Sean:

Roger:

Sean:
Roger, you're 17-years-old. Where you gonna be in four years, huh?
Roger:
I don't know.
Sean:
Answer me. Where you gonna be when you're 21?
Roger:
Probably in jail.
Sean:
What? Look at me! What'd you say?
Roger:
In jail.
Sean: [Bends down to talk with Roger; Stands up, grabs the newspaper, and walks away]
No. You're not gonna be in jail. You're gonna be dead. You're a good kid, Roger. But you're gonna be back out on the streets tomorrow. Back in your hood with your homeys. You wanna stay alive, you gotta make a life for yourself outside of your set. If you don't do that, if you don't find an alternative, you're gonna die. If you want any kinda help, if you want to talk, I'm here for you. Think about it.
