Lacey: I’m confused.
How are the actual perfume addicts in the perfume community, getting high?
A dead perfume addict: They constantly wear perfume.
Lacey: How many times a day do they spray?
A dead perfume addict: Dozens?
Lacey: And they spray more than once, each time?
A dead perfume addict: Yes.
Lacey: Yikes! Doesn’t that burn your nose?
A dead perfume addict: You’re not a big person. For me…it- I don’t get any up my nose.

A dead perfume addict: Yeah.
I’m a guy.

A dead perfume addict: So…-

Lacey: Well. I can’t get over it.

A dead perfume collector: Okay.
*He thinks*
Lacey: We don’t need to talk about that.
Look…I’m just not happy. Okay?
A dead perfume collector: So…we’re happy.
And…we use perfume.
Lacey: And it seriously doesn’t burn your nose?
A dead perfume collector: Well, okay. Maybe slightly.
Lacey: Do you…-
