Twin Peaks
We’re almost finished watching the whole thing. One of my favorite moments comes from Episode #19 : The way Andy pours that glass of milk is unforgettable.
29. INT. SHERIFF TRUMAN’S OFFICE - NIGHT
Lucy stands in the doorway.
LUCYSheriff?
Lana Budding sits on the Sheriffs desk surrounded by ardent suitors. Truman, Doc Hayward, Andy, Hawk and Tremayne. Sweetly, in mid-tale:
LANA… and so then I said, “But what do you think underpants
are for, anyway?”
The men react with laughter and affection. All eyes upon her. Tremayne leans closer.
TREMAYNETell us another one. Please, Lana?
HAYWARD
C’mon, Lana. One more.
TRUMAN
Quiet, guys. Give her some room.
LANA
Okay. One time I had this cousin who was a clown in
this rodeo and there was all these really big horses …
Andy leaps up to refill Lana’s glass. Lucy reacts with rolling eyes, revulsion. But no one even notices as she pivots, slams the door behind her. A beat. And the mounted deer head creaks, tilts, and SMASHES down on a vacant chair. Only seconds after Andy left it. HOLD ON Andy’s near-miss for a beat.
