Yeah, shit is good.
Here.
Next time we re-up though,
Tell mo man we need about seven,
800 more of them dimes, all right.
I ain't seen shit like this since i don't know when.
Puddin: Same with the jumbos?
Bodie: Yeah, yeah, better get more of those, too.
Uh-oh. What the fuck is up now?
String, what's up, man?
What up, what up? Can't call it.
How's our package?
How's it look? Shit is good.
You see these eastside motherfuckers over here?
I want you to extend to these motherfuckers
All the hospitality west baltimore is famous for.
Ya heard?
Yeah, you want us to fuck 'em up?
No, dawg.
We're givin' them 221, 734, and saratoga.
We keep the rest.
Now if anybody start any shit,
They'll have to answer to me, all right, directly.
Ya heard me, right?
A'ight.
What these off-brand niggers gonna do with the project tower?
Fall back, youngin'. We're gonna show y'all motherfuckers
How to grind out here, a'ight.
Hey, string.
Yo.
I heard you, man, i did.
But, this shit right here,
It don't make no sense.
You like the new product we sellin'?
It make sense now?
Mm-hmm.
So where are we at with our boss man?
We should be up on his phone soon.
The pc is there, no question.
We get up on his cell phone, he's done.
We'll id him, no problem.
I don't know, they came down off that warehouse phone
When we spooked 'em.
And sobotka's cell phone, too.
We might be goin' up on a dead line.
Mcnulty: This is the other way to go.
Compared to the wiretap, it's the longer way around.
But still, if he's changing up on his cell phone...
Over the last week or so,
We've not only confirmed the identities of some of the key players,
We also got gps trackers on all their cars.
First of all, "a-ton ben-eleazer",
He's the drug lieutenant in the warehouse.
Eton.
Yeah, whatever.
Our madam, miss ilona petrovna.
George glekas, who runs the appliance store
Over in highlandtown and the probable fence for the organization.
We followed some of them in real time.
Now with this little toy here,
There's something else we can do.
Whoa.
Freamon: That's seven days of where our targets have been, sped up.
And look it. Two locations only where
Three or four cars have stopped
At the same time for longer than five minutes.
One x is a dive of a diner down on south clinton--
Mcnulty: The other is on the western shore of fort howard,
Down past edgemere.
We get up on these locations,
Maybe we get a photo of the boss man. Or a tag number.
Totally cool.
Where do you even get this stuff?
Dea for the trackers.
Mcnulty pulled the software from his pals at the fbi field office.
And we can pull herc and carver off the warehouse
And give them the diner.
Mcnulty, bunk, you guys take fort howard.
( chuckling )
Ott: What the fuck, frank?
You might as well start postin' them things, right?
I mean, shit, if you gonna run,
You might as well come out and say so.
It ain't personal, ott. It's just i wanna finish what i started
With the dredging issue.
And you don't think i'm good enough to handle it.
It ain't about that, kiddo.
Ott, listen to me!
What? What the fuck you want me to do?
Tell him where the money comes from?
Mason: Ibs huh?
Mm-hmm.
Not to brag, but union racketeering
Is one thing the bureau does well.
That is exactly what i wanted to hear.
This case needs closure, boys.
And in my heart of hearts,
I know you're the kind of bastards
To put sobotka where he needs to be.
One other thing you federals can help me with.
And if you don't mind, a little discretion is called for.
That right there is the district surveillance van,
Which was fully equipped when it disappeared.
A surveillance van?
Sobotka stole it
And now it's i-don't-know-where.
The last picture was from seattle,
But i got prints
From two other places, see, uh-huh?
You reported the van stolen, right?
It was my feeling that the theft of a vehicle
From a departmental lot
Would reflect poorly on the department.
Thing is, i know you boys have got enough reach
To maybe get the van back without no big dust-up.
As a favor for me having brought you the whole case.
Motherfuckin' eastside need to get their asses
Back cross town where they belong.
Yo, man, we run them off, we run off the good dope, so...
I'm just sayin' they all the time hustlin' around,
Cuttin' prices and doin' shit.
Ain't right.
Walk, nigger.
Yo, yo, what's up? What's up, soldier?
Lookin' maybe do somethin' here.
With him? This motherfucker?
I saw him over on ashland last week sellin' burns, man.
Fuck y'all niggers.
Naw, look what i'm sayin', what'd he say?
25, two dimes and a coke kicker.
Yo, i give you two dimes for 15 plus the ice on top for free.
- What? - That'll work.
Ha.
Naw, take it in the lobby, man. I'll be right behind you.
That's what's up, see?
The game now is that we gotta sell more
Of this good shit than they do.
What? Get the fuck outta here.
What, you mean to tell me there's a westside nigger
That know how to sell shit
Without stickin' a pistol in a fiend's face?!
Yeah, dawg. And you better get used to it,
'cause you all ain't sellin' shit until we bone ass dry.
- Believe that ! - All right, nigger, whatever, man.
A'ight, cottage cheese chest ass motherfucker.
Yeah.
Where you want it?
There's good.
Easy.
We could help you set it up.
You have a surveillance to cover?
I got that feelin' again.
It's like they don't think we're potty trained.
Can i help you?
Fbi.
Lieutenant daniels?
He's in his office.
Without that billboard in my face, i wouldn't have known.
How could you know?
There was the wingtips.
And the beady eyes, definite give away.
Tight asses.
Herc: Oh, definitely.
Lieutenant daniels? Agents settles and mason.
Major valchek said you'd be expecting us.
You listenin' to this fool?
Sayin' that the eastside is wilder than westside,
'cause of some shit about eastside folk drinks port wine
While the westside do sherry.
Port make a man do crazy shit, i'm tellin' you.
Butchie, talk to this fool.
For me, least ways,
The difference between east and west goes back to one man.
- Frank matthews. - Pee-wee matthews?
Yeah, the brother went up new york
And got in bed with them italians.
The only one from this town
Got a piece of that french connection.
What the hell pee-wee got to do with anythin'?
Butch: 'cause frank was westside.
How you like that? The dope flowed west.
And when you got a steady supply,
You run shit like a business.
Somebody gets hurt, there's a reason.
Not like this foolishness we got today.
( barking )
Excuse me.
What say, omar?
Ain't no thing.
You know i got somethin' for you, right?
Wouldn't come 'round 'lessin' i did.
So, what up, butch. How you holdin' up, baby?
'cept for frettin' on you, i'm good.
It's for my people.
A little somethin' for a rainy day.
Butch: You built up a right nice size nest
These past couple of years.
Might be time you maybe think about backin' off some.
Back off to what?
Later, butch.
Stay, boy.
( engine starts )
¶ ...City when it's late at night ¶
¶ i got the radio on... ¶
( tires screeching )
¶ said hello to the spirit of ol' 1956 ¶
¶ it was pacing in the woods next to '57 ¶
¶ well, the highway was my only friend ¶
¶ 'cause i went by so quick... ¶
Damn, zig, i ain't got it cut yet.
And turn that shit down for christ's sake!
¶ ...Roadrunner twice ¶
¶ i'm in love with the modern world... ¶
( music continues )
Nicely done, nicely done.
Like i always say, it pays to go with a union card every time.
Turn the fuckin' radio down, zig.
Will you get in the goddamn car already?
I mean, for christ's sake, we ain't got all night.
Jesus.
Drive a tank through there, it wouldn't take a scratch.
( tires screech )
The fuck you goin' with this?
Ziggy: Greece.
Athens, greece.
So the hole is so they don't think it's an inside job.
So they don't look at the union.
Welcome aboard, chief.
¶ i've got the radio on ¶
¶ i've got the-- i've got the-- ¶
¶ i've got the radio on ¶
¶ one more! Radio on! ¶
Cheryl: That you?
Hmm.
I thought you was gonna go shopping.
- Me? - Yeah.
We round-the-clock with surveillance.
When do we get to the part
Where you do all kinda shit for me?
When do we get to that part?
Oh, so you past the point of
Liftin' a grocery bag or two?
Uh, you try bein' me like this.
( tv playing )
Something wrong?
Mm-mm.
Baby's kickin', wanna feel?
( laughs )
Almost $4,000.
I know it is.
The greek guy, the one with the warehouse,
He pays me in cash.
Keeps it off the books so he don't have to pay
The taxes and benefits, right?
And you saved all that?
He gave me a bump, too.
I'm pullin' down like seven a week.
You don't believe me?
Christ, i was savin' that up to give to you
For the new apartment.
Two and two.
You know what i'm sayin', dawg.
So i'm like, i don't be understandin'
How these hos be actin' sometimes and shit.
You know, if i tell a bitch,
I'm like, "bitch, either you suck dick or you don't suck dick."
- Know what i'm sayin'? - Gentlemen.
What's up, my brother?
Oh, what, you slingin' bean pies up in here or something?
You know what i mean?
You with the nation, homey?
'cause either you a muslim,
Or your momma need to stop
Layin' your clothes out in the mornin'.
I'm here to represent the interests of a mr. Barksdale.
Are you familiar with mr. Barksdale?
Yeah, that name ring out, but so do mine.
And you are?
( scoffs ) cheese, man.
Mr. Cheese, i see.
And who do you work for, mr. Cheese?
Cheese: Who do i work for?
Mouzone: Am i correct in assuming that you are not employed
- By mr. Barksdale? - Hell, yeah.
Because if that is the case,
Then i have to insist that you leave.
- This nigger serious? - Let me be emphatic.
You need to take your black ass across charles street where it belong.
- What? - Hold on now. Hold on now.
You know what i'm sayin', he don't know what this is.
He ain't what he think, you know what i'm sayin'?
First of all,
We got permission to grind in these here towers.
Second of all, i don't give a fuck--
- ( gunshot ) - aah!
Ahh, get off me, get off!
Pellets in plastic.
Ratshot.
What you need be concerned about is
What's seated in the chamber now.
A copper-jacketed, hollowpoint,
120-grain hot street load, of my own creation.
So you need to think for just a moment,
And ask yourself,
"what do i have to do
Before this man raise up his gun again"?
Let's go.
Good day to you, sir.
I'm in agreement with the agents' assessment.
As far as i can see, this case
Is an ideal candidate for rico prosecution.
My agency agrees, rico is the way to go,
So we'll be in your courthouse, and not mine.
But i want one thing on record.
As of 9/11, the bureau has one priority in this case,
It's waterfront corruption.
It's a new world, and the ports are vulnerable.
This case is bigger than the union.
And we're agreeing to take on the whole case, lieutenant.
But the union is why we're in the room with you.
If you're okay with that,
Then we can work the case together.
So we'll copy all the bureau's 302s
To the lieutenant and miss pearlman.
Your paperwork should cc squad six and my office as well.
Okay, i'll start pumping your casework into our system.
See what leads that might generate.
Ought'en you be laid up, restin'?
Gunshot ain't nothin' to trifle with.
Shoulder do hurt.
But this here work just fine.
Tell stack polish it up good
And put $7.50 on it.
Shame to let a good toaster get away over a frayed cord.
First off, ain't nobody runnin' up in them projects.
Them westside boys hurtin' over this more than even you.
Trust me.
Soon as our good shit run out, they fucked.
Second, a whole passel of hard-ass hitters
Took a go at brother mouzone
And ain't lived to say shit 'bout it.
We go at the boy, no tellin' what might get stirred up.
And if stringer take a shot, he crosses avon on it.
Put a bounty on him.
Let some bush-whacking fiend back-shoot his ass.
Oh, i pin money on him and first thing, he come at me?
Shit.
Might as well just shoot myself now and get it over.
There is one boy who might could just pull this off.
Only he won't take contract money.
( phone dialing )
Aim for center mass, make sure the man goes down.
No problem, i got the three on the left.
( chuckles ) fuck you assholes.
( laughing )
- How you doin'? - How you doin', buddy?
The samsung s-221, you got that?
I don't see it.
( phone ringing )
Huh, doing the old inventory, are we?
I hope there ain't been no thievin' goin' on,
Not like the problem we got down at the docks.
You get the cars off?
Sailed two hours ago on the caspia.
Listed as scrap aluminum.
I got the bill of lading right here.
Not here.
My office.
Forgive me, but how am i to know
You did not ship them empty?
Ziggy: Well, i just don't know, you know, let me see.
Maybe if i had a four megapix, three time optical,
Fully digitalized camera i could've taken
Some quality photos of them benzes in those cans.
But oops, i forgot, my camera got busted.
Or you know what i could do?
I could get old boris to skulk around them docks, you know,
Keep the old commie red eye on them containers,
Make sure the dock boys are playin' me straight.
They are what i order?
Yes, i got you the s series in the colors that you wanted.
I even got one parked outside, you wanna see?
Outside? Now?
I'm just takin' her out for a spin, chief.
I'm gonna put her back tonight.
Wait one.
You know, them cars list out at better than 60 thou each.
20% was last week.
Today the quote is 10.
But still, it's good money for a few hours work, eh?
No! Oh, no!
No fuckin' way!
We had a deal, motherfucker.
- A deal! - ( laughing )
You listen to me. It was my fuckin' ass
Out there on the line. Mine!
And this, this piddlin' shit is the best that you come up with?
You don't play me like that, you don't!
Fuck you, you thievin', greek cunt!
Malaka!
- ( coughing ) - ( speaking greek )
You don't know that one, eh, chief?
But you know malaka, yes?
Now you know malaka with dress.
( jackhammer pounding )
( alarm chirps )
Ah!
( gasping )
( speaking greek )
Please...
Malaka.
Operator: What is your emergency?
Hello?
Can you hear me?
If you can't talk, please stay on the line.
( engine starts )
( music playing )
¶ you'll hear my voice callin' every dock in sight ¶
¶ i'm back, everybody, and i'm doing fine ¶
¶ been away for a long, long time ¶
¶ and even better than sending you a letter ¶
¶ i'm back again to blow your mind ¶
¶ reach out your hand and here's what i'll do ¶
¶ i'm back again ¶
¶ i'll stick it out rockin' with you ¶
¶ i'm back again-- ¶
( sirens blaring )
( crying )
You get in the boat first, then put the preserver on.
- It's easier that way. - Yeah?
Y'all tryin' to drown my ass for sure.
- Come on. - All right, don't push me, man.
Rod.
Got it.
Here.
Hold on to that.
Yeah.
I know this. I know this one.
( laughs )
( dog barking )
Stringer bell come at me with this.
Say he got somethin' with omar
He need to make straight.
Didn't say what that might be?
Wouldn't tell me.
And to be truthful, didn't want to know.
Naw, mm-hmm, it don't feel right.
You know yourself them barksdale people
Ain't to be trusted.
No denyin' all you say is true.
But stringer talkin' parley,
So your boy needs to think long and hard on this.
'cause if omar is livin' his day-to-day in the street,
There ain't no tellin' what their next step might be
If there ain't no sit-down.
- Parley? - That's all he say he lookin' for.
I'll talk to him.
But if it feel funny to him the way it do to me,
I got a better chance of puttin' a leash to the wind, you know?
If you think it might help,
I could go protection.
They're the one got hurt the last time.
Then there was a reason to meet.
This time feel different.
I hear you.
Maybe stringer still tryin' to settle that beef behind
The fact that he got to live in this city, too.
Omar bein' omar.
If it ain't puttin' you out none,
I feel a powerful lot better if my nephew took over protection.
Hayward.
Typed
And ready for your john hancock.
- Thanks. - Sure.
You just have to initial each page
And then sign at the end.
I'm just checkin'.
This is the official record, right, chief?
It's what's gonna play in court.
Can i change somethin'?
Yeah.
Just put your initials next to your changes.
It's no problem.
Yeah, it's only one.
You know, you typed, "said" here, see?
"said"?
Yeah.
He wasn't--
He wasn't saying, "please, don't shoot me."
It was more begging.
You know?
Double-g, he's beggin' me.
I mean, but that's not gonna mess you up though, right?
No, that's, um, more descriptive like that.
It's good, thanks.
( sniffling )
( crying )
Quiet. No one in or out of there.
It's kinda nice out here.
Moonlight on the water.
Waves lapping gently against the boat.
( chuckling )
I'm workin' my regular eight.
I can handle it, you know?
But a detail like this?
That's what i'm askin'.
If somethin' comes up on the job,
How would you handle it?
I mean, at home with the kids.
Until now, not much came up.
But now, say somethin' comes up.
I mean, say we do a raid or somethin'.
What would you do?
I guess i'd try to get the sitter to stay,
Maybe call my folks like i did tonight.
You know how it is with kids, you gotta be there.
But you wouldn't miss it?
I mean, with everybody rollin' out
And you having to head home?
Keeps goin' like this, i don't know what i'm gonna do.
- Thanks. - It's no problem.
You wanna make a phone call to someone?
You get over to madison,
It might be some time before you can.
Ain't a chance i get a bail, right?
How about family?
Fitz: All right, to bring you up to speed,
We've got agents in le havre
Shagging leads from the manifest of the talco ship
That's due here in a few days.
See if we can pinpoint the origin
For the illegal containers.
That's a lot of cans.
110, actually.
How many agents you need to track back to where
All those cans came from?
As many as it takes.
We may be assholes, but on the upside,
There's an awful lot of us.
( chuckles )
Let me get this into the computer
For the boys overseas.
Bit crowded in here.
Feds got to like that, i guess.
Yeah.
Anything from that shithole of a diner?
Herc and carver had nothing overnight.
The feds took over this morning and it's still quiet.
Well, i'm going back on the water.
One meet and we're on this guy.
( computer beeping )
Talco line's in wednesday.
I'm gonna send nick for a number.
- The greeks again? - Who else?
They sure do stir up the shit, them greeks do.
Uncle frank.
Hey, nicky boy, just in time.
Nicky: Uncle frank!
What, what happened?
- Ziggy. - The fuck is it this time?
He shot--
They're sayin' he shot two of the greeks.
Last night, they're sayin'.
Shot?
- He shot-- - fuckin' christ.
He's locked up.
He's fuckin' charged with murder.
The greeks?
Double-g.
And one of the kids that works down the store
On the avenue with him.
They're sayin' he walked in there,
He went in...
Why was he there?
Where were you? Where the fuck were you?
Uncle frank, i didn't know.
Didn't know what? What didn't you know?
What the fuck is ziggy doin' anywhere near the fuckin' greeks?!
- I don't know, i don't. - You don't know?
You're supposed to, you're his fuckin' cousin!
You're his father.
1,125 kilograms.
Not that drug enforcement's my cup of tea,
But i'm told it was the largest crack seizure on record.
I just wish i had good news for you.
You told me this was a local effort.
It's sprawled, now the bureau's involved
And we're looking hard at the port unions.
My hands are tied.
They're on you with wiretaps.
Several phones, several addresses.
( phone beeping )
Stefanos.
Have the boy go to eton.
Tell him to come right away to the other place.
You no call?
No phones. No more phones.
( speaking greek )
Adieu, my friend.
Herc: Hey, they forgot your fries.
No, they forgot your fries.
My fries are right in here.
Herc: Those are my fries.
Bitch, everything i say, you hear backwards.
Fries are mine, boy.
Go ahead.
Eat the fries, you fat fuck, see if i fuckin' care.
What? You think i'm fat?
There's our boy.
Greggs: Lester, eton's on the move.
Freamon: We got it.
Greggs: No need for an eyeball follow, right?
Freamon : No need.
A fine fuckin' kettle of fish.
I heard it, but i had to come see it for myself.
And sure enough.
Major...
You know, i put my faith in you fuckin' feds.
You let me down.
Major, we can talk in my office.
Lieutenant.
It's lieutenant, right?
I gave you a simple assignment.
That fellow,
The one in the corner.
And to make it happen, i gave you all this.
Good digs, people,
Everything you needed.
And what did you give me?
Right up the fuckin' ass, lieutenant.
Major, you're going to get so--
Roland, get your shit.
You want to do it your way, fine.
But you ain't gonna use my people to fuck me.
Get your gear, i'm pullin' you.
I got-- there's work-- you said...
Get your narrow ass back to the district
Before i slap you with insubordination.
Move, shitbird.
Jesus!
( door slams )
Detective,
My office.
( indistinct chatter )
Ahh.
( chuckling )
Yeah.
Whoo.
Base to 11-34.
Target number two is coming at your 20.
Copy that. We're on it good.
( camera shutter clicking )
We're on the boss.
My god.
He shoots both?
He kills george right there in the store.
Leaves the boy to bleed.
For what?
An argument over a few cars
With that little polack?
He's crazy, that one.
But the police have him now, so...
The police still there?
Go to the store.
Whatever the police did not take,
Papers, pictures, everything,
You clean it up.
The warehouse, too, everything gets clean now.
Everything.
And the phones are dead.
Did you see that?
They just threw the phones.
11-34 to surveillance.
Standing by.
Bunk: We got our man.
Target number one is a white male, 40s, short,
Wearin' a tan shirt and a grey tam.
Officer: Copy your description.
11-34 to surveillance, both targets are on the move.
We can't make the vehicle from here,
- But you sure as hell can. - Officer: Copy.
What was he doing with that thing in his hand?
Same thing you always do.
Diggins: Probably sendin' a text message.
My kids are crazy over that.
That's our guy, right?
What's-his-face sobotka, from the drug corner.
I need to get with vondas.
Who's that?
Spiros.
Where is he?
I don't know no spiros.
No shit.
He just up and clocked him?
- Daniels had everybody write what they saw. - Even us suits.
Hey that was smart. Daniels is sharp.
So where's prez now?
Daniels took him home.
I don't think he'll be comin' back to this detail.
You never know, he might have one of those
Psychological bullshit things in his jacket
Gives him immunity or somethin'.
Valchek gave him immunity.
And he just put valchek on his ass.
Nothing at all since the fort howard meet.
They're definitely dumping phones.
- Lester... - Freamon: Hmm.
When you use a cell phone,
You press send, where does the call go to?
- Why you askin'? - The boss man at fort howard.
He tosses the cell phone we're up on, right?
Then he pulls out another thingamajig
And he types a message.
Yeah, text messaging.
Well, it starts at one of those towers
They got up all over the place, right.
And ends up in a computer at a wireless provider.
So, if you knew when the call was made,
Could you trace the call back to that tower?
'cause if you could, might you get a phone number?
You get that, then you got the billing details, right?
Fool, do you have any idea how many people use cell phones?
It must be thousand, hundreds of thousands, at any time.
Freamon: What you need is another variable.
Another bit of data that's gonna help you isolate
Your call from all the others.
What if you knew where the call was made,
I mean exactly where the call was made.
Well, we were out in the middle of nowhere.
Does that help narrow it down.
Yeah, the fort howard sea wall.
Ain't exactly charles and baltimore streets.
Yeah, you got another problem.
Which wireless company?
Must be what, verizon, mci, at&t, sprint.
Shit, tin cans and a string, you got dozens of 'em.
Lamar?
- Where's my "harper's"? - Say what?
"harper's." the new issue.
You didn't say that one. You said a "new republic"
An "atlantic" and a new something else...
I did not forget to tell you "harper's."
Every week, i tell you the same shit
And every week you forget half of what i say.
Tomorrow, first thing,
You go down to the newsstand and you get "harper's."
And "the nation," too.
Which you also managed to forget.
You know what the most dangerous thing in america is, right?
Nigger with a library card.
( laughs )
All damn day he just sit there readin'
And damned if them eastside bitches don't stay away.
That's real muscle right there.
True that.
But what we gonna do when we start
Runnin' out of good product?
That's what we need to ask ourselves.
Yo, bodie, if string want the eastside up in here,
Then why barksdale got a man running 'em off.
( phones ringing )
( indistinct chatter )
This is getting us nowhere.
We got nothing under pyramid, inc.
Or any of the targets at any other cellular company.
It's on mcnulty then.
Freamon: 11-35, you got the 20?
I'm on the spot right now.
Freamon: All right, go.
10-4. Latitude first.
North 39 degrees 11.727.
Longitude, west 76 degrees 26.628.
Now this was a neat trick.
No one ever did it before.
Identified a cell phone using time and gps.
We got everything on the phone that was text messaging
From those coordinates at 16:45 hours today.
Just a subpoena?
With this, you can get account information
And a phone number.
With a search warrant,
You can get two months of text messages.
You got two months of text messages in this file?
I do, if you got a warrant.
Tell you what, friend.
We're gonna go back home and we're gonna start typing
That warrant tomorrow morning. But right now,
We wouldn't mind just takin' a peak
What the man's been up to the last 24 hours.
Exigent circumstances.
Thanks, brother.
Bunk: Oh, fuck me.
( sigh ) nothin's easy.
What's up?
They've dumped their phones.
We're trying to get onto the boss man's text messaging.
Yeah?
They sent that greek mess over as e-mail.
After he inputs, the computer will translate it.
Got it.
Shit.
Nicky: Hey, prissy.
Thought you'd be here.
Fuckin' ziggy.
When didn't he do dumb shit?
Remember when he forged that age of majority card?
We all pooled our money.
You drove us over brooklyn park to the cut-rate.
My mom's puke-yellow chevy.
Nicky: We told him, specifically,
Two bottles of pikesville rye and...
Southern comfort for me.
What did fucknuts get?
Fuckin' boone's farm.
He said that's what the college kids drank.
But we did it up.
Right here.
Yeah.
He stood up there,
Bottle in each hand,
Screamin' loud enough to wake the nuns.
What the fuck did he say?
"college kids ain't shit!"
- ( glass shatters ) - ( dog barking )
Goddamn, zig.
( phone ringing )
- Yeah? - Beadie, hey.
- It's kima. - Kima?
Greggs: We're gonna take doors soon.
Raids? Tonight?
Greggs: Can you make it with your kids and all?
No, no problem.
I can take them over to my parents.
Greggs: We'll see you soon.
Kima, thanks for the call.
Bye.
( sighs )
Judge wants to know how much longer?
We're close.
