A paraphrase from Stringer "The worst we do, the more money we make." Talking about selling weak dope, they buy twice as more. The same rules apply for most things. They sure don't build them as they used too when you are forced to make another purchase.
Stringer acts just like corporate management. The “Handle that” on the low than walk off is exactly what they do when you’re about get chewed the fuck out.
@@girishtandel9776 Man that could be foreshadowing. The fact that String makes that statement, then by the end of the scene, they show Poot. Great catch man
Stringer never had any respect for a street level drug dealer, I don't think Stringer ever really liked 'the game', for me that was the biggest difference between him and Avon, Avon would have respected even the lowest of people under his command as long as they were doing their job
Street level drug dealer are dumbasses.. Why would you respect them ? Because they so call put their life on the line ? For what ? not even their own business...
He forgot where he came from as a lot people do in all walks of life. But in this case on the streets, the lower your standing the dirtier the work. A guy moving bricks is rarely ever going to respect a street-level dealer unless he shows him something. The street life is all about using and abusing people.
Actually studied this scene in my Directing For Screen Performance class. Amazing acting, even down to the little things. Stringer constantly looking around for 5-0 while talking - it's these character details that make this show so great.
True indeed. Come to think of it, of all the British actors who appeared on The Wire, Idris Elba was the only one whose Baltimore accent never once faltered. Dominic West's (McNulty) did on the regular, particularly at the start of the series. Whenever his character would start ranting, all of a sudden we'd be in Manchester, England.
poot didnt kill wallace for stringer you mean bodie killed wallace for stringer poot took the 🔫 just to put wallace out his misery.so with that being said stringer had no idea poot knew about wallaces murder.because bodie took all the credit as he should because stringer hired him to kill wallace not poot
Sean Mcmillon disagree.... Bodie shot him in the chest which he could've survived had he got medical attention Poot Std having ass is the one who killed him.... Shot him in the cheek and the forehead 💔
I think the essence of this scene was to illustrate how Stringer operates. While he may not be omniscient, he is a very cautious and calculating man. Bell was extremely ambitious and didn't want to see himself in jail or dead, and that fear was a motivator to the way he meticulously played the game.
"You think these n***** gonna go get a job? quit this game and go to college?" Ironic to hear Stringer saying this considering he was in fact, enrolled in college and looking to ultimately legitimize his way out of the drug trade. The fact is most drug dealers know that death and jail are the only end games to what they do. Stringer thought he was smarter than the rest and could actually make his story end differently. Notice how he refers the other guys being stuck in the game as if the same rules don't apply to him. Stringer thinking he was above the game is what caused him to make some of the moves he made and break the rules, which led to his demise.
K. Slim in a way he was above the game, he wasn't out on the corner taking felony shots everyday he had in a way made it. him and his crew were eating big time.
Marc Ceaserlino The average human or at least the average American doesn't think like Stringer Bell. Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton in response to factory jobs being sent south of the border and overseas due to globalization tried to tell lower middle class white Americans that those jobs are done but re-education/re-training was the answer, while Donald Trump simply promised them that he would bring the jobs back. It didn't go so well for the back to school deal.
The Sopranos, Sons of Anarchy, The Americans, Power were my fav shows ever .. But when this fell into my Lap this became my #1 favorite show of all time .. The acting is incredible .. Avon and Strigner are an unstoppable duo
+Dancinglings He does seem a lot more hypercompetent in the first Season compared to 2 and 3 (GODS! Especially Season Three with Clay Davis - GOOD LORD!)
@@mikecantreed The Wikipedia page got updated with new information. It used to say he was born in 1971, but now it's been changed to 1973. I think the 1971 bit might've been based on the actor being friends with Tupac back in school.
Girard Whiting ever notice how Jail really does save some of these Niggaz lives. Sometimes as soon as they are released they get murked IE: Tupac (real life) or IE: D'Angelo (TV life)🤷🏽♀️
When String was functioning as a 'COO' he was awesome and big part of the glue that kept the Barksdales running like a well-oiled machine. He wasn't as good as a 'CEO', especially when he started to undermine Avons authority. In this COO capacity, he was sort of scary and an powerful enforcer. As a CEO, he was conflicted and didn't grasp some of intangibles of the 'game' that Avon understood so well. When he was operating as a COO he represented the cold reality of their business.
@@positivevibesandmorelife7307 COO runs operations and basically oversees everything making sure everything is working the way it's supposed to. They only answer to the boss. That boss being the CEO.

Velocity He asked on behalf of himself and Poot, Bodie was too proud to ask I think. Sterling and Manny started to steal though when D'Angelo withheld payment.
When I first watched this show years ago, I was just a regular white kid in the suburbs. But after years of hard work, I now have over a dozen corners! Under my employ are some of the most enterprising hoppers and youngins to ever wield the chrome.
@@escobar7796only thing I can pick is he’s observant, cuz I do this when I’m outside and in the public I’m not looking at you I’ll quick glance at you every so on but I’m always looking around just to see who’s walking past
lol that little "cmon man" poot does when the phone gets knocked out of his hands. It's insane how consistently good the performances are on this show with a cast so large
This video shows how low Stringer thought of his hoppers/dealers/workers. He laughs at the idea of them getting a job or going to college. He also doesn't give a thought that maybe some may save up their money.
He’s not punking him tho Your not gonna let yo big homie poke u in the chest? You see how D smack the phone out of Poot hands It’s just part of the game
I always liked how String passed on the opportunity to puff his chest when D complements his strategy, instead he seamlessly transitions to pointing out yet another infraction of the company's policies...his nickname should have been hawk-eye.
Quentin Holness You're absolutely right that there are not many employers in Baltimore's drug game. The demand curve for labor is indeed inelastic. In this particular scene though, String is emphasizing the limited optioned faced by their employees. He is pointing out that the supply curve for labor is inelastic. The corner boys are screwed on both sides of the supply and demand equation.
Colin Keesee people forget in season 1, we didnt really know about another suppliers/crews. So basically Avon had the whole Baltimore locked down. Only supplier. Either you work, or you dont work at all.
Judge Maurice Johnson remembers the Friday he wasn’t paid work his work as a lookout in the Low Rises. Maurice decided then he was going to finish his Criminal Law degree and he never looked back.
When Stringer played his position he was great. When he started making calls without Avon's approval (The Orlando hit, the mess with Omar and Brother Mouzone, trying to reason with Marlo) that's when he fucked up. The shit with Clay Davis was just sad. Play your position, know your lane in life.
“Damn String you know how to play a n*gg* into a corner.” Interesting that through all his moves and machinations, Stringer ultimately played himself into a corner. Literally between Brother Muzone and Omar. And it got him killed. Reminds me of another classic line, “Not hard enough for this shit here and maybe just maybe not smart enough for them out there.” Stringer wasn’t as smart as he thought he was and it got him killed in the end.
You guys want to know a fun fact? I was bored and stumbled across this. The actor that plays D'Angelo (Lawrence Gilliard) is actually 1 year older than Stringer (Idris Elba) lol. Avon, who plays D's uncle, is only 1 year older than Lawrence Gilliard. D'Angelo is one young looking dude
This is the scene that got me hooked on The Wire. I randomly turned to BET when it was in syndication and this popped up. I was going to turn it but something about the realness caught my attention.
You dont sweat when an employee breaks the rules now and then. But its the worse feeling when the big boss is around judging your work and one of your people on their phone right in front of them. Makes you look bad.
"Yo, take care of this right here" "Shit let me handle this man" "Yes that's what I just said. Handle it. Don't act like it was your idea in the first place"
He didn't know street strategy, he only knew numbers and tried to run a corporate business on the wrong avenue. He was calculated, for sure - but he only knew how to burn you with your back turned. Marlo and Avon would do it behind and in front of your face to make a public statement. That brought scarcity into the game which is necessary. Stringer's corrupted corporate practices did what was expected - gain no love from his labor workers or his partners, only his consumers. There's no loyalty in the corporate world, it's dog-eat-dog, and that's not a king's mentality. Even Avon knew that, for he stayed the king. Stringer was given up because there was no loyalty offered from him.
When D'Angelo slapped his phone out his hand, I had zero worries. Those old Nokia phones could stop bullets, and still call Pizza Hut afterward.
Yes
lmao
You ain't lying bro 😂😂😂
Lmfaoooooooo
A paraphrase from Stringer "The worst we do, the more money we make." Talking about selling weak dope, they buy twice as more.
The same rules apply for most things. They sure don't build them as they used too when you are forced to make another purchase.

For real
Even had some waves going
His clothes too
When Idris did Luther he looked dusty and coked out

You can't front, Idris is a savage for losing his British accent. You would've swore he was born here.
Excellent actor. Always thought he was an American until I saw Luther and looked him up and realized he was British
you could her a little bit of it though throughout the series he was a lil rusty in some episodes
Dominic West is also a british and the guy who plays Avon too
@C.B Turner ah damn lol not him then but I remember there is another brit

1:50 "you know how to put someone in a corner" Then String orders Wallace death who gets killed in a corner. Absolute genius writing
Stringer got cornered as well when they killed him

As smart as they portray Avon and Stringer to be, it takes them way too long to suspect the cops are wiretapping them.

Tres Nueve well said 💯✊🏿
You can take the Orlando hit out of there the only thing he fucked up on with the Orlando hit was taking the money.
Poot held that grudge. Some say thats the reason poot started working for foot locker. It's all traced back to this moment.
This has to be one of the best top 5 TV series ever made
“Damn String you know how to play a n*gg* into a corner.”
