Quote unquote is the verbal representation of preceding and following quotation marks ("..."). We use this during conversation to indicate that we are quoting somebody.
Example:
She told me to "get lost". ---> She told me to quote get lost unquote.

When you want to say that "these were his or her exact words" you say "and I quote..." then say what was said. You may also want to be clear when the things that were said - and that you are repeating exactly word for word- has ended. To say ".....this is where I am ending what that person said" you say, "end quote." Some say unquote- but end quote is much more accurate.
