Rawles to McNulty:

Listen to me, you ****! You did a lot of **** here. You played a lot of ****ing cards, and you made a lot of ****ing people do a lot of ****ing things they didn't wanna do. This is true; we both know this is true. You, McNulty, are a gaping asshole. We both know this. **** if everybody in CID doesn't know it! But **** if I'm gonna stand here and say you did a single ****ing thing to get a police shot! You did not do this, you ****ing hear me? This is not on you. No, it isn't, asshole! Believe it or not, everything isn't about you! And the mother****er saying this, he hates your guts, McNulty! So you know if it WAS on you, I'd be the son of a bitch to say so! **** went bad - she took two for company. That's the only lesson here.


Love that speech

Flimbos

"This the kingpin, a'ight? And he the man. You get the other dude's king, you got the game. But he trying to get your king too, so you gotta protect it. Now, the king, he move one space any direction he damn choose, 'cause he's the king. But he ain't got no hustle. But the rest of these motherf*ckers on the team, they ...got his back. And they run so deep, he really ain't gotta do sh!t."
