    Going through a serious period of watching old scenes on youtube. Great fun but not good for the studies.

    Avon to Stringer

    "Know what the difference is between me and you? I bleed red; you bleed green. What you been buildin' for us? I look at you these days, you know what I see? I see a man without a country. Not hard enough for this right here and maybe, just maybe, not smart enough for them out there"

    Stunning

    I wish I was in your position. Not to spoil so from the first season with the chicken nuggets McDy's comparison in the low rises is class.

    You have to love all the conversations between D and bodie in the first series. From the conversation about Mc Nuggets to the lines "Shorty was right, i mean i aint seen a shorty that fine since" Classic.
