I finally had the chance to get an original copy of HOTEL ROOM instead of my bad quality vhs recording-done-on-TVairing and I'm looking for, at least, a transcript of the dialogues 'cause even though I already watched it a million times in the italian very well-dubbed version, I'd like to know the exact words the characters are using in the original one.  I hope somebody will understand my need

Moreover, I had an ultimate and clearer vision of the whole pattern the  3 episodes movie tries to depict (I know my words would sound naive and oversaid, but I think "you never have something clear when it comes to Lynch"):

The 3 episodes all deal with this image - THE ROOTS OF CRAZINESS - how the mind can go unstable and make you act very strangely, eventually with dramatic and traumatic results. 

- in TRICKS, it's obvious Moe (Harry Dean Stanton) is a character very similar to the more recent Fred Madison (Bill Pullman) in LOST HIGHWAY, and that almost everything occurring in room 603 actually happens in Moe's head or at least, as in MULHOLLAND DR.'s conclusive part, also the facts we are to take as really happening now are shown to us from the  "psycho" 's distorted mind's point of view.

- in GETTING RID OF ROBERT, which is directed by Signorelli but seems to be a very lynchan production anyway, Sascha is a very unstable woman who has no control over her personality when it comes to love and any other relationship with the world outside of her very marked and overshown body - basically I think she is not less crazy than Moe or the 30's woman in the last episode BLACKOUT -. What I think is interesting in this episode anyway, not considering the very good, anti-emphatic & shocking finale, is how some actions and lines repeat very often as in a play of Eugene Ionesco or even Jean Genet. The absurdity takes place in the realm of repetition. A ficticious game, a sort of rehearsal between the girls, questions and answers around the way Sascha and Robert's relationships usually develop, gets dramatically turned upside down in the real version of facts as Robert takes shape getting in room 603. I still have to figure them out clearly, but I think this episode has more elements in common with the other two than we think. The obvious ones are the same hotel waiters, the man and the girl, who seem to have no age and live forever as they appear in each segment of this movie.

- in BLACKOUT, there is a tète-a-tète between reason, the Husband, and madness, the Wife. The chinese themes and elements preannounced in episode 1's story told by Moe, come out stronger here. Moreover, I think this is a very good piece concerning introspection into a foolish mind: even though we get to know, through the husband's words and interpretations of his wife's delirium, a part of what truly happened, we also go deep in her mind and can feel the way a crazy feels. And, by the way, this is one of the finest pictures, artistically speaking, Lynch has achieved in years. The contrast between the darkness of the room and the candour of Alicia Witt's face, lit at intermittance by lighnings and the candles in the room is superb and gives a symbolic meaning to everything.

Lastly, has anyone ever noticed the two cops at the end of TRICKS are the same who spy on Pete in LOST HIGHWAY?  ("What a fucking job" "Which? His or ours?" "Ours, Ed" ... "Fucker gets more pussy than a toilet seat")
