Chris Partlow quotes from The Wire

Chris Partlow

[to Michael] Yo' we always in the market for a good soldier. We see one we like, we take care of his situation. Take him in, school him, make him family. And if you with us, you with us. Just like we be with you, All the way.

Chris

[To Michael, after he kills someone for the first time] You can look him in the eye now. It don't matter who he is, or what he's done, you can look him right in the eye.

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?

Marlo

[after finding out Omar jumped from a 5th floor balcony] Don't seem possible.

Chris

It don't.

Marlo

That's some Spiderman shit there. We missed our shot. Now he goin' be at us.

Chris Partlow

Omar tried calling you out by name, but shit, no one --

Marlo Stanfield

What he say about me?

Chris Partlow

Nothing, man. Just talking shit.

Marlo Stanfield

He used my name? In the street?

Marlo Stanfield

Talk, motherfucker!

He just, you know, say that you need to step to and that . . . I don't know. He just running his mouth some.

Marlo Stanfield

He call me a punk?

Chris Partlow

It was bullshit, man. You ain't need that on your mind.

Marlo Stanfield

What the fuck you know about what I need on my mind, motherfucker? My name was on the street? When we bounce from this shit here, y'all going to go down on them corners and let the people know: Word did not get back to me. Let them know Marlo step to any motherfucker -- Omar, Barksdale, whoever. My name is my name!
