Other Way = You gotta hustle to make that paper you know?

@eidon513 The true irony of Marlo's fate is that he received exactly what his onetime rival Stringer Bell always wanted (he can become a legitimate businessman)... but Marlo doesn't want it.
Stringer Bell hated "The Game," and wanted to be a suit. Marlo lived for the game.

Marlo got bled dry by that politician just like stringer bell lol

@ZeusMantooth Unlike you, a lot of them probably went past their intro courses.

I don't see why people should not explain the subtext. The ultimate purpose of stories is to entertain us by teaching us something about ourselves and the world in which we live. If we cannot learn to decipher the message that we are being given (and 'The Wire' is certainly rich in the profundity and subtext of its messages), what is the point of even watching superb shows like this one?

@eidon513 A fate worse than death for the character. Poetic justice at its best.

'You want it one way...'.
The Guard is the one who is supposed to be in charge. He doesn't exercise his authority out of fear but still wants to have his way by reasoning with Marlo. He obviously doesn't watch the Wire.
'.....but its the other way.'
This is the hood. Marlo calls the shots. Literally. The guard has no authority.
Thats my take and I agree that its a power play.

The point of the scene is that Marlo is obsessed with his power. This is a demonstration of the same character trait he shows by killing people he doesn't need to: he enjoys power and uses it just to do it, not solely for practical purposes. In response to a few comments down: David Simon himself said that he felt Marlo received a kind of justice. Even though he "survived physically" as one guy put it, his name is dead. The kind of power he craved he no longer has. Money is meaningless to him.
