Tonight another episode in mystery. About a monster trying to guess a town's secret. A town called ... (dramatic 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 table-cloth. Cookie enters and spies said pie. Twin Peaks music softly plays in background.) Cookie Oh ho!

Cookie Monster: Me to know why town is called Twin Beaks. (Dramatic music as the waitress turns to face us. 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 your business do I? out of mine! (she walks quickly away) Cookie Monster: That not darn fine answer!

Cookie Monster: Wait, wait, wait ... you no can give me teensy-tinesy Laura (into Cookie's ear)" It's called Twin Beaks ... Voice of David off-screen: Come on! Laura: go!

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.
