• Freddy Newandyke : [asked by Holdaway to describe Joe Cabot]  You remember the 'Fantastic Four'?

  Holdaway : Yeah, with that invisible bitch, 'Flame On!' and that shit?

  Freddy Newandyke : The Thing; motherfucker looks like The Thing.

• Holdaway : So if this fruit's a Brewer's fan, his ass gotta be from Wisconsin.

  Freddy Newandyke : Bing!

  Holdaway : And I'll bet you everything from a diddle-eyed Joe to a damned if I know that in Milwaukee they got a sheet on this Mr. White motherfucker's ass...

• Holdaway : The things you gotta remember are the details. It's the details that sell your story. Now, this particular story takes place in a men's room. So, you gotta know all the details about the men's room. You gotta know if they got paper towels or a blower to dry your hands. You gotta know if the stalls ain't got no doors or not. You gotta know if they got liquid soap or that pink, granulated powder shit they used in high school. Remember? You gotta know if they got hot water or not, if it stinks, if some nasty, lowlife, scum-ridden motherfucker, man, sprayed diarrhea all over one of the bowls. You gotta know *every* detail there is to know about this commode. What you gotta do is take all them details, man, and make 'em your own. While you're doing that, you gotta remember that this story is about you and how you perceived the events that went down.

• Freddy Newandyke : What is this?

  Holdaway : That's an amusing anecdote about a drug deal.

  Freddy Newandyke : What?

  Holdaway : Something funny that happened to you while you were doing a fucking job, man.

• Holdaway : Look man, undercover cops gotta be Marlon Brando, man. To do this job you gotta be a great actor. You gotta be naturalistic. You gotta be naturalistic as hell. If you ain't a Brando actor, you're a bad actor. And bad acting is bullshit in this job.

• Holdaway : Just think about it like it's a joke, alright? You memorize what's important and the rest you make your own, alright? You can tell a joke, can't you?

  Mr. Orange : No.

  Holdaway : Pretend you're Don Rickles or some fuckin' body and tell a joke, alright?
