Game Day

The Wire 1×9

Det. Ellis Carver: What the fuck was that?
Det. Thomas 'Herc' Hauk: That was my Korean counterman.
Det. Ellis Carver: Sounded Chinese.
Det. Thomas 'Herc' Hauk: Like you can fucking tell the difference.

Det. Roland 'Prez' Pryzbylewski: But what if Barksdale is careful? What if we can't find his name on anything?
Det. Lester Freamon: In this country, somebody's name has got to be on a piece of paper. A cousin, a girlfriend, a grandmother, a lieutenant he can trust... Somebody's name is on a piece of paper. And here's the rub. You follow drugs, you get drug addicts and drug dealers. But you start to follow the money and you don't know where the fuck it's gonna take you.

Det. Thomas 'Herc' Hauk: Pertinent now, right?
Det. James 'Jimmy' McNulty: It is if you can explain why we're on the line after 10 minutes jerking off. You gotta justify that.
Det. Thomas 'Herc' Hauk: Maybe three holes was the code for three stash houses.

Det. Ellis Carver: Where's everybody at?
Det. Thomas 'Herc' Hauk: Maybe the whole thing is over and no one bothered to tell us. Maybe we won.
