I liked the statement by one of the stars talking about the crime/homicides related to the docks: “What they(criminals) need is a union.”
Some of my favorite Wire intro quotes:
‘Deserve got nuthin’ to do with it.’
‘World goin’ one way, people another.’
‘Conscience do cost.’
‘Call it a crisis of leadership.’
‘A man must have a code.’
‘Come at the king, you best not miss.’
‘They can chew you up, but they gotta spit you out.’
‘Don’t matter how many times you get burnt, you just keep doin’ the same.’
and
‘Business. Always business.’
What a great show.
McNulty could be a real pig at times but he always saw the big picture.
