"I'll be back."
The Wire
"Why don't you just leave me alone, man?"
The Wire
"Profiling!"
The Wire
"Oh, man, what the fuck's that? What's that?"
The Wire
"-Hey. -Hey."
The Wire
"You know what you should do?"
The Wire
"You do have a girl, right?"
The Wire
"-I didn't punk him. -So why are you dropping the lookout?"
The Wire
"Cass, too."
The Wire
"'Cause they was thieving. Both of them."
The Wire
"They got pissed 'cause I wasn't paying them."
The Wire
"So Sterling started shaking up the vials, handing off to Cass."
The Wire
"You didn't tell anybody? Stinkum, Bodie?"
The Wire
"They don't know?"
The Wire
"If I tell them, what you think they're going to do?"
The Wire
"They're going to take a baseball bat to Sterling. Cassandra, too."
The Wire
"It's too much drama, right?"
The Wire
"So, I just took them both off the stash."
The Wire
"So why didn't you pay us?"
The Wire
"You know, with the jump-out, Omar, all that shit."
The Wire
"Sterling and Cass?"
The Wire
"Okay, you two, you sit right here, okay?"
The Wire
"-Dad? -What?"
The Wire
"Runners at second and third, nobody out yet here in the first inning."
The Wire
"Lopez on the mound. The pitch is outside."
The Wire
"64-Charlie to Central K."
The Wire
"You up to this?"
The Wire
"Pay it back, Omar. Pay it back."
The Wire
"Out here on our own, playing the game for ourselves."
The Wire
"Sorry about your friend."
The Wire
"Of course, he had his reasons."
The Wire
"For one thing, you all did take his stash."
The Wire
"That's what all the cigarette burns were about."
The Wire
"The broken fingers and cracked forearms."
The Wire
"He wanted your boy to give you up."
The Wire
"An address, a street."
The Wire
"I know you want to go to wherever it is you lay your head..."
The Wire
"and pick up that sawed-off you like so much, and go on the hunt."
The Wire
"That's how a man like you wants to carry."
The Wire
"But one man with two barrels ain't enough, Omar."
The Wire
"But whatever else you can give us on Barksdale and his people..."
The Wire
"that can go to hurting him, too."
The Wire
"Let me tell you all something, all right?"
The Wire
"Ain't no sense in you all troubling yourselves over that..."
The Wire
"'cause the way I feel right now, today...."
The Wire
"When did you last see Brandon?"
The Wire
"Tuesday around 7:00. Maybe later."
The Wire
"He was on his way down to Mindamin..."
The Wire
"Everybody's talking about he got snatched up from there."
The Wire
"Yeah, he liked to play the pinball games to death."
The Wire
"He go alone?"
The Wire
"Yeah, and I didn't like it none, neither."
The Wire
"But you can only treat a young man like a boy for so long before they book."
The Wire
"Look, in my game..."
The Wire
"you take some kid, you play it the safest way you can."
The Wire
"But it ain't about no hiding forever."
The Wire
"You heard?"
The Wire
"you do the thing on your name."
The Wire
"Anyone going to come after Omar, they know Omar's coming after him."
The Wire
"So, who came after Brandon?"
The Wire
"his boy Stinkum..."
The Wire
"and Bird."
The Wire
"So, what can you give us on the job?"
The Wire
"7:56 Tuesday night, you had an incoming call..."
The Wire
"Three minutes later, we get another call from the low-rises to that number."
The Wire
"Then, a half-minute later, you get another call from the low-rises..."
The Wire
"to a pager we know is Stringer Bell's."
The Wire
"Probably from a pay phone. Probably Stringer Bell calling back."
The Wire
"Coming on into the low-rise courts."
The Wire
"This one from the same pay phone that went to D'Angelo's pager..."
The Wire
"to start the whole thing off. You see that?"
The Wire
"This first number, the one they sent to D'Angelo..."
The Wire
"I'm thinking this comes from a pay phone over by the Greek's."
The Wire
"He's on you."
The Wire
"We're up on those pay phones Tuesday night..."
The Wire
"In this case, we're never where we need to be."
The Wire
"Cops, they handcuffed him?"
The Wire
"What about these guys?"
The Wire
"Were they there with him?"
The Wire
"Okay, thank you, sir. Thank you."
The Wire
"No."
The Wire
"I need help. Rawls ranks me."
The Wire
"Lieutenant, think what you're doing here."
The Wire
"To fight for a case the Deputy of Operations doesn't even want."
The Wire
"No."
The Wire
"In the cemetery, you were telling us that a guy named Bird killed the working man."
The Wire
"-How do you know? -Everybody knows, man."
The Wire
"The whole blessed project saw that much."
The Wire
"And Bird worked for Avon?"
The Wire
"Liked to use this real sweet gun he got."
The Wire
"But I know he loved that gun."
The Wire
"Yeah, a .380. You get him, you get the gun."
The Wire
"He testifies he bought the gun on the street after Gant was killed."
The Wire
"-Okay. -Okay, what?"
The Wire
"Yeah."
The Wire
"You can ID this man, Bird, as the shooter of William Gant?"
The Wire
"Omar don't scare."
The Wire
"playing with beepers and pay phones and body mikes..."
The Wire
"-D'Angelo Barksdale, not Avon. -D'Angelo on behalf of Avon."
The Wire
"The victim is identified by our witnesses as being involved with Avon Barksdale."
The Wire
"Sir, we're developing--"
The Wire
"I'm charging three murders."
The Wire
"You charge those cases, my investigation folds."
The Wire
"Not one of those cases is strong enough for court. You know that."
The Wire
"So we bring the Barksdale kid in..."
The Wire
"The case I charge on today can be twice as strong by the trial date."
The Wire
"We get a conviction..."
The Wire
"then we go home..."
The Wire
"Iike good old-fashioned cops and pound some Budweiser."
The Wire
"This is bullshit!"
The Wire
"It was McNulty who made the ballistics match on these murders..."
The Wire
"and he's telling me to fight this."
The Wire
"so do you, so do l."
The Wire
"Enough."
The Wire
"Look, I've got no love for your wiretap, Lieutenant."
The Wire
"I'm spending $2,000 a day..."
The Wire
"Now, Major Rawls here is offering a chance..."
The Wire
"Why not jump on this?"
The Wire
"Because if Major Rawls is right..."
The Wire
"If the wire doesn't give us a case, he can charge all the murders he has."
