The other responds, "Never a problem for me" and reveals himself as Tycho Brache as he pops the end of his nose off and sets it on the table and continues to smoke. The first man turns back toward the camera, drops out of character, breaks the 4th wall, and says something like "I never NOSE he could do that..." and gives a goofy facial expression while they cue the laugh track and cut to another scene.
