"Nothing sloppy, no troubles, right?"
The Wire
"No."
The Wire
"until payday, 'cause you know, right now, we some broke-ass niggers, man."
The Wire
"Right now, whoever did our girl..."
The Wire
"also did Boyd and Leggett a month earlier."
The Wire
"-Leggett. -And those two are definitely..."
The Wire
"No mention of Dee in either file."
The Wire
"But I did get a fresh number..."
The Wire
"The girl who called in on Kresson."
The Wire
"Have you seen this?"
The Wire
"Jaybird."
The Wire
"And the bear said, "You didn't really come here to hunt now, did you?""
The Wire
"-You see Saturday's 24s? -Sunday morning."
The Wire
"Did you see the one Worden got on the Westside?"
The Wire
"John Bailey, in a Kevlar vest, lit up by three separate shooters."
The Wire
"Carey Street."
The Wire
"Worden's on the other shift. I'm trying to work my murders, Jesus Christ."
The Wire
"What took you so long?"
The Wire
"You might've heard, we get a few murders here in Baltimore..."
The Wire
"-You weren't followed here? -Why would we be followed?"
The Wire
"Diedre was playing with scary people."
The Wire
"Who might that be?"
The Wire
"You called this in after the murder and you told the detective..."
The Wire
"that you talked to her the night she was killed."
The Wire
"She called. It was late."
The Wire
"She didn't talk long, she said she had to go. Dee was at the door."
The Wire
"No, Dee was his nephew or something."
The Wire
"Dee would be D'Angelo Barksdale."
The Wire
"And the boyfriend, Avon Barksdale?"
The Wire
"You know Avon?"
The Wire
"You out there running the street with the players?"
The Wire
"I used to be..."
The Wire
"but not after this thing with Diedre. I mean, damn."
The Wire
"We used to go to Odell's for ladies' nights..."
The Wire
"and one time he was there with all his people in one of the big booths..."
The Wire
"ordering drinks, acting like he was king of everything."
The Wire
"And Diedre ate that shit up."
The Wire
"I did the club thing for a while, but..."
The Wire
"some of those places, everybody in there's on some kind of game."
The Wire
"But Diedre went with Avon?"
The Wire
"She was with Avon for like a year..."
The Wire
"and something happened. Toward the end, she started getting real possessive..."
The Wire
"and that didn't sit with Avon, 'cause he has other girls, too."
The Wire
"She started bitching on him one minute..."
The Wire
"One time, she threatened to write a letter on him."
The Wire
"Supposed to be some sort of kin to her."
The Wire
"She said that if he dumped her..."
The Wire
"she was gonna tell about the drugs."
The Wire
"-Did she write this letter? -I don't know."
The Wire
"I tried talking to her about the way she was acting, but she wouldn't let it go."
The Wire
"She even had it out with him in his club one night in front of all the people."
The Wire
"What, Avon has a club?"
The Wire
"Orlando's, titty bar."
The Wire
"-Does he own it? -That's what Diedre said."
The Wire
"-Tell me something, man. -What's that?"
The Wire
"Shit."
The Wire
"You try dealing with all these bitches and their problems for a few days."
The Wire
"Get so you'd rather be running a goddamn laundromat out this fucker."
The Wire
"Heard you're doing okay in the Pit."
The Wire
"-Yeah, well. -What, you ain't getting it like that?"
The Wire
"Damn, boy."
The Wire
"You ain't the only one your uncle keeps close."
The Wire
"I know you getting something on this by now."
The Wire
"I'm just the front, clean name for the liquor board."
The Wire
"Is there a problem? That was for the drink before."
The Wire
"It was for this one."
The Wire
"Believe."
The Wire
"You heard Stinkum gonna be coming off the clock, right? Getting a percentage."
The Wire
"Figured you knew."
The Wire
"Excuse me, Orlando, can you help me down here, please?"
The Wire
"Look, he ain't paid for that drink and I took $20 off the bar."
The Wire
"Come on, now, why you gonna do me like this?"
The Wire
"-Shit, girl! -You got to go, get him the fuck outta here."
The Wire
"I ain't done so much as touch your kneecap."
The Wire
"You buying me a drink?"
The Wire
"Can I see you sometime?"
The Wire
"What kind of strip joint has a video camera looking out?"
The Wire
"More to it than the girls, maybe."
The Wire
"he's got the apartment building by Druid Hill Lake..."
The Wire
"and that's just what she knew from what he bragged about to the dead girl."
The Wire
"Nothing like a few property forfeitures to swell the departmental operation budget."
The Wire
"Run the company name through the state corporate charter office."
The Wire
"Also, Homicide picked up one Saturday night. Might be one of ours."
The Wire
"John Bailey, he's a stick-up artist I used to know from the Murphy homes."
The Wire
"He was wearing Kevlar, but it didn't help."
The Wire
"Overkill for a burn bag..."
The Wire
"but about right if he was running with Omar."
The Wire
"Lookit, our buddy."
The Wire
"Ain't like him to be late."
The Wire
"Why you always gotta talk like that, man?"
The Wire
"-What? -"F" this and "f" that."
The Wire
"Don't nobody want to hear them dirty words, man."
The Wire
"Especially coming from such a beautiful mouth."
The Wire
"-I beeped you. -I didn't get it."
The Wire
"714-3432?"
The Wire
"You try it?"
The Wire
"Shit, I'm as surprised as you."
The Wire
"I like word-search puzzles."
The Wire
"Now, take the seven and jump it over the five."
The Wire
"You get three."
The Wire
"Jump the one over the five..."
The Wire
"you get nine."
The Wire
"With four you get six."
The Wire
"a three again..."
The Wire
"and two is eight."
The Wire
"Zero switches with the five."
The Wire
"And that's the code?"
The Wire
"And it works, because it's all about where the buttons are on a phone."
The Wire
"these little yos in the projects wouldn't be able to follow along."
The Wire
"But with this, all you gotta do is jump the five button."
The Wire
"how a phone looks when you look at it."
The Wire
"Your mother keep ragging at me..."
The Wire
"to take him outta here and put him in a private nursing home."
The Wire
"I keep telling her, man, we can't show this legit money yet, man..."
The Wire
"especially since he ain't got no insurance."
The Wire
"Soon, though."
The Wire
"So, you ain't big on coming here, right?"
The Wire
"No."
The Wire
"Tell you something, man..."
The Wire
"you about to see your uncle, you understand me?"
