"I mean, we wasn't all that tight, but he was still my nigger."
The Wire
"I think I'm on it. Follow me."
The Wire
"That gat and grip thing over there sells a lot."
The Wire
"-Pink? -Your boy was too fierce for the pink?"
The Wire
"No, he wasn't all that."
The Wire
"But when you stand with a nigger, you stand with him to the end..."
The Wire
"otherwise you ain't nothing yourself."
The Wire
"True that. How did your boy fall?"
The Wire
"Hung himself."
The Wire
"Over at The Cut, strung himself up."
The Wire
"Judge ran wild on his ass, gave him 20."
The Wire
"I guess he couldn't handle all those years, you know?"
The Wire
"It's a weak-ass nigger when you think about it."
The Wire
"But it ain't no reason to drag his name down no further, you know?"
The Wire
"I'll tell you what. Let me get something in strong colors."
The Wire
"Red, black, whatever. But make it look like one of the Towers..."
The Wire
"down on Franklin Terrace. You know, the high-rises."
The Wire
"And put the numbers 221 in big-ass numbers on the front."
The Wire
"All right? He used to have that Fremont Tower for a while."
The Wire
"221, all right. Anything else you want it to say?"
The Wire
"Like what?"
The Wire
""Rest in peace," "In Remembrance," something like that?"
The Wire
"Something that says how you feel about the loss."
The Wire
"Look, man, fuck it, all right? Just...."
The Wire
"Just make sure the Towers look like they do, all right?"
The Wire
"-You cloned a what? -A computer."
The Wire
"We can watch how the cargo comes off the ship in real time..."
The Wire

The Wire
"If Rawls comes walking through here and sees the two of you hunched over..."
The Wire
"playing video games on 14 open murders, he's gonna blow!"
The Wire
"That is exactly why we asked Lt. Daniels..."
The Wire
"to set us up at his off-site, over in the southeast."
The Wire
"They're looking at the dock boys for other shit, drugs mostly."
The Wire
"-Daniels, who used to be in Narcotics? -Yeah."
The Wire
"That was approval, right? He gave approval to go ahead with this."
The Wire
"What's next?"
The Wire
"Next is for us to get them dock boys back to thinking that we've gone away."
The Wire
"I mean, we spooked them right good with that grand jury shit."
The Wire
"If we're gonna set up on them, they need to think..."
The Wire
"How are they gonna think that?"
The Wire
"It ain't."
The Wire
"'Cause I'm the one out here all day taking the chance, right?"
The Wire
"Police roll up into this bitch, it ain't gonna be you that catch no charge."
The Wire
"So, least-wise, the thing you need to do..."
The Wire
"is lay all that good shit down on an even split."
The Wire
"you come past and get paid. That's how I'm at with it."
The Wire
"Hey, Frog."
The Wire
"Come here."
The Wire
"without hurting you deeply..."
The Wire
"first of all, you happen to be white."
The Wire
"I'm talking raised-on-Rapolla-Street white..."

"where your mama used to drag you down to St. Casimir's..."
The Wire
"just like all the other little pisspants on the block."
The Wire
"Second, I'm also white."

The Wire
"and I don't stand around listening to horseshit excuses..."

"Iike my cousin Ziggy, who, by the way..."
The Wire
"is still owed money by you and all your down, street-wise whiggers."
The Wire
"You go in your pocket, come up with $500 in advance..."
The Wire
"and the $210 that you owe to Zig..."
The Wire
"you can work my package."
The Wire
"This is the shit you had out here last week. The dimes that Moochie was slinging?"

The Wire
"Man, fuck him."
The Wire
"He knew when he did that, that we were gonna be in a moment like this, right now."
The Wire
"He knew that."
The Wire
"That nigger did that shit to hurt me, man."
The Wire
"But, you know, man, D was just fucking weak."
The Wire
"I tried to crimp him along since he was a shorty, nigger."
The Wire
"Man, it's sad, what happened. That shit is sad."
The Wire
"You know, he get to thinking he can't do the years in here..."
The Wire
"he might've could've rolled again. Who knows?"
The Wire
"I'm just saying..."
The Wire
"it might've been for the best, you know?"
The Wire
"His name is Head. Dick Head."
The Wire
"-Fellows. -We need a bug."
The Wire
"Something that can stand up to the pressures..."
The Wire
"of the modern urban crime environment."
The Wire
"And it's got a clear channel. Sturdy as hell."

The Wire
"-Let me consult my partner. -Of course."
The Wire
"You got a credit card?"
The Wire
"and we ain't no higher up on the ladder and on those corners."

"I gave your man some room, that's all."
The Wire
"Det. Moreland's target looks to be the same as yours."
The Wire
"-No. -Yes."

"It's win-win for me."
The Wire
"-No. -Come on, Lieutenant."
The Wire
"A good turn here will not be forgotten."
The Wire
"I'm trying to dig myself out of the basement with something simple and clean here."
