Re: favorite scenes from the wire (SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS)
Guy: I’m sayin’: every Friday night in an alley behind the Cut Rate, we rollin’ bones, you know? I mean all them boys, we roll til late.
McNulty: Alley crap game, right?
Guy: Like every time, Snot, he’d fade a few shooters, play it out til the pot’s deep. Snatch and run.
McNulty: What, every time?
Guy: Couldn’t help hisself.
McNulty: Let me understand. Every Friday night, you and your boys are shootin’ crap, right? And every Friday night, your pal Snot Boogie… he’d wait til there’s cash on the ground and he’d grab it and run away? You let him do that?
Guy: We’d catch him and beat his ass but ain’t nobody ever go past that.
McNulty: I’ve gotta ask you: if every time Snot Boogie would grab the money and run away… why’d you even let him in the game?
Guy: What?
McNulty: Well, if every time, Snot Boogie stole the money, why’d you let him play?
Guy: Got to. It’s America, man.
