Wallace:
[while eating some Chicken McNuggets] Man, these shits is right, yo.

Malik 'Poot' Carr:
[with his mouth full] Mm-hmm.

Wallace:
Good with the hot sauce too, yo.

Malik 'Poot' Carr:
Most definitely.

Wallace:
Yo, D, you want some nuggets?

D'Angelo Barksdale:
Nah, go ahead, man.

Wallace:
Man, whoever invented these, yo, he off the hook.

Malik 'Poot' Carr:
What?

Wallace:
Mm. Muthaf***a got the bone all the way out the damn chicken. 'Til he came along, niggas been chewin' on drumsticks and sh*t, gettin' they fingers all greasy. He said, " Later for the bone. Let's nugget that meat up and make some real money."

Malik 'Poot' Carr:
You think the man got paid?

Wallace:
Who?

Malik 'Poot' Carr:
Man who invented these.

Wallace:
Sh*t, he richer than a muthaf***a.

D'Angelo Barksdale:
Why? You think he get a percentage?

Wallace:
Why not?

D'Angelo Barksdale:
Nigga, please. The man who invented them things? Just some sad-ass down at the basement at McDonald's, thinkin' up some sh*t to make some money for the real players.

Malik 'Poot' Carr:
Naw, man, that ain't right.

D'Angelo Barksdale:
F*** "right." It ain't about right, it's about money. Now you think Ronald McDonald gonna go down in that basement and say, "Hey, Mista Nugget, you the bomb. We sellin' chicken faster than you can tear the bone out. So I'm gonna write my clowny-ass name on this fat-ass check for you"?

Wallace:
Sh*t.

D'Angelo Barksdale:
Man, the nigga who invented them things still workin' in the basement for regular wage, thinkin' up some sh*t to make the fries taste better or some sh*t like that. Believe. [pause]

Wallace:
Still had the idea, though.
