"I'm gonna need those surveillance teams as this thing sprawls."
The Wire
"For now, let me pull this guy's ID as fast as I can. Figure what he's about."
The Wire
"- After that, I'll have more to spin off. - Voice analysis of the call?"
The Wire
"Shit, I don't believe in that shit."
The Wire
"Next thing I know, you'll want me to go to Quantico with this fucking thing."
The Wire
"As a matter of fact..."
The Wire
"I don't believe in much of anything at this point."
The Wire
"It doesn't fucking matter what any of us believe at this point."
The Wire
"They're finally paying for police work again."
The Wire
"Proud of yourselves?"
The Wire
"We're close to Marlo. A week or two at most."
The Wire
"How does it feel getting Greggs pulled off her triple?"
The Wire
"and District units, and Tactical, all of 'em chasin' bullshit."
The Wire
"We're gonna use the surveillance teams. They'll help us bring in the case."
The Wire
"I don't even want to know whose picture you got running in the paper,"
The Wire
"or where that motherfucker actually happens to be..."
The Wire
"Names and addresses, whatever you got."
The Wire
"Shit."
The Wire
"Don't worry, son. I got you covered on all this."
The Wire
"I'm getting my kid for an overnight."
The Wire
"Where do I get kids' furniture?"
The Wire
"- Trace lab. - It's Moreland."
The Wire
"You just called."
The Wire
"I know, and I'm callin' again."
The Wire
"I know, he hasn't been around to it yet."
The Wire
"until he feels my fucking pain, all right?"
The Wire
"Gift-wrapped."
The Wire
"Number one."
The Wire
"Fuck."
The Wire
"How the fuck do they expect me to get this shit done on my own?"
The Wire
"Broke-ass department ain't even payin'."
The Wire
"You OK?"
The Wire
"It's fucked up. It's all fucked up, OK?"
The Wire
"I could make a red go to black 'cept for these cheap motherfuckers."
The Wire
"What do you got?"
The Wire
"Good snitch put the finger on an eyeball wit been duckin' me."
The Wire
"He lays up at this one girl's place at Athol Avenue, right?"
The Wire
"Comes in late, but he leaves early."
The Wire
"So?"
The Wire
"So I don't mind sittin' on the place all night long an' not get paid."
The Wire
"But it's a garden apartment. Parking lots on both sides,"
The Wire
"and if he decides to park on the street and walk across the grass,"
The Wire
"Two more men do it?"
The Wire
"Let me make a call, hook you up with two Tac guys."
The Wire
"You tell 'em you're sitting on a 20 that I gave you."
The Wire
"- I'll write up the hours under my file. - And you can do that?"
The Wire
"Go with God."
The Wire
"Can you make out who that is?"
The Wire
"Look at you."
The Wire
"Not even blinking."
The Wire
"after what this heinous motherfucker did to you."
The Wire
"Still, this right here is vicious."
The Wire
"I mean, whoever did this had a real time."
The Wire
"Now, I know it wasn't you,"
The Wire
"because with all due respect"
The Wire
"you don't have the physicality to do this kind of damage."
The Wire
"I mean, whoever did this"
The Wire
"had to be a full-grown and powerful individual -"
The Wire
"a fearsome individual."
The Wire
"You see what I'm sayin'?"
The Wire
"You the murder police. How the fuck would I know?"
The Wire
"Goddamn Pulitzers."
The Wire
"It works as a sidebar, but for tomorrow, let's stretch it some, huh?"
The Wire
"What I mean is, sometimes, the weakest stuff in a story"
The Wire
"is the shit with quotation marks around it."
The Wire
"You got a guy telling how rough it is on the street, it really doesn't have much pull."
The Wire
"But if you can describe him as he really is, tell his story in moments..."
The Wire
"and just be with folk."
The Wire
"I'm not interested in what can be quoted or counted on this one."
The Wire
"I'm interested in what feels true."
The Wire
"- We're coming up on first edition. - Three minutes."
The Wire
"We had him in that, what do you call it,"
The Wire
"- rehabilitation. - Four times."
The Wire
"We're not rich people."
The Wire
"Henry's on disability."
The Wire
"We get him out, he makes all kinds of promises,"
The Wire
"I'm sorry."
The Wire
"The last time,"
The Wire
"we decided we wouldn't be there for him."
The Wire
"We knew he'd probably die out there,"
The Wire
"if the drugs get him, we knew that."
The Wire
"But this thing in the newspaper, this sex stuff,"
The Wire
"Jesus, nobody deserves that."
The Wire
"You see what I have a problem with, right?"
The Wire
"It's essential."
The Wire
"But this business about him being out there day and night with the homeless,"
The Wire
"I mean, this stuff about sharing their "darkest corners with them,""
The Wire
"He's writing more as an essayist."
The Wire
"We've got a column from Olesker, front metro."
The Wire
"I mean, it's pretty powerful without being purple."
The Wire
"But this stuff that Scott's written,"
The Wire
"it makes it sound like he's been living with the homeless for weeks."
The Wire
"I mean, we have him interviewed about the call from the killer in Alma's mainbar,"
The Wire
"we have his quotes. But the rest of this stuff,"
The Wire
"he's acting like he's taking his life in his hands,"
The Wire
"he walks another highway at night?"
The Wire
"I respect your concerns."
The Wire
"OK."
The Wire
"And while they declined to talk on camera,"
The Wire
"the parents of Jonathan Boland say they are hopeful"
The Wire
"that the renewed attention to their son's death a few years ago"
The Wire
"will lead police to his killer."
The Wire
"Media's going crazy."
The Wire
"But for once, we're getting what we need to do the job."
The Wire
"- How does it feel? - Forbidden."
The Wire
"I feel like they're gonna find out how much we're spending and shut us down."
The Wire
"You don't have all this in your head yet?"
The Wire
"We finish voir dire by lunch, and then it's opening arguments."
The Wire
"- For Mr. Bond. It's on him. - He needs a strong second."
The Wire
"He needs me to know this case inside and out."
The Wire
"How much longer, Lester?"
The Wire
"If Marlo has a code, we can break the code. That's a given."
The Wire
"Landsman wants me to go to fucking Quantico,"
The Wire
"let the FBI do a profile."
The Wire
"Might learn something about yourself."
The Wire
"It's not funny, Lester."
The Wire
"This shit's bigger than I ever thought it would be."
The Wire
"Yeah, Jay."
The Wire
"No."
The Wire
"to help with a canvass near this guy's corners."
