"The news never ends."
"What is this world coming to?"
My mother always tells me to smile and put on a happy face.
Yo, what's up with your shoes, bro?
If you're gonna be a clown, at least you could be a good one.
This guy's weak. He can't do nothing.
How does it feel to have to come here?
I think I felt better when I was locked up in the hospital.
Arthur, you're on seven different medications.
Would you please stop bothering my kid?
What? You think that's funny?
Is it just me, or is it getting crazier out there?
Who do you talk to?
From NCB Studios in Gotham City, it's Live with Murray Franklin!
I was put here to spread joy and laughter.
I'd give it all up in a heartbeat to have a kid like you.
All the crazy shit out there.
The other guys, they don't feel comfortable around you.
People think you're weird.
This building is so awful, isn't it?
"The moon is a silver dollar, shining up in the sky."
Don't you have to be funny to be a comedian?
Hey, Arthur, you're a really good dancer.
Were you following me today?
I'm willing to do anything to pass.
You're so funny, Arthur.
People expect you to behave as if you don't.
"If you're happy and you know it, stomp your feet."
You're a fuck-up, Arthur, and a liar. You're fired!
Hey, you want some French fries?
Send in the clowns.
Stand clear of the closing doors.
Fucking savages.
Look at him running.
Do I look like the kind of clown that could start a movement?
I forgot to punch out.
What kind of coward would do something that cold-blooded?
Someone who is envious of those more fortunate than themselves.
Gotham's lost its way.
All I have are negative thoughts.
When I was a little boy and told people I was gonna be a comedian...
...everyone laughed at me. Well, no one's laughing now.
Three less pricks in Gotham City, only a million more to go.
"Life is still worthwhile, if you just smile."
He's an extraordinary man, Happy. He's a very powerful man.
Everybody is awful these days.
I was just trying to make him smile.
The doctor said she had a stroke.
I'm a party clown.
You can say that again, pal.
"Protesters, many dressed as clowns, took to the streets today."
Comedy is subjective.
Touch my son again, I'll fucking kill you.
I don't know why everyone is so rude.
They don't give a shit about people like you, Arthur.
How does someone wind up in here?
You know, some are just crazy.
I fucked up and did some bad shit.
What?
He's always been such a happy little boy.
You're in the wrong apartment.
I haven't been happy one minute of my entire fucking life.
I used to think that my life was a tragedy...
...but now I realize it's a fucking comedy.
"That's life. That's what all the people say."
"Some people get their kicks, stompin' on a dream."
My mom died. I'm celebrating.
I feel good. I stopped taking my medication.
For my whole life, I didn't know if I even really existed...
...but I do. And people are starting to notice.
Murray, one small thing...
...when you bring me out...
...can you introduce me as Joker?
This is exactly how I imagined it.
I'm just trying to make people laugh.
How about another joke, Murray?
And as you see, Gotham is burning.
Stop laughing, you freak!
Isn't it beautiful?
...but I do. And people are starting to notice.
You wouldn't get it.
