My favorite scene in all of the Wire is in (I think) season two, where Omar is in court as a witness, wearing his fucking tie over a t shirt when the lawyer is going after him for what he does, benefiting from the drug trade by stealing the money from and to make a living.

In the middle of his grandiose spiel Omar pipes in with,

"well that's what you do."

He's fucking floored.

"You do it with a briefcase, I do it with a shotgun." Shrugs.
