Tonight another episode in mystery. About a monster trying to guess a town's secret. A 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, Agent Cookie reporting. Me in town called Twin Beaks. (sits down looks around) Darn fine town ... (devours pie) Darn fine pie!

(The waitress, a bird with orange feathers, appears her back to us.) Waitress: else I can get you? Cookie Monster: Oh ho, hello, yes! You can get me answers. What was the question? Cookie Monster: Me want to know why town is called Beaks. (Dramatic music as the waitress to face us. Instead of one beak she has ... two beaks! The effect is one of having split her beak down the middle.) Waitress: Hey I don't bud into business do I? Stay out of mine! (she walks quickly away) Cookie Monster: That not darn fine answer!
