Snoop quotes from The Wire

Snoop

Let us pray. Here we lay a couple New York boys who came too far south for their own fuckin' good. Where ya fuckin' Yankee pride at now, fuckin' bitches? Let's get the fuck outta here.

Snoop

[after Chris beats a man to death] Damn... you ain't even wait to get the nigga in the house!

Snoop

Fuck them west coast niggas. 'Cuz in B-more, we aim to hit a nigga, ya heard.

Snoop

God-dayumn.

I see you've got the DeWalt cordless. [pause] Your nailgun. DeWalt four-ten.

Snoop

Yeah. Trouble is, ya leave it in the truck for a while, and need to step up and use da bitch, da battery don't hold up, ya know?

Yeah. Cordless'll do that. You might want to consider the powder-actuated tool. The Hilti DX460MX or the Simpson PTP. These two are my Cadillacs. Everything else on this board is second best, sorry to say. Are you contracting or just doing some work around the house?

Snoop

Nah, we work all over.

Full time?

Snoop

Nah, we had about five jobs last month.

At that rate, the cost of the powder actuated gun justifies itself.

Snoop

You say ‘power'?

Powder.

Snoop

Like gunpowder.

Yeah. The DX460 is fully automatic, with a 27 caliber charge. Wood, concrete, steel to steel, she'll throw a fastener into anything. And for my money, she handles recoil better than the Simpson or the P3500. You understand what I mean by recoil?

Snoop

Yeah. The kickback. I'm wit cha.

That's right.

Snoop

27 caliber, huh?

Not large ballistically, but for driving nails, its enough. Any more and you'd add to the recoil.

Snoop

Aw shit, I seen a tiny ass .22 round nose drop a nigga plenty a days, man. Motherfuckers get up in ya like a pinball, rip your ass up. Big joints though? Most the time they just break a bone and they just say “fuck it.” I'ma go with this right here, man. How much do I owe you?

Six-sixty-nine, plus tax.

No no, just pay at the register.

Snoop

No man you handle that for me, and keep the rest for your time.

This is $800.

Snoop

So what man? You earned that bump like a motherfucker, man. Keep that shit.

Chris

We good?

Snoop

Yeah, man. Man say if you wanna shoot nails, this here the Cadillac, man. Meant Lexus but he ain't know it.

Chris

Hold a charge better?

Snoop

Man, fuck a charge, this here's a gun powder activated, 27 caliber, full auto, no kickback, nail-throwing mayhem man. Shit right here's tight.

Snoop

Word. Fuck this nailin' up boards, we could kill a couple mother fuckers with this right here.

Snoop

Back to business, I say.

Chris

She ain't had any work in a few months. She's somewhat eager.

Snoop

God damn, right? Too much fuckin' talkin' around here lately, man. Niggas need to shut the fuck up, for real.

Chris

Y'all gonna pop out and pop off. Drop who you can.

Yo, let's go all west coast with this.

Snoop

[laughing] Say what?

Drive-by. That's how they do. Drop a motherfucker and not slow down. Like Boyz n the Hood. Shit was tight, remember?

Michael

Why? What I do wrong?

Snoop

Chris locked up behind somethin' he done for you. And you downtown wit' the police.

Michael

I ain't say a word.

Snoop

Yeah, that's what you say. But it's how you carry yourself. Always apart. Always aksin', "Why?". When you should be doin' what you're told. You was never one of us. And you never could be [...] How my hair look, Mike?

Michael

You look good girl. [gunshot]
