Twin Peaks
note: At 7:33 on the DVD, the cafe woman asks Steel, "What
year is this?" and goes on to point out that she is 30-odd
years out from her own time, so if she lies to him about
anything, he can't very well go back and check up on it. In
the
Twin Peaks
season three finale episode
"What is Your Name?",
Cooper finds himself in what seems to be an alternate
timeline from the one he knew and the very last line spoken
in it is him asking, "What year is this?" This will be
discussed in a bit more detail in
the study of
"The Trap" Part 4, at the end of which Steel, along with
Sapphire, finds himself trapped in something like a pocket
universe and asks, "What year is this?"
At 11:25 on the DVD, two license
plates are seen on the workbench in the service station
garage. Though the plates are different colors, it seems as
if they both may have the same number on them, CYP 959P!
The clock seen at 17:45 on the DVD is a Metamec, a British
brand of clocks.
The STD (subscriber trunk dialing) code shown on the phone
in the garage office is 359. This is not an actual STD code
in the UK. It is the country code for dialing a number in
the country of Bulgaria.
