A Few Good Foobs
I think that it's safe to say that it's sort of too bad that Elly never really learned much about how the legal system worked from her one experience in Komedy Kourt that wasn't "judges are dimwitted know-it-alls" or "the legal system is rigged because I can't steamroll over everyone who gets in my way" because it would have helped the adult child she blighted the world with when she herself had to deal with the legal system.
Then again, Lizardbreath's stock response to any comment that suggests that she can't be carried on a damned litter all her life is the Patterson way of saying "Go fuck yourself" : "Thank you for your concern." This reminds us that we're dealing with someone temperamentally unsuited to cope with the demands on her time imposed on her by the courts. She wants to go where she wants to when she wants to and she doesn't like rules that say that it's not proper to talk to people when she wants to talk to them. The same nitwit who fears leases because she mistakes a legal document that is there to safeguard her against being arbitrarily turfed out on her arse because of language that tells her what she cannot do is going to detest being told where to stand, what to say, when to say it and whom to not say it to. This makes her the child of a man who hates the system because he'd rather railroad a million innocent men than have to question his preconceptions.
