#583 The Intelligence

There is a scene in David Lynch's
Twin Peaks which replicates the
layout offered here. Not quite
the same — Lynch's characters 
seem to have more intelligence 
than these stereotypical burglars,
& the three-branched candelabra

that supports the women's heads
has been done away with & re-
placed by a minimal chorus line
of pink-clad busty Busby Berkeley
beauties. Add to that that the ex-
terior has been exorcised in the
TV shot. Is purely backstage, with

no window opening out onto an 
industrial landscape tinged in
pink, but it remains a Magritte
concept. & that is what the in-
telligence analysts seek to learn
from, the insights of the man
who brought the unreal to life.
