The Wire

- Let me understand you.
Every Friday night,
you and your boys would shoot crap, right?
And every Friday night,
your pal Snotboogie...
he'd wait till there was cash on the ground,
then grab the money and run away?
You let him do that?

-We catch him and beat his ass.
But ain't nobody ever go past that.

- I gotta ask you.
If every time Snotboogie
would grab the money and run away...
Why'd you even let him in the game?

- What?

- If Snotboogie always stole the money,
why'd you let him play?

- Got to. This America, man...
