...star. (There may be an issue involving a lack of hair. On his head.) Here Lynch plays Walter, a contractor from Billings, who drove all the way to Seattle for Burke's hokey seminar and, a few hours in, sensibly wants his money back. Burke has to practice some serious self-help voodoo to keep skeptical Walter on the hook, but eventually (it's an interminable seminar) he gets Walter to pull a photo of his 12-year-old son out of his wallet and recount the story of his death.
