Quotes 

• Self - Host : I was rooting for you, I was going crazy for you and then came...

  Michael Phelps : [interrupts him]  uh oh, here it comes the infamous question

  Self - Host : the face

  Michael Phelps : the worst is I was sitting in the ready room and I remember I know there were always two cameras in the upper right-hand corner right before we walk out and I'm sitting there and spitting water and like "Yeah, what is going on?" As I'm making a face, I'm like "Yup, that's on camera"

  Self - Host : that's gonna be everywhere

  Self - Host : [as the audience laughs]  someone will pick it up tomorrow

  Self - Host : [imitating Phelps' face before taking out a Life size cutout of Phelps]  you were making the maddest face and oh my gosh, in fact, I mean I can't even do this interview, I'm so freaked out about this dude. Not only his gonna beat me swimming, his gonna murder me as well

  Michael Phelps : [after Fallon imitates Phelps' backslap swimming technique]  I've literally have done it since I was eleven years old

  Self - Host : describe Rio for me, describe Brazil: you said nice things about them when you were leaving

  Michael Phelps : yeah

  Self - Host : how was your experience? This was your fifth Olympics?

  Michael Phelps : every year there's "something" that everyone writes about and talks about before you get there. I mean I thought it was great, the people were awesome, they did the best they could, the people were so supportive of us, they were excited in the stands

  Self - Host : like when you walk down the street, they had the Olympic Village, right?

  Michael Phelps : uh huh

  Self - Host : and you just walk around in your USA sweats?

  Michael Phelps : we have like... we always say we have a "designated section" that we sat in

  Self - Host : [jokingly]  you sat at the "cool" table?

  Michael Phelps : yeah, we all picked the "cool" table to go to. So, the swimmers always eat together, it's kind of a madhouse in there

  Self - Host : but then when you walk down the street, people are rooting for you because they know who you are even if you're wearing your hoodie

  Self - Host : [gestures to the life-size cut out, jokingly, sarcastically]  that's your secret disguise: that guy can't walk around at all but did you go out to eat? Did you just focus on the...?

  Michael Phelps : [interrupts him]  no, as soon as I got done swimming, I checked into the hotel with my family and left like two days later

  Self - Host : yeah, that was it

  Self - Host : [jokingly, referring to the scandal the other USA swimmers were involved in]  because other people chose other things to do

  Self - Host : [while the audience applauds, jokingly, referring to his teammates]  they didn't CC you on the invite?

  Michael Phelps : I didn't get the "memo"

  Self - Host : you could've let them know where the bathrooms were

  Self - Host : [referring to Ryan Lochte's nickname]  when you talk to "Ry Ry", let him know we're always available, he can come talk to me whenever he wants, I want to hear the whole scoop
