The Wire Subtitles Season 2
Greek subtitles from 1.
David Simon . Triandos had to employ an oversized catcher’s mitt to have any hope of getting through a game without a dozen passed balls. After the script was circulated and the entire writing staff gathered itself from the bout of collective laughter, I was suddenly filled with a sharp pang of guilty horror: Was Triandos still alive? He’d only be in his early 7. I calculated. I mean, I know the guy is, legally, some sort of public figure as an ex- professional ballplayer, but how do you throw this joke up on national television without his say- so? I was nauseous at the thought of big, slow Gus Triandos, now wrinkled and weathered and walking with a cane amid a copse of cherubic grandchildren.
Yeah, great. Make that guy into a blowjob joke on HBO. I told Price that while Gus Triandos was perfect, he needed to think of an alternate for Herc, and it should preferably be some celebrity or semi- celebrity who had already departed this vale. But Richard, when you speak of me in the days to come, remember what I did for you here and speak well.”It is hard to describe how fast I was speaking when I got on the phone with Gus Triandos, trying desperately to turn the corner with the old fella, to make him see that the joke wasn’t really on him, but on this character named Herc, this big, lumbering narcotics cop in Baltimore, Maryland. No, no, he wasn’t saying that you had sex with him. And he’s not even saying that you would want to have sex with him. It’s not about you. Really, trust me.“I’m not sure I understand,” Triandos said.“Okay, let me send you the pages.
And if not, we won’t use your name. Just look at the pages, okay?”“This is a television show? Really?”Christ. Catching Wilhelm was miserable,” he laughed. It’s just a joke.”I never had a chance to speak to Mr. Triandos after that, to hear how that episode actually landed on him. But I like to imagine him enjoying the joke — and the improbable cultural reference — for years to come.
David, I love all your work, though I am a latecomer. My girlfriend and I rapturously blew through the Wire this past winter and are now digging through Treme, much. Watch For His Son Online Hitfix.
