[Omar sits in the back of a police car in front of the towers]

You worried about being seen?

Well if anybody got a problem with me spending time with y'all, I'd be much obliged to stick my gun straight in they mouth.

[to Pearlman] They're gonna do me, Ronnie. I love this fucking job, and they're gonna do me.

So, you're my eyeball witness, huh? [Omar nods] So, why'd you step up on this?

Bird triflin', basically. Kill an everyday workin' man and all. I mean, I do some dirt, too, but I ain't never put my gun on nobody that wasn't in the game.

A man must have a code.

Oh, no doubt.

[to Daniels] You're not wrong, Lieutenant. In this state, there's a thin line between campaign posters and photo arrays.

You know why I respect you so much, Bunk?

Mm-mmm.

It's not 'cause you're good police, 'cause, y'know, fuck that, right?

Mm. Fuck that, yeah.

It's not 'cause when I came to homicide, you taught me all kinds of cool shit about . . . well, whatever.

Mm. Whatever.

It's 'cause when it came time for you to fuck me . . . you were very gentle.

You damn right.

See, 'cause you could have hauled me out of the garage and just bent me over the hood of a radio car, and . . . no, you were, you were very gentle.

I knew it was your first time. I wanted to make that shit special.

It was, man. It fucking was.
