Cole: I HEARD that! I HEARD THAT! I HEARD you PERFECTLY! You don’t understand Miss Johnson. For 20 years I’ve been asking people to please speak up, but for some reason I can hear you clear as a bell. Say something else.
Shelly: Um, ah, do you want pie with your coffee?
Cole: Good Lord, I can hear you perfectly. This is like some kind of miracle.
Log Lady: What’s wrong with miracles?

Episode 26
§ Cole: Shelly, turn around and face me a moment before I lose my nerve. I’m about ready to leave Twin Peaks and I don’t know when I’m going to return. But I want you to know meeting you has been more than a privilege; it’s touched my heart. And I know that if I don’t kiss you now I’m going to regret it the rest of my days.
Bobby: Hey!! What the hell is going on??
Cole: You are witnessing a front three quarter view of two adults sharing a tender moment. Acts like he’s never seen a kiss before.
Cooper: Ah, Gordon-
Cole: Take another look, sonny, it’s gonna happen again!

§ Cooper: "There's some curious linkages here." (Referring to the Project Blue Book files)
Cole: "THE WORD LINKAGE REMINDS ME OF SAUSAGE. NEVER CARED MUCH FOR THE LINKS-- PREFER THE PATTIES. BUT BREAKFAST IS A REAL GOOD IDEA!"
