Slim Charles: "He do look natural"

SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEIT

the "i ain't that humble" exchange ftw.

"Them Greeks sure have some weird-ass names. "
"Hey, don't knock the Greeks. They invented civilization."
"Yeah, and ass-fucking, too."

He feared and hated me, and I merely wanted him dead.

"We used to make shit in this country, build shit. Now we just put our hand in the next guy's pocket."

Proposition Joe: "If it wasn’t for Sergei here, you and your cuz' both would be cadaverous motherfuckers."

"that shit was unseemly!"

"if it's a lie, then we fight on that lie."

i lol'd so hard @ "cadaverous motherfuckers"

It ain't no thing

Feel me?

you want it to be one way...

but it's the other way

indeed

pretty much everything herc says in season 2

"y'all some semper fi motherfuckers, huh"

vs

"Draft dodging peace freaks, huh?"

"There you go. Giving a fuck when it ain't your turn to give a fuck."

"you got my back, huh? you got my back?"

the entire scene where herc and kids are playing with the computer face program

"you got my back, huh? you got my back?"

Damn, this scene hurt like a mofo for days after I first watched it.

"what about these little bald headed bitches right here?"

"Do the chair know we gonna look like some punk-ass bitches out there?"

hahaha

"Adjourn your asses"

aw i miss bodie

"yo snoop, your sister's in my class"
"n---- is you high?"

ALL TIME FAVE:

"This is America, man."

"You ask me y'all shouldn't be in here fuckin around with all these guns 'n shit."

"I am thus undecided on fake tits."
- horse face

or something like that. just finished season two today.

and obviously the entirety of the famous fuck scene from season one.

"World be getting warmer, people be getting colder."

"It's got nothing to do with sex. It's about sympathy. It's about giving a guy a break...He looked like this little kid who got left at a bus station by his parents. You know why? Because he had to catch Hoyt Wilhelm's knuckleball. Five fucking years. The worst gig in baseball. It was like trying to catch a greased pig with wings. I mean, he even told a reporter once, 'Wilhelm nearly ruined me.' Gus Triandos. Big slow guy."

also, seconding czn's Cheese quote "That shit was unseemly" and adding "This some shameless shit."

"You ask me y'all shouldn't be in here fuckin around with all these guns 'n shit."

haha yeah that scene was priceless

"I'm just a humble motherfucker with a big-ass dick."

"Boy, don't nobody give a damn about you and your story. You got money, you get to be whatever you say you are."

"Well tickle my fancy fat man"

about mouzone, can't remember who said it:

"Nigga has more bodies on him than a Chinese cemetery."

racist, but clever. think it was prop joe?

"My name's Proposition Joe. You fuck with me, I'll kill your whole family."

"I robs drug dealers"

"THESE ARE FOR YOU MCNULTY!"

Last year, the remarkable television series "The Wire" featured a scene in which Marlo Stanfield, a young man who combines entrepreneurial ambition with ruthless violence while taking over the west Baltimore drug trade, steals 50 cents' worth of candy in full view of a security guard.

The security guard confronts him outside the ghetto storefront where Stanfield has committed this economically trivial but socially significant crime.

The guard knows who Stanfield is, and he's enraged by the calculated act of disrespect. He says he's just an ordinary law-abiding man, working at a convenience store on a Sunday morning, trying to support a family, while making less in a month than Stanfield makes in an hour. Stanfield replies, "You want it to be one way." The guard is confused by this, so Stanfield repeats himself: "You want it to be one way. But it's the other way."

I can't wait to go to jail.

"you want it to be one way" makes an earlier appearance in a Lehane short story ("ICU")

"Omar you best roll out. We up in here with a Mac-10"
"I thinks not, Terrell. I thinks not." LOL

Also, Slim Charles:

"Ain't enough y'all done violated the Sunday Morning Truce. No. I'm standing here holding the torn-up church crown of a bonafide coloured lady. Do you know what a coloured lady is? Not your moms, fo' sho'. 'Cause if they was that, y'all woulda known better than that bullshit. "

that Slim Charles quote is poetry

"Lester, are we still cops?"
"Technically, I suppose..."

"I ain't feel like it, that's why. This is bullshit. And I ain't reading no motherfuckin' book either. (I think he says) I ain't need to know nothing 'bout the damn book. You always gettin' on my ass and shit about some book. Fuck you, you cheese-faced bitch!"

yeah cheese-faced = yoga flame

sydnor: dogshit
mcnutty: you hope

"Shit is just business, String. Buy for a dollar, sell for two. That's all it need be. You got the towers, I got what goes in 'em. Later for all that bullshit."
