Clips from The Wire - The Cost (S01E01)

"I think you all need to get with Grandma down on the shore."
The Wire
"Christ, yeah, okay. Yeah."
The Wire
"I fuckin' need a fuckin' lawyer."
The Wire
"and look there."
The Wire
"And I checked with Verizon, there's no phone service at that address."
The Wire
"That's a telltale right there."
The Wire
"So what? We try to write a warrant for this place, right?"
The Wire
"-What are you seeing? -No pattern, really."
The Wire
"Except this cluster of old storefronts..."
The Wire
"and warehouses on the west side of downtown."
The Wire
"-Storefronts? -Vacants, usually."
The Wire
"-Detective Pryzbylewski. -What?"
The Wire
"You have a gift for the paper trail."
The Wire
"Tomorrow calls for some street work, though. Are you street ready?"
The Wire
"No gun. Not for this."
The Wire
"in an act of police work involving a criminal suspect..."
The Wire
"actually lost track of them in a crowded municipal market."
The Wire
"You actually want me to limit visitations to afternoons only, and you want..."
The Wire
"It is not a single lapse, Judge."
The Wire
"Mr. McNulty has time and again failed to properly care for the children..."
The Wire
"I have a list of recent events, Your Honor, that justify an order."
The Wire
"Nope."
The Wire
"Nothing?"
The Wire
"If this were possession with intent, I'd be a prosecutor with a plan."
The Wire
"But a domestic order hearing? Your Honor, I'm officially clueless."
The Wire
"All right, listen up, people..."
The Wire
"before you have me make a ruling on an emergency petition..."
The Wire
"everybody here just needs to take a deep breath."
The Wire
"Literally, come on."
The Wire
"of having a civil conversation with Mrs. McNulty?"
The Wire
"-Yes. -Good, then I'm going to lunch."
The Wire
"Let's see when I return if we can't busy this court..."
The Wire
"with something just a little more engaging than the problems of the McNultys."
The Wire
"But the least our people can do..."
The Wire
"is throw down a little something to pay the bondsman."
The Wire
"The other thing is a license transfer application for the liquor board."
The Wire
"They're both backdated and notarized for last week."
The Wire
"What?"
The Wire
"And right now, you ain't that. Sign."
The Wire
"You wanted to be in the game, right?"
The Wire
"Unbelievable. You show up with her?"
The Wire
"Elena, you went for an emergency ex parte."
The Wire
"I grabbed whatever lawyer was standing around."
The Wire
"Let's see, I've got her at the restaurant with you pulling out her chair."
The Wire
"because you're such a fucking gentleman now."
The Wire
"I can't believe you hired Buckman."
The Wire
"Son of a bitch never made a case that counted."
The Wire
"He caught your cheating ass."
The Wire
"Elena, why are we here?"
The Wire
"You can't lose them in a Baltimore market. That's why."
The Wire
"I know the guy. It was a game we were playing."
The Wire
"It was daylight on a crowded street. They could've been following AI Capone."
The Wire
"It would've been fine. Look, Elena, these are my sons."
The Wire
"I love them. Do you hear, I love them."
The Wire
"I love you, too."
The Wire
"Does she know about the detective and the pictures?"
The Wire
"And are the two of you still...."
The Wire
"No."
The Wire
"A little."
The Wire
"Come on, let's make nice for the judge."
The Wire
"We know we have a month more to go and we're not gonna let up."
The Wire
"You ready?"
The Wire
"How much were you using?"
The Wire
"I'm asking if you're gonna be sick in my car."
The Wire
"A cap now and then."
The Wire
"You'll be all right in a day or two. Come on."
The Wire
"This nigger coming or what, man?"
The Wire
"Said he would, if I guaranteed a parley. And I'm here on it."
The Wire
"I'm doing like one of them marriage counselors."
The Wire
"Charge by the hour to tell some fool he need to bring some flowers home."
The Wire
"Then charge another hour telling the bitch..."
The Wire
"Speaking of cocksuckers."
The Wire
"All right. You all both here on my guarantee, so respect that shit and say what you feel."
The Wire
"I'm up out of here."
The Wire
"My man say, "Tell that motherfucker that..."
The Wire
""if he can find a way not to dip in our pockets..."
The Wire
"So, y'all think after what you did to Brandon we supposed to find some even on this?"
The Wire
"I don't know shit about shit, all right? I'm just the messenger."
The Wire
"Whatever, man."
The Wire
"You know there's dead on both sides, right?"
The Wire
"But the truth be told, there be more soldiers on one half than the other."
The Wire
"Look here, son, you tell Barksdale..."
The Wire
"But as for his product, a man's got to earn a living, you know?"
The Wire
"I don't know nobody called Barksdale, B."
The Wire
"The man I'm talking about can't have his shit taken like that. That won't do."
The Wire
"-$5,000 ifyou can keep quiet about it. -Send my money through Joe, man."
The Wire
"-Why don't you tell my man where you at-- -No."
The Wire
"I'll be in touch, homes."
The Wire
""I don't know no one named Barksdale.""
The Wire
"Shit."
The Wire
"Still, we got him tied to the Brandon killing."
The Wire
"Did what I could for y'all."
The Wire
"You sure, right?"
The Wire
"Yeah, I spent a summer here when I was nine."
The Wire
"When was the last time they saw you?"
The Wire
"-What's that? -What?"
The Wire
"-He try to go in my pockets again? -This nigger is talking about $5,000, B."
The Wire
"Shit."
The Wire
"What's up, baby?"
The Wire
"Antwon said to bring these up. You want anything else?"
The Wire
"No, we cool."
The Wire
"Thank you, you know what I mean?"
The Wire
"Keep them tips, I hope you making them, baby."
The Wire
"Make the motherfucker come down to the towers..."
The Wire
"All right? Northwestern. So you all can't stay with me on this...."
The Wire
"-Bring it. -Come on, Kima."
The Wire
"-Okay, you see? -I'm with you."
The Wire
"Look at Tanya. And she run a damn art gallery."
The Wire
"Can't hold a liquor."
The Wire
"And if you ask me, I guess we..."
The Wire
"Don't go there, Officer. Don't go there."
The Wire
"Kima, how did you know you wanted to be a cop?"
The Wire
"I mean, how did you choose that?"
The Wire
"When you were little, did you think about it at all, or...."
The Wire
"I remember when I was in the Northeast, still field-training as a cadet."
The Wire
"I didn't know if I was gonna stick with it or not."
The Wire
"And then we got this one call."
The Wire
"We chased this purse-snatcher up into these apartments."
The Wire
"Shit, I ain't even no police yet."
The Wire
"You know, I'm just a trainee. And I'm alone."
