Russell 'Stringer' Bell Quotes

You know, Avon, you gotta think about what we got in this game for, man. Huh? Was it the rep? Was it so our names could ring out on some f***ing ghetto streetcorners, man? Naw, man. There’s games beyond the f***ing game.

While back, I took a stroll through the pit, I saw that kid we got running things down there, Poot. Now, he got the cell phone I gave him for the business, right there on his hip. But, the nigga got another cell phone that only rang when the p***y called. Now, if this no-count nigga got two cell phones, how the f*** you gonna sell any more of them motherf***ers? That’s market saturation.

That’s good. That’s like a 40-degree day. Ain’t nobody got nothing to say about a 40-degree day. 50? Bring a smile to your face. 60? S***, niggas is damn near barbecuing on that motherf***er. Go down to 20, niggas get they bitch on. Get they blood complaining. But 40? Nobody give a f*** about 40. Nobody remember 40, and y’all niggas is giving me way too many 40-degree days. What the f***?

We ain’t gotta dream no more, man.[to Avon]

This here game is more than the rep you carry, the corner you hold. You gotta be fierce, I know that. But more than that, you gotta show some flex. Give and take on both sides.[to Bodie]

The thing is, no matter what we call heroin, it’s gonna get sold. The s*** is strong, we’re gonna sell it. The s*** is weak, we’re gonna sell twice as much. You know why? ‘Cause a fiend, he’s gonna chase that s*** no matter what.[to D’Angelo]

Adjourn your asses.
