- [Sydnor walks into the office wearing his undercover attire, laughing]
- Detective Ellis Carver: Now look at this piece of shit!
- Detective Leander Sydnor: I'm good to go, right?
- Det. Shakima 'Kima' Greggs: Come here, lemme see.
- Detective Leander Sydnor: [opens his coat and spins around] Detective Sydnor's ensemble is the latest in Westside project wear. Have your torn cammies by Versace. Uh, stained sweatshirt by Ralph Lauren...
- Det. James 'Jimmy' McNulty: Where you mic'd?
- Detective Leander Sydnor: Down on my dick, man. I figure they ain't gonna go down there anyway, right?
- Detective Ellis Carver: I dunno, Sydnor, the way you twirlin' around, might be the first place they look.
- Detective Leander Sydnor: [laughing] Fuck you. Man, I ain't showered in two days, I ain't shaved in four. Right now, I am one ripe, nasty son of a bitch.
- Det. Shakima 'Kima' Greggs: Yo, Bubs. What you think?
- Reginald 'Bubbles' Cousins: This your man, huh?
- Det. Shakima 'Kima' Greggs: Yeah. Is he low-bottom enough for you?
- [Bubbles walks around Sydnor, inspecting him]
- Reginald 'Bubbles' Cousins: Clothes is tore-down enough. But he could use a little bit more stains. More dirt.
- [looks at Sydnor's hand]
- Reginald 'Bubbles' Cousins: What's this here, man?
- Detective Leander Sydnor: It's my wedding ring.
- Reginald 'Bubbles' Cousins: [chuckles] Shit, you married to the needle, boy. That shit been pawned off, if you for real. Dead giveaway. You could stand to lose about 20 pounds, some yellow in your teeth, fresh bleeds on your hands...
- Detective Leander Sydnor: [annoyed] Okay, so maybe I should go out and shoot up some dope for about a year or two, right? Come back when I can really carry the look off?
- Reginald 'Bubbles' Cousins: I'm just sayin', I'm just sayin', man. The more tore-down you look, the better. You gonna go down in them towers, man, they gonna check everything.
- Detective Leander Sydnor: Yo, how 'bout the shoes? I mean, I know you ain't got no problem with the shoes, fucked up as they are.
- Reginald 'Bubbles' Cousins: Lemme see the shoes, man.
- [Sydnor holds up his foot, showing a clean sole on his shoe]
- Reginald 'Bubbles' Cousins: See? You walkin' down them alleys of the projects, man, you steppin' on dead soldiers.
- Det. Shakima 'Kima' Greggs: Dead soldiers?
- Reginald 'Bubbles' Cousins: Yeah, empty vials. You can't walk down a Baltimore street without that shit crackin' underneath your feet. You wanna know if a fiend for real?
- [takes off his own shoe and holds it up so everyone can see the glass shards embedded in the sole]
- Reginald 'Bubbles' Cousins: Check the bottom of his shoes. Okay? Have him dance on some empties before we go out there. Get us killed.
- [Kima laughs; McNulty looks at Sydnor]
- Det. James 'Jimmy' McNulty: He hurt your feelings?
- Detective Leander Sydnor: [smiles wryly] Little bit.
