Okay, it's a classic Dustin Hoffman film. Hoffman plays a marathon runner
with a brother in the CIA. He falls into the hands of a former Nazi and
dentist, who tortures him by drilling holes in his teeth, all the while
asking, "Is it safe?"

Naturally, Hoffman has no idea what the dentist is talking about, so the
torture continues.

Where does clove oil fit into it? The dentist applies clove oil to Hoffman's
teeth to ease the pain of the torture -- the better to start it back up
again.
