I was a doctor, marshal.
Do you think I'm crazy?
-No
And if I say I'm not crazy, well that hardly helps, does it?
That's Kafka's genius of it.
People tell the world you're crazy, then all your protest to the contrary just confirm what they say.
-I'm not following you, I'm sorry.
Once you're declared insane, and anything you do is called part of that insanity.
Reasonable protests are denial, valid fears, paranoia.
-Survival instincts are defense mechanisms.
You're smarter than you look, marshal. That's probably not a good thing.
