Man On Stoop and McNulty in “The Target”

I'm sayin', every Friday night in an alley behind the Cut Rate, we rollin' bones, you know? I mean all them boys, we roll til late.

McNulty

Alley crap game, right?

Like every time, Snot, he'd fade a few shooters, play it out til the pot's deep. Snatch and run.

McNulty

What, every time?

Couldn't help hisself.

McNulty

Let me understand. Every Friday night, you and your boys are shooting craps, right? And every Friday night, your pal Snot Boogie... he'd wait til there's cash on the ground and he'd grab it and run away? You let him do that?

We'd catch him and beat his ass but ain't nobody ever go past that.

McNulty

I gotta ask ya: If every time Snotboogie would grab the money and run away, why'd you even let him in the game?

What?

McNulty

If Snotboogie always stole the money, why'd you let him play?

Got to. This America, man.
