we speak for those who can no longer speak for themselves
Last night, I linked 
angelgazing to Major Bunny Colvin's brown paper bag speech to give her a taste of The Wire, and along with a bunch of other scenes from The Wire, there were some Homicide clips in the "related" sidebar. While I couldn't find the Eskimo conversation, or Frank's spiel in "Gone for Goode", you know:
"What you will be privileged to witness will not be an interrogation, but an act of salesmanship - as silver-tongued and thieving as ever moved used cars, Florida swampland, or Bibles. But what I am selling is a long prison term, to a client who has no genuine use for the product."
I did find these:
from "Stakeout:" we're like a real family
from "Every Mother's Son:" Heart has nothing to do with it. It's all in the caffeine.
and possibly my favoritest Pembleton monologue ever, from "A Many Splendored Thing:" we're all guilty of something.
Even if you have never watched Homicide: Life on the Street, perhaps especially if you've never watched it, you should watch these clips. Because Frank Pembleton is one of the greatest characters ever created, and these are some of his finest moments.
