I think this quote from Omar sums up everything pretty well with the drug trade in Baltimore. Omar to Levy in court:

Levy: You are amoral, are you not? You are feeding off the violence and the despair of the drug trade. You're stealing from those who themselves are stealing the lifeblood from our city. You are a parasite who leeches off--

Omar: Just like you, man.

Levy: --the culture of drugs... Excuse me, what?

Omar: I got the shotgun. You got the briefcase. It's all in the game, though, right?

Not a signature line but one of my favorites:
"Do the chair know we gonna look like some punk-arse bitches out there?"

" Makes me sick, motherfricker, how far we done fell"

I think that scene between Bunk and Omar is the pinnacle of the series.

Excellent one brgfather. That scene with Bunk and Omar
Is definitely at the top.

My favorite is the conversation between Stringet and Avon on the balcony at night.
