''In hushed silence we stood in the middle of the dimly lit '''Rose Room'''. All was still, spectral, the four Roses horizontal, at peace, barely dimpling their swaddling sheets. It was all very nice, until the smell hit, and then it was disgusting. The smell was shit. I couldn't stand it. I left. From the corridor I could hear Fats continue to lecture. Out came EMD, gagging. Still Fats talked on. Out came Hyper Hooper, snorting. On and on Fats talked. The three fresh BMSs, holding to the fantasy that if they left the '''Rose Room''' before the Fat Man, their grade would plunge down toward that deadhouse, middle C, stayed. Fats [[Drone|droned]] on. [[Yelp|Yelping]] and retching, handkerchiefs to their mouths, out ran the BMSs. As Fats rattled on to himself and to the [[Gomertose|gomertose]] Roses, the BMSs threw open a window and hung out their heads, and the burly construction workers who were riveting together the Wing of Zock pointed to them and laughed, and the laughter seemed to come from far away. I wished I could have been a robust hardhat, far from the smell of shit. Fats droned on to himself. The next one out, I imsedmused, would be a Rose. Finally, out came our leader, asking, "What's the matter, guys?"''
