Clips from The Wire - Dead Soldiers (S03E03)

"What about COMSTAT, boss? They'll rip you."
The Wire
"There's five months to my 30, right?"
The Wire
"The major no doubt has some explanation, some excuse, if you will..."
The Wire
"for a weekly felony tabulation that's going in the opposite direction..."
The Wire
"from the other eight districts."
The Wire
"I have none, sir."
The Wire
"it's clear that's not the case."
The Wire
"Major Colvin, I am under the impression crime is down in the Western."
The Wire
"Perhaps you misfigured your felony stats this week."
The Wire
"No, sir. We were very accurate."
The Wire
"Sometimes the gods are uncooperative."
The Wire
"Uncooperative?"
The Wire
"This is a cooperative effort, a cooperative department."
The Wire
"And because of that, we got two fresh homicides in the black..."
The Wire
"and a lot less bodies on the streets than could have been..."
The Wire
"had that drug war been allowed to drag on."
The Wire
"Mayor has me taking the hit in public for the late academy class."
The Wire
"- You're kidding me. - Where's the fucking loyalty, I ask you?"
The Wire
"You're just having a laugh, aren't you, Bunny?"
The Wire
"You got the real stats and projections somewhere else."
The Wire
"Someone's just outside the door with them, right?"
The Wire
"A stripper, maybe? That would be nice."
The Wire
"She comes in, flashes a little tit gives us a whiff of that muff..."
The Wire
"But what I got instead is some half-assed "I wish we were doing better" platitude..."
The Wire
"that's meant to fool maybe a six-year-old girl into thinking you're doing your job."
The Wire
"Well, she's left the room, Major Colvin."
The Wire
"if she can have her job when she grows up..."
The Wire
"because she sure as shit doesn't want yours."
The Wire
"You know why?"
The Wire
"Because there isn't gonna be a goddamn Western District in 20 years..."
The Wire
"if this shit keeps up."
The Wire
"I don't care how many years you have on this job."
The Wire
"If the felony rate doesn't fall, you most certainly will."
The Wire
"The gods are fucking you, you find a way to fuck them back."
The Wire
"It's Baltimore, gentlemen. The gods will not save you."
The Wire
"She look like a player?"
The Wire
"Bystander?"
The Wire
"Come on, let's go."
The Wire
"Right in the middle of it all if she was."
The Wire
"- Yo, my turn to be Omar. - No. Give it to me."
The Wire
"Look, I'm telling you, I was there."
The Wire
"and Apex just standing over his ass..."
The Wire
"White folks look up at Apex, say, "Bitch, that the best you got?""
The Wire
"Man, I'm just saying..."
The Wire
"- You want me, boss? - Your numbers way down, Fruit. Way down."
The Wire
"Man, it's Barksdale's people."
The Wire
"They clipping the dope fiends coming up Fremont."
The Wire
"You know, when I ran a shop and my numbers dropped..."
The Wire
"- Yeah, I hear that. - I just want them moved."
The Wire
"Take the young 'uns with you, give them a workout."
The Wire
"So, Lieutenant, you got an "attaboy" from the Deputy today, huh?"
The Wire
"It cost me my wiretap, though."
The Wire
"Still, it's good work over in the Eastern."
The Wire
"Knocking down a drug war."
The Wire
"Yeah, he's gonna do the same thing for me up on Park Heights."
The Wire
"I got this Kintel Williamson character who needs some fixing."
The Wire
"And Rawls promised me Daniels and his unit for about a month or so."
The Wire
"You're getting quite the rep there, kiddo."
The Wire
"So, Stan, what's your plan for the Southeast?"
The Wire
"How you gonna give Rawls his numbers?"
The Wire
"I don't know. Flex squads on the corners..."
The Wire
"foot patrols in the Perkins Homes, overtime out the ass."
The Wire
"And if that don't work, cheat on the stats."
The Wire
"Shit, me? I'm going to 12-hour shifts on the weekend, man."
The Wire
"What about you, Bunny?"
The Wire
"I don't know."
The Wire
"I thought I might legalize drugs."
The Wire
"So they hit the goddamn alley. And we on them."
The Wire
"That cocksmoking motherfucker with the big-bitch gun?"
The Wire
"- We was running hard on his ass, but... - I think I hit him."
The Wire
"Yo, String, we hit the one girl."
The Wire
"But after that, man, I ain't seen nobody catch no lead, man."
The Wire
"- Except for Tank. - Yeah, Tank gone."
The Wire
"The other broad dropped him. So I guess we're even now."
The Wire
"- So you get one, right? - Yeah."
The Wire
"That's good. That's like a 40-degree day."
The Wire
"Ain't nobody got nothing to say about a 40-degree day."
The Wire
"Fifty. Bring a smile to your face."
The Wire
"Sixty, shit, niggas is damn near barbecuing on that motherfucker."
The Wire
"Get their blood complaining."
The Wire
"But 40? Nobody give a fuck about 40."
The Wire
"Now, we gonna cover that bitch's funeral, her fucking wake."
The Wire
"We're gonna be all over that motherfucker, till the bitch hit the ground."
The Wire
"Who the fuck you talking to, man?"
The Wire
"It's Donette, String. She been calling."
The Wire
"No, put the phone down."
The Wire
"He show up, we on him like a motherfucking..."
The Wire
"Like a 40-degree day."
The Wire
"So overall, felonies are down."
The Wire
"But murders are still up. What's our next move?"
The Wire
"Let me bump overtime and court pay for homicide and district ops."
The Wire
"Cases go into the green before they go into the black."
The Wire
"Done."
The Wire
"Hey, if you're going to try and dig your way out of this..."
The Wire
"don't make me your shovel."
The Wire
"My department is bringing you casework that goes nowhere."
The Wire
"The cases are thin."
The Wire
"Most wouldn't make it past a prelim in the court of a freshman judge."
The Wire
"Well, maybe if your personnel weren't so goddamn concerned..."
The Wire
"for their goddamn conviction rate, they'd chance a whodunit or two."
The Wire
"For Christ's sake..."
The Wire
"Jesus, at least pretend you're on the same side."
The Wire
"Stephen, you and I are both going to be counting votes this time next year."
The Wire
"Do something to help our sorry asses."
The Wire
"And Erv, if you want to do more than just finish out Walker's term..."
The Wire
"show me something more than just a pass of the buck."
The Wire
"- Mr. Mayor. - All right."
The Wire
"- I'll see you both in here on this next week. - Thank you, sir."
The Wire
"But he's an elected hack, so we're stuck with him."
The Wire
"But Burrell, though. You're vulnerable on crime, Clarence."
The Wire
"- Burrell's got friends. - The ministers?"
The Wire
"You fire Burrell, you get some new blood in here..."
The Wire
"So you're tough on deadwood, huh?"
The Wire
"In the new 11th district, too, I hear."
The Wire
"She's had her time. There are better people out there for the Council."
The Wire
"I value loyalty. Don't you?"
The Wire
"Cole was up, not you."
The Wire
"You're on Dozerman's gun, remember?"
The Wire
"Rawls and Foerster have crawled up into my backside..."
The Wire
"and they're gonna stay there until you find Dozerman's gun."
