Psychiatrist: Okay Mr. Shaughnessy, just relax. This is a simple word association test. I am going to say a word and all you have to do is reply with the first word that comes to mind. Do you have any questions?
Dan Shaughnessy: No.
P: Let's begin. "Up."
DS: Down.
P: "Right."
DS: Left
P: "Hot."
DS: Cold.
P: (mildly irritated) "Good."
DS: (quickly) Bad!
P: "Light."
DS: Dark!
P: "Pretty."
DS: Ugly!
P: "Soft."
DS: Hard.
P: (pause) God.
DS: Nomar...no...Theo...no...Nom-- (starts sobbing uncontrollably)
P: I'm sorry, our time is up.
