriff told us we're just in here for fighting and, uh, it was self-defense.
FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper : Right. Well, I guess you can go then.
Bobby Briggs : Now?
FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper : Mm-hm.
[as Mike and Bobby walk to the door, Cooper toots his whistle]
FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper : Oh, fellas, one more thing. Pray for the health and safety of James Hurley, because if anything happens to him, I'm coming for you.
[Mike and Bobby leave]
FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper : Sheriff, what are you sitting around for? We've got places to go and people to see.
Sheriff Harry S. Truman : You know, I think I'd better start studying medicine.
FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper : And why is that?
Sheriff Harry S. Truman : Because I'm beginning to feel a bit like Dr. Watson.
