Line 220:
{{quote|'''Lester:''' Ain't he married or some shit now?}}
* [[Facing the Bullets One-Liner]]: {{spoiler|Stringer Bell}}'s last words, when cornered by {{spoiler|Omar Little and Brother Mouzone}}, are "Get on with it [[Killed Mid-Sentence|motherf-]]".
* [[Fake American]]: McNulty and Stringer Bell are both played by Brits; Carcetti is played by an Irishman
* [[Fake Nationality]]: Sergei, supposedly from [[Insistent Terminology|the Ukraine]], is played by Chris Ashworth, born and raised in the USA. In-universe example with {{spoiler|"The Greek"... who's not even a Greek. He does head a mostly-Greek gang though.}}
* [[Faking the Dead]]: The audience is led to believe that {{spoiler|1=McNulty}} is dead, and a wake is being held for him {{spoiler|in a Baltimore pub}}; that is, until {{spoiler|he then starts laughing uncontrollably when one of his fellow officers makes a joke about him. It turns out that the "funeral" is a retirement party in the uniquely morbid style of the Baltimore P.D.}}
* [[Failure Is the Only Option]]: No matter who gets put away, the Game is the Game.
