"The Prince of Tides."
The Wire
"Hey, Frank. Something's going on."
The Wire
"Freezing my balls off."
The Wire
"It ain't so bad. Loosen up. Couple more months, it's gonna be spring."
The Wire
"Spring, huh?"
The Wire
"Listen, you gotta realize the bosses did you a favor sending you down here."
The Wire
"-Citywide to Marine Unit. -7672. Go ahead."
The Wire
"Distress call from a private craft. 60-foot white vessel. Engines are dead."
The Wire
"What's the location, Citywide?"
The Wire
"In the channel near the bridge. About 2,000 yards off the Armistead pier."
The Wire
"10-4, we're responding."
The Wire
"My father used to work there."
The Wire
"-Beth Steel? -In the shipyards there, yeah."
The Wire
"I had an uncle who was a supervisor there. Got laid off in '78, though."
The Wire
"'73 for my dad."
The Wire
"-Party boat? -Pretty one, yeah."
The Wire
"-More than one engine, right? -Probably an electrical problem."
The Wire
"Is that a police boat?"
The Wire
"-Drink? -No, thanks."
The Wire
"-Harbormaster? -No, City Police."
The Wire
"-You're not a mechanic, are you? -Me? No."
The Wire
"Best I can offer you is a tow line."
The Wire
"Claude, looks like they're gonna need a pull."
The Wire
"-10-4, we'll tow to Henderson's. -That'll work."
The Wire
"Any chance you can hold off on bringing us in?"
The Wire
"Lot of partying going on now."
The Wire
"I wouldn't wanna cut it short for a little engine trouble."
The Wire
"You're in the shipping channel."
The Wire
"...because you see what I'm saying, right?"
The Wire
"I mean, three years in auto theft and I didn't learn anything."
The Wire
"I didn't care."
The Wire
"I'm telling you, I didn't even wanna be a police anymore."
The Wire
"I think that was why I shot up my car like I did."
The Wire
"But this thing we did on Barksdale, the wiretap and all..."
The Wire
"that felt like something. That felt like something I wanna do."
The Wire
"So I was thinking, you know, narcotics, maybe."
The Wire
"Major, you want this stuff where?"
The Wire
"Just in here. Up against the wall over there."
The Wire
"If there aren't any openings in the regular narcotics shift..."
The Wire
"I mean, with this Barksdale thing..."
The Wire
"Lester Freamon had us deep into the money. Real deep."
The Wire
"We could've seized real estate, cash, vehicles, all kinds of stuff."
The Wire
"If the bosses, I mean, if command had let that case go forward."
The Wire
"We were on it."
The Wire
"-Look at that. It's the dove. -Right."
The Wire
"-So what do you think? -What do I think?"
The Wire
"I think you're gonna take the Sergeant's Exam next month."
The Wire
"And because I have Andy Krawczyk's ear..."
The Wire
"you're gonna make Sergeant."
The Wire
"Then you're gonna come out here to the Southeast..."
The Wire
"where, because I'm your father-in-law..."
The Wire
"you're gonna be assigned a daytime shift in a quiet sector."
The Wire
"Then you're gonna take the Lieutenant's Exam where you'll also score high."
The Wire
"I don't want to make rank."
The Wire
"I want to work cases. Good cases."
The Wire
"Roland."
The Wire
"Listen to me."
The Wire
"You did good with the drug thing. You buckled down, you did the work."
The Wire
"And except for that thing with the Grand Jury..."
The Wire
"Now if you'll just shut up and listen to me..."
The Wire
"-This radio ain't working that well. -We're losing it."
The Wire
"-We're losing the station, man. -What you mean?"
The Wire
"-Try a Philly station or some shit like that. -The radio in Philly is different?"
The Wire
"Nigger, you gotta be fucking with me, right?"
The Wire
"You never heard a station outside of Baltimore?"
The Wire
"I ain't never left Baltimore except that Boys' Village shit one day."
The Wire
"And I wasn't trying to hear no radio up in that bitch."
The Wire
"Come on, man. You're killing me. Stop."
The Wire

The Wire
"She wants to start doing preliminaries on our witnesses."
The Wire
"That means the old lady from the projects, which is no problem."
The Wire
"And your man Omar, who's in the wind."
The Wire
"You got a line on Omar, Jimmy?"
The Wire
"-Well, he's not to starboard. -That's port, fool."
The Wire
"-How the fuck would you know? -Come on."
The Wire
"Let me buy you lunch and we can think on this shit together."
The Wire
"I leave, I gotta tell my Sergeant."
The Wire
"-What for? -For betting that you'd ride the boat."
The Wire
"You tell that motherfucker he's not gonna see that money..."
The Wire
"especially since it was probably him told Rawls where I didn't wanna go."
The Wire
"Better, actually."
The Wire
"Hey, come on, now."
The Wire
"The canal gets dredged..."
The Wire
"it means we all work. Your people, my people."
The Wire
"Yeah, but you know how much money you're gonna spend..."
The Wire
"to even get them talking about that shit?"
The Wire
"We don't take a shot, we might as well roll over and die right now."
The Wire
"That's six or seven-man gangs at best."
The Wire
"You go down to Annapolis asking for the goddamn canal..."
The Wire
"you gonna come back with nothing but your little shriveled-ass dick in your hand."
The Wire
"What's more, if the grain pier don't get fixed up soon..."
The Wire
"some asshole's gonna fuck us by building condominiums all over it."
The Wire
"-Nat, if the canal were 2 feet deeper-- -Fuck the canal."
The Wire
"I'm going to the District Council."
The Wire
"I'm gonna tell them to push for the grain pier."
The Wire
"-You feel me? -Nat, calm the fuck down."
The Wire
"Goddamn Checkers Local always acting like you're the king of everything and shit."
The Wire
"Nat, listen to me. If we--"
The Wire
"Y'all need to crawl back down in them holds..."
The Wire
"and remind yourself of who you is and where you come from."
The Wire
"Damn, Frank."
The Wire
"We just sat here and watched Nat Coxson take a shit all over you."
The Wire
"And shrivel-dick motherfucker that you are, you take it."
The Wire
"For your information..."
The Wire
"I wake up every morning with an angry, blue-veined diamond-cutter."
