The young man seems to think highly of you boss. He invoked your name with a measure of respect.
It wasn't but a few weeks ago when I was in a room with him being called everything but a child of God. "Mr. Colvin sir. Fuck you."
Yo' at least I said mister.
[about Marlo] He's a cold motherfucker.
It's a cold world Bodie.
Thought you said it was getting warmer.
The world goin' one way, people another yo'.
[Bodie and Poot are talking about the cold weather.]

S4 E11A New Day
Now Joe, you been so busy being devious, you done messed around and got yourself caught up in a web.
The Bunk is strictly a suit-and-tie motherfucker.
Detective Freamon, you have carte blanche in picking your squad. In fact, you can pick your supervisor, for all I care. Motherfucker, as far as I'm concerned, you are the Major Crimes Unit. It's morning in Baltimore, Lester. Wake up and smell the coffee.
[after making a deal with Omar] Omar on the one side holding a spade. And maybe Marlo to the other holding a shovel. And just at this moment... I managed to crawl out my own damn grave. No way do I crawl back in.
A wise man does not burn his bridges until he first knows he can part the waters.
[Bodie and McNulty are having lunch inside a diner as Bodie is ducking the riled up police.]
Not a good day to be cross-eyed in West Baltimore.
What, y'all behind on your quotas or some shit? What the fuck?
Seems one of my side got jumped last night.
[Chuckling] Yeah, Walker—I heard about that shit.
Threw paint on him.

Lovely lady. What she say?
"Put that bitch in baby booking where he belong. Let him learn something."
