A scene from The Sixth Sense 1999
Malcolm Crowe

Do you know what free association writing is, Cole?

Cole Sear

No.

Malcolm Crowe

Free association writing is when you take a pencil in your hand and you put the pencil to a piece of paper and you start writing. You don't look at or think about what you're writing. And after a while, you keep writing long enough, words and thoughts come out that you didn't even know you had in you. It could be something you heard, something you saw, or feelings you had deep inside of you. Have you done any free association writing, Cole?

Cole Sear

Yes.

Malcolm Crowe

What did you write?

Cole Sear

Upset words.

Malcolm Crowe

Did you write any upset words before your father left?

Cole Sear

I don't remember.
