D’Angelo Barksdale: Now look, check it, it’s simple, it’s simple. See this? This the kingpin, a’ight? And he the man. You get the other dude’s king, you got the game. But he trying to get your king too, so you gotta protect it. Now, the king, he move one space any direction he damn choose, ‘cause he’s the king. Like this, this, this, a’ight? But he ain’t got no hustle. But the rest of these motherfuckers on the team, they got his back. And they run so deep, he really ain’t gotta do shit.
Preston ‘Bodie’ Broadus: Like your uncle.
D’Angelo Barksdale: Yeah, like my uncle. You see this? This the queen. She smart, she fast. She move any way she want, as far as she want. And she is the go-get-shit-done piece.
Wallace: Remind me of Stringer.
D’Angelo Barksdale: And this over here is the castle. Like the stash. It can move like this, and like this.
Wallace: Dog, stash don’t move, man.
D’Angelo Barksdale: C’mon, yo, think. How many time we move the stash house this week? Right? And every time we move the stash, we gotta move a little muscle with it, right? To protect it.
Preston ‘Bodie’ Broadus: True, true, you right. All right, what about them little baldheaded bitches right there?
D’Angelo Barksdale: These right here, these are the pawns. They like the soldiers. They move like this, one space forward only. Except when they fight, then it’s like this. And they like the front lines, they be out in the field.
Wallace: So how do you get to be the king?
D’Angelo Barksdale: It ain’t like that. See, the king stay the king, a’ight? Everything stay who he is. Except for the pawns. Now, if the pawn make it all the way down to the other dude’s side, he get to be queen. And like I said, the queen ain’t no bitch. She got all the moves.
Preston ‘Bodie’ Broadus: A’ight, so if I make it to the other end, I win.
D’Angelo Barksdale: If you catch the other dude’s king and trap it, then you win.
Preston ‘Bodie’ Broadus: A’ight, but if I make it to the end, I’m top dog.
D’Angelo Barksdale: Nah, yo, it ain’t like that. Look, the pawns, man, in the game, they get capped quick. They be out the game early.
Preston ‘Bodie’ Broadus: Unless they some smart-ass pawns.

OMAR: Ain’t working out for y’all, huh?
COP: Mars is the god of war, right?
OMAR: Planet, too.
COP: I know it’s a planet. But the clue is “Greek god of war.”
OMAR: Ares. Greeks called him Ares. Same dude, different name, that’s all.
COP: Ares fits. Thanks.
OMAR: It’s all good. See, back in middle school and all, I used to love them myths. That stuff was deep. Truly.
BAILIFF: You’re up.

Jimmy McNulty and Russell (“Stringer”) Bell

The Wire

There are too many good Wire posts on my dash. This means I need to finally finish watching the series, doesn’t it?

McNulty- ” You know what they call a guy that pays to much attention to his clothes right”?

Morland-Yeah, A Grown-Up…

D’Angelo:  He’s saying that the past is always with us. And where we come from, what we go through… how we go through it, all that shit matters. […] Like at the end of the book, you know? Boats and tides and all. It’s like you can change up, right? You can say you’re somebody new, you can give yourself a whole new story… but what came first is who you really are… and what happened before is what really happened. And it don’t matter that some fool say he different… ‘cause the only thing that can make you different… is what you really do or what you really go through.
