Mightn't her sentence be just ironic? Sometime you tell people you 
like "you're crazy" or things like that. (I remember Luciana keeps 
telling Yossarian that he's crazy in Heller's Catch-22, a novel 
Pynchon knows quite well and quoted quite often.) "You ought to be 
locked up" is not far from sentences I've often told dear friends of 
mine.
