The Wire2002

Slim Charles:
[during a New Day Co-Op meeting] Milton came with six hundred, and Little Glen is in for three.

Clinton 'Shorty' Buise:
I got five from me, and I got five from Chinaman to cover.

Slim Charles:
We still short nine hundred.

Melvin 'Cheese' Wagstaff:
I can go that, no thing.

Ricardo 'Fat Face Rick' Hendrix:
What? Muthaf***a, where you get that kinda scratch?

Melvin 'Cheese' Wagstaff:
You don't think Cheese know this here game? We sellin' dope and coke in Baltimore, nigga. Any of y'all ain't got that kinda money need be ashamed.

Clinton 'Shorty' Buise:
You're still puttin' up more than your share with that.

Melvin 'Cheese' Wagstaff:
The way I look at it, we all gonna more than paid once we own the connect, so...

Ricardo 'Fat Face Rick' Hendrix:
Sh*t, nigga, we was good when ya uncle had it. You had to go ahead and put up with Marlo - [Cheese abruptly draws his gun and sticks it in Rick's face]

Melvin 'Cheese' Wagstaff:
See that? See now, that's just the wrong way to look at it. 'Cause Joe had his time, and Omar put an end to that. Then Marlo had his time, short as it was, and the police put an end to that. And now, muthaf***a, it's OUR time. Mines and yours. But instead of just shuttin' up and kickin' in, you gonna stand there cryin' that "back in the day" sh*t.

Ricardo 'Fat Face Rick' Hendrix:
Cheese...

Melvin 'Cheese' Wagstaff:
There ain't no "back in the day," nigga! Ain't no nostalgia to this sh*t here! There's just the street, and the game, and what happen here today.

Ricardo 'Fat Face Rick' Hendrix:
You right. [Cheese lowers his gun]

Melvin 'Cheese' Wagstaff:
When it was my uncle, I was with my uncle. When it was Marlo, I was with him. But now, nigga - [Slim suddenly draws his gun and shoots Cheese in the head, killing him instantly. Everyone stares in shock as Cheese's body twitches on the ground]

Clinton 'Shorty' Buise:
What the f*** you do that for? Now we short the nine!

Slim Charles:
That was for Joe. [he walks away]

Clinton 'Shorty' Buise:
[to Rick, jerking his thumb at Slim] This sentimental muthaf***a just cost us money.
