Charles Cornner Haha fr. Another great customer service was when Chris was about to shoot that guy he said: "Don't worry, I got you. Quick and clean" haha
DJ Devinstation with sales tax included the tip came to about $100 but still the guy made money and had a hell of a story to tell his wife and buddies. LoL
The nail gun scene was truly classic. Shows hardworking 9-5er vs street worker and they both had knowledge of the concept. Snoop was also smart to not pay for it at the front this way they cant trace the sale.
The first viewing of it makes it seem really smart. However, you then have to take in to consideration that Snoop left behind her old nail gun with her prints all over it. Then once it’s been discovered that her and Chris had been dumping bodies in the vacant’s, the police would be hitting up every local hardware store inquiring about any recent purchases of nail guns that typically fire the specific nail type. And what’s going to stand out to them more? A customer coming in, purchasing the nail gun at the register and leaving - Or an employee’s retelling of a story that a young woman came in to the store, spent 5 minutes discussing nail guns with him and then purchased this specific nail gun in cash, without checking out at the register. And she even “Tipped” the man $100 for his customer service? Followed by “She even left her old tool behind, which we’ve since put in storage in case the customer was to return at a later date for it” That’s a quick “Yes we’d like to see your surveillance tapes from that day in question, please”
Ellis Y Large retail stores like that only have one large entrance that is also used as an exit. She’d be clocked in both entering the store with her nail gun and exiting that store with a brand new one in a red box. She’d also be found within the store, talking to the sales rep and exchanging cash for the item.
Part of the reason they worked so well on the show (and a portrayal of prolific IRL killers) is that they're so calm and reassuring about the whole "you're gonna die" thing. Chris talks like he's doing you a favor and Snoop acts like it's just another day at the office. You get the impression they're going to help you fill out your mortgage paperwork or something.
Snoop actually killed someone too, she was a kid, so I wouldn't say her real personality is exactly like that of the shows, but with her in this life fr she probably met enough of those folks to know how they really are.
+Kenney McCall "This is eight hundred dollars!" "So what, you earnt that buck like a muhfucka, man..." Sociopathic fucking walking clearance rate that she was, I fucking LOVED Snoop's lines. And the salesman's face when she starts fondly reminiscing on bullet calibers...
it really is one of the most intelligent scenes in history the subtlety is what makes it so good " yea the kick back im wit chu " genius how they show the polarity between their world & the real world & just how intelligent they are . this is just wat they do . the whtie guy works in home depot . snoop catches bodies . just doin her job playin her part its what she was meant to do
She scares the shit out of me, but I can't take my eyes off her and I hang on her every word. Amazing presence. She needs to be the lead character in a show.
I love how snoop appreciates good customer services. imo snoop was such a scary character everything about her just felt so real. I know the wire is a drama but snoop was like something out of a horror movie but in the most realist way
@@BD52Ravens please tell me what correct english is. There is an enormous amount of words in the english language, and no one in the world speaks exaclty the same given the difference in dialects, accents, and individual speech patterns amongst individuals. There is no such thing as speaking proper English. Where ever u live and how the english is spoken their dictates what's proper and what's not amongst your peers. So please take ur weak ass excuse for a racist comment elsewhere u inbred, cornshucking, country singing, mayo eating, cave dwelling, internet pussy!
go to baltimore you'll hear it all day haha. The real bmore actors on the Wire other than Snoop was Prop Joe, D'Angelo, Savino, and a few others. You can tell immediately it's authentic. Michael K said he tried to do the bmore accent with omar but to anyone from the area they know it's not real, still good effort tho.
These killings always gave me the chills. How Chris and Snoop are just so calm and almost gentle with the people they killed, assuring them they will kill them quickly and painlessly. They are somehow so much worse than a drive by. I always want the victim to at least try to run away, but they are so pinned down by fear that they are unable to.
@@neighbor472could you imagine? You're GOING to die and there aint nothing you can do. I would go down fighting man I couldn't just let someone take me out. I would go out swinging.
Chris..Please man.. / Don't fret boss..I got you covered...quick and clean I promise Chris Partlow was like the coldest, ruthless, most respectful, compassionate gangster I ever seen.
Code? Compassionate? It was selective. Dude executed a milk delivery woman after cordially helping her into the store. They wanted to stick some thing to Omar and thought that would do it? It shows just how generally not smart they were but also shows that they would use any one to advance their domination.
Notice how when Snoop walks into the hardware store everyone is looking at her. She is not unaware of this either, she just doesn't give a fuck obviously. When the employee from the store approaches her and assists her in finding a new nail gun she obviously respects this even though he has an incentive to try and sell a product. He is also thorough in his explanation of the capabilities of the product. All this earns him an extra 131 dollars and the uneasy feeling that he might've just sold a gun powder nail gun to a maniac.
Ironically, that salesman probably brought down the entire Marlo operation with his sales pitch. The nails from that particular nail gun are what ties Chris and Snoop to all the murders in the vacants. They're identified by how new and professional they look, which signals there's a dead body inside. Had Snoop just bought any regular nail gun like the one they were already using, the Baltimore PD would have had to gone through each building in Baltimore looking for bodies. That's something they didn't have the time nor manpower to do. Having the nails easily identified meant beat cops could easily look.
Back when this was filmed nail guns that were not powered by air compressors were fairly rare and expensive. Today's nail guns don't need gunpowder, the batteries today do a more consistent job with equal or better force.
Felicia COULDA had one of the most successful careers a blck woman ever had in Hollywood coming from the streets of B MORE, but she chose the dope game. I mean yeah in sure she gets royalty checks here n there from HBO but doubt it's enough to support herself. I wish she would a exploded far as acting goes, she's SO damn good yo💯
the clip with the pigeons is awesome, as it really displays Marlo's business acumen--he will utilize whoever he can for a job if he believes they can get it done, be it a disabled man to care for the messenger pigeons or a lesbian to carry out his killings. AS LONG AS THEY DO THE JOB RIGHT.
“This is almost $800!” “So what man? You earned that bump like a motherfucker keep that shit man.” 😂🤣I love that part so much. One of the best lines in Wire history
My favorite series ever besides sons of anarchy. I'm from Baltimore this show depicts how life is in Baltimore from dealers to the cops to the addicts this show gets an A++++ in my opinion
I believe Marlo genuinely enjoys a nice pigeon or squab. Just like when Monk sees a nice Dolphin he is sure to compliment it no matter the circumstances.
He was a stone cold killer but how he empathized he looked seeing the make pigeon take care of the youngins that triggered something on his child hood all the depth you was getting from marlo lol fastward when he says i wasnt made to play the son
embe1 ..when did you ever see Marlo kill someone...what you mean is Chris an Snoop are stone cold killers...only thing i ever seen Marlo kill was some bottles during target practice...oh shit i hope he doesnt read this he might come after me just to prove me wrong...dam am outta here...😢
Marlo wont no sociopath but he was a killer.. smarter than most on this show. sure seemed stone cold enough when he rocked them corner boys who was talking about Omar after he got out the game
The nail gun scene is one of the best scenes of all time, in any show. Dude is trying to make a sale and Snoop is in shock and awe about how the nail gun, is just a bad ass as a real gun.
Not True. When Omar robs the card game is the best scene. Marlo wins a big hand with a full house. Omar busts in and tells Marlo, "I don't know about cards, but uh, I think these 45's (Four 5's) beat a full house." Also when Omar says, " Man..Money ain't got no owners, only spenders." Best writing in the series.
The kid who take care of the peigons is slow but Marlo respects and takes care of him. If you didnt notices Marlo only makes eye contact with people he respects. With Bodie he never looked at him, he knew bodie wasnt his equal.
They didn’t even include one of the best scenes with her- when she walks up to that dude on the corner and asks him who his favorite character is on that morning radio talk show 🤣🤣 I forget the exact line but it’s funny af
I'm glad I wasn't the only one. It passed me by completely at first, yet there's some real obvious dialogue about her being female but it just went over my head somehow.
thegigadykid1 yeah, not in a bad way either, she carries herself with a confidence that you didn't see in female characters back then. But watching this particular scene it's so fucking obvious!
Same. First time I saw it didn't realise until Michael said "you look good girl" before he made her look not good. Then I watched it again and there are a few of clues, but not many. E.g. the one in this video "your turn girl" by Marlo. Missed it!
A 9mm held that close to the head will cause blood spatter. I'm surprised that they didn't go with a lighter caliber since it suppresses better. These two were a small Death Squad...
Damn right its about time! Just now getting to her introuction. BOUT TIME! Been waitin for her. Saw some clips of her on youtube. I was like gotta watch this series.
My favorite show of all time. Been trying my best not to watch it bcuz Ive seen it all the way through at least 19 times. But.... I think im about to go for 20. No lie i might be closer to 35. Best show ever!!!
The scene at 2:08 of Snoop telling those young soldiers that Chris 'dropped' Stringer Bell is very telling. It appears that they're telling a fairy tale to build up the rep of the stanfield organization.
Facts cuz anybody who know Chris know he be polite as hell when he finna merk u she saying she was cussing him out and shit shoulda let mfs know she was cappin 😂😂
@@smadd3505think knowing The Wire that’s absolutely purposeful too. that’s very out of character for Chris and anyone who knows his style would second guess that story.
Well, the thing is: the people that were ACTUALLY RESPONSIBLE for Stringer’s death weren’t gonna be stepping up to take credit for it, so might as well ride the coattails of the credibility and the respect it would bring them.
I tried watching this with the captions on to understand what Snoop was saying...😂😂😂 Apparently the captions dont understand Snoop sometimes either.......
I love the little detail that she says “gunpowder-activated” in the exact same cadence as he says “powder-actuated.” A good salesman or woman will have you hype about the purchase afterwards even if you didn’t perfectly soak up everything they said.
I think Marlo talking to the slow kid about the pigeon coop was one of like maybe one or two times he actually gave someone a compliment during his entire run on the show.
rightfully so. We just had a problem with the Dewalt Trim Gun recently. thing shot like 5/6 nails then just stopped shooting. lights flashing like battery out but battery just came off charger fully booted put on it and same shit. things in good condition not like its beat 2 hell. faulty. Dewalt makes some pretty good Cordless Saws and Drills but I haven't been impressed with the guns.
