00:10:09 - Interview with Pearl Gluck on the street in Borough Park: About Hasidic dress as an expression of modesty, including men's garb. Sexuality considered a beautiful, but very private and spiritual matter. (Audio only) Interview continues. Both men and women's dress codes are strict, not only women's.
00:12:50 - (Audio only) Unidentified man: About growing up in Borough Park and not understanding why Hasidic children wouldn't play with him. It's the same now for his kids. He doesn't know why they keep aloof except that it has something to do with their religion. Claims that Jews get preferential treatment when it comes to emergency medical attention and that they've "taken over the 66th police precinct." Hasidic children respect adults and the rabbis but not non-Jewish adults. They have different pricing in the stores based on whether you're Jewish or not.

00:18:48 - (Audio only) Unidentified woman: She doesn't know much about Hasidim but they're okay - good people. Another (Russian) woman: They're nice neighbors, likes seeing how Hasidic men interact with their children.
00:21:40 - (Audio only) Interview with Pearl Gluck: She was taught American history in school.
