"Bartlow with a "B"?"
The Wire
""Part," like white people got in their hair."
The Wire
"- And "low," like a low-bottom dope fiend. - Partlow."
The Wire
"- Yeah, what I said. - So he's Marlo's muscle."
The Wire
"They say..."
The Wire
"- How much is that worth? - $5, if I can work up a photo ID."
The Wire
"The boy, Fruit, he used that."
The Wire
"Fruit who runs one of Marlo's corners?"
The Wire
"- Careful, it's got prints. - Prints, huh? Look at you..."
The Wire
"getting all CSI on me and shit."
The Wire
"Now, a burner with prints, that's gotta mean cash money, right?"
The Wire
"And if I show you where Marlo hides his Mercedes?"
The Wire
"Benz would go for $15."
The Wire
"You killing me out here, girl."
The Wire
"All right. $25 for the Benz."
The Wire
"You good peoples."
The Wire
"- Here, bank that for me. - Bank it? For what?"
The Wire
"a couple of times before they chuck them."
The Wire
"So I'm thinking, while I'm out here working for y'all, I get my ends up..."
The Wire
"sell them shirts on the corner. I'll make my nut coming and going."
The Wire
"Truthfully, I don't know what more you could have done."
The Wire
"Charlie's right, boss."
The Wire
"- You tried. - Fucking hoodleheads won't cooperate."

"Shift commander, call the front desk."
The Wire
"You guys are some lying sacks of shit."
The Wire
"- I'm saying, sir... - I'm guessing..."
The Wire
"that you have some thoughts on where we should go from here."
The Wire
"Well, sir, we were thinking a modified zebra operation."
The Wire
"Jump-outs rotating from sector to sector, combined with a zero-tolerance approach."
The Wire
"We detail a couple of men from each shift, build a flex unit..."
The Wire
"- More of the same, you mean. - But better."
The Wire
"Better?"
The Wire
"Better than nothing."
The Wire
"Man, they gave us 15 cases of legal..."
The Wire
"but they shorted us on the colored bonds. What's going on there?"
The Wire
"I got this."
The Wire
"- Officer. - Detective, String."
The Wire
"You remember. Bird trial. Detective McNulty."
The Wire
"- Anything I can do to help, you know. - I ain't seen you around the way."
The Wire
"I'm not around the way no more. You wanna find me, I'm right here."
The Wire
"This and some real estate I'm working on is all."
The Wire
"You know, more than enough to occupy me, really."
The Wire
"- Say, where you living, man? - Where am I living?"
The Wire
"Well, if you thinking of coming downtown..."
The Wire
"You say the word, I'm gonna hook you up something nice down there..."
The Wire
"by the Hippodrome. Loft apartments. Real nice."
The Wire
"You disappoint me, String. I had such fucking hopes for us."
The Wire
"Have a nice day, Officer."
The Wire
"You see this shit?"
The Wire
"Remember that kid who got shot in the parking lot..."
The Wire
"- in an alleyway, bunch of holes in him. - And?"
The Wire
"What do you mean, "And?" You're talking about a state's witness."
The Wire
"You let a witness get killed in a high-profile case like this, it says..."
The Wire
""The city's broke and can't be fixed.""
The Wire
"- Sounds like we found an issue. - No, fuck the politics for a minute."
The Wire
"You know, this is something we all need to be on the same page with."
The Wire
"I'm serious, Tony."
The Wire
"You gonna go public and bang the Mayor with it?"
The Wire
"You gonna bang Burrell and the state's attorney then?"
The Wire
"I ain't gonna bang nobody."
The Wire
"But there is a problem here, and I'm gonna do something to fix it."
The Wire
"You want your cape and the little red underpants..."
The Wire
"or you stash that shit in the phone booth?"
The Wire
"I always wondered about that."
The Wire
"- Man, I'd like a piece of that. - You'd like any piece at all."
The Wire
"- Nigga, I'd like a piece of your mother. - Yo, stop fucking around."
The Wire
"I ain't started that shit."
The Wire
"Yo, now she got our boy with his nose wide open."
The Wire
"He's stealing from us, and she most likely the reason for it."
The Wire
"Hey, where you going?"
The Wire
"Man made a date, got to keep."

The Wire
"is charged with deterring the theft of autos..."
The Wire
"when do you work?"
The Wire
"Your position is clear. You effect more arrests of car thieves..."
The Wire
"during the daylight than at night."
The Wire
"You see, our ears work. We heard you."
The Wire
"But the question becomes, why the fuck can't you hear us?"
The Wire
"Sir, I don't..."
The Wire
"The Commissioner is attempting..."
The Wire
"to move this department from the Dark Ages into the 21st century."
The Wire
"That means preventing crime by relying on computer-generated data..."
The Wire
"not on your fly-by-your-fucked-up-ass instinct."
The Wire
"Give me the auto-theft numbers for downtown parking lots..."
The Wire
"on Friday nights."
The Wire
"Sir, I have to check that."
The Wire
"Where are we with the gun?"
The Wire
"Colonel, I was made to understand..."
The Wire

The Wire
"Fecal gravity."
The Wire

"Cutty then."
The Wire
"So it's just gonna be us here?"
The Wire
"- You know, I mean, Grace... - Sister Grace called on your behalf..."
The Wire
"but to my knowledge, she didn't plan to be here."
The Wire
"She's a beautiful woman."
The Wire
"A man might say things he didn't mean to stand closer to a woman like that."
The Wire
"You're in the job market though, I understand."
The Wire
"You got a high-school diploma, GED?"
The Wire
"I worked in a warehouse for a couple of months..."
The Wire
"back in, like, '86."
The Wire
"Maybe get me some jobs or put my name on a list or something."
The Wire
"I don't know."
The Wire
"You want a job, you're gonna have to work to get it."
The Wire
"With that said, then, the first thing is to get you enrolled in a GED program."
The Wire
"This ain't how I thought it was gonna play."
The Wire
"Me, Oscar, a bunch of the guys..."
The Wire
"we seen it."
The Wire
"Couldn't help it."
The Wire
"They practically ran right past us."
The Wire
"And the victim, the girl, had a gun."
The Wire
"Couldn't tell. They weren't doing slow motion."
The Wire
"- Just Omar. - So you know Omar?"
