The Wire2002
Deacon:
No offense, but you're like the blind man and the elephant. It's a lot bigger than what you got your hand on, you just can't see it.
Maj. Howard 'Bunny' Colvin:
See what?
Deacon:
A great village of pain, and you're the mayor. Where's your drinking water? Where's your toilets? Your heat, your electricity? Where's the needle truck? The condom distribution? The drug treatment intake? Half these people are dyin' on their feet, and the other half's gonna catch what's killin' them.
Maj. Howard 'Bunny' Colvin:
Look, they ain't no worse off when they was all over the map. Now they just in one place, is all.
Deacon:
And that place is hell.
