• Barry Berkman : Hey, Mr. Cousineau, uh... I was wondering, um... do you think I was good enough to be your class?

  Gene Cousineau : No, Barry, I don't. What you did was dogshit. I mean really, really awful. Dumb acting, I call it. Do you know why? Because acting is truth, and I saw no truth. So, here's my advice to you: You go back to whatever nook of the world you call home and you do whatever it is you're good at, because this is not it.

  Barry Berkman : You wanna know what I'm good at? I'm good at killing people. You know, when I got back from Afghanistan I, ah, was really depressed. You know, like I didn't leave my house for months, and, ah, this friend of my dad's, he's, uh he's like an uncle to me. He, uh, he helped me out and he gave me a purpose. He told me that, that what I was good at over there could be useful here and, uh... It's a job, you know? Alright, the money's good, and, uh, these people I take out, like they're-- they're bad people, you know, like, they're pieces of shit. Um... But lately, you know, I've, like, I'm not sleeping and, ah... That depressed feeling's back, y'know? Like... Like, I know there's more to me than that. But maybe... I don't know, maybe there's not. Maybe this is all I'm good at. I don't know. Anyway, forget it. I'm sorry to bother you.

  Gene Cousineau : What's that from?

  Barry Berkman : What?

  Gene Cousineau : Are you telling me that was an improvisation? Huh! Interesting. I mean, the story's nonsense, but there's something to work with.
