(Scene opens with a drug dealer outside of a convenience store walking on a sidewalk and approaches the camera.)
Drug dealer: "What's this? What's this? Documentary? Man, right here, this is my business."
(The drug dealer wanders up and down the sidewalk looking for potential customers and checks a pay phone for coins.)
Drug dealer: "Buying, selling, whatever, you know? Slow! Business is off, man. Sales are down. Seems like half my
customers, they don't even need me anymore, you know? I mean they're getting high for free…Out of their medicine cabinets."
(He throws up his arms and shakes his head in annoyance.)
Drug dealer: "How am I supposed to compete with that!? You got kids?"
(Drug dealer points at the cameraman.)
Cameraman: "Yeah."
Drug dealer: "Well, next time something goes south with your kids don't look at me, man. Ain't my problem. I didn't do it. (Laughs.)
I wish I did!"
Narrator: "Teens don't need a drug dealer to get high."
