Bryan Cranston: ...and served the past eight years. A couple tours in Iraq. 
David Neher whistles. 
David Neher: You see any shit while you were there? I mean, did you get into the shit? 
Bryan Cranston: Well, I lost my sense of smell there. So yeah, I saw some shit. 
David Neher: So you can't smell anything? 
Bryan Cranston: No. There was a roadside IED that just went off and threw our Humvee into a ditch. That was it. 
David Neher shakes his head disbelievingly. 
David Neher: So now you can't smell the petals or a rose or a newborn baby? 
Bryan Cranston shakes his head in the negative. 
Bryan Cranston: No, I can't smell either of those things or anything else for that matter.

John McKinney: Same thing happened to me. Over there, he drops his napkin...

John McKinney (to Bryan Cranston): What?

David Neher: I've got to say something. 
John McKinney: You wouldn't be you if you didn't. Oh boy.

Jennie Pierson: Excuse me, everyone!
Everyone in the room except Bryan Cranston begins chanting “Speech!” They do not stop while Jennie Pierson tries to speak.

David Neher: You know you smelled my fart, just admit it. 
Bryan Cranston: I did not smell your fart. I tasted it. 
David Neher looks extremely confused. 
Bryan Cranston: When I lost my sense of smell, my sense of taste was enhanced. In fact, I tasted a lot of your farts here tonight, from a variety of sources. 
The shot cuts to Jennie Pierson looking around the room. 
Bryan Cranston: Now, I didn't do two tours of duty in Iraq just to come home to eat a bunch of farts or queefs.

Bryan Cranston: Toots and poots. Fanny biscuits. Spirit of Dukey Smellington. And Matt here.

John McKinney: I'm sorry. 
The shot cuts back to Bryan Cranston who raises his glass to John McKinney. 
Bryan Cranston: Thank you very much for that, Matt. 
Bryan Cranston turns to face the room. 
Bryan Cranston: Look, I faced a lot in Iraq. I experienced the brutality of war firsthand. I buried friends. I saw things I wish I could forget, but I know I never will. But none of that compares to the air attack of bean bombers that I had to endure here tonight. The taste is still in my mouth. Now, I want you to all just chew on that like I had to chew on your crack rattlers and your pants blasting juice poofs. Thanks so much for the Famous Anus cookies.
