Russell 'Stringer' Bell:
Doin' good out there, D.

D'Angelo Barksdale:
We'll be doing even better when we get that new package.

Russell 'Stringer' Bell:
[laughs] New package same as old, man.

D'Angelo Barksdale:
Say what?

Russell 'Stringer' Bell:
Ain't no new package. Just gonna put that same sh*t out in a different colored gelcap is all. Might spike that sh*t with some procaine or some caffeine, but otherwise it's the same.

D'Angelo Barksdale:
String, man, people already coming back on us tellin' us that sh*t is weak.

Russell 'Stringer' Bell:
I know; sh*t *is* weak, but, y'know, sh*t is weak all over. The thing is, no matter what we call heroin, it's gonna get sold. Sh*t is *strong*, we gonna sell it; sh*t is *weak*, we gonna sell twice as much. You know why? 'Cause a fiend, he gonna chase that sh*t no matter what. It's crazy, you know. We do worse, and we get paid more. The govermnent do better, and it don't mean no nevermind. [pointing to the money] This sh*t right here, D, is forever.
