• Dennis 'Cutty' Wise : The game ain't in me no more. None of it.

  Avon Barksdale : But you ain't done shit else, you know what I'm sayin'? So what you gonna do?

  Dennis 'Cutty' Wise : I don't know. But it can't be this.

• Russell 'Stringer' Bell : How many corners do we need? How much money can a nigger make?

  Russell 'Stringer' Bell : And then we ain't gonna be around to spend what we done made already.

  Avon Barksdale : Shit, I ain't think I was gonna be around this long.

• Avon Barksdale : The game is the fuckin' game. Period.
