Greg: Well, with all due respect sir, it's not a baked potato. Did I ever tell you I used to live in New York?

Greg: A hundred fifty-eight nanograms per mil. Definitely not lethal. The same with your Xanax. Quarter-mil tabs, hundred micrograms per liter. Again, not lethal. There's addicts walking around Times Square with more drugs in their system.
