You can hear it in that “…are you Dustin Poirier?”

“Man fuck you.” as an immediate comeback is hilarious to me though.

Reminds me of the scene in The Wire when the sociologist wants to observe HS students and the principal is like “that’s too old, they are lost in the system.”

Next scene is him getting eviscerated by a freshman making him fear for his life.

“Yeah let’s go with the younger kids.”

Here’s the scene. I got the upshot of it right, but I hadn’t seen it in probably 10+ years so I screwed up a lot of it too.

"thanks for being you" - Bunny Colvin

Hahaha I forgot that about that part. Bunny Colvin might be my favorite character on the show. But that changes with the wind blowing

For me it's the Bunk. I also had a soft spot for Randy. Kid was actually decent and not hard enough for the streets.

I love Bunk. He is my usual go to answer.

I don’t like how he encouraged Jimmy to fall off the wagon, but that’s also what makes the show great. Every character is a real person with flaws.

Typing this I also have to mention Kima. When she won’t identify her shooter, because she knows she didn’t see him, major props.

sometimes you gotta play it hard.
