"But," too much smoke in the air, not much time before he'd have to excuse himself, "I'm not sure how I can help."

"You can help by taking this gun cane, calling a meeting with Tesla, and, well, you're good at math, right?" is what I would have had Scarsdale Vibe answer.
"too much smoke in the air, not much time before he'd have to excuse himself"
Only the most terrible and evil people can inhale so much smoke in one sitting. I don't have scientific proof of this but if I did, you couldn't trust my results because I don't believe in evil anyway. It's just bad things being done by selfish people who don't give a shit about anything but their own needs and desires. If you want to call that evil, well, sure. Whatever. I just use the word "evil" because it's easier than discussing the philosophy of good and evil every time the word is used. Just like when a scientist refers to God in a metaphorical way. Nobody wants to have to have a side discussion about the actual existence of nonsense. We all just understand that they didn't really mean it. I also read Elfquest and didn't have to stop every few pages to reassure myself that elves weren't real.
