Reason 101.1 to love The Wire

OK, I’m playing catchup here. Season 2, episode 1.

Brodie is the passenger in a van going down a highway, listening to rap; he’s never been outside of Baltimore. The van loses radio reception and the driver starts looking for a new station.

Brodie listens for a sec, shakes his head. “Why would anybody ever wanna leave Baltimore, that’s what I’m askin’.”
