jane: my emigdola. the organ deep inside the naval cavity which processes scent, which then connects to memory? i’d like to have it extracted.
dr. klein: but why would you want to voluntarily do that?
jane: well let me see if i can explain this. um, i had this boyfriend, ok? and he smelled really good. like soap...and...fresh laundry...and vanilla...and any time i smell any of those smells i’m reminded of my boyfriend and how happy we were before he dumped me for no good reason, and i get very sad and then i get angry and then before i know it, i am in [yelling now] the THROWS of an all out emotional BREAK DOWN and so i was just [crying now] thinking, doctor klein, if i could just short circuit my nose somehow, i might actually have a chance of living a semi-normal life someday.
