Maybe, but we know this much: "He's always been cool."
Notice also that the characters say, multiple times, "Something's Wrong." So although James has always been cool, and he's quiet NOW (how about before?), I wouldn't bank what we see played out as reality. I have a vibe this is a manufactured reality, whether Donna is dead, alive or a Realtor in Oregon.
Has anyone analysed the sounds Cooper and Naido(?) make in the purple room? It sounds like their speech is sped up by A LOT, similar to the slot machine/gramophone. Maybe there's something there.
One unrelated thing I noticed on my last viewing:
The prison BadCoop downloaded the schematics for was to the east of his location, but Tammy says he was driving WEST when he had the accident.
So, either:
1. He wasn't going to it.
2. The driving scene doesn't take place immediately after the motel scenes. (a lot of his scenes seem to be out of order)
3. The prison he's in now is not the same as the one he downloaded from. (So it wasn't planned)
Agent Cooper. Listen to the sounds.
It is in our house now. It all can not be said aloud now.
Remember 4 - 3 - 0
Richard and Linda. Two birds with one stone.
You are far away.
I think Watts' acting is just her and Lynch's interpretation of how a typical bourgeois suburbanite acts. And since I know more than a few, it seems spot on.
EDIT: It's not a dream sequence. Just Lynch's absurdist (not realist) take on a particular culture.
Cooper and Bad Coop are both part of the same time period. That's why Mike says one of them has to die; they're sharing the same space.
Apologize if this has been posted already; I've read most but not all of the thread.
Film Score Reject's episode recapper, H. Perry Horton, has the most interesting theory I've heard about the nature of the source of information Bad Cooper is seeking:
this info he’s seeking, it might be in the possession of Ben Horne; when Coop asks one of his cohorts for an update, the fella mentions he’s got an in with the source’s new secretary. Earlier in the episode we met Ben Horne’s new secretary, Beverly, played by Ashley Judd; given the actress’ star quality and the fact that otherwise the Horne scene has no real purpose other than updating characters, expect Bev to be more than just a secretary, kind of like Jones was to Thomas Eckhardt in the original series.

The secretary is called Betty, I think. Ben's secretary was called Beverley.
