five seasons.....worth of quotes.

same format as the other BB dialogue games. A lot of times, the
writers would give characters from different worlds the same dialogue
so there are times where there is more than one correct answer.


only suggestion is to please not use a line said by a character who
only spoke/appeared on one episode...
nameless characters' lines will make this difficult game..impossible







Q. "Money don't got no owners....only spenders"

A: Omar Little.

Q: Last night I'm at home, I'm sitting up buck naked and I got one hand wrapped around a cold domestic beer and the other wrapped around my magnificent flaccid four and one half inch wonder.

listing the character that the line is spoken to/directed at is
optional


(mine was Omar to Marlo)


A. porn aficionado Landsman (to Mcnulty?)


Q. No. I'm just a clean name , for the liquor license.

good idea! The Wire is the greatest achievement ever on TV IMO.

can't remember your quote though. sounds like a line from Boardwalk Empire.

I liked the Wire, think some of the superlative comments from critics The Sopranos and The Wire are a little bit much.

-------------

glad you like the thread idea, which I obviously stole from existing threads.


I was very late to the Wire, resisted watching it because there was so much hype around it, but it was justified.







=========================

The quotes I use, you can figure out which world it takes place in, street, cops, politics, school,docks, newsroom...and deduce who said it.

A: Orlando (to D'angelo)

Q: "spread the word nigga -- Oma' back"

I guess you can't be mad at someone for being WHO they are.
Five seasons, dozens of major characters, lot of minor characters
and THAT'S the line you choose to add to an internet forum
word game?


I'm thinking you just wanted to write that word.

At any rate...please delete or edit, so that any real fan of the Wire
can enjoy the game.

now that you felt the need to be a dick, you got me thinking: I had that line tattooed in my mind like it's a classic The Wire line, but Omar doesn't swear, doesn't he? is the line right? is this why you got all turned up behind your keyboard?

I was trying to get your game going with an easy/obvious line, like if the Godafther game got stuck and I posted "I'll make him an offer he can't refuse" or the Taxi Driver game got stuck and I posted "are you talking to me?"...

now how do you manage to turn The Wire dialoque game into this? did you expect it to go on without profanity?

and where's your badge saying "Internet Douchebag Curse Word Inspector"? maybe you wanna add a filter to the boards so we can't really say what we want.

anyway don't worry about me, I'll leave the game to you and the real fans of The Wire. maybe you can edit the first post and elucidate them on which lines can be used in the game.

defiantly refusing to remove racial slur from post?

what a classy guy.

back to the game


Q. If he kept stealing the money, why'd you still let him play?

A: McNulty

Q: "Package up my ass, gump."

A. Kenard to Namond

Q. You want it to be one way, but it's the OTHER way.

A. Marlo to the store security guard.

OK...somebody else post a quote.

Don't know the quote word for word but my favorite thats pretty easy if your a fan

Best Thing is..I'm not even Greek

Q: A Cop is only as good as his informant

"I'm not even Greek" = The Greek
"A police officer is only as good..." Kima Greggs.

Q: "My name is Reginald."

A. "cop only as good as informant"..sounds like Hauk


A. "my name is"...sounds like what person at AA meeting would say or 12 steps or rehab... Bubbles



Q.Every morning, I wake up white in a city that ain't.

A: Tom Carcetti ("I STILL wake up white in a city that ain't.")


Q: There's a sign on the other side of this gate that say, "Never again."

It was Mcnulty

have absolutely no idea

Avon, when he gets out of jail.

wow...and thanks

read the line and tried to remember if there was a holocaust survivor as a minor character....

Haha ya thats a great a line

Makes me sick, motherfucker, how far we done fell

Scorcese's post hasn't been answered yet....and @Phriction...that's Bunk to Omar


Scorcese's turn..

"Don't matter who did what to who at this point...fact is, we went to war and now there ain't no going back...I mean shit, it's what war is you know? Once you in it, you IN it. If its a lie then we fight on that lie, but we gotta fight."

(watch the film 25th Hour again, and you'll catch the actor using that catchphrase)

A. McNulty to Bunk?


if it's not, i will NEVER get this one..(not a wire quote..my views about how hard it is to place this quote)

Ya your right it was mcnulty to bunk about the fake serial killer

Your turn.

"This look like money? MONEY be green!"

it was D'angelo to Wallace after he saw counterfeit cash in the count money.


===============================================================
See that's the problem with the justice system..people get locked up and they don't stay that way ..make it hard to take this shitt serious.

Bodie.....on the corner after seeing Poot free before his sentence was over.
=============================

somebody else go

"boy wonder, why don't you suck my bat-dick"

that sounds like herc

"I'll take any MFers money if he's giving it away"

said by 2 characters..either answer is correct

yeah mine was herc getthesenets.

the one you quoted exactly was clay davis, and IIRC, randy wagstaff said it too when michael rejected the $200 from marlo.

here's one i think might be kinda challenging

"why ch*nk bob never put no napkins in the damn bag?"
"cause fuckin napkins is expensive and shit!"

yep, Clay Davis and for number 2 you got the scene correct...but it was Namond who said it to mike

the answer to yours is an exchange between Poot and Wallace

==============================================================

another quote said by two characters..either answer is correct

"well, get on with it MFer!'

the obvious one is stringer, but i'm not certain of the other. i think bodie said it right before he got killed, no?

"don't need the 4 now son!"

yes stringer bell

also bunny colvin...when he had to answer to the police board/panel about hamsterdam...instead of prolonging it he told Rawls to get on with it....mfer

----------

Yours sounds like Prop Joe to Marlo...not because I recall the line or the scene but because joe had a habit of addressing Marlo as son.

not sure though...

nah, it's the dopefiend that used to rob bubbles after he beat the shit out of bubbles the first time, the young boy sherrod had just refused to sell him a vial because he was 4 dollars short.

you stumped me......great line...i don't think i hated any single character more than that bully dopefiend..


you go again since nobody answered it

"this sentimental motherfucker just cost us money!"

A. short older gangster to other members of the new day co-op after Slim Charles shot Cheese


=========================================================
"The game ain't in me no more"

haha yeah i love that scene. the old guy doesnt give the slightest sign of a fuck about cheese just about the money for the connect.

your quote is definitely cutty when he's telling avon how he can't be a soldier anymore.

"i wasn't made to play the son"

A. Marlo to Prop Joe before Joe gets killed

================================================

"Look, we either step up or step off,that's the game...that's the fuckin game"

That's bodie to poot discussing killing Wallace. Shit broke my heart b

"fuck yourself with a 40 shitbreath"

A. the roid rage cop to either bodie's crew or michael's crew of hoppers

don't know his name, looks like Boyka from Undisputed film series

===============================================================


"first of all, we got permission to grind in these here towers...and second............(gunshot)AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHRRRGHHHHH!"

A. It was Cheese to Brother Mouzone


Q.This man over here singing your praises and shit and you standing there looking fuckin stupid!

haha that's snoop talking to michael when her and chris approach him in the alleys that night. nice.

"in this country, supermarkets are cathedrals"

RollinBones,


check your pm

A. Sergei aka Boris to Prop Joe......same scene the burdensome line from Joe comes from



Q. I made them for Bloods...the yellow paint is some kind of declaration of war

thats punk ass officer walker. the story of that ring michael stole from him is one of my favorite storylines in the whole series, the way it moves around is crazy.

"you wanna talk that blood is thicker than water bullshit, you take that shit somewhere else"

A. pretty sure it's D'angelo....sounds like what he would say to his girl visiting him in jail , but not 100% sure


(and about the Ring moving......I wanted to create a thread about things that the wire borrows/copies/pays homage to from other films and tv shows.....the ring moving is similar to how a watch is moved around in "Once Upon a Time in America"..think it was a pocket watch....several people take it/steal it over the course of a few minutes)

not sure about my answer so I'll wait for you to confirm

nah it's stringer to avon after he admits he had d'angelo killed.

yeah the watch in once upon a time that they roll off the drunk. easily one of my favorite movies, i hear sergio leone's kids are working with martin scorcese to get the entire 4 and a half hour movie released, i would love to see his original vision since we've only seen heavily edited ones over time.
