A scientist states his perspective about "life being a series of sudden stains." As he walks through the machine, he encounters the sudden stains in daily life, such as mustard, coffee, mud and wine. Contrary to his philosophical way of talking, his lab coat is full of stains by the time he finished walking through. But still, he has a very confident look on his face because he can wash away all the stains with Ariel alone, even without bleach. He puts on his fully cleaned lab coat and starts talking again.
