From an interview included in RoboDoc, a documentary series released in August about the making of the 1987 film RoboCop, which starred Peter Weller as a cybernetically enhanced police officer. Randy E. Moore was the weapons master.

randy e. moore: I went upstairs and I was carrying, I don’t know, about eight Oreos. You know, in a stack. I hand Peter his weapon. I say, Peter, safety’s off. And he wouldn’t take the pistol. And he says, “Robo wants an Oreo.” And I looked at him, and I go, “No, it’s just you and I, Peter. Robo doesn’t get an Oreo. If Peter wants an Oreo, Peter can have an Oreo.” And he clip-clops in the suit over to the edge of the railing, and Peter starts bellowing: “Robo wants an Oreo.” And an associate producer, Stephen Lim, over the radio, goes, “Um, Randy, do you have Oreos?” So I stuffed that whole stack in my mouth. And crunched them and let them fall down three stories onto everyone below me. And I said, “Not anymore.” And Robo got upset.

peter weller: I haven’t got a damn clue about Randy Moore and his fucking Oreos.
