OK, this is a long shot because I don't suppose any of you who have the DVD (or access on any subscription service if available) will feel quite so hugely generous with your time as to check this for me, but what the hell, here goes anyway.
Season 2, Episode 6 ("All Prologue") of The Wire opens with a pre-credits teaser, being the start of Omar's testimony for the prosecution in the murder trial of Bird. The last exchange in the teaser before it cuts to the opening credits is where the prosecution attorney asks Omar how he can have been robbing drug dealers for several years and lived to tell the tale. Omar shrugs and replies " [something something], I suppose". I can't make head or tail of what Omar says. It sounds like "date or time, I suppose", which makes no sense to me. Can anyone shed any light on it? Is he saying something different or is it that "date or time" makes sense as an answer to that question in some way that's gone over my head?
