"Didn't the governor scrap the emergency medical and housing program last year?"
The Wire
"What was it, TEMHA?"
The Wire
"It's worse than that: He froze eligibility by disallowing new applications,"
The Wire
"So we slam the Republican for sticking it to the poor."
The Wire
"It plays. Nationally, you're taking up the cause of the forgotten..."
The Wire
"And no one is ever in favor of homelessness..."
The Wire

The Wire
"Homelessness."
The Wire
"- Base to 2306. - Go ahead, Lester."
The Wire
"- You see anybody using a cellphone? - Wait one."
The Wire
"Lester?"
The Wire
"True, but you'd be surprised what you can get done when no one's looking."
The Wire
"You'll need to serve these. Running out of time."
The Wire
"I'll get right on it."
The Wire
"There's a couple of loose ends we should cover as well."

"Right. But it's..."
The Wire
"- Is it something I said? - No..."
The Wire
"Sydnor is bringing in a CI. And if you're here..."

"to get somebody that riled at him."
The Wire
"Unless, of course, it was over you."
The Wire
"You sayin' I know somethin' about that?"
The Wire
"Lady, let's put our cards on the table."
The Wire
"A murder like this, there's a woman at the center of it."
The Wire
"I don't know nothin'."
The Wire
"You know my gut tells me that you do."
The Wire
"We're gonna take a ride downtown, let you talk to the grand jury."
The Wire
"You're not straight with them, they'll give you a material witness warrant."

The Wire
"It ain't me you wanna talk to."
The Wire
"It's the boy, he know."
The Wire
"You gotta believe me."
The Wire
"He told me Devar wasn't comin' home, 'fore we even knowed he was dead."
The Wire
"You said he's runnin' with them? Runnin' with who?"
The Wire
"Chris, Snoop, all them gangsters. Who else doin' all the killin' around here?"
The Wire
"Let me see your camera."
The Wire
"Single ring. Connection. Silence."
The Wire
"What do you have?"
The Wire
"What time did Monk leave?"
The Wire
"1:24. Two minutes later."
The Wire
"It's not what Marlo's sayin', it's what he's sendin'."
The Wire
"- Look at Monk. - Yeah. Text message."
The Wire
"Text? Need I remind you, Detective,"
The Wire
"these young men are products of Baltimore City schools."
The Wire
"Besides, look how far away he's holding his phone. Too far away to be reading a text."
The Wire
"Nah, son. Pictures."
The Wire
"What the fuck you lookin' at?"
The Wire
"You know what they do, right? They tease you."
The Wire
"They let you get close and just when you're about to pull the case,"
The Wire
"they rip the fuckin' rug out from under you."
The Wire
"I'm not lying. We got a fuckin' serial killer on the loose."
The Wire
"You didn't know that?"
The Wire
"It's in the goddamn paper."
The Wire
"What support do I get? One fuckin' detective."
The Wire
"They wanna play their simple-ass games, fine. But I gotta do what I gotta do."
The Wire
"Yeah, Oscar."
The Wire
"Beautiful."
The Wire
"Man, you can't let it get to you like this."
The Wire
"You ain't hearin' me. How can I go near my people with Omar on us?"
The Wire
"How he gonna find out about them?"
The Wire
"Get."
The Wire
"You too, shorty."
The Wire
"Omar! It's Omar!"
The Wire
"Money a little late today."
The Wire
"That buckshot in your leg should help you explain yourself to Marlo."
The Wire
"As for them other two they gonna wish that I'd peppered them a bit."
The Wire
"Now you make sure you tell old Marlo I burned the money."
The Wire
"'Cause it ain't about that paper."
The Wire
"It's about me hurtin' his people, messin' with his world."
The Wire
"You tell him that!"
The Wire
"My sergeant and two side partners got here before me."
The Wire
"Then the shift commander showed. Now the duty officer is on his way."
The Wire
"For a DOA?"
The Wire
"Now a DOA call brings everyone in a heartbeat."
The Wire
"God bless."
The Wire
"- Pictures? - Photographs on cellphones."
The Wire
"Now that means new PC to capture the photos"
The Wire
"and new equipment that could do it."
The Wire
"How do I write that into my bullshit homeless killer's MO?"
The Wire
"When we started this, you said all we needed were some bugs,"
The Wire
"So I went along, I got you the wiretap."
The Wire
"I mean, what the fuck?"
The Wire
"but I can see why Daniels cringed every time you opened your fucking mouth."
The Wire
"You're a supervisor's nightmare."
The Wire
"I'm just following the thread."
The Wire
"Say we get you the intercept on your pictures, will that give us Marlo?"
The Wire
"It'll be coded, probably, but I'm sure we can break it."
The Wire
"That'll tell us how they do business,"
The Wire
"and usually, that's enough."
The Wire
"Or not."
The Wire
"just staying on a couple of mopes and monitoring calls."
The Wire
"Now, when we're up on their code,"
The Wire
"we're gonna need more manpower to run down a stash or a re-up."
The Wire
"- We can't do it all. - I can't juke this thing any more than I have."
The Wire
"Last night, half the police department turned up"
The Wire
"at Oscar's crime scene before I could get there."
The Wire
"Second tour fucked me up good. But they don't wanna hear it."
The Wire
"Who doesn't?"
The Wire
"Mostly, it's command and the senior EMS."
The Wire
"They put it down that marines don't get P.T.S.D."
The Wire
"But they do."
