Yeah, that damned Cheese...the real holder of all L's,I didn't see the betrayal coming. I didn't see what Joe did to build up enough resentment that Cheese would line him up like that. I also didn't see Slim having enough loyalty to Joe to hit Cheese like that, either.


Yours is McNulty and Bodie....laughing at what happened to Officer Walker.

Don't know if you've heard about or seen the "The Night of" series on HBO...but a few Wire alum are in it.

One is shown doing exactly what he was on his way to doing on the show.....the other the complete opposite.


"Bottom of his shoes are scuffed from walking over all the dead soldiers. Wanna know if a fiend is for real, check the bottom of his shoes"

With Cheese it was straight up greed I think. He wanted to get in tighter with Marlo's crew so he sold out Prop Joe. I really didn't see it coming when Slim killed Cheese, but I guess he learned a lot from Joe.. I always liked the fact that it seemed like Slim was the one on top when it was all said and done. He was definitely a solid dude.

I've seen The Night Of.. Pretty good mini-series. I wanna say Bodie would never have testified like his character in The Night Of, but now I remember that he was actually going to testify against Marlo.

Anyway, your quote is definitely Bubs.

"So what's my role in your little drama? "

"I thought you might broker a meeting, you know. Help your fearless leader see the light about his new friend on the council."

"And I should tell him what? Make nice or invest heavily in petroleum jelly?"

"Hey. His ass, his choice."

no clue...

That's Carcetti and Valchek talking about Burrell. Interesting to me how Burrell seemed to know the political side of things so well but let Carcetti use him.. Then again he was doing anything to keep the pressure off the high crime in Season 3.

"I passed the bar this week"

"Congratulations. Most of the guys I work with have a problem with that"

"With what?"

"Passing the bar"

Kima said the 2nd & 4th line, but I don't remember who she was responding to.

Yup.. The other person is her ex's new girlfriend.. You probably only see her that once but I always liked that line. You're up Gets.

guy approaches a drug dealer

guy 1"What you got?"

guy 2 "blue tops. You up?"

guy 1"nah, not me"

That's Poot following Wallace around to see what he's been copping.

"Am I wearing a tool belt? Do I look like one of those fuckin jerkoffs in aisle 5 of the Home fuckin Depot?"

Landsman to Freamon, when Freamon is pushing to open the vacants and search for people that Marlo ordered killed.
(speaking of Home Depot..the next time you watch the Snoop at Home Depot scene, note the bootleg name they give the store instead of just calling it Home Depot)



"I wanna make sure you land on your feet. Now, where don't you want to go?"

Lol the hardware barn. I never noticed that. That's Rawls to McNulty, think he said the same shit to Lester too.

"You've lost your fucking mind. Look at you, half-lit every third night, dead drunk every second.. Nut deep in random pussy.."

Bunk to McNulty. Now that scene puzzled me because, and I don't recall the timing, but when Mcnulty was not drinking and whoring ,Bunk gave him a drunk speech about "being who you really are" and they used the "lake trout" as an example of something being named what it it is NOT.
It's like Bunk was mad when Jimmy was sober and happy, and then got upset when Jimmy was back drunk and chasing women.


"Get this Payless shoe wearing MFer out of here.I'll hire my own lawyer!"

i think he just figured jimmy was bullshitting, as did most people it seemed like.

your quote is d'angelo talking about levy, which is funny since levy was definitely paid than a motherfucker.

"You don't think I'm gonna send any of my people at (character name)? Shit, he got more bodies on him than a Chinese cemetary"

The character he was mentioning was Brother.....as in Brother Mouzone.....said by Prop Joe. I can recall 2 scenes where Joe was shook talking about Brother....once with String and once with Cheese. Your quote is from the scene with Stringer.

cop" Are you Little Kevin?"
guy"Do I look little to you?"

Lol that's Herc and of course Little Kevin.

Couple things I'm picking up after rewatching the series, I don't know too many people that watch the Wire in real life so I got nowhere else to put these lol.

When Omar robs the card game Marlo is at, Joe later tells Marlo that the guys working the security didn't feel like they were getting paid enough so he implies they set it up. I absolutely don't see Marlo just giving those guys a pass if he thinks they were in on setting him up, surprised none of them got killed.

Also, when Lester finally caught Marlo, he didn't put 2 and 2 together that he was being supplied by the Greeks? I know Marlo's downfall capped the series, but no one on the police force seemed to give all those European guys that got busted at the warehouse a second thought.

Anyway, back to business.

"I just stepped in dog shit"

"... You hope"

Don't worry,Rollin. The Wire is like a cult hit really. People know about the show and might have watched a few episodes or seasons but it was never a big hit. Very few hardcore Wire fans.



You're right,Joe said he knew the robbery was coming and why when he was trying to trick Marlo into joining the co-op.Marlo DEFINITELY would have put Chris on those bodyguards. As Bodie said, Marlo kills people because he can. I think his pride took a major hit when Omar added insult to injury by putting gun on him and taking the ring. Funny when you think about it, the pot had to have been at least 300 thousand, but Omar wants the ring too.JUST to F with Marlo.Made him hold that L in front of a room of other kingpins. I think he saw red after that and just wanted to hit Omar.

I also agree with what you wrote about them dropping the ball on the Greek and Vondas. Gonna go back and watch to see if the cops ever mentioned them by name after they got away in Season 2. I forgot that the cops did nab some European guys after seeing Marlo's people pick up from them.Season 5 was sloppy writing.

oh...yours is the nondescript young Black cop whose name I always forget speaking to McNulty. He became the new Mcnulty when the show ended.



1"What!? A west side guy can make a sale without sticking a gun in a fiend's face?"

2" Yeah, and get used to it because y'all ain't selling shit until we bone ass dry"

1"Alright, you cottage cheese chest MFer"

Yeah, Sydnor. He was pretty damn generic until it got towards the end now that you mention it.

Yours is Bodie and Cheese. Always got a chuckle outta that line. Cheese was good comic relief.

"There ain't no "back in the day"! Ain't no nostalgia to this shit here! There's just the street, and the game, and what happen here today."

Rollin,
Yeah, his "twin" was Dozerman, the young White nondescript cop.

He and Sydnor were like extras on the show.

(if 3 or more Wire actors appear in a show/film...to me it's a Wire reunion even if the characters don't appear together. Well the Luke Cage netflix series is a Wire reunion of sorts...no spoilers but I count 2 regulars who had speaking roles and a brief appearance by one character

one of the characters is doing exactly what they would be doing if the show had continued

the other is alive after having been hit on the Wire)

Yours is Cheese to the co-op while discussing raising the fee to meet Marlo's connect.

1"You really see Bird shoot that man?"

2"You really askin?"

that second line is omar.. cant place who said it to him though, wanna say either bunk or freamon

you got it,McNulty asked him right after the trial.

lol i guess i'll take a half credit on that one


"damn, cheese doodles and ring dings?"

"i disgusting i admit it"

The second line sounds like Herc. First guy is either Carver or Sydnor.

its sydnor then carver.. since we were both half right this time i'd say that makes it your turn

You're giving me a pass,Rollin. I had the scene right but had both people wrong...I'll go next though.

1".....and her mom, she boils cats"

2" you really was a special case...who eats boiled cats?"

That's two of the kids... Mike or Dukie and Namond saying the second line.. That always cracks me up "who want him some boiled cat?"

Yo Gets, have you heard of Michael K Williams' new show Black Market? It's on the Viceland channel and features him talking to all sorts of people involved in different underground economies. Some real interesting episodes, the first one is on the carjacking business in Newark.

Anyway here's one for you..

"Where are we? That sign said Longwood, but I could swear this is Warwick.

"Hoppers be turning the sign poles to fuck with y'all."

Rollin, thanks. I caught the first episode, gonna buy the series if they release it on dvd. Interesting idea for a show, and crazy how "Omar" gets the hood pass to tell these stories.
You were right. Dukie and Namond.
For yours,by the way the dialogue goes, sounds like a cop with informant...so Kima and Bubbles.....no Kima and Orlando before they get hit...she's speaking out loud cause she's talking to other cops on radio.

"Nah, those are Timbs..I can see the tree"

You got it.. Almost slipped up on an easy one there

Yours is D'Angelo when Bodie is trying to clown Wallaces boots..

"But it's a snail, you see, and it go, "meow"

"It's a what? What?"

"Then it ooze all up right up to his belly, like it's his pet and shit."

"Yo, y'all watch too many cartoons."

Right, I was supposed to add the line Bodie said so I could list both quotes but I forgot it. Good way to get it off of just one line.


Yours is Little Kevin to Bodie. LK and Bodie were in that scene, so it might be some random unknown character that says the first line, but I say LK and Bodie DEFINITELY delivered the second line. I liked that scene and the other ones(Mike and Dukie at amusement park) because it reminds you that really these are kids underneath it all.



1"You heard that Marlo punked Bodie for his corner. Applied pressure and his punk ass buckled"

2" you would have done different?

1" I would have grabbed my nine, take it to the mattresses..F Marlo"

Absolutely man. There's an opening scene in season 4 where the kids are hanging in an alley and while they're talking they hear shots and aren't even phased, but while they're talking about zombies and hear someone coming they get scared as hell and run. Just showing how they're desensitized to reality but still have the imaginations of children..

Anyway, yours is Wee Bey and Namond. Namond talking way over his head as usual lol.

"I ain't no snitch.. But this dude, and his kind man, they got to fall"

Rollin...correct....maybe I've watched the Wire way too much but I find humor in small scenes. Namond was talking a good one all the time...including that time to Weebay. FUNNY scene is when Colvin asks Bay for permission to be guardian for Namond.
Colvin says.."It's Namond we're talking about...if I see it...I have to believe that you do" Bay's facial expression is hilarious...like he knew his son was just fronting all along with the tough talk.

Anyway, yours is Bodie to McNulty.



1"We have you on tape talking about killing your 'dog'. Just make it easy on yourself and start talking about Prop Joe"

2"what makes you think I'll talk behind his ba...., you know what? I don't know what y'all talking about .LAWYER TIME"

A: Bunk and Cheese. Legendary scene haha.

Q: "Why'd you let him play then?"
