Wasn't the nail gun dude, he low key tried to MAN splain that shit to Snoop, who probably knew more than he did. He wasn't patronizing though. The Florist was better.
@@lenhalz8086 snoop clearly didn’t know shit about nail guns lol so he kindly explained how it works. You’re one of the sjw tards always looking to be a victim of micro aggressions 🤣
Who knows, maybe the florist was a gang member in his younger years. You know like Poot but he got out of the game and started working at a shoe store.
Word! Like definitely still within the range of "just making sure I understood you," but definitely leaning towards the "you've got to be pulling my leg" side of the spectrum.
1:17 - Bodie, still dissin’ D even in death. He viewed D as sort of a wimp, but still missed him somewhat and had a certain amount of grudging loyalty to him. The false narrative that D hung himself, reinforced Bodie’s view of him as a “weak ass n....”. However, just about everything Bodie knew about managing a corner was largely from D and strangely D was his most influential mentor. They shared a tortured relationship, with Bodie dissing D him one moment and giving him a ‘strong’ home-going the next. Bodie, through his funeral, wanted people to remember D from his hey day running one of ‘them Towers’ and not a guy from the pit who committed suicide. The purple machine gun, in Bodies mind, was symbolic of his view of D, but he changed it up to ‘strong colors’. Bodie was trying to somewhat redeem D’s name...
U see it in his & poot's face st the funeral, he was the only one that talked to them & schooled them like he gave af, D's heart wasn't in the game & Bodie's was just a lil too much but they respected each other. Ppl say D is a snitch but remember bodie was about to drop dime on Marlo's crew. Bodie was starting to see things D seen it towards the end. He kept it good with the police, he kept it real with his folks on the corner & turned a weak strip into a boom like d did with the pit & as he got older he started seeing the dope could be sold without all the bullshit, lessons from D
Omar’s was a shotgun with all the colors of the rainbow and everyone that comes drops their stash in the casket because they think the ghost of Omar will come get them
I think he was saying although D wasn’t that fierce, Bodie didn’t want to disrespect him by giving him a girly flower colour. Otherwise he ain’t nothin himself.
You notice the cans of spray paint in the back? Of course this was a simple continuity error, because he obviously has those so he can make whatever color arrangement he needs when people don't want to Shell out for shit like black roses. But still, black and red... Doesn't seem very appropriate for a funeral
Well it WAS mostly yellow with red windows, I’d say he did exactly what Bodie wanted. Bold colors. Go back and watch the funeral scene again and you’ll see.
Yellow does represent the color of the flowers used for day of the dead in Mexico. I know it’s different cultures and such, but we all seem to celebrate deaths. In case your wondering they’re called Cempasuchil
This scene is so intriguing because it shows how hardened and jaded Street life makes you. Kind of like when Tony Soprano goes to therapy, Bodie cannot even react for the question of how the death made him FEEL. Whereas Tony lashes out, Bodie simply ends the conversation and walks out. The trauma and brutality of street life requires one to just push their emotions down, and never let them out. So now he’s being forced to confront them, and that’s too painful so he just doesn’t acknowledge them. So much packed in to this little exchange
Man... looked through youtube at some of my favorite Wire scenes and completely forgot about this one until I started re watching. This is where Bodie started being a really likeable character for me and eventually turned into my favorite.
Yes it's a crying shame. At the time, the show wasn't considered a hit. It was always struggling with average viewership so I guess it wasn't that great a mark on their portfolio
D'Angelo picked the wrong time to have a heart. He got himself killed stupidly. Great actor and character. Bodie's dialogue is amazing. The actor playing him was in 3 of the big 4 gangster shows of the era (Breaking Bad is second tier); OZ, The Wire and in one brief scene, The Sopranos. His prose about, "if he ain't shxt, then neither am I", sums up the fragile brotherhood of street hoodlums. They may talk, no honor amongst thieves, but you really don't make it without partners-homeboys.
0:14 - That’s actually a good performance joke - you ask an audience member where they’re from and say “I’m sorry” like you didn’t hear them. Then after they repeat themselves you say, “Oh I heard you, I was just expressing my condolences!”
In season 4 after Namond tells a little kid about the workings of the game, the camera lingers on some graffiti that looks like D'Angelo's funeral flowers. It's always the little things with shows like this.
U think the show foreshadowed even this early bodies death with the close up to the angel west if u notice the eyes were looking towards bodie as he was walking out
@@truegrit9202 i assume they mean being made to shut up all your emotions and trying to look tough due to fear of looking weak. "forced masculinity" is a horrendous way of putting it though
@@jemimallah2591 that's it yeah. Probably could have worded it better. Real masculinity is about freedom and being able to follow one's inner emotions.
Bodie realized after he said if you stand with someone you gotta do it till the end that calling d weak was wrong so he quickly said I want him to look strong cuz he was my nigga
The florist says, "I think I'm on it, follow me" then leads Bodie to the back where all the "gangsta" arrangements are, like it's the porno section of a Blockbuster or some shit
Odd considering 75% of his business likely comes from the criminal element of the city. Florist should be more considerate of his client base and put gangster arrangements front and centre.
How does nobody in the comments understand this scene?😂😂 The florist is the reason why D got killed. He sent his cousin in prison to kill him. That’s why he’s so shocked when he realized who Bodie was talking about and where he repped. Y’all really gotta watch this show to understand this stuff.
I never put two and two together on this scene. Where in the show was this back story discussed? I find it more than karma that he is forced to make a flower arrangement for someone he had killed LMAO!
The florist had 2 other scenes in this season. He was the person who Stringer paid to have D'Angelo killed. The florist got his cousin, in prison to do it. Crazy.
hoan mcphee obviously not... you sound ignorant. look at @eric chung's link and prove to me it isn't the same guy.... and if it's not the same character, it's the same actor playing both parts. a lot of tv shows do that. for instance even the actor who was chris partlow played a police officer in season 1.
@@LaidbackNarration3000 Lets just ignore Stringer snitching and bringing down the organization. You mad at him for snitching Weebay,but he ends up taking the years yet you still mad because he didnt take Avon's deal?
Florist: Something in particular? Bodie: A funeral Florist: I'm sorry. Bodie: Nah a funeral you know. Florist: Oh no I mean I'm sorry for your loss. Bodie: Oh, yeah. Something amazes me that Bodie first thought the Florist was misunderstanding him, instead of knowing he was really sorry. I don't know if that's funny or sad.
I thought the best part was when the florist asked him if there were any words he'd like on the arrangement that tells how he feels about the loss. And Bodie couldn't think of anything to say.
It blows my mind that death in gang violence is so common in this world that even florists have specific products that cater to that community. It’s a detail I think gets overlooked in this scene because it’s full of great moments and dialogue. Just the fact these flower arrangements exist at all speaks volumes ❤️ damn I love this show

Antrizzle2009 that florist probably comes highly recommend because well, look at the gangsta arrangements. This isn’t his first rodeo in preparing flowers for deceased drug dealers nor will it be his last. Dude probably has the hood nigga funeral flowers game on lock in Bmore.
@@sickofguysnamedtodd2293 remember when Bodie mentioned something he knew exactly what he was talking about which is why he led him to the back room with the gangsta set up
The florist is the real mastermind behind all the drugs and violence in Baltimore. Think about it, who benefits more than him? The Wire is so deep, love discovering little details like this. The florist is The Greek
2:15 That's Bodie essential humanity right there. He *is* sad. He *is* going to miss D. He'll never say that out loud. The brotha that works there knows because he's been where Bodie is now (think Poot later in the shoe store). He understands that you have to be hard for the streets -- but that you still *feel.*
You got it wrong buddy. He don't care about the loss he only cares about representing and that's why he wants the projects depicted in the flowers instead of condolences.
@@conradvidenson2234 exactly what you said. He already said him and D wasn’t all that tight. Bodie did this out of loyalty to his crew and not because he felt made love for D
The only other show that came close was the Sopranos, they are my two favorite shows and none of the other ones I've seen has come close to hitting that "you just gotta laugh" vibe. GoT might have got there if it didn't fly off a cliff.
@@makani9004 I only watched the first season of the Sopranos and got bored aside from the Italian schtick entertainment. I tuned in for the final season....and the exact same shit was going on. I didn't really miss anything. Not true with Breaking Bad and The Wire. Totally different shows by the final season. I tell people to watch the first five seasons of Game of Thrones then shut it off cause it becomes so daffy and stupid. Only the dragon special FX kept up their end of the quality.
fleshcookie I don't see any indication of that. More than likely he's been a florist in Baltimore so long, and seen so much death from the game, he can understand what Brodie is saying, without him saying it
this is ironic how little love bodie shows for D when bodie ends up just like D but a little stronger. They both end up dead, they both smart and they both know how much shit is in the game. Bodie learned so much from D and he was one of the best soldiers a kingpin could try to recrruit
At Omar’s it was a shotgun with every color in the rainbow and all the drug dealers come to drop their stash in the casket because they think the ghost of Omar will come after them
The florist was my favorite character in this series. I wish David Simon did more with him in this show. In real life he died from a brain bleed. RIP to the Florist.
+Ignacio Varga Seriously....that scene hit me deep when I realized it was for real. Worst part was I watched it on Blu-ray and the episodes were out of order so the episode he die in came first and ruined it for me so I thought he came back to life.
Bodie had some of the most interesting character development on the show. He never quite lost his knucklehead persona, but he showed much more restraint and hustle as he moved along. I think had Dee taken over the organization Bodie would have been a solid right hand.
Remember the florist was a member of Corky's crew in the movie Fresh and he was also one of the only surviving members of the gang warfare that ensued towards the end. Maybe his character is a continuation of that storyline, symbolizing he was the Poot of his crew.
i love how conflicted bodie becomes when he's asked about expressing some personal feelings on the card. Bodie struggles to even process the idea of saying anything about D aside from his professional relationship with him.
Interesting scene. It has nothing to do with the story, only with Bodie. It is part of his development. He still believes all that "we're family stuff". When the florist asks him to write something about how he feels, he gets uncomfortable and bucks. I wonder if that is the first seed of him thinking, maybe it isn't as simple as "we're soldiers" Perhaps it is not so black and white.
One of the scene that pains me the most. The mixed feelings Bodie has about Dee are there because Bodie wouldn't expect him to do some shit like suicide. But he will never know the truth about how his friend died
1:30 That look. The florist is probably retired from the game, and saw past Bodie's ignorance to what really happened. Friend facing twenty years, couldn't take it and hung himself? No, the bosses clearly took him out to not take chances on a punk.
Love how the florists mannerisms change from professional to street the moment they go behind the scenes.
Versatile customer service
He probably used to be in the game himself
he never abandoned his professional bearing and demeanor. He probably owns the flower store today.
Just like Dion O'Banion

“Weak ass 🥷🏽 when you think about it”. And when u think actually about it, it was a weak ass move that killed him. Fantastic show
You've got to appreciate how Bodie interacted with everyone the same, whether they're in the game or not. No wonder why he didn't get on with Marlo.
I always loved this scene for some reason
god damn this might be one of the funniest scenes in the show, when they go to the back and i see rip and guns made out of flowers i start dying

lyricsfromsweden read that shit while he said it lol
Wish I coulda seen a flower arrangement of the projects when they buried Bodie, he deserved it for being a real soldier
He did deserve it but at that point in the series very few of his friends were around. Bodie probably had a very lonely funeral.
Poot was basically the only friend that remained from season 1, and I don't see his character doing this.
Bodie was always solid him n marlo my main guys
@@cjtaylor2359 LMAO @ tard
@@bucky90269 slim charles still around you know he had bodie
"Your boy was too fierce for the pink?"
Epic line.
Humour is such an underrated aspect of The Wire.
How times have changed.
For a moment, I thought your name was *Halfdad* 😆
"His name was Snot?"
"But...ain't no reason to drag his name down no further you know."
All D wants is to get out of the game. But this will be people remember him in the end, 221. U really can't escape even u dead
Tingting Gao what's the significance of 221 I forget as it's been a long time
A J one of them towers they used to sling dope out of.
Robert Teague thanks mate
I never noticed that. D truly was a tragic character until the end
always thought that was sad too
Is it just me or did that employee used to be in the game?
+fleshcookie like Poot
fleshcookie I don't see any indication of that. More than likely he's been a florist in Baltimore so long, and seen so much death from the game, he can understand what Brodie is saying, without him saying it
*Bodie
fleshcookie g
Actually when you say it he looks like the dude that Stringer gave money to to get rid of Dee
this is ironic how little love bodie shows for D when bodie ends up just like D but a little stronger. They both end up dead, they both smart and they both know how much shit is in the game. Bodie learned so much from D and he was one of the best soldiers a kingpin could try to recrruit
Bodie was a stand up dude.
I just hope someone walked in the store later and did the same for him
@@BxCortez2050 most of his day one's were gone by that point, so probably not.
Not really
@@MrMan-fx3ow maybe Slim Charles. But that’s all I can really think of
Yea, even when he sat down
This is the funniest scene in the whole damn series. "Weak ass nigga when you think about it..." Fucking Bodie lmfao.
This scene is kinda funny but kinda depressing at a same time
At Omar’s it was a shotgun with every color in the rainbow and all the drug dealers come to drop their stash in the casket because they think the ghost of Omar will come after them
The florist was my favorite character in this series. I wish David Simon did more with him in this show. In real life he died from a brain bleed. RIP to the Florist.
“You want the arrangement to look like a high rise housing project?” Makes me laugh every time
i had really thought D was gonna make it, and he was just unconcious or some shit.
+Ignacio Varga Seriously....that scene hit me deep when I realized it was for real. Worst part was I watched it on Blu-ray and the episodes were out of order so the episode he die in came first and ruined it for me so I thought he came back to life.
nateo200 What? Did you get a bootleg bluray our what? Haha...I'm watching it right now and it's in perfect order.
Ignacio Varga carnation AK-47 coming up
Yea the murder wasn't very realistic, he didn't look dead
Apparently strangulation is a gruesome way to go
that is a great fucking scene
Epic moment at 0:43 when the shopkeeper realizes who his customer actually is.
one of the the best hidden scenes in the whole series
JD Williams gave real life to this character. This show was so good.
Amazing follow up to Kenny Wangler!
Bodie had some of the most interesting character development on the show. He never quite lost his knucklehead persona, but he showed much more restraint and hustle as he moved along. I think had Dee taken over the organization Bodie would have been a solid right hand.
Remember the florist was a member of Corky's crew in the movie Fresh and he was also one of the only surviving members of the gang warfare that ensued towards the end. Maybe his character is a continuation of that storyline, symbolizing he was the Poot of his crew.
Dam sure you s
Bodie : "You stand with a nigga till the end"
Also Bodie : "He a weak ass nigga tho"
I lost it when I saw the flower gun😂😂
i love how conflicted bodie becomes when he's asked about expressing some personal feelings on the card. Bodie struggles to even process the idea of saying anything about D aside from his professional relationship with him.
"He's a weak ass nigga when you think about it" 😂 ...only Bodie
Interesting scene. It has nothing to do with the story, only with Bodie. It is part of his development. He still believes all that "we're family stuff". When the florist asks him to write something about how he feels, he gets uncomfortable and bucks. I wonder if that is the first seed of him thinking, maybe it isn't as simple as "we're soldiers" Perhaps it is not so black and white.

One of the scene that pains me the most. The mixed feelings Bodie has about Dee are there because Bodie wouldn't expect him to do some shit like suicide. But he will never know the truth about how his friend died
The Wire is the Greatest show ever. period. More people need to watch it.
just realized this is a callback to the first episode when Stringer tells D "you had a tower, you may have a tower again"
1:30 That look. The florist is probably retired from the game, and saw past Bodie's ignorance to what really happened. Friend facing twenty years, couldn't take it and hung himself? No, the bosses clearly took him out to not take chances on a punk.
Or he just feels awkward about hearing that cause of death
Did you have to say 'punk?' :(
“I think I’m on it.”
The most metal florist ever.
Metal??
True dat. How your boy fall?
"I think I am on it, follow me", this dude must be in the game before, looks like he is selling drug, LOL.
