"But if he's wrong..."
The Wire
"if he can't convict, or if the Barksdale kid doesn't flip..."
The Wire
"then it's too late to do anything else."
The Wire
"Avon Barksdale changes up his pattern, and the wiretap dies."

The Wire
"You wanted to see me, Major?"
The Wire
"McNulty does personal business on the clock, I want to know."
The Wire
"He runs any kind of game at all, I want to know."

The Wire
"In the alley behind 800 block of Argyle, across from the low-rises."
The Wire
"Can I ask how this young man is able to afford not one..."
The Wire

The Wire
"-Then we take it to Daniels. -Daniels?"
The Wire
"Are you kidding me?"
The Wire
"He's been trying to put the brakes on this for weeks now."
The Wire
"Stay there!"
The Wire
"Oh! You got your hands up."
The Wire
"for 40 cents a foot, you might as well go to Home Depot, pay them."
The Wire
"Look, all right, 35 cents a foot."
The Wire
"I understand the interest in clearing these cases, I do."
The Wire
"You charge these prematurely and Barksdale will change up on us."
The Wire
"Major..."
The Wire
"-Who? -Brandon, my boy."
The Wire
"I could top off with one more."
The Wire
"Take the whole roll and do something nice for your girl."
The Wire

The Wire
"She was selling on the side."
The Wire
"Was they snitching?"
The Wire
"It's a school night. Mom said we had to--"
The Wire
"It's a ground ball down the right-field line."
The Wire
"Why we ain't in a real police office?"
The Wire
"Avon is one sick bastard."
The Wire
"Now, you're going to do what you're going to do."

"-I'm your man. -You saw the murder?"
The Wire
"and testify against one of Barksdale's people?"
The Wire
"You're dancing around this thing."
The Wire
"throw a little mindfuck at him and the case becomes stronger."
The Wire
"we roll Little Boy Barksdale into Big Boy Barksdale..."
The Wire
"We lose nothing."
The Wire
"-Little late in the month for this shit, isn't it? -What you mean?"

The Wire
"to leverage Barksdale through a murder prosecution."
The Wire
"That wasn't right."
The Wire
"Juvenile judge, man."
The Wire
"I'm trying to build something here. Rawls just sticks a finger in my eye."
The Wire
"He knows you don't have a viable prosecution..."
The Wire
"-You talk to Landsman? -Jay can't fix this."
