Around the dinner table, the conversation was lively. Thank you but for now, the forum has been archived.
*note to self: never, ever deal with "Zawaski Accounting, Inc" ... especially don't fall behind on any payments
I know it is a bit late in the ball-game to introduce new characters, but I have a sneaking suspicion we might get another scene with this Acc't. Maybe just a short peek at his cell phone texts... if he also rec'd the ":-) ALL" text... well, just consider my ALREADY blown mind to be totally blown to smithereens!

Never underestimate accountants. That might be what Lynch&Frost are really trying to tell us 🙂
You're in my driveway..
ai moof car
That whole scene was absolutely fantastic. We expected a violent confrontation between Mr C's hit squad and some of our beloved characters but WOW Lynch and Frost know how to go out in left field for the better! Our gangsters and FBI both on site but the shootout is with a pissed off neighbor? Marvelous!
Ok so there wasn't more to the story? He truly was a neighbor mad bc his driveway was blocked? I mean ... that's ALOT of anger he took out for just blocking the driveway. But I can go with it.
Chantal fired the first shot so he fired back. Hutch unloaded a shotgun at him. I think he was justified and will probably argue he was scared for his life. They shot at him first and he was defending himself. No way to know what they had in the back of their van.
I would use the scene to show an English learner the difference between a "funny situation" and a "fun situation." It wasn't certainly funny in its strictest sense (it was tragic, indeed) but, guys, it was fun, in a Taraninesque style.
I'd use it as an object lesson in manners. And why it's a good idea to use 'em.
The accountant got 'em. They went out in a blaze of glory. She should have just moved the car. I didn't see that coming.
Remember that skinny guy with glasses, the 'farm accountant', who asked Mr. C if he needed money? Mr. C did not need any money/enjoyment, he had just successfully gained what he was looking for, Ray and the coordinates, plus asserted himself as leader of the farm. Mr. C was satisfied here, he got what he was looking for and did not 'need money', so the accountant taking note of this is skinny and just goes away quietly.
Here Chantal and Hutch had been kept up all night/morning by that bird(maybe an owl) that we always see flying around Dougie's house. Furthermore the FBI and Mitchums showed up, messing up their plans. Also, Chantal then ran out of Cheetos, which was the last straw and culminated in her explosion at Hutch. Chantal and Hutch needed money/enjoyment here, for social exchange, they were getting nervous and upset with nothing to keep them 'in' the situation, and on top of that the accountant began to ram their van. This accountant taking note of their great need can now make demands on them and is proportionately stronger than the farm accountant, he accounts for their need in social exchange and takes advantage, something like a manifestation of oppressive social guilt/pressure for failing.....like when Mr. C started getting frustrated with Phillip Jeffries and began to start nervously demanding 'Whos Judy?' 'Whos Judy?' over and over, with the phone ringing in the background to add extra stress.....
Mind blown, for sure. But I thought the scene was a super dark commentary on our country as it is. 7 random people converge on one location, a trivial disagreement, and not one of the lot is without a gun in hand. Is it the power of law, the power of money, the power of crime, and the power of enterprise?
I mean, it was a goddamn war scene right there. A .45, a shotgun, and a fully automatic uzi get pulled in a sleepy suburb over like 2-3 feet of curb realty. That's too much stress. No need getting political over here, but that scene felt like the funhouse mirror spontaneously spinning our own reflection right smack atcha. The accountant settles up.

You must teach older students than I do. If I showed that at my school, I'd be fired! Pun intended!

I loved the skinny accountant at the farm. Such a brave soul to remain behind his rough guy peers to offer money to Mister C. In the end The Polish accountant overcame Hutch and Chantal. They may have been brutally effective assassins, but Cheetos and monthly hormones likely pushed Chantal to lose focus on the job at hand. Hutch should never have asked her if she was on the rag.

Couldn't agree more. It was a suburban war zone. I liked how the FBI dudes stayed in the car till it was all over.
My husband has been drawn to the point of rage several times by people constantly blocking our driveway. The danger is real people, look for yellow painted curbs and No Parking signs! LOL
Jennifer Jason Leigh was on Mark Maron's - WTF with Mark Maron recently. He asked her about Twin Peaks toward the end. The whole thing is worth a listen. Among other things she said, either she or Tim asked if they could have another scene, and David Lynch wrote one especially. As it was before their demise she didn't say which one.
For me they were killers, following orders. They were arguably 'trailer trash' sociopaths. Their conversations were so quirky. I smiled this week as they remarked how noisy the birds were. I thought it poignant that he talked of owing money to someone who'd passed away and she that it was the last packet of Cheetos.
I didn't see them as a filler, rather they served as a plot device for Mr C who holds high status and likely lots of dirty money, so he'd have killers at his beck and call. He wouldn't have the bandwidth to do it all himself. 🙂
