No Vanity-Based Business Plan Can Fail in New York

Jamaican guy holding full length mirror: One dollar to look at yourself in the mirror! One dollar! I am the first to come up with this idea! Don't steal it, or I'll sue you... [He's ignored.] Okay, first time is free! C'mon, first time free! Or gimme a quarter!
Laughing kid: Yo, what are you smoking, man?
Jamaican guy: I smoke blood! I don't drink blood, I smoke blood!
Unrelated Jamaican girl: Why you so loud? Shut up already.
Jamaican guy: I'm sorry, ma. You're so beautiful. I look at you, I just can't believe how beautiful you are. How 'bout you gimme one dollar, look in the mirror?
