Question: What does Naylor promise to do? Movie title: Thank You for Smoking Movie plot: Nick Naylor is a handsome, smooth-talking tobacco lobbyist and the vice-president of a tobacco lobby called the "Academy of Tobacco Studies", which for 15 years has been "researching" the link between tobacco smoking and lung cancer. They claim that their researchfunded primarily by tobacco companieshas found no definitive evidence of any linkage.

Question: Why did Abel claim he couldn't shut down the lights? Movie title: Lakeview Terrace Movie plot: This article's plot summary may be too long or excessively detailed. Please help improve it by removing unnecessary details and making it more concise. (August 2013) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) Abel Turner (Samuel L. Jackson) is a twenty-eight-year veteran of the LAPD. A single and widowed father, he is particularly strict with his two children, Marcus (Jaishon Fisher) and Celia (Regine Nehy). As his kids leave for school, the new neighbors begin moving in next door. They are a young interracial couple, Chris and Lisa Mattson (Patrick Wilson and Kerry Washington), who are recently married and buying their first home. Chris's first exchanges with Abel have somewhat hostile undertones, with Abel making comments about Chris' smoking (which Chris hides from Lisa) and listening to hip hop music.

Abel attends a housewarming party hosted by Chris and Lisa. He is garrulous but has an edge, and criticizes Chris and his friends for their liberal political and social tendencies. He also exposes Chris' smoking to Lisa, as Chris has been discarding his cigarette butts on Abel's lawn.

They suspect Abel and call the police. However, because of Abel's status within the LAPD, the arriving officers are unable to do anything.
