04x13 - Final Grades Season 4 / Episode 13: - Final Grades

Preston 'Bodie' Broadus: I been doing this a long time. I ain't never said nothing to no cop. [sighs] I feel old. I been out there since I was 13. I ain't never fucked up a count, never stole off a package, never did some shit that I wasn't told to do. I been straight up. But what come back? Hmm? You'd think if I get jammed up on some shit they'd be like, "A'ight, yeah. Bodie been there. Bodie hang tough. We got his pay lawyer. We got a bail." They want me to stand with them, right? But where the fuck they at when they supposed to be standing by us? I mean, when shit goes bad and there's hell to pay, where they at? This game is rigged, man. We like the little bitches on a chessboard.
Off. James 'Jimmy' McNulty: Pawns.

Season 4 Trivia

  • Episode 01 - Goof (revealing mistake): The subpoena Greggs hands to Freamon at around the nine-minute mark shows Baltimore mis-spelled as "Batlimore".
  • Episode 08 - Goof (factual errors): The Democratic strategist raises the possibility of Carcetti running for governor of Maryland in 2008. Maryland holds gubernatorial elections in "midterm" years (e.g., 2002, 2006, 2010).
  • Episode 13 - Visiting Bubbles in the hospital, Waylon wears a leather jacket decorated with a 'Copperhead Road' patch. This was an album released by the actor playing Waylon, Steve Earle.
  • Episode 01 - Goof (errors made by characters, possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Royce's tie in the elevator is incorrect length.
  • Episode 07 - Goof (revealing mistake): (at around 13 mins) When Omar is talking with Bunk, he says "I'll be seeing God long before I swear to him on the stand," but the subtitles read, "Obviously a guy's alone before I swear to them on the stand."
