First Interview with Patient 857

First Interview with Patient #857, Carrollton Marlow, “The Clown Killer”.
Dr. Keen:  Do you understand why you are here?
Patient #857:  I'M...not crazy.
Dr. Keen:  You murdered twelve people.
Patient #857:  Not people!...clowns.
Dr. Keen:  Yes...you believe that clowns are not people?
Patient #857: They aren't.
Dr. Keen:  At what point do you believe the clowns stopped being people?
Patient #857:  They never were.
Dr. Keen:  So everyone who puts on some colorful clothes and some face paint, were never...
Patient #857:  NO!  You don't...I don't kill idiots who dress up like clowns for Halloween, or a costume party, or an actor in a horror movie, so some sick sex kink.
Dr. Keen:  So you only killed...professional clowns?
Patient #857:  Real clowns, yes.
Dr. Keen:  Okay.  So you believe anyone who makes a living as a clown, is not a person, and thus should be killed.
Patient #857:  Okay, alright, this is what I'm talking about.  Now, doctor, answer this question for me...have you ever hired a clown.
Dr. Keen:  ...noooo.
Patient #857:  Has anyone you've ever MET ever hired a clown?!
Dr Keen:  No.
Patient #857:  Me either.  Or anyone I've ever met.  No one in their right minds ever hires a clown to do anything, and yet there are still “people” running around claiming to be professional clowns.  There are whole God Damn agencies that keep track of all the individualized characters like some copyright, matching the face to the name.  No one ever hires them, and yet their still around!  Thats how I know that there is something fucked about all of them!  Seriously, what kind of real person looks at themselves in the morning and decides, “Yep I'm gonna go be a clown!”?  Normal people know that clowns aren't funny, they known that no one wants them around, but we still got these THINGS running around doing God knows what!  Thats why we got to stop them!  I don't know for sure what it is their trying to do, but I know it isn't funny!
Dr. Keen:  ...what about circuses?
Patient #857:  Actually Doc...I never thought about them...thats where the real answers about this whole mess must be!
Dr. Keen:  Orderlies, please take Mr. Marlow back to his room.  I believe that will be all for today.
