That's what ultimately got Joe killed by Marlo. His greed and fear got in the way of common sense. If he knew Marlo was looking for Omar and yet he didn't use his resources to eliminate the threat.

"A proposition may fall kindly on your ear." In this kind of setup, a line that should have sounded too fancy and would have failed. But somehow, it's perfect. It's kind of like a plea, but it doesn't feel like the usual begging. Exactly the way someone like Prop Joe would speak in this situation.
the smartest rhethorical move to me was of him, in a tense situation with a -big- gun in his face, to conjure up the measured line about omar being the one who should speak his mind, since he has the high guard. That evened out the conversation. well played, Joe!

@@KtotheG Not just see through it. That's fine. It's the combination of seeing through and seeing it as weak. He wanted it all for himself, like Avon. He wasn't like Stringer or Joe, who thought they could bring organization to the drug trade. He didn't think about anything but being at the top.

Amanda Yeo Haha I would be too with that type of piece being pointed at me from inches away. Shit'll blow your head off and make a new doorway in the wall behind you haha
The fact that Joe dropped the info to Omar about where Marlo's card game was gonna be held, in order to demonstrate that even he can be fucked with, and so he should join the New Day Co-Op.
1:14 "I need you to resist your natural inclination to do anything twisted up in this here play, you feel me?" Oh this so good. 1:32 "Go ahead and write my ticket so I can tip on out" LMAO
@@samuelmuiruri4704 He actually did, he even states it to Serghei, when he comes in with Nick in season 2. Says something along the lines: "...my nephew. And I can't cap his ass cause I get an earful at thanksgiving".
the moment omar and marlo put the squeeze on him he should leave at once. he delayed too long, but i guess money was a strong magnet. old andre was in a similar situation, joe should learn from him.
“My sister’s boy” The fact that he mentions Cheese is his sister’s kid and not just run of the mill nephew seems like Joe telling Omar to make sure Cheese isn’t hurt.
Nah he was letting him know he wasn’t sending a crash dummy (a person he doesn’t care about) it’s wasn’t about him being hurt they all could’ve died at that moment. Joe was trying to save himself. Because he was the bread winner of his family. Naturally every one else would be saved.. Random Analysis Remember how he was introduced? He was a devious con man that did good business. Avon made him feel inferior, and called him out on the court. He put his ringer in and won again the basketball game. Then he gave Omar, Avon’s pager number and code. Then he met Stringer and seen a way to get the real estate in the city. And made stringer handle brother mozzon, even though he wanted to stay in the projects. Imma stop there because ion even think you would make it this far. 🤷🏿♂️
Man I always come and watch this clip now and then, literally can't get tired of watching it, the conversation, the acting, the scenery I mean the whole thing is amazing to me personally
I remember when I saw Robert Chew as Prop Joe I thought man this guy is talented, but he is probably not going to be around for long given his extreme weight problem. I looked him up just now and unfortunately I was right. He died in January 2013 of a heart attack. I hate it when I'm right like that. Damnit! He was truly talented actor and will be missed.
that ''ran out of time'' phrase by omar is so dope. he also litterally explains how joe ran out of time bein devious. gettin caught up in that webb, it was only a matter of time before joe ran out of time and gettin caught. LMAO the writing on this show is legendary.
man, saw this episode for the first time last night. acting on point. just seeing Joe's face brings up a feeling of anxiousness. well done wire crew. bravo.
out of all the brilliant scenes in this brilliant show, this one might be my favorite. at least my favorite omar scene , but it’s so hard to just pick one
Song playing in the background is Seven-Ay-Pocky Way by Jason Marsalis (1977). We jam that joint during Mardi Gras. Wat the hell Prop Joe know about that song ??? LMAO
This was the first scene I ever saw of the wire. I got hooked onto the show too late. I remember flipping thru channels and seeing this. That’s what made me go go back to season 1
this video omits the critical part "you're going to serve up Marlo." It's the whole point of the visit. The edit is clean and other viewers may not have even noticed.
And all you "prop joe heads" wonder why he got popped he was playing both sides his time was going to come anyway. It's just said that his nephew betrayed him to do it
Omar pulled out the biggest strap ever created lmaooo
Lol ryte shit look fake as fuck!😂
.44 Magnum or .50 Desert Eagle unless I mistake myself...the tell is the triangular barrel, which all Desert Eagles have.
@@Reese_Turner5043 It's for real, that Desert Eagle, just not practical typically. Big as a brick, weighing in at four and a half pounds...only gun more ridiculous is a .600 Nitro Express.

- Ran out of time.
Literally the best dialogue ever made.
@ I don't think he's ever read a book or watched anything other than this clip
@@Tmcclernon people love to d ride anything related to the wire. He probably hasn't picked up a book in his life if he thinks thats the case.
Its a cool one liner, but as these nerds say, not the best dialogue of all time.
The end of Prop Joe-predicted by Omar
You got me confused with a man who repeats himself
Anyone else notice Slim Charles chewing out the door man lol
haha good catch
"You out here nappin!"
of course.
It's my favourite part!
Ain't no excuse! Lol
I get the feeling the writers had more fun writing Omar-Joe scenes than any others.
Insert CleverName I think so too!! But I gotta throw in every scene with Wee Bey also.
Joe was all talk
Omar was all action
Through it all, Omar still supports Joe's clock business lol
He supports legitimate business
Mans gots to has a code
Slot Hut indeed
Supporting black businesses. Omar the hood legend.
1:40 Joe and Slim realise they're done for, as Omar has proof (the ticket) for Marlo that he met with Joe. Cheese doesn't pick this up, of course.
Shit, I'm no Cheese and I still didn't catch it
Good pull. You are?
Good catch!
That's what ultimately got Joe killed by Marlo. His greed and fear got in the way of common sense. If he knew Marlo was looking for Omar and yet he didn't use his resources to eliminate the threat.
well done!
"now Joe, I need you to resist you natural inclination to do anything twisted up in this here play"... LOL if Joe wasn't shook then, he was after that statement. Omar pulled his whole card
omar was sheer badass.
4REAL
I love that he actually comes back to pick it up and pays him too.
Sounded like T.I.
He knew what inclination meant but not occupation😂

He a wise nigga fr
Joe thinking on his feet--kept him alive for a long time until Marlo finally cancelled his ticket.
the smartest rhethorical move to me was of him, in a tense situation with a -big- gun in his face, to conjure up the measured line about omar being the one who should speak his mind, since he has the high guard. That evened out the conversation. well played, Joe!

"It's over Joe, I have the high card"
Man, that soft kick by Slim Charles was fucking hilarious.
they should kick harder but not too hard, to make it look more real.
Prop Joe: You're the one with the high card, you should speak your mind...smart enough to crawl out of his grave indeed.
Joe was Smart (He just had a fucked up Family that he shoulda never got incolved)
Joe misread Marlo. He thought he could neutralize him by showing him guidance, not realizing that Marlo could see right through that
@@KtotheG Not just see through it. That's fine. It's the combination of seeing through and seeing it as weak. He wanted it all for himself, like Avon. He wasn't like Stringer or Joe, who thought they could bring organization to the drug trade. He didn't think about anything but being at the top.
Boy that talk game unles to marlo
@@KtotheG man I just realised that Marlo was like Hitler. Everybody thought they can neutralize him and that he was flexing and punching above his weight while in reality he was a sociopath who had no respect for any social rules
Omar uses "prop comedy" on Prop Joe with the clock gag. I guess we can see what makes the writers tick. Thanks I'll show myself to the door.
"You're on a roll!' - Carlo
Mason Hancock LOL!!
😂😂😂
It all works like clockwork
lmfao
That Desert Eagle looks like an aircraft carrier.
Ikr. That's that attitude adjuster
SR71 blackbird
It’s a mind changer, change your mind into liquid
Nuclear weapon
looks like the whole carrier group
Omar got a fuckin cannon
Desert Eagle my friend
This whole show is poetry, it's like a modern day American Shakespeare.
Yeah like when sharrod dies because of the drugs meant to kill somebody else and bubbles is in tears that’s some Shakespeare shit right there
indeed.....like when di and avon visit the old man in hospital ...it was reminding me of alas poor yoric I knew him well as avon was talking about him
It's just a normal show
never thought about it like that, thats exactly what it is.
Real talk
slim charles anger over the stick up boy is just hilarious
laughing hard at 2:25 slim out there hassling the doorman "The fuck is you doing out here?"
"this some shameless shit" lol Cheese got that right
Omar looks badass in Season 4. The Cowboy duster + Body armor plus a motherfucking desert eagle combo.
"And just at this moment, I managed to crawl out my own damn grave..." Such a good delivery.
Too bad he had to crawl back in 😢
@@patrick4662more like cheese kicked him in
@@MrTHEMONEEMAKER forreal. Worst nephew in the history of television.
Prop Joe to Omar in season 1
"You ever steal from me, I'll kill ya whole family"!
Funny how things change
"Now go ahead and write my ticket so I can tip on out" best line
smoothest way I've EVER heard anyone say "I'll be back". Unreal.
Everyone on this show played the fuck out of their roles
Hell yeah this is a masterpiece
Nope there was um uh that one guy wayyyyy far in the background was playing baseball during the Avon prison scene and I just didn’t buy it
“Tickle my fancy fatman”
LMAO 😂
I work this into conversation whenever I can. Or, "Tickle my pickle fatman."
"What the fuck happened to our boy on the door?" Notice at the end of the clip Slim is chewing the fuck out of the muscle.
"Omar to one side holding a spade, and maybe Marlo to the other with a shovel, and just at this moment, I manage to crawl out my own damn grave. No way do I crawl back in. "
God damn, this show was so fucking outstanding. The writing, the acting, etc. A true modern day masterpiece.
Couldn't have said it better myself!!!
I laughed so hard seeing prop joe dab sweat off his skin after omar left. he was truly shook lmao
Amanda Yeo Haha I would be too with that type of piece being pointed at me from inches away. Shit'll blow your head off and make a new doorway in the wall behind you haha
John Doe i have never seen more upturned lips on prop joe EVER

Robert Chew and now Michael K. Such a tragedy. 2 great characters portrayed brilliantly by 2 phenomenal actors.
Rip to them both
I was thinking about that as I watched this scene. Lance Reddick is gone now, too. 😔
" I need you to resist your natural inclination to do something twisted." PRICELESS! This show has some of the best one liners ever. I love it!
RIP Michael K Williams and Robert F Chew
"Ran out time!" ..... great fucking line
The look on PropJoe face when Omar pull out that cannon, gets me every time 😂😂😂
At that point Prop Joe should've gathered all his money..and left Baltimore..by nightfall
He should have asked Old Face Andre to hide him
its what i do not understand, i guess he did not think /know cheese was so moronic, but there you are. he still thought he had time,lo
Marlo said it best your not going to change anymore better than i am going too

Slim outside schooling the lookout is the details I love in this . Brilliant 👍
they should have played that up a little. it was funny.
Cheese’s look when Prop Joe says “My sisters Boy”. 😂 😂😂. Priceless!!
That's the moment cheese lost respect and loyalty for Joe
Joe looked shook when he hear marlo's name
Yes, cause now he knows he is between a rock ( Omar ) and a hard place ( Marlo) , and in the end it led to his death.
RIP both legends
One of the Best Scenes in Television History. Very,very clever.

lasnumber. that spanish dude is Omar lover. its in the episode when he sends hin for hobey nut Cheerios. tgey i. bed together naked
He actually does want the clock to be fixed. He picks it up later, and pays Joe for it.
Yeah, it was probably his grandma's. Still, you can tell Omar took his time writing that "it's out of time" line and rehearsed in front of the mirror
@@bernardsoul5186 Lol.. It was definitely his grandma's. I would think so at least.

Yeah .... Prop Joe "crawled back in". RIP, Robert Crew.
The acting was the best I have seen. Maybe it wasn't acting at all.
Tommy O Donovan Robert Chew taught acting in Baltimore. As a matter of fact he coached the four boys in season 4.
"See now Joe, I need you to resist your natural inclination to do something twisted up in this here play...you feel me" The best damn lines!!!
I was happy Cheese finally got his. I already liked Slim, even more after.
That was for Joe
Prop Joe lookin down the barrel of a .50 cal.......Ain't no joke homey.
C Williams. A desert eagle tho, go big or go home
C Williams That shit would’ve put a 5th eye into that fat mfuckin’ head 😂
Whoever wrote the script in the wire has a beautiful grasp of the English language as well as street b-more slang. Huge talent.

Damn they cut this scene. It cuts the dialog where he says he wants to "take everything Marlo owns". I heard they cut this show for reruns, but DAMN.
What an incredible actor. RIP Prop Joe.
“You trust him?”
“ *I trust his fear.* “
Great line.
Omar with the broken clock gag loool he took a prop to prop joe just to make a point. The level of extra I aspire to be
LOL @ Slim yelling at the guard at the end of the clip.
Prop joe surprised Omar know about the New Day Co-Op meeting yet there’s a big ass hotel sign announcing it. 🤷🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Slim kicking Tremaine is so funny 😹 Poor guy already had such a rough day. Way to kick him when he is down.
2:22 i never noticed Slim Charles going off on dude by the door
Omar pulled that big bird out!!
🤣🤣🤣
that desert eagle is a bit ridiculos
He used it to rob a storefront with bulletproof glass an episode before.
Not if you can handle it.
Yo Payback yeah, but Omar rates it
lol that ol school robocop shit
It was more to send a message.
That gun is saying whole lot without making any noise...talk about OVERkilling yo ass
"Tickle my fancy fat man". Love the one liners like this in the wire.
Great show
out of all the brilliant scenes in this brilliant show, this one might be my favorite. at least my favorite omar scene , but it’s so hard to just pick one
"My sister's boy, he do the drop, we call you, give up the spot" I didn't realized how much rhythm Joe put into that phrase.
"Yo Omar, take a deep breath, proposition may fall kindly on your ear" damn Prop is scared :D his face is priceless.
The music fits this scene PERFECTLY
Song playing in the background is Seven-Ay-Pocky Way by Jason Marsalis (1977). We jam that joint during Mardi Gras. Wat the hell Prop Joe know about that song ??? LMAO
The creator of the show David Simon also created Treme which is set in New Orleans. He's probably got some sort of roots there.
Or he loved New Orleans music-as everybody should.
You shoot Joe with that gat that bullet gon' end up in Brooklyn.
cmon Joe ain't no time for no lies na lmao
LOL Slim at the end, "THE FUCK IS U DOIN OUT HERE"
This was the first scene I ever saw of the wire. I got hooked onto the show too late.
I remember flipping thru channels and seeing this. That’s what made me go go back to season 1
Season 1 was pretty boring
RIP “God Omar Coming “
Slim, the Warrant Officer handing out discipline to the sleeping troop.😅
Good leader. No killing, just a swift kick and peepee slap.
Slim barking at the guard on the ground afterwards. That’s some detailed script work.
