The Wire2002

Mayor Clarence V. Royce:
I admit I've made some mistakes, Burrell being one of the biggest. But he's got a job for about 10 more days. After the primary, he's gone believe me. And that last stunt - pulling a detective.

State Delegate Odell Watkins:
What'd you expect?

Mayor Clarence V. Royce:
Not that, huh-uh. Hey, I had nothing to do with that nonsense.

State Delegate Odell Watkins:
Now that's a straight-up lie. I was at that damn meeting when you told him "Slow the case down.".

Mayor Clarence V. Royce:
I didn't mean...

State Delegate Odell Watkins:
Who the hell knows what you mean anymore Clarence? Look at this. [hands Clarence two campaign flyers] Look at it! You gave me your word on this. Your *word* Clarence! But here you are ticketed up with Eunetta in her best precincts and then ticketed up with my girl Daniels where she's running strong.

Mayor Clarence V. Royce:
Odell, this is the first I've seen this. C'mon now! This is probably Eunetta's people pulling this sh*t.

State Delegate Odell Watkins:
With a "Citizens for Royce" authority line? Eh, look at you Clarence. Just look at you. You've forgotten your agenda. You've forgotten your base! You think a shave and some Marcus Garvey posters are gonna get you over? Do you think that's gonna make up for jumping in bed with every damn developer? Sh*t. You're even on Clay Davis's tit.

Mayor Clarence V. Royce:
Now don't you go getting all self-righteous with me Odell. Campaigns run on dollars - you know it.

State Delegate Odell Watkins:
Whose dollars? Those sons of b*tches you got around your card table every month feeding your kitty? Oh yeah, I know about that too. You... trouble with you - f*** you, Clarence. I'm gonna sit what's left of this one out. I'm gonna sit it out!

Mayor Clarence V. Royce:
Sit it out. The primary?

State Delegate Odell Watkins:
Sit it out! [Odell starts to leave]

Mayor Clarence V. Royce:
Odell! ODELL! Who the hell do you think you are huh? Come November, I'm still gonna be the only game in town! Odell, turn your back on me now, I won't forget it!

Chief of Staff Coleman Parker:
We can't afford this! We need his organization on Tuesday, go after him!

Mayor Clarence V. Royce:
F*** that holier than thou motherf***er!
