Igby : Why couldn't she have been a fucking smoker.
Oliver : This has nothing to do with her being in such wonderful shape. The cause of our trouble was our inability to come up with a drug short of paint thinner, that would be at least somewhat novel to her system. She's built up a tolerance to everything.
Igby : A tolerance? She's taking her fucking afternoon nap.
