Gauguin flew into a frenzy! He held my head under the X-ray machine for ten straight minutes and for several hours after I could not blink my eyes in unison." - "If The Impressionists Had Been Dentists
In Woody Allen's book "Without Feathers," he humorously illustrates a chaotic encounter with a dentist by referencing his character Gauguin. The exaggerated scenario depicts Gauguin in a fit of rage, causing him to hold the narrator's head under an X-ray machine for an extended period. This absurdity emphasizes the intensity of the moment and hints at the anxiety associated with dental visits.
The quote encapsulates a blend of surrealism and comedy that Allen is known for, portraying a ludicrous situation where the protagonist experiences a brief but overwhelming ordeal. The aftermath of the incident leaves the character unable to blink both eyes together, underscoring the bizarre and memorable nature of the experience.
