Omar Little quotes from The Wire

Omar

The cheese stands alone.

Omar Little

Ayo, lesson here, Bey. You come at the king, you best not miss.

Omar

Look man, I do what I can do to help y'all. But the game is out there, and it's either play or get played.

Omar

All in the game yo... [laughs] All in the game.

Omar

How you expect to run with the wolves come night, when you spend all day sporting wit' the puppies?

Omar

It ain't what you takin', it's who you takin' it from.

Omar

A man gotta have a code.

Omar

Man gotta live what he know, right?

Omar

Now Joe, you been so busy being devious, you done messed around and got yourself caught up in a web.

Omar

Now you make sure you tell old Marlo I burned the money. 'Cause it ain't about that paper. It's about me hurtin' his people and messin' with his world. Tell that boy he ain't man enough to come down to the street with Omar. You tell him that!

Omar

You workin' a Stanfield corner, which means you workin' for a straight up punk! Ya' feel me? I'm out here in these streets every day, me and my lonesome, and where he at? Huh? A'yo, ya'll put it in his ear, Marlo Stanfield is not a man for this town, ya' digg?

Kima

You saw the murder?

Omar

Yeah.

Kima

You can ID this man Bird as the shooter of William Gant? And you ain't afraid to go into court downtown and testify against one of Barksdale's people?

Omar

Omar don't scare.

Kima

You worried about being seen?

Omar

Well if anybody got a problem with me spending time with y'all, I'd be much obliged to stick my gun straight in they mouth.

Bunk Moreland

So, you're my eyeball witness, huh? [Omar nods] So, why'd you step up on this?

Omar

Bird triflin', basically. Kill an everyday workin' man and all. I mean, I do some dirt, too, but I ain't never put my gun on nobody that wasn't in the game.

Bunk

A man must have a code.

Omar

Oh, no doubt.

Omar

Hey, yo! Y'all need to open this door, man, before I huff and puff. C'mon, now, by the hairs of your chinny-chin-chin.

Omar, you best roll out. We up in here with a Mac-10.

Omar

I thinks not, Terrell. I thinks not. Y'all might need to think this through and stop wasting my time. 'Cause Omar can come back tomorrow. And the next day. And the next day. And I will put a bullet in all y'all behind what happen right now, you heard?

Omar

Fair enough.
