"to condemn the properties for the renewal project."
The Wire
"He gives you Avon Barksdale, Stringer Bell."
The Wire
"and making the politicians the primary target?"
The Wire
"No one's saying they walk."
The Wire
"What you are saying is that if we bring you the case..."
The Wire
"it's your intention to let Barksdale and Bell reduce any sentence..."
The Wire
"That kind of hyperbole doesn't serve anyone, detective."
The Wire
"I think we're going with a different direction on this."
The Wire
"But, all the way out here...."
The Wire
"Yeah, a message needs sending."
The Wire
"You know, he's always talking family."
The Wire
"It ain't right."
The Wire
"that mean you got to step up and fill his shoes."
The Wire
"this whole family would be down in the fucking Terrace..."
The Wire
"Without your own child, even?"
The Wire
"What's up, Lieutenant?"
The Wire
"we run the bug up into Barksdale's club office..."
The Wire
"You see it?"
The Wire
"and I see that one of my people is at the academy for in-service."
The Wire
"with 1 1 or 1 2 uniforms looking to you for everything."
The Wire
"And some of them are going to be good police."
The Wire
"Some of them are going to be young and stupid."
The Wire
"and there was a piece-of-shit lieutenant hoping to be a captain..."

The Wire
"You all know that Baltimore city jurors are capable of just about anything."
The Wire
"half-said telephone conversations and see how well you do..."
The Wire
"All of which stops way short of Mr. Barksdale."

"Representing Mr. Brice..."
The Wire
"No, indeed."
The Wire
"I believe Mr. Brice is ready to take sole responsibility..."
The Wire
"for all of his crimes."
The Wire
"and Stringer Bell stays on the street with his hand on the throttle."

The Wire
"You think I'm kidding. This is what makes cases, gentlemen."
The Wire
"Nicely done."
The Wire
"Ain't nobody been through here."
The Wire
"Yeah, listen, listen to me."
The Wire
"If you remember these few rules..."
The Wire

The Wire
"Yeah, body found up behind the reptile house in Druid Hill."
The Wire
"How'd he tell it?"
The Wire
"-Boom. -He said a contact wound?"

"Sure. Wee-Bey."
The Wire
"All right."
The Wire
"Let me tell you where we're coming from with the shooters."
The Wire
"We tracked their escape route, and Landsman came up with their hoodies."
The Wire
"human hair from one of the hoodies to Wee-Bey."
The Wire
"Freamon, he tracked a call from the pay phone..."
The Wire
"Crime lab, they lift a print..."
The Wire
"off a soda can near that phone, and that matches Little Man."
The Wire
"You know, so, you know, I'm saying...."
The Wire
"We don't have the guns..."
The Wire
"no prints from the scene, no witnesses."
