Capt. Barney Miller : To each his own. That's the name of that test.
Dr. Esterhazy : Captain Miller, may I see you a moment, please?
Det. Sgt. Nick Yemana : Watch it. He's tricky.
Dr. Esterhazy : Sit down, Captain Miller. I assume you're familiar with this test. It's really very simple.
Capt. Barney Miller : Uh, I don't mind taking, uh, part in your survey, doctor, but we do have a lot of work to do around here.
Dr. Esterhazy : It won't take very long and I appreciate your cooperation. Now, these cards will suggest certain images to you. Just feel free to loosely associate your impressions. Card Number 1, please.
Capt. Barney Miller : Have you come to any conclusions yet, doctor? I mean, about the men?
Dr. Esterhazy : Yes I have, to some degree.
Capt. Barney Miller : And they are?
Dr. Esterhazy : I don't think I can discuss them now.
Capt. Barney Miller : I'm gonna see that report sooner or later
Dr. Esterhazy : Card Number 1, please.
Capt. Barney Miller : Uh, it's my understanding that the conclusions from this test varies from doctor to doctor.
Dr. Esterhazy : Somewhat, yes. Uh, Card Number 1.
Capt. Barney Miller : Look, doctor, I have a very vivid imagination. I can see a hundred images in any one of these cards, ranging from the horrifying to the idyllic, from the ridiculous to the sublime because that's the way I look at life, particularly in the mood I'm in right now.
