- 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 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.
