(Monsterpiece Theatre overture plays as we pan in on Monster seated in his chair wearing his lovely red smoking jacket.) Cookie Monster: Oh hello, this Alistair Cookie here for Monsterpiece Theatre. Tonight another episode in mystery. About a monster trying to guess a secret. A town called ... (dramatic music da-dum) Twin Beaks. Oh, excuse me (he runs off stage). (The scene is now a diner, centre screen a booth with a piece of pie on the red-checkered table-cloth. Cookie enters and spies said pie. Twin Peaks music softly in background.) Cookie Monster: Oh ho! Pie ... oh ho ... (speaks into hand-held tape recorder) Diane, this Agent Cookie reporting. Me in called Twin Beaks. (sits down looks around) Darn fine town ... (devours pie) Darn fine pie! (devours plate) Darn fine plate too. Diane, there is one thing me no can find out. Why town called Twin Beaks? Me begin asking questions. Asking questions best way to find out something. (The waitress, a bird orange feathers, appears with her back to us.) Waitress: else I can get you? Cookie Oh ho, hello, yes! You can get me some answers. What was the question? Cookie Me want to know why town is called Twin Beaks. (Dramatic music as the waitress turns to face us. Instead of one beak she has ... two beaks! The effect is one of split her beak down the middle.) Waitress: Hey I don't bud into your do I? Stay out of mine! (she walks quickly away) Cookie Monster: not darn fine answer! (he sighs, gets out of the booth and walks toward the next table) Me got to ask more people more questions. Oh, hey, hey, hey, hey (to the birds at the next table with their backs to us) Me Special Agent Cookie. First I'm Finch ... David Finch. Cookie Monster: David Finch, good, me bird who know his own name. Me have question. Why this town called Twin Beaks? (Dramatic music as Cookie around for source.) (David Finch gets up from the table not facing us.) Finch: I'll see you later ... (turns to face us and we see his two beaks) Laura. (walks away) (Second Bird gets up from the table, this be Laura.) Oh well, gotta fly. Cookie Monster: Wait, wait, ... you no can give me teensy-tinesy hint? Laura (into Cookie's ear)" It's Twin Beaks because ... of David Finch off-screen: Come on! Laura: go!

(she leaves) Cookie Monster: This town gets stranger and stranger. Okay! Me for Log Bird. Hmmm ... (Cookie looks around, the pans to the door as the music builds.) (The door and in walks a small yellowish bird carrying a log.) Log Bird: Who's for me? Cookie Monster: Oh, me, me, me, me. (pointing at item as he says ...) Log ... Bird ... oh ho ... Log Bird! Me look for you. Log Bird: What's on mind? Monster: Me want to ask you one simple question. Why this town called Twin Beaks? Log Let me ask. Cookie No, no, no, no.

I'm a log! Cookie Ho ha! A talking log! (The Log starts backing Cookie into the counter.) Log Bird: That's right a talking log! A log that doesn't like to be at! (to log) Come on let's get out of here. Cookie Monster (as she leaves): Sorry! (Cookie stands next to an eavedropping counter-bird wiping up as he says into his recorder ...) Diane, me hurt a log's feelings today and me no closer to finding out why they call this place Twin Beaks. But! Me did notice one thing *very* interesting about the birds in this town. They all have two beaks! (Counter-bird looks up in shock and leaves.) Cookie Monster: But they no like to talk. Oh well. (spots pie on counter) Time for more of this pie! (picks up pie and leaves) Let's go, Diane. (Scene changes to the Monsterpiece Theatre set as rushes on and sits down.) Cookie Monster: And that concludes Twin Beaks. Darn fine story ...
