Bubbles quotes from The Wire

Bubbles

[to Kima] How y'all do what y'all do every day and not wanna get high?

Bubbles

Ain't no shame in holdin' on to grief, as long as you make room for other things too.

McNulty

I'm late for soccer practice.

Bubbles

Suck what?

Walon

Look, forgiveness from other folks is good, but ain't nothin' but words comin' at you from outside. You want to kick this shit, you got to forgive your own self. Love yourself some, brother. And then drag your sorry ass to some meetings.

Bubbles

Meetings?

Walon

What the fuck do you wanna hear? That you're strong enough to do this by yourself? Gettin' clean's the easy part. And then comes life.

McNulty

[about Omar] He play you hard?

Bubbles

I go at him respectable. He put that goddamn shotgun in my face, man. I'm looking at two goddamn tubes of the Harbor Tunnel staring right at me. [McNulty laughs] Each one about yea-big. I damn near piss my pants.

Bubbles

This pay how much?

Kima

Let's treat it like a real job. Say $5 an hour, $30 on a day, max.

Bubbles

That's less than minimum wage.

McNulty

But there's no withholding, Bubs. It's tax-free.
