FBI Agent Roger Hardy
- FBI Agent Roger Hardy: Agent Cooper, it's showtime. You've heard the charges. What do you wish to present as your defense?
- Special Agent Dale Cooper: I have no defense. I am completely confident that in the rightness of my actions. Some of it occurred outside of Bureau guidelines, and I will pay the price for that. But I am innocent of any criminal wrongdoing. If they wish to charge me, I will defend myself in a court of law.
- FBI Agent Roger Hardy: Dale. There's a right way and a wrong way to do this. And the first thing we expect is for a Bureau man to stand up for himself. A man who can't, who doesn't even try, well, he may be packing feathers where his spine is supposed to be.
- Special Agent Dale Cooper: Roger. I know the moves I'm supposed to make. And I know the board.
- FBI Agent Roger Hardy: So?
- Special Agent Dale Cooper: I've been doing a lot of thinking lately. And I've started to focus out beyond the edge of the board. On a bigger game.
- FBI Agent Roger Hardy: What game?
- Special Agent Dale Cooper: The sound the wind makes through the vines. The sentience of animals. What we fear in the dark and what lies beyond the darkness.
- FBI Agent Roger Hardy: What the hell are you talking about?
- Special Agent Dale Cooper: I'm talking about seeing beyond fear, Roger. About looking at the world with love.
- FBI Agent Roger Hardy: They're liable to extradite you for murder and drug trafficking.
- Special Agent Dale Cooper: These are things I cannot control.
