John, I didn't mean to bother you, but I wanted to be sure you agreed with what I said about this business on narcotics today, this permissiveness.
Do you agree with me?

And I'm going to take a very hard line on it tomorrow, but I want to be sure you thought it was the right thing.
Good.
Okay, good.
Good.
