"thanks."
The Wire
"Oh, boy. Come on, get up! School day. Y'all gonna be late!"

"-One-- -We're not here to talk cases."
The Wire
"In fact, everywhere I go, people say to me:"
The Wire
"-Am I right, Jay? -You are reasonable, sir."
The Wire
"he came in here a couple weeks ago and reasoned with me. Right, Jay?"

"and a propensity to talk out of turn, Jimmy McNulty is a good worker."
The Wire
"-Major, I'm not-- -He's a good-looking kid, huh?"
The Wire
"Do you know what we do here, McNulty?"
The Wire
"What we do here?"
The Wire
"That was one of them.... What is it? A question you don't have to--"
The Wire
"We work murder cases here, as they come in, one at a fucking time."
The Wire
"It's called a rotation."
The Wire
"You're up till you catch one, then you step down, work it for a while..."
The Wire
"someone else steps up."
The Wire
"It's a simple but effective way to do business..."
The Wire
"in a town that has 250 to 300 cases a year."
The Wire
"Yes, sir."
The Wire
"But if someone gets it into his head to leave the rotation..."
The Wire
"it puts an unfair burden on other detectives who have to pick up their casework."
The Wire
"Overworked cops make mistakes."
The Wire
"Mistakes lower the unit-wide clearance rate."
The Wire
"And that can make someone who is otherwise as reasonable as me...."
The Wire
"Unreasonable."
The Wire
"Detective McNulty, I expect to see your ass back here next week..."
The Wire
"Yeah. But I look good, right?"
The Wire
"Wow. You did all this?"
The Wire
"-Burned an egg or two. Ain't no thing. -Yeah?"
