Stanislaus Valchek quotes from The Wire

Valchek

Now the votes are in, and you're movin' your damn golf trophies upstairs to the Commissioner's office, now you're freezin' me out, huh? Fuckin' rat-fucker's, all of ya'. This is my case, mine! And now you're gonna tell me who the target is? Well not fuckin' likely.

Daniels

Where are the detectives who were first assigned?

Valchek

Dead. To me, anyway. I shipped them humps back to Burrell as fast as I could.

Daniels

[to Major Valchek] I'll tell you the truth Major. Everyone who saw the punch wrote on it. And they've all got Prez throwing the punch, no question. They've also got you addressing a subordinate officer as uh, what was it? A shit-bird?

Valchek

Fuck you. This is the Baltimore Police Department, not the Roland Park Ladies Tea.

Valchek

So, what's my role in your little drama?

Carcetti

I thought you might broker a meeting, you know... help your fearless leader see the light about his new friend on the council.

Valchek

And I should tell him, what? Make nice or invest heavily in petroleum jelly?

Carcetti

Hey, his ass, his choice.
