There’s a scene in David Lynch’s Twin Peaks where Special Agent Dale Cooper and Officer Harry S. Truman walk into the quaint Double R diner. As they enter, Agent Cooper taps Officer Truman on the chest, smiling, and says, “I’m going to let you in on a little secret. Every day, once a day, give yourself a present.” The present? An order of two cups of “good, hot, black coffee.” There is something deeply touching about this scene. In the weird, violent, and questionable sanity of the Lynchian world surrounding him, Cooper found a way to inject his life with some lightness.
