Joe Lays Down the Alias Rules, Explained：my way or the highway
Joe gathers the crew before the job and lays down the rules: no real names, no personal talk, and code names he chooses himself. When Mr Pink objects to his colour, Joe ends the argument with one line — 'my way or the highway' — and then walks them through the plan.
あらすじ
Before the robbery, Joe briefs the crew. He says this is business, not a social call, and orders everyone except himself and Eddie to use code names and avoid personal details. The men are assigned colours, Mr Pink argues about his, and Joe shuts it down. Then Joe walks them through the plan step by step.

What's really going on
The scene is the film teaching its own grammar. Joe's rules — code names, no personal history, no real names — are the reason the characters are colours instead of people, and his warning about talking too much is really a warning about trust. The comedy of the code-name argument is that it is deadly serious underneath: a crew that argues this hard over a colour is a crew that does not know each other, which is exactly the point. Joe ends it with a hard line — 'my way or the highway' — and moves straight into the plan, where the same message repeats in practical form: two minutes, no alarms, no mistakes. The briefing shows how the job is supposed to work, and knowing that makes watching it fall apart that much worse.
Theme
TrustThe alias rules exist because the men cannot trust each other with real names or personal details.
IdentityThe crew is reduced to colours chosen by Joe, stripping away who they really are.

このシーンについての質問
Why does Joe use code names?
So the men cannot identify each other later, and so no one's real identity is exposed if anyone talks. It keeps the crew from becoming a group of people who know each other.
Why can't the men pick their own colours?
Joe says he tried that once and it failed, because four strangers would all fight over the same name instead of backing down.
Why is Mr Pink unhappy with his name?
He thinks his colour sounds weak compared to names like Mr White, and he asks to trade or to be Mr Purple instead.
What is the plan for the robbery?
Mr Orange guards the door, Mr Brown waits in a car, Mr Blonde and Mr Blue handle the crowd, and Joe and Mr Pink force the manager to hand over the diamonds, all in two minutes.
What does Joe say about resistance?
He says the store is insured and no one should resist, but if anyone does, the crew should hit them hard to frighten everyone else into silence.
