- Ship's Doctor: Now then, just dissolve this in an alcoholic drink and take it down.
- Jeff Brooks: You mean to say that this pill is going to help me become a father?
- Ship's Doctor: I have every reason to believe it will.
- Jeff Brooks: Wow! What's in it?
- Ship's Doctor: Well, let us just say it will accomplish a purpose. Immediately afterwards, however, a temporary state of amnesia may occur.
- Jeff Brooks: Oh, amnesia?
- Ship's Doctor: There's nothing to worry about.
- Jeff Brooks: Oh, thank you, Doctor.
- Ship's Doctor: You're very welcome. 'Bye.
- Ship's Doctor: [recording his notes] Patient Jeffrey Brooks, professional writer, travelling on world cruise with his wife, Sandra. Couple married four years. No children. Patient has symptoms of extreme tension and anxiety caused by apparent infertility. Normal in all other respects. Prescribed five grains of salicylic acid, telling patient it would produce great excitement accompanied by complete freedom from anxiety and inhibitions. A simple experiment in the power of suggestion. Patient is, of course, unaware that the dosage is an aspirin tablet. It will be interesting to see what happens.
