What is that noise she makes?

She is awful, the character that is. I just wished someone would shoot her through the whole time she was in the show. That could possibly mean she's a good actress or that there is some evily good writing going on.

That noise is trippy, and it doesn't show in the subtitles. I watch the entire thing on DVD w/subtitles, a lot of the dialogue happens offscreen while we watch reaction shots.
Her character is fascinating. I'm almost thru Season 4, and want to know what is her relationship with Chris? Where did she come from? How did she get that way, harder than any B-more man? Why does Marlo trust her so much? Awesome. -

Thanks! I did see that too in the subtitles, I'm misremembering it as "ya heard". Strange, but I'm American-born and still needed subtitles to parse out the intent of this ghetto-patois.
I had to do the same thing on "The Shield", and there the creators/writers also decided (like The Wire) to use a modified vocabulary. In the DVD extras, they were saying that their 'consultants';-) told them the street language changes so quickly that real-time vocabulary would be outdated very quickly. It certainly wouldn't stand up to time, and would mark the series at a certain point in time.
Anyway, thanks. Also, she was in the news a few days ago for refusing to testify at her friend's murder trial.

This is the kind of thuglife ghetto behavior that will ensure things never get better for B-more, and frustrates the "murder police"! Cheers!
