A young man riding a New York City bus disembarks and goes inside a building which is the St. Marks Baths.
Nearby, a clerk named Sam, talks with another employee about the large number of customers for this Friday night.
While Miss Parrish and Mavis run around talking degrading things about the other attendees to each other, the awkward conversation between Mr. Jaffee and Thomas continues.
Mr. Jaffee tells Thomas that he came to the baths because he did not want to return home to his wife whom he claims to have been married to for 19 years.
Mr. Jaffee delivers a disturbing monologue about his son who drowned while swimming in an upstate lake which led to the disintegration of his marriage.
Just then, the two couples return to the room with a wrapped package in which Thomas again tells them to leave and asks the whereabouts of Mr. Jaffee.
Joel Thurm, who played the bathhouse attendant, has said that the shots of the transaction with the clerk took place in a candy store a few streets away either on 6th or 8th avenues.
Vapors was released to the general public in New York City in August 1967 at the Cameo Cinema as part of an adults only triple bill, two years after the film was produced.
