"As W. C. Fields would say, 'I'd rather be here than Philadelphia.'"―Dale Cooper[src]
William Claude Dukenfield, better known as W. C. Fields, was a vaudeville performer.
Early in his career, he performed his juggling act at the Bijou Opera House in Twin Peaks, Washington.[1]
On February 24, 1989, Dale Cooper quoted Fields as he arrived in Twin Peaks.[2] Albert Rosenfield recalled the same quote in Leo Johnson's autopsy report.[3]
