The Sentence

In the Courtroom
Katherine was able to get her out of everything, but the lawsuit. She now only has to take responsibility for that one, malicious wire hanger.

Lawyer for Cyclops: "My client suffered tremendously at the hands of this woman, your honor. Not only did he lose his right eye in a violent way, (For those of you who don't know, the defendent hurled a wire hanger in his direction, along with other blunt objects that missed his face by the Grace of God.) but the doctor replaced the missing ball with one of the wrong color. He now has one green, one brown, a most unfashionable defect causing the most pain and suffering possible.

Judge Vere: And what pain and suffering is that, I mean, aside from the obvious physical pain of losing one's eyeball?

LC: Well sir, the plaintiff here is now a legitimate lost member of society. He no longer can date - women do not find him attractive anymore. Therefore, he has lost his ability to seek balance as well as the future comfort of domestic stability and offspring.

Katherine (noticeably disgusted and snorting a bit): Are you kidding me right now? Loss of damages to include a diminished level of attractiveness? Do you have proof? Can you justify this claim that he can no longer date?

Cyclops (speaking out of turn): Women will not even give me a chance! They're vipers I tell you - always judging on looks alone!

Katherine (smoothly): I maintain your client would be able to increase his odds, for one, by narrowing his search for a mate to a school for the blind. And frankly, there are many such schools therefore increasing his chances for survival.

Judge Vere: Hmmmm.

Cyclops (again out of turn as he has no manners or sense of the occasion): But your honor, I would never, ever date a blind woman!

Judge Vere: Then sir, I believe it is you who is evidently selective and not women. Overruled.

(To Katherine and her client): However, this does not dismiss your client of the medical bills. She must be held responsible for this portion of his pain and suffering. Would you agree?

Both: We do.

Judge Vere: Then I hereby sentence this young woman to pay for the Cyclops' medical bills (including the recoloring of the one ball of his choosing) and 24 hours of community service served at Saint Nicholas' Hospital for the Criminally Insane so that she realizes the gravity her antics carry.

(strikes gavel for effect - He really likes to use his gavel.)

Case Closed.
