[[folder:Cookie]]
!!Cookie Brown

* TheDreaded
* HeKnowsTooMuch: [[spoiler:He shoots Recon to death, then shoots Marvin because he's a witness. Bridget narrowly averts this just because Cookie doesn’t notice she’s also in the car (although he finds out later when he sees the cell phone footage of Bridget leaving the scene, forcing Ray to finally do away with him.)]]
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname
* PetTheDog: He tries comforting Bridget after Marvin's death. Although the audience knows full well it's all an act, it's still a nice attempt on his part.
