From series 2, I just loved this...
Nick Sobotka: Thanks for bein' straight on this.
Prop Joe: Fool, if it wasn't for Serge here, you and your cuz both would be cadaverous motherf*ckers.
It's the term Cadaverous motherf*ckers that gets me - I just love it.

Sgt. Jay Landsman: For you I would suggest some pantsuits, perhaps muted in color, something to offset Detective Moreland's pinstripe lawyerly affectations and the brash tweedy impertinence of Detective Freamon. Rawls is watching on this one, let's at least pretend like we got a f*cking clue.
Freamon: Tweedy impertinence? I like that.

The entire conversation between Bunk and McNulty when investigating the old murder scene in the first series.
And McNulty's conversation with Bunk about his wife, where he indirectly calls her a c**t.
Whenever Clay Davis says "Shiiiieeet" and most of Omar's lines are pretty badass.
Man i need to go watch it again

That was a chat with Kima (sp?) in the car - she said "Did you just call the mother of your kids a c*nt?"> The entire conversation between Bunk and McNulty when investigating the old murder scene in the first series.

So it was, I just assumed it was one of the many great bunk/McNulty moments.
That just proves my point of having to watch it again.

Although its "only" a TV series, I think it is right up there with all the great novels and great cinema - the best piece of work Ive ever enjoyed in any format or genre.
Absolute genius that bears repeat watchings.

There are a few scenes with D'Angelo Barksdale - when he's explaining chess and free market economics on the orange couch in the first series, and in the prison book club - which are genius.
I also like:
"People getting cold"
"I thought you said the world was getting hotter"
"World's going one way, people going the other"

Rawls in the bar is my favourite did-I-just-see-that? moment. In reply to anonymouse:
and "briefly" scrawled on the police station toilet wall
"Rawls sucks cock"
never made into the story arc .........but a nice subtle touch of detail.

Oh yes. It gives a sense that the characters live actual lives rather than just contributing to the plot as and when they're needed.

Do you know what episode _ Ill have to check that out - wouldnt put it past the writers in the intricate detail stakes.
Did you also know that the lady who Bunk spent the night with (when he burnt his clothes) is Randys guardian and in series 4 or 5 it kind of slips out that Randys surname is Wagstaff - which would intimate that "Cheese" Wagstaff (prop Joes horrible nephew played by Methodman) is Randys absentee "babyfather"............

and this is a particular gem:
Proposition Joe: I heard your end would be covering my fee.
Stringer Bell: Your fee?
Proposition Joe: Yeah, I'm like a marriage counselor. Tell the man he oughta bring the bitch some flowers every once in a while. Tell the bitch she gotta suck some cock every once in a while. That sort of shit.
[Omar arrives]
Proposition Joe: Speaking of cocksuckers...

Proposition Joe: I'm Proposition Joe. You f*ck with me, I'll kill your whole family.

In reply to Tony the Blade: You know Clay Davis says 'Shiiiiiieeeeeet' all the time - we ran the French dub version - it's quite good to here him say 'Meeeeeeeeaaaaaaarrde" and Stringer Bell used to work for Ford at Dagenham my mate Dave knew him and said he was a big girl!

Like when discussing the 'creator' of chicken nuggets...
D'Angelo, Poot and Wallace are sitting on the orange sofa in the yard outside the low rises:
WALLACE: Want some nuggets?
POOT: Nah, go o
WALLACE: (Chewing on a nugget). Mother f*cker got the bone all the way out the damn chicken. . Til somebody come along they been chewing on drum sticks and shit, getting' their fingers all greasy. Man said leave the bone [out], snug up that meat and make some real money. .
POOT: You think the man got paid?. . .
WALLACE: Shit, he richer than a mother f*cker
D'ANGELO: You think he got a percentage?
WALLACE: Why not?
D'ANGELO: Nigger, please. The man that invented that just some sad ass down in the basement at McDonalds. . .
POOT: Nah man, that ain't right. . .
D'ANGELO: F*ck right. It ain't about right, it about money. Now you think Ronald McDonald going to go down that basement and say, "Hey Mr Nugget. You the bomb. We're sellin' chicken faster you can tear the bone out. . So I'm going to write my clowny ass name on this fat ass check for you?
WALLACE: Shit..
D'ANGELO: And the nigger that make them things still working in the basement for a regular wage thinking of a way to make the fries taste better and things like that. Believe.
WALLACE: He still have the idea, though

In reply to Tony the Blade: word for word, I'm impressed but hope you did't type that out, that'd be my typing done for the whole day!
conversations like that made it the best. Can it be equalled?
The only negative was the seriously ugly woman playing sexy roles, maybe |McNultys ex came good in 3rd series but the rest of them, and the sex scenes they were in were obsene.
When Marla Daniels came downstairs to get Cedric in her night attire I nearly spewed!

aye it was the best shot of her in the whole series though. McNultys near hardcore scene with the waitress was a ffwd moment too.
