The interview with a soldier they tested their faux pot on follows.

Q: How are you?

A: Pretty good, I guess. …

Q: You’ve got a big grin on your face.

A: Yeah. I don’t know what I’m grinning about, either.

Q: Do things seem funny, or is that just something you can’t help?

A: I don’t — I don’t know. I just — I just feel like laughing. …

Q: Does the time seem to pass slower or faster or any different than usual?

A: No different than usual. Just — just that I mostly lose track of it. I don’t know if it’s early or late.

Q: Do you find yourself doing any daydreaming?

A: Yeah. I’m daydreaming all kinds of things. …

Q: Suppose you have to get up and go to work now. How would you do?

A: I don’t think I’d even care.

Q: Well, suppose the place were on fire?

A: It would seem funny.
