Albert's path

Twin Peaks s2e03.
upd: RIP Miguel Ferrer. This scene'll never be felt the same way.

[@solarpunkcyborg4663]

This scene perfectly encapsulates everything Twin Peaks is in its essence: weird, goofy, heartfelt, and pushing an ultimately humanist message underneath the layers of darkness and cynicism.

I love that this scene makes you think you know all there is to know about Albert and that he's finally gonna get the good smack he deserves for being such a dick all the time, and then it makes you stop and listen and process the fact that there's a complex human being beneath that gruff exterior, and your opinion of Albert changes almost instantly.

[@denverbritto5606]

Albert changed too though, he stopped being an asshole after this scene

[@Zionswasd]

Nowadays especially, ppl forget that love and diplomacy and the benefit of the doubt can solve any conflict, as opposed to violence dumb shouting matches and demonization.

[@marsneedstowels]

@@Zionswasd Benefit of the doubt has been destroyed by the prevalence of gaslighting.

[@Zionswasd]

@@marsneedstowels No. That's a ridiculous fallacy and you should abandon it now. Love and diplomacy and the benefit of the doubt are in perfect standing as they always have been and always will be, despite fewer people being dedicated to them at present. There is no "prevalence of gaslighting", that term is bullshit invented by pseudoscientist psychologists, and then bastardized by immoral bullshitters as a tool to excuse their immoral behavior being called out. Basically, if you believe everyone calling you a crazy fucking asshole is "gaslighting" and "cut all those toxic people out of your life", you're left with nobody but other immoral crazy assholes to validate you by calling your immoral behavior moral; e.g. tendencies towards violence, dumb shouting matches, and demonization.

[@neonpharmacy]

I could watch this over and over, something about this seemingly repulsive and dismissive character having a manifesto about love and absolute rejection of violence just resonates with me. Maybe my favourite scene of the whole first two seasons.

[@Spractral]

I think he's the best character ever. He made me laugh so hard with some of his lines (and it's very difficult to get a laugh out of me lately... probably because I've become so cynical and miserable).... Some of the funniest lines I've ever heard in my life, the way they just come out of nowhere and are so searing.. "Look it's trying to think"

There is something transcendentally 21st century about a man who will give his option, without filter, but with honesty, directness and impartiality. Albert called out deficiencies and laziness when and as he saw it but remained invested in the betterment of humanity as a whole.

Was always a fan of Miguel Ferrer. This was one of my all time favorite moments on Twin Peaks. The next time Harry and Albert met after this, was another memorable moment of new found friendship.

[@BrettCaron]

I've always pictured this scene as a pre-prepared speech that Albert has ready for situations like these. Like he put on the sunglasses to hide his amusement and started laughing as soon as he was out the door.

I'm watching Twin Peaks for the first time, and we got to this episode last night. As soon as Albert's speech ended, I paused it and said, "What the hell did I just watch?" Gotta admit, I pretty much hated Albert up to this point. But this scene made him way more interesting!
