(Monsterpiece Theatre overture plays as we pan in on Cookie Monster 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 town's secret. A town called ... (dramatic music da-dum) Twin Beaks. Oh, me (he runs off stage). (The scene is now a diner, centre a booth with a piece of pie on the red-checkered table-cloth. Cookie enters and spies said pie. Twin Peaks music softly plays in background.) Cookie Monster: Oh ho! Pie ... oh ho ... (speaks into hand-held tape recorder) Diane, this Agent Cookie reporting. Me in town called Twin Beaks. (sits 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 with feathers, appears with her back to us.) Anything else I can get you? Cookie Oh ho, hello, yes! You can get me some answers. What was the question? Cookie Monster: Me 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 bud into your business do I? Stay out of mine! (she walks quickly away) Cookie Monster: That 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 backs to us) Me Special Agent Cookie. First Bird: I'm ... David Finch. Cookie Monster: David Finch, good, me like bird who know his own name. Me have question. Why this town Twin Beaks? (Dramatic music as Cookie looks for source.) (David gets up from the table still not facing us.) David Finch: I'll see you later ... (turns to us and we see his two beaks) Laura. (walks away) (Second gets up from the table, this would be Laura.) Oh well, gotta fly. Cookie Monster: Wait, wait, wait ... you no can me teensy-tinesy hint? Laura (into Cookie's ear)" called Twin Beaks because ... of David Finch off-screen: Come on! Laura: go! Monster: Please oh please, please, please ... Ask the Log Bird. Cookie The Log Bird? David You coming or what? Laura (turns to camera): Yes. (she leaves) Cookie Monster: This town gets stranger and stranger. Okay! Me for Log Bird. Hmmm ... (Cookie looks around, the camera pans to the as the music builds.) (The door opens and in a small yellowish bird carrying a log.) Log Bird: Who's for me? Cookie Monster: Oh, me, me, me, me. (pointing at each item as he says ...) Log ... Bird ... oh ho ... Log Bird! Me for you. Log Bird: on your mind? Cookie Monster: Me want to ask you one simple question. Why this town called Twin Log Let me ask. Cookie Monster: No, no, no, no. Me asking that's how me find out things. Log Bird: Let me ask my log. Do you why this town is called Twin Beaks? (The log is turned and the log's face is uncovered.) Log: How I know? I'm a log! Cookie Ho ha! A talking log! (The Log Bird starts 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 tape recorder ...) Diane, me hurt a log's feelings today and me no closer to finding out why they call this 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 no like to talk. Oh well. (spots pie on counter) Time for more of this great pie! (picks up pie and leaves) Let's go, Diane. (Scene changes to the Monsterpiece set as Cookie rushes on and sits down.) Cookie Monster: And that concludes Twin Beaks. Darn fine story ... (cocks head and poses) darn actor and ... (picks up pie from out of sightline and devours it) darn fine pie. This Alistair Cookie for Monsterpiece Theatre.
