Aaron Levinsky: Mrs. Draper, could you tell me your understanding of the legal concept of justifiable force?

Claudia Draper: That's when someone's beating your brains out the back of your head, you're allowed to stop them any way you can.

Aaron Levinsky: Thank you. Now, would you tell us your understanding of the provisions of the 730 process?

Claudia Draper: Yeah. If I lose today, they can commit me for a year. Sixty days before the year is up, the hospital can ask to retain me. If I lose again, I'm gone for another year. And from then on, it's two-thirds of the maximum sentence, which comes out to be 16 or 17 years, and that's without a trial.

Francis MacMillan: Now, Your Honor...

Judge Stanley Murdoch: Mr. MacMillan, you'll have ample time to cross-exam. Let her finish.

[pause]

Judge Stanley Murdoch: Mrs. Draper, what does all that mean to you?

Claudia Draper: Well, it means if they do it right, they can lock me up in a hospital for the criminally insane forever.

Francis MacMillan: What did you live on?

Claudia Draper: [pausing, glancing at Levinsky] Gifts.

Francis MacMillan: [with relish] Gifts. Gifts from whom?

Claudia Draper: Friends.

Francis MacMillan: Men friends?

Claudia Draper: Uh-huh.

Francis MacMillan: And what did these men friends give you? Jewelry?

Claudia Draper: Sometimes.

Francis MacMillan: Furs?

Claudia Draper: [grinning] I got a fox boa once.

Francis MacMillan: Did they give you food?

Claudia Draper: Food? One guy used to bring caviar. Is that what you mean?

Francis MacMillan: Did you exchange your jewels and furs for food at the supermarket?

Claudia Draper: Now isn't that silly?

Francis MacMillan: Well, did you?

Claudia Draper: No.

Francis MacMillan: Well, then how'd you pay for your food? I assume you didn't live on caviar.

Claudia Draper: Hardy.

Francis MacMillan: Or did you use those gifts to pay your rent?

Claudia Draper: [to the judge] Um, excuse me. Is it legal to take cash gifts?

Judge Stanley Murdoch: I beg your pardon?

Claudia Draper: I mean, if I say to you, "Stanley, here's, um, five hundred dollars just because I like you," is that legal?

Judge Stanley Murdoch: Yes, that's legal.

Claudia Draper: Thank you.

[to MacMillan]

Claudia Draper: A lot of the gifts were cash.
