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
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.
