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.
lol coop just rolls with everything tho. hell everyone does. someone does something weird and people just kinda go "welp.😐" it's endearing actually. cooper will say some insane shit about psychic visions and giants and dwarfs and truman will just look at him and go "huh. y'don't say." and go along with it
yes and thats why the white lodge is forever about 5 steps behind, and the nightmare existence we inhabit continues unrestrained. sad, many such cases.
I felt every single word. Just after that scene alone, he instantly became one of my favourite characters. Such a shame to lose such a fantastic talent..
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.
I actually teared up a bit when I first saw this scene. I think by this point I have been mentally conditioned to get weepy whenever "Falling" reaches my ears.
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 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.
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.
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"
"Albert Rosenfield:Now you listen to me. While I will admit to a certain cynicism, the fact is that I am a naysayer and hatchetman in the fight against violence. I pride myself in taking a punch and I'll gladly take another because I choose to live my life in the company of Gandhi and King. My concerns are global. I reject absolutely revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The foundation of such a method... is love. I love you Sheriff Truman." Epic speech! The Αrt of unpredictable Αction!
I actually consider this scene a turning point in my life. Its like it really happened to me because i hated this character, and he spoke the truth about himself so confidently. It made me think about how i should approach ppl in my life.
Simon Bollen Yeah it's not funny but being inches from your coworkers face will probably make you laugh i mean i can't keep a straight face if i look at my friends face for a long time
I think by this scene i can figure out albert's childhood, he was bullied as a kid and hence he is so bitter and annoying and unfriendly, but inside he really wants to fight back against those childhood scars and do something good for this world
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.
@@ComicAcolyte this line "i have a way with " has been with me for like 7 years and never seen anybody using it anywhere other than me very very rarely. I love that line and been with me since I saw it on an english fiction back in school days which goes -" i have a way with horse " . A boy took a horse out for a spin from someplace unknowingly and his friend was astonished by his skill with it. Or was that something else other than horse.
First time I saw this it hit me just as hard as the "Vision of light" speech. Just tears in your eyes, bewildered, feeling like you just got emotionally mugged because 90 seconds ago you were in a completely different mood.
It was after watching this scene for the first time, at the age of 18, that I realised I was probably watching the best television series I would ever see
I've been watching Twin Peaks for the first time with a group of friends, and when this scene happened we all got up and gave Albert a standing ovation
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!
Did you ever finish Twin Peaks? If so, what did you think of it all from Season 1 to Season 2 to Fire Walk With Me to The Missing Pieces to Season 3? Was it good, get any weirder, still intriguing? (Without spoilers for those who haven't finished... such as I, who only just finished the Season 2 finale.)
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 remember reading about how Morton from Robocop was originally supposed to be a villain, closer to Jones, but when they found out Miguel Ferrer was cast they were like, "Fuck, the audience is gonna fall in love with this asshole, better tone down the evil."
Miguel Ferrer was awesome. Albert was one of my favorite characters in all three seasons, was so happy to see his character having a much bigger role in season three.
“Yeah. You might practice walking without dragging your knuckles on the floor” 😂 Laughed out loud when I first watched this. Then was bowled over by his “I love you sheriff Truman.” A truly one of a kind show
This was such a brilliantly unusual scene, expertly acted by Miguel Ferrer. Thanks very much for posting it. And R.I.P. Mr Ferrer, you were one of the greats...
what a great scene. i like harry a lot but he got absolutely scolded here. at this point in the series most people probably thought of albert as an asshole but this revealed so much of a hidden depth to him in such a short amount of time. and i couldn't agree more with what he actually says here
oh yes. the genius that is david lynch. he is a proponent of mindfulness and transcendental meditation. i like to think of cooper as a sort of autobiographical character. and lynch's wisdom comes out in many of the other characters as well.
I go through so many emotions in this minute and a half. I'm laughing, then crying, then I'm laughing again. I feel like a crazy person... Great scene, and one of my favorites of the series.
@M B Indeed. I hope many of them can at least think the romantic love. But an understanding of love which expends itself far over the boundaries of romantic love or between family members is rare these days.
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.
Yes it is!
Excellent.
@@spanish-inquisition2024 ABQ!
I thought so too. When I try to summarize to myself what twin peaks is about, this scene never fails to pop up in my mind😂😂
its season 2, therefore extraneous and non-canonical
I love how coopers not shocked at all. He’s just like ‘That’s our Albert’
lol coop just rolls with everything tho.
hell everyone does. someone does something weird and people just kinda go "welp.😐" it's endearing actually. cooper will say some insane shit about psychic visions and giants and dwarfs and truman will just look at him and go "huh. y'don't say." and go along with it
I don’t know what’s greater, how sudden it was, or that they seriously turned an entire character around to being lovable within one quick speech.
It's incredible how this is both incredibly moving and ridiculously funny it's such a rare feeling it gives you
i just started watching this show and my god Lynch is a genius
The beauty & genius of Twin Peaks. Provokes so many simultaneous emotions and reactions.
and also scary
it is neither moving nor funny, just a statement of ethos
@@rickdeckard1075im sorry, but shut up.
"I reject absolutely revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The foundation of such a method...is love."

Albert changed too though, he stopped being an asshole after this scene
not "almost"
nah i still think hes an asshole to people, only after this scene he was an asshole with a speech
Yeah but he's still kind of a dick tho
He says he's against revenge but in the episode after he got Slapped he filed a report and tried to get cooper to sign it
I actually teared up a bit when I first saw this scene. I think by this point I have been mentally conditioned to get weepy whenever "Falling" reaches my ears.
It still brings tears to my eyes.
I tear up during it every rewatch lol
I'm on my 3rd rewatch. I get emotional, too.
Nailed it
Twinkle twinkle little star
All the rage and anger of Sheriff Truman vanished at the very second Albert finished speaking...The power of speech
Albert would have taken any beating Truman could have dished out and not complain.
The power of love

Alberts path is a strange and difficult one
Always loved that scene
The foundation for such a method..... Is love
There is no show ever quite like twin peaks
the way he puts on the glasses as well like its a classic FBI cool guy line. Lynch is the Master
I actually consider this scene a turning point in my life. Its like it really happened to me because i hated this character, and he spoke the truth about himself so confidently. It made me think about how i should approach ppl in my life.
Albert's path is strange and difficult one
Your path is complete. You can rest now. The White Lodge awaits.
for you
😥
my heart! I felt that
I'd rather go to Hell than sit in that one room with Senorita Dido for all eternity, listening to the same jazz tune
The scene that cemented Miguel Ferrer as one of my favorite character actors.
This one, and from Hot Shots Part Deux - "War - it's fantastic!"
Same
From a sharp quip to a powerful life-affirming statement in mere seconds. One of the best scenes of the show. I chose him to mean it.
rest in peace albert
best scene ever.I wonder how many takes did kyle maclachlan need before he could say his line with a straight face.
Why? It's not funny
Simon Bollen Yeah it's not funny but being inches from your coworkers face will probably make you laugh i mean i can't keep a straight face if i look at my friends face for a long time
it's a very funny line.
Yeah it's actually incredibly funny
Ainara González MacLachlan is a pro, he doesn't need extra takes.
Diane, I keep trying to explain to my friends how magnificent of a show Twin Peaks is, but they don't believe me. This clip changed their minds.
Miguel was a close pal of mine when he did this show. He was a great guy...
Seriously? Oh man... I loved watching him.
Any good stories?
What a scene, and what a character.
Oh, Albert is dead serious. Yep, his is a strange and difficult path. And I love him for that.
I think by this scene i can figure out albert's childhood, he was bullied as a kid and hence he is so bitter and annoying and unfriendly, but inside he really wants to fight back against those childhood scars and do something good for this world

RIP ... this was my favourite Twin Peaks moment
Me too. My second favorite is the Major Briggs vision scene where he makes Bobby tear up.
The swelling of the score made this moment even more heartfelt and beautiful.
Albert & Hawk, two great unsung heroes of Twin Peaks.
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.
im so obsessed with this scene
Rest in peace agent Albert.
Albert showed me that I can find compassion, love, and patience, even in moments of strain and anger. This was one of my favorite moments on the show
We love you, Agent Rosenfield.
This bit and Major Briggs' speech were true moments of very human transcendence in this series.
I tried that speech outside Hollywood’s nightclub in Romford….
Got my head kicked in 😢
A strange and difficult path.
Miguel Ferrer (actor that played Albert) died today aged 61.
RIP :(
3 years ago I did not know he passed away 😔
I love this philosophy.

All his fans could be hearing a silent reply:I love you too, Albert.
Rest in peace.........
So deep, this scene absolutely blew my mind.
Only Miguel Ferrer could deliver this line and it land with so many different emotional tones. What a masterclass of a vibe. Rest in peace, Miguel ❤

"Hatred is never appeased by hatred in this world. By non-hatred alone is hatred appeased. This is a law eternal" - Gautama Buddha (Dhammapada)

Beautifully stated, it's how I wish I could carry myself too if I didn't keep falling prey to my aggression
All you need is amble amount of wisdom and words ready to be delivered at the right moment.

I think that would be much less interesting than if he actually meant it tbh
the wonderful ambiguity of lynch!
Yeah he definitely meant it, since when he comes back later on he hugs Truman and compliments Cooper's fashion sense.
he kind of meant it.. just like we all do
Wow way to kill it. He very obviously meant it
I watch this every day
This actor had a good way of making people fall in love with awful characters. This and the sleazy businessman in Robocop are stand outs.
I remember reading about how Morton from Robocop was originally supposed to be a villain, closer to Jones, but when they found out Miguel Ferrer was cast they were like, "Fuck, the audience is gonna fall in love with this asshole, better tone down the evil."
I certainly wouldn’t go so far as to say Albert is awful
I love this moment, one of the highlights of the whole series. Humanity is not hopeless.
Miguel Ferrer was awesome. Albert was one of my favorite characters in all three seasons, was so happy to see his character having a much bigger role in season three.
Lol Truman's confused reaction always kills me.
And we love you Albert.
This hit so hard emotionally the first time I saw it. And then, subsequently, every time after that.
Yes, I’m surprised that some people found it to be comedic.
@@Jackp2003 maybe because it literally is?? Things can be emotionally impactful and funny at the same time ya know
@@lukess.s Ture, true.
When people ask me if they would like Twin Peaks, I tell them to watch this clip. Their reaction is their answer.
That’s a good choice. My own two scenes to show someone: the “rocks and bottles” scene and Cooper’s dream from Season 1, Episode 3.
albert was so honestly brutal, but had good intentions
Still to this day my favorite scene from Twin Peaks. RIP Albert
“Yeah. You might practice walking without dragging your knuckles on the floor” 😂
Laughed out loud when I first watched this. Then was bowled over by his “I love you sheriff Truman.”

I love Albert so damn much.
Albert is not just an FBI Agent, he's a man with a purpose to expose all evil from our world. RIP Miguel Ferrer
That’s the job description of an agent on the Blue Rose Task Force.
This scene, Major Briggs' vision about Bobby and every supernatural encounter Cooper has are my favorite scenes
This was such a brilliantly unusual scene, expertly acted by Miguel Ferrer. Thanks very much for posting it.
And R.I.P. Mr Ferrer, you were one of the greats...
R.I.P. Miguel Ferrer, we all miss you
One of my favorite moments.
It's too bad this guy died relatively young, he was a good actor. At least he got to be in the revival.
I could watch twin peaks over and over
I never noticed Albert walk between the chair and table and push the chair out and leave it there. So rude and so brilliant 😂
The scene is great, especially when the gorgeous music kicks in
Why tf am I crying?! Lynch and co. knocked it out the park with their casting. Just beautiful.
This speech always gives me goosebumps, I love Albert and this moment totally changed my opinion on him.
The best part about this is the next time Albert comes to town, him and Truman are like best friends. It's so heart warming!
Perhaps Truman knows that Albert is competent and efficient.
I like how this scene makes less sense with the context then without it
the shades seal the deal...

My single favourite scene of the whole series!
R.I.P. Miguel Ferrer (1955-2017)
This is an amazing scene. It's hilarious and powerful at once. Bravo.

I go through so many emotions in this minute and a half. I'm laughing, then crying, then I'm laughing again. I feel like a crazy person... Great scene, and one of my favorites of the series.
This scene is the 🐐
the foundation is love.
A love which is far more than the love we know out of pop songs.
@M B Indeed. I hope many of them can at least think the romantic love. But an understanding of love which expends itself far over the boundaries of romantic love or between family members is rare these days.
Love how Albert returns on a much later episode and gives Truman a big hug
0:38 you think it's going to become a fistfight... And then Albert stumps everyone including the audience lol awesome character
You were one of the best, Miguel. Here's to you.
absolutely the best single moment in TP
I love this speech, and the delivery was amazing. Thanks Albert, rest in peace.
season 3 had NOTHING like this; it just felt different.
best scene in the entire Twin Peaks canon in my opinion
I dont think anything tops the last scene of the final episode. But this is one is great
Definitely in the top ten, at any rate.
