The courtroom wasn’t prepared for what Omar Little (Michael Kenneth Williams) would say when he took the stand in this scene — but that’s just Omar being Omar. #HBOReplays brings you the must-rewatch scenes from your favorite shows, specials, and more. #HBO #TheWire

In the drug-ridden streets of West Baltimore, there are good guys and there are bad guys. Sometimes you need more than a badge to tell them apart.

A real court room wouldnt let these conversations continue and made them shorter, as if there were just having a simple conversation. Good show tho. And Omar was a Legend after the show as a folk tale…
Arguably the best character in any drama ever.
Even the judge looked at Levy after Omar’s briefcase line like “well”
What can I say? Omar was a repeat costumer.
This is why i call the Criminal Justice System "the Machine" Omar is right.
I think this is the only time Levy loses his composure and can't find anything to say. Even when Pearlman had proof Levy committed a crime, he was able to keep cool and negotiate with her.
Judge be like 'he got you there?'
RAT
I love that even the judge can't help but giggle at Omar saying he shot Mike-Mike in the hind parts lol
Yea, i think it's time for me to rewatch this series again.
As a lawyer’s daughter, this makes me laugh every time 😆
Phelan giving a big ol' shrug while looking like he's having his best day in court ever makes this scene all the better.
He had no idea that when he read McNulty the riot act for D'Angelo's acquittal that it would lead to the most entertaining cross-examination of his entire career.
This is one of my two favorite scenes in The Wire. The other is Brother Muzone meeting Omar in the alley. Great writing and great acting.
Love this scene
Omar is a criminal. Levy is a lawyer and respected member of society.
Omar, the wildcard with a code
Mr little aka omar aka a giant.. Rip..
That tie was an overstatement
Omar, the best character ever written and played on TV , Rest in Peace Michael K Williams ❤
1:40 Omar is so cute when he nods like a little boy when Levy tries to call him out. He actually would've made a great lawyer.
One of the greatest characters ever written in a drama. RIP
That lawyer is real life Saul Goodman
I wish Omar had said "… riddle me this Mr Attorney, are we not part of the same Game"?
They said he HAD to wear a tie in court………. So he did😂😂
Check mate!!!😂😂😂😂
Best line in the series. And that is truly saying something.
Love how Levy looks at the judge like “Do something, he’s proving me wrong” and the judge is just like dude you asked the questions.
How Omar called out the criminal defense lawyer as also being a profiteer from the drug trade, since he regularly profits from defending the interests of his Druglord client. Omar countered the educated Lawyer's attempt to undermine his credibility as a Prosecution Witness, without the aid of a High School graduate's vocabulary.
No matter lying or not Omar was a sucka for taking a stand and doing this. Great scene tho
Talk about telling the truth
Greatest street smarts Omar
Imagine if Omar followed up with: "I mean…you getting paid right? This isn't one of those Poor Bono cases or something. Who's paying YOU; that's what I wanna know?"
I stopped swearing because of a line Michael (Omar) delivered.
This scene is one of the best scenes ever, when Omar and the lady lawyer first met she got the impression that he is just some uneducated and ignorant person from the low poverty region of the city. Infact she thought it was hopeless and tries to downplay his character by asking McNulty to get atleast a tie for the testimony.
Omar proved the lady and the whole court wrong taking her by surprise of his wits and skills and how he handled himself in the court.
Check mate
The man kept it 100%. Whether legit or illegit, it's the game. While there are lines that I don't cross due to my own values, beliefs, and standards, ultimately, it's about one thing: survival.
“This is who you are!”
Omar: smiles and nods
and everybody has guns in america?
joe the ridiculous things?
