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

    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 shit out in a different colored gelcap is all. Might spike that shit 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 shit is weak.

    Russell 'Stringer' Bell : I know; shit *is* weak, but, y'know, shit is weak all over. The thing is, no matter what we call heroin, it's gonna get sold. Shit is *strong*, we gonna sell it; shit is *weak*, we gonna sell twice as much. You know why? 'Cause a fiend, he gonna chase that shit 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.
