Final Grades

Bodie: ...I ain't no snitch.
McNulty: Didn't say you were.
Bodie: I've been doing this a long time. I've ain't never said nothing to no cop...I feel old...I've been out there since I was 13. I ain't never fucked up a count, never stole off a package, never did some shit that I wasn't told to do. I've been straight up. But what come back? You think if I get jammed up on some shit they be like "Aight, yeah. Bodie been there. Bodie hang tough. We got his paid lawyer, we'll got the bail." They want me to stand with them right? But where they fuck they at when they supposed to stand with us. I mean, when shit goes bad, and there's hell to pay, where they at? This game is rigged, man. We like them little bitches on the chess board.
McNulty: Pawns.
Bodie: Yo, I'm not snitchin' on none of my boys. Not my corner. Not no Barksdale people. Or what's left of them. But Marlo, this nigga, his kind. They gotta fall. They gotta!
McNulty: Well for that to happen, someone's gotta have to step up.
Bodie: I'll do what I gotta. I don't give a fuck. Just don't ask me to live on my fucking knees, ya know?
McNulty: ...You're a soldier Bodie.
Bodie: ....Hell yeah.
Best show on TV
