(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.”
