The Wire: "The King stay the King"

[dedxsad]

this scene ties right into the death of bodie. Another reason on y this show is so dope. Bodie was a pawn and didnt move out and cud only shoot diagonal, while chris and snoop were bishops, they were moving diagonal. o-dogg was a horse and he did that horse L move to cap bodie. look up the bodie death scene for a better explanation. sorry for the spoiler to all the ppl that didnt see that episode

[RavenCyarm]

Checkers FTW

[jmwvirgil]

Bodie has no interest in winning, he just wants to know what happens if he survives the game (makes it to the other end). Unfortunately it didn't quite turn out that way.

D'angelo was a great man, absolutely a great man. A fuckin shame that they killed him, I spent crying the whole funeral scene.

[brookin]

Soldiers - cant be king - all in the game yo, all in the game..!!

[chutskeh]

yall cant be playin no checkers on no chess board, yo!

[ShockaSlim]

I wish he would have refered to the knights like they were Weebay.

[theunbeatenable]

what about the knights and the bishops?

[slimshadyfan97]

wut about slim charles

[jcforjc14]

slim is a rook. he's muscle. he might not always be with the stash but thats who he is.

[mfgdrummer]

spoiler much.

but yeah i was pretty sad, too :(

[dominictemple]

There's a reason chess is called the game of kings and was required learning for royalty back when they had actual power. David Simon is a genius.

[IndyB69]

@dominictemple huh???, what u mean ??

[percymiller09]

"remind me of Stringer"

[koans808]

lmao @ "what about them little bald head bitches"

[LSDude]

I agree with Applemask.

EVERYONE LISTEN UP.

This is the greatest scene of anything ever spawned in the history of existence. One cannot die and except to rest in peace having missed this scene.

This scene is not about chess, or drugs, or kings. It's about the universe and everything it encompasses. Every philosophical problem, every quark of everything, and every theory, is in some way explained in this very scene.

This is EPIC.

[legomanyeh]

Great Comment

[XiaoPow]

I don't agree. It's good.

[CyJoZa]

@LSDude Making mountains out of molehills..

[grappleroffdale]

theres been alot of chess/checker metaphors throughout film. It has never been done this well.

[cs00024]

one of the best scenes of the entire 5 season run of the show

[starcalibre]

there are black people in the wire

[IMEnchMan]

"y'all can't be playing no checkers on no chessboard yo!" chess is a metaphor.

[Applemask]

This is the best scene in the history of television.

[sickatlien]

Lets not get ahead of ourselves now.

[Applemask]

I told you a billion times I never exaggerate.

[kevsul47]

this the queen..she smart she fierce..

[Scottmachin]

Cuning? Cunt, more like. Half way through season 4, you fucked it up.

[misternogood]

thats your fault for being a YEAR LATE

[Scottmachin]

Mind your own business, fucknut. Joking, dude.

I'm not bothered, really. It's the best show on TV, and as you say, I should have realised it before now.....

[poului]

Yep. Thanks for that spoiler mate.

[Cuning66]

Shit man I'm sorry. I wasnt thinkin when I posted that. Real sorry man. Keep watchin though. Its a great show.

[LloydIrvin4]

they died before this season so its not much of a spoiler ;)

[tweezee]

D'angelo reminds me of myself so much. Deep inside he wanna get the hell away from the street life so badly. To quote him, i just wanna start all over again. But there is always sumthing holding you back. He did'nt have the heart for that lil so called "GAME" i really really was sad to see what happen to him. It only shows how if you got too much heart, you can't get no play time N that so called GAME.....If you ask why i say so called? Stick around in the street life for awhile. You'll See.

[starcalibre]

why yes I am deep in the drug game that is why I am posting on youtube

[zizzy86]

love da wire

[SubUrbanMedia]

Please allow embedding :-(. Thanks for uploading, though, one of my favorite wire scenes!

[Kidcapro]

Feel like them lil Bitches on the chess board...he got capped quick...R.I.P BODIE. Characters is powerful

[KPrince2]

@Kidcapro not really hes actually the pawn that lasted long but he never got to be queen

[mississippilover101]

bodie is so sexy
