Dailies: "That Scene in the Twin Peaks Pilot with Laura Palmer in Disguise"

There, I've gone and given it away. It's a fun piece of trivia, though, especially since Sheryl Lee was playing a dead girl, the tragic Laura Palmer, that she should turn up alive, wigged and padded and bespectacled as the clerk at the bank who takes Agent Cooper and Sheriff Truman to Laura's safety deposit box.
It's a foreshadowing of Madeleine Ferguson, Laura's identical cousin.
When Cooper and Truman glance at the deer head on the table, without a beat she says, "It fell down." I'm not a fan of taxidermy, but I love that the deer looks like it's eavesdropping on the conference.
