Cheese Wagstaff quotes from The Wire

Cheese

Omar had one of them commando squads with him, man. I mean, he had this one ho' pulling guns out her pussy, unc! The shit was unseemly, man.

Cheese

You mean to tell me there's a west-side nigga that know how to sell shit without stickin' a pistol in a fiends face?

Bodie

Yeah dog, and you better get used it, 'cause ya'll ain't sellin shit, until we bone-ass dry!

Shit, nigga, we was good when your uncle had it. You had to go ahead and put up with Marlo...

Cheese

See that? See now, that's just the wrong way to look at it. 'Cause Joe had his time and Omar put an end to that. Then Marlo had his time, short as it was, and the police put an end to that. And now, motherfucker, it's our time. Mines and yours. But instead of just shutting up and kicking in, you gon' stand there, crying that back in the day shit.

Cheese...

Cheese

There ain't no back in the day, nigga! Ain't no nostalgia to this shit here. There's just the street, the game, and what happen here today.

You right.

Cheese

When it was my uncle, I was with my uncle. When it was Marlo, I was with him. But now, nigga--

What the fuck you do that for?! Now we short the nine!

Slim Charles

That was for Joe.

Motherfucker had it comin'.

This sentimental motherfucker just cost us money!
