Dr. Bianchi: So how are we this Monday morning, Claes?

Claes: So-so, I suppose. I'm planning on doing a few things today, so I'm a little anxious.

D.B.: Is that so?

C: Yes. Honestly, I don't feel like being here today, so I apologize if I seem a little out of it.

D.B.: Hmm, well I'd like to try something different today, if I may.

C: You're the doc. Go right on ahead.

D.B.: Excellent. Today we're going to try some "Word Association". Do you know what word association is?

C: I've seen it done a few times before, yes.

D.B.: Well then, let's begin. I'll say a word, and you respond with the first word, sentence, or phrase that pops into your head.

C: Ok.

D.B.: Weapon

C: Does not answer for 3 minutes and 20 seconds

D.B.: Uh, Claes, you were supposed to answer.

C: Answer what? You didn't ask anything.

D.B.: Well, we're doing word association right now. I said "Weapon" and you were supposed to say the first thing that came into you mind.

C: Nothing came into my mind, that's why I didn't say anything. I'll try again if you'd like.

D.B.: sighs

C: You're tired.

D.B.: What?

C: Confusion.

D.B.: No.

C: Yes.

D.B.: Claes!

C: Self.

D.B.: Claes, stop!

C: Attack.

D.B.: Enough!

C: Checkmate.

D.B.: This test is over!

C: Victory.
