[[MAN and WOMAN are driving about the town in one of those newfangled “horseless carriages”.]]

WOMAN: Did you know that when you smell something, you’re actually inhaling particulates of that object?
MAN: WHAT? No you’re not.

MAN: Recognizable smells are specific combinations of airborne molecules called odorants. Odorants are chemical vapors which must permeate a mucous membrane to bond with olfactory receptors.
MAN: “Particulates” would neither permeate the membrane nor bond chemically with the receptors.

[[MAN sniffs]]

MAN: You just farted, didn’t you?
WOMAN: It’s pretty much my go-to rhetorical technique.
