Peruvian Cocaine
[Intro: from the film "Scarface"][Host:] I've heard whispers about the financial supportyour government receives from the drug industry.
[Guest:] Well, the irony of this, of course, is thatthis money, which is in the billions, is coming fromyour country. You see, you are the major purchaser ofour national product, which is of course cocaine.
[Host:] On one hand, you're saying the United Statesgovernment is spending millions of dollars toeliminate the flow of drugs onto our streets. At thesame time, we are doing business with the very samegoverment that is flooding our streets with cocaine.
[Guest:] Mmm-hmm, si, si. Let me show you a few othercharacters that are involved in this tragic comedy.

[Wesley Snipes - from "New Jack City"]I'm not guilty. YOU'RE the one that's guilty. Thelawmakers, the politicians, the Columbian drug lords,all you who lobby against making drugs legal. Justlike you did with alcohol during the prohibition.You're the one who's guilty. I mean, c'mon, let's kickthe ballistics here: Ain't no Uzi's made in Harlem.Not one of us in here owns a poppy field.
