In a dialogic aside, Abe Potash and Morris Perlmutter riff on Edison, gas, and chlorine in war rumors and medical disputes. They contrast army versus regular doctors claims about chlorine gas, note war in Africa and Albania, and mock sensational press coverage of scientific findings and gas warfare.

The couple revels in exhilaration while a wary Italian passenger worries about the flight.
