heroin addict:
Got any testers, man?

Preston 'Bodie' Broadus:
Nigga, it ain't even 9:00 and you fiendin' on it. Get the f*** outta here, man! Damn.

D'Angelo Barksdale:
Yo, why you act like that, yo?

Preston 'Bodie' Broadus:
What, for these junkie motherf***ers?

D'Angelo Barksdale:
So you just gonna take his money all day and treat him like a dog?

Preston 'Bodie' Broadus:
How I'm supposed to treat him?

D'Angelo Barksdale:
I don't know. But you ain't gotta punk him like that.

Malik 'Poot' Carr:
He punked hisself. He a goddamn drug addict.

D'Angelo Barksdale:
And you a goddamn drug *dealer*.

Preston 'Bodie' Broadus:
So? So *what*? Oh, what, the 'customer's always right'?

Wallace:
Yo, we in the projects. The customer be f***ed up. You can't give these n*ggers sh*t, man.

D'Angelo Barksdale:
Why not? Why can't you? Sh*t, everything else in the world gets sold without people taking advantage, scamming, lying, doing each other dirty. Why it got to be that way with this?

Malik 'Poot' Carr:
'Cause they DOPE fiends.

D'Angelo Barksdale:
Yeah, but the game ain't gotta be played like that, yo. You can't tell me this sh*t can't get done without people beatin' on each other, killing each other, doing each other like dogs. And without all that, you ain't got 5-0 down here on our backs every five minutes. Throwing us around and sh*t.

Wallace:
Sheeit, man.

D'Angelo Barksdale:
You think 5-0 care about n*ggers gettin' high? In the *projects*? Man, 5-0 be down here about the *bodies*, yo. That's what they be down here about. The bodies.
