I wouldn't have expected a bunch of 15-year olds working the corner to wax poetic about drug culture, so I thought the scene worked pretty well considering the characters and context involved. Actually, I thought it carried a fair bit of dramatic heft considering it was the younger generation stuck at the bottom of the ladder having that conversation. It would have seemed a bit cheesy if the guys at the top were playing that scene.
It's been a while since I've watched the series though, so maybe I'm just remembering it better than it was.
