Adult Chris: [v.o.] We had only been living in Bed-Stuy for a year when the crime rate started to go through the roof. In the late '90s, they had the Internet boom, but in the '80s, we had the crack boom. It used to take years to become a junkie, but crack cut that down to 37 minutes. Even on my block, things were starting to get out of control. The muggers were getting mugged.
Jerome: [to a boy] Let me hold a quarter.
Mugger: What's up, little man? Let me hold a dollar right quick. I'll take that quarter, too.
