All right 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...

Maybe this is all I'm good at.

• 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 : 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.
