448. Stand clear of
the closing doors.Copy !req
449. Shit. Shit.Copy !req
450. I read it was
a guy in full makeup.Copy !req
451. No, it says right here
it was a mask.Copy !req
452. Either way, I think
it's good for business.Copy !req
453. They got clowns on the front
of every newspaper.Copy !req
454. Big man, what's the good word?Copy !req
455. Hey.Copy !req
456. Hey, Arthur,
I heard what happened.Copy !req
457. Sorry, mate.Copy !req
458. Yeah.Copy !req
459. It doesn't seem fair,Copy !req
460. getting fired like that.Copy !req
461. Did you really bring a gunCopy !req
462. to the children's hospital,
Artie?Copy !req
463. What the fuck
would you do that for?Copy !req
464. Is that part of
your new act, Arthur?Copy !req
465. If your dancing
doesn't do the trick,Copy !req
466. you're just gonna
shoot yourself?Copy !req
467. Why don't you
ask Randall about it?Copy !req
468. It was his gun.Copy !req
469. - What?
- I still owe you for that,Copy !req
470. don't I?Copy !req
471. What the fuck
are you talking about?Copy !req
472. Stop talking
out of your ass, Art.Copy !req
473. Oh, no!Copy !req
474. I forgot to punch out.Copy !req
475. And turns to sorrowCopy !req
476. King of all
Hear me callCopy !req
477. Hear my name
CarnivalCopy !req
478. And as our city
tries to make senseCopy !req
479. of the brutal triple murder
on the subway last week,Copy !req
480. we're joined by Thomas Wayne.Copy !req
481. Happy, look,
Thomas Wayne's on TV.Copy !req
482. Yes, Mother.Copy !req
483. Thanks for
having me on, Chuck.Copy !req
484. They're asking him aboutCopy !req
485. those horrible subway murders.Copy !req
486. Thank you, Thomas.
I knowCopy !req
487. this is a difficult time
for you.Copy !req
488. Why him?Copy !req
489. Looks like he's gained weight.Copy !req
490. Yes, all three worked
for Wayne Investments.Copy !req
491. Good, decent, educated.Copy !req
492. Although I didn't know
any of them personally.Copy !req
493. Like all Wayne employees,Copy !req
494. past and present,
they're family.Copy !req
495. Did you hear that?
I told you, we're family.Copy !req
496. There now seems to beCopy !req
497. a groundswell of anti-rich
sentiment in the city.Copy !req
498. It's almost as if
our less fortunate residentsCopy !req
499. are taking the side
of the killer.Copy !req
500. Yes, and it's a shame.Copy !req
501. It's one of the reasons whyCopy !req
502. I'm considering
a run for mayor.Copy !req
503. Gotham's lost its way.Copy !req
504. What about
the eyewitness reportCopy !req
505. of the suspect being
a man in a clown mask?Copy !req
506. Well,
it makes total sense to me.Copy !req
507. What kind of coward would do
something that cold-blooded?Copy !req
508. Someone who hides
behind a mask.Copy !req
509. Someone who is enviousCopy !req
510. of those more fortunate
than themselves,Copy !req
511. yet they're too scared
to show their own face.Copy !req
512. And until those kind of people
change for the better,Copy !req
513. those of us who have
made something of our livesCopy !req
514. will always look
at those who haven'tCopy !req
515. as nothing but clowns.Copy !req
516. Thomas Wayne, thank you
for coming in this morning.Copy !req
517. It's not funny.Copy !req
518. I heard this song on the radio
the other day,Copy !req
519. and the guy was singing
that his name was Carnival.Copy !req
520. Arthur...Copy !req
521. Which is crazy,Copy !req
522. because that's
my clown name at work.Copy !req
523. And until a little while ago,Copy !req
524. it was like
nobody ever saw me.Copy !req
525. Even I didn't know
if I really existed.Copy !req
526. Arthur, I have
some bad news for you.Copy !req
527. You don't listen, do you?Copy !req
528. I don't think
you ever really hear me.Copy !req
529. You just ask
the same questions every week.Copy !req
530. "How's your job? Are you
having any negative thoughts?"Copy !req
531. All I have are
negative thoughts,Copy !req
532. but you don't listen anyway.Copy !req
533. I said, for my whole life,Copy !req
534. I didn't know
if I even really existed.Copy !req
535. But I do.Copy !req
536. And people are
starting to notice.Copy !req
537. They've cut our funding.Copy !req
538. We're closing down
our offices next week.Copy !req
539. The city has cut funding
across the board.Copy !req
540. Social Services is
part of that.Copy !req
541. This is the last time
we'll be meeting.Copy !req
542. Okay.Copy !req
543. They don't give a shit
about people like you, Arthur.Copy !req
544. And they really
don't give a shitCopy !req
545. about people like me, either.Copy !req
546. Fuck.Copy !req
547. How am I supposed to
get my medication now?Copy !req
548. Who do I talk to?Copy !req
549. I'm sorry, Arthur.Copy !req
550. I think... I think most women
look at sex like buying a car.Copy !req
551. You know, like, "Can I see
myself in this long-term?"Copy !req
552. "Is it safe?"Copy !req
553. "Is it reliable?"Copy !req
554. "Could it kill me?"Copy !req
555. Most guys, we look at sex
like parking a car.Copy !req
556. We're like, "There's a spot."Copy !req
557. "There's another spot.Copy !req
558. "That would work."Copy !req
559. "Oh, I have to pay?
Never mind."Copy !req
560. "Handicapped?
I hope no one sees this."Copy !req
561. All right, that's my time.
Thank you very much, guys.Copy !req
562. One more time
for Sam Morril, y'all.Copy !req
563. All right, now,
this next comic describesCopy !req
564. himself as
a lifelong Gotham residentCopy !req
565. who from a young age
was always toldCopy !req
566. that his purpose in lifeCopy !req
567. was to bring laughter and joy
into this cold, dark world.Copy !req
568. Um... Okay.Copy !req
569. Please help me welcome
Arthur Fleck, y'all.Copy !req
570. Arthur Fleck.Copy !req
571. Hello, it's good to be here.Copy !req
572. I hated school
when I was a kid.Copy !req
573. I hated school as a kid.Copy !req
574. My mother would say,Copy !req
575. "You should enjoy it.Copy !req
576. One day, you'll have to
work for a living."Copy !req
577. "No, I won't, Ma,Copy !req
578. I'm gonna be a comedian."Copy !req
579. Um...Copy !req
580. Here's one.Copy !req
581. You know, I was
just thinking the other day,Copy !req
582. why are the rich people...Copy !req
583. Smile though your heart is achingCopy !req
584. Smile even though it's breakingCopy !req
585. When there are clouds in the sky
You'll get byCopy !req
586. If you smile
Through your fear and sorrowCopy !req
587. Smile and maybe tomorrowCopy !req
588. You'll see the sun
Come shining through for youCopy !req
589. You believe that shit?Copy !req
590. Fuck 'em.Copy !req
591. I think the guy
that did it is a hero.Copy !req
592. Three less pricks
in Gotham City,Copy !req
593. only a million more to go.Copy !req
594. You'll get byCopy !req
595. That's the time you must keep on tryingCopy !req
596. Smile, what's the use of cryingCopy !req
597. You'll find that
Life is still worthwhileCopy !req
598. If you just smileCopy !req
599. And, buddy, as always,Copy !req
600. thanks for the laughs.Copy !req
601. I'm sure we'll see you again.Copy !req
602. You know we'll be here, right?Copy !req
603. I hope.Copy !req
604. Tomorrow night, we have

I just had a big date.Copy !req
618. Oh.Copy !req
619. Just don't forget to mail it.Copy !req
620. The Murray Franklin

621. before a studio audienceCopy !req
622. in beautiful downtown
Gotham City.Copy !req
623. You're gonna kill me. You're
gonna give me a heart attack!Copy !req
624. Don't give me your...Copy !req
625. No. No.Copy !req

631. Please.Copy !req
632. Mom, is this real?Copy !req
633. He's an extraordinary man,
Happy.Copy !req
634. He's a very powerful man.Copy !req
635. We were in love.Copy !req
636. He said it was best that
we not be togetherCopy !req
637. because of appearances.Copy !req
638. And I could never
tell anyone because...Copy !req
639. Well, I signed some papers.Copy !req
640. And besides, you can imagineCopy !req
641. what people would say
about Thomas and me.Copy !req
642. What they'd say about you.Copy !req
643. What would they say, Mom?Copy !req
644. Hmm.Copy !req
645. Hmm.Copy !req
646. Hi.Copy !req
647. What's your name?Copy !req

654. It's okay. I'm a good guy.Copy !req
655. What are you doing?
Who are you?Copy !req
656. I'm here to see Mr. Wayne.Copy !req
657. Well, you shouldn't be
speaking to his son.Copy !req
658. Why did you give him
these flowers?Copy !req
659. No, they're not real.Copy !req
660. It's magic.Copy !req
661. I was just trying to
make him smile.Copy !req
662. Well, it's not funny, is it?Copy !req
663. Do I need to call the police?Copy !req
664. No. Please.Copy !req
665. My mother's name is Penny.
Penny Fleck.Copy !req
666. She used to work here
years ago.Copy !req
667. Can you please tell Mr. Wayne
I need to see him?Copy !req
668. You are her son.Copy !req
669. Yeah.Copy !req
670. Did you know her?Copy !req
671. I know about the two of them.Copy !req
672. She told me everything.Copy !req
673. There's nothing to know.Copy !req
674. There is no "them."Copy !req
675. Your mother was delusional.Copy !req
676. She was a sick woman.Copy !req
677. Don't say that.Copy !req
678. Just go.Copy !req
679. Mmm?Copy !req
680. Before you
make a fool of yourself.Copy !req
681. Thomas Wayne is my father.Copy !req
682. He left me.Copy !req
683. Let go! Let go!Copy !req
684. Keep the respirations
above 15.Copy !req
685. Slow and steady.
We got some stairs coming up.Copy !req
686. Mom?Copy !req
687. What happened?Copy !req
688. - Who are you?
- I'm her son.Copy !req
689. - What happened?
- You can probably help us out inside.Copy !req
690. We don't know
what happened yet.Copy !req
691. - Hop in the back of the ambulance.
- Step.Copy !req
692. One more.
We got one more lift.Copy !req
693. I'm gettingCopy !req
694. a little resistance here,
Michael.Copy !req
695. Lift.Copy !req
696. I'm right here.Copy !req
697. Excuse me, sir.Copy !req
698. Does your mother take
any medications?Copy !req
699. - No.
- Excuse me,Copy !req
700. - I couldn't hear you.
- No.Copy !req
701. Sir, when was the last time
you spoke to her?Copy !req
702. I don't know.Copy !req
703. Mr. Fleck.Copy !req
704. Sorry to bother you.
I'm Detective Garrity.Copy !req
705. This is my partner,
Detective Burke.Copy !req
706. We had a few questions for
you, but you weren't home,Copy !req
707. so we spoke with your mother.Copy !req
708. Oh.Copy !req
709. What did you say to her?Copy !req
710. Did you do this?Copy !req
711. What? No.Copy !req
712. No, no, no. We just
asked her some questions,Copy !req
713. and she got hysterical.Copy !req
714. Hyperventilating,Copy !req
715. collapsed and
hit her head pretty hard.Copy !req
716. Yeah. The doctor said
she had a stroke.Copy !req
717. We're sorry to
hear about that.Copy !req
718. But, like I said, I still have
some questions for you.Copy !req
719. They're about
the subway killingsCopy !req
720. that happened last week.Copy !req
721. You've heard about them,
right?Copy !req
722. Yeah.Copy !req
723. It's horrible.Copy !req
724. Right.Copy !req
725. So, we spoke with your boss
over at Haha's.Copy !req
726. He said you were fired
for bringing a gunCopy !req
727. into the children's hospital.Copy !req
728. - Is that true, Mr. Fleck?
- It was a prop.Copy !req
729. It's part of my act.Copy !req
730. I'm a party clown.Copy !req
731. All right.
So, why were you fired?Copy !req
732. They said
I wasn't funny enough.Copy !req
733. Can you imagine that?Copy !req
734. If you don't mind, I have to
go take care of my mother.Copy !req
735. Your boss also
gave us one of your cards.Copy !req
736. This condition of yours,
the laughing,Copy !req
737. is it real,Copy !req
738. or some sort of clown thing?Copy !req
739. - A clown thing?
- Yeah.Copy !req
740. I mean,
is it part of your act?Copy !req
741. What do you think?Copy !req
742. It's exit only.Copy !req
743. She's gonna be okay.Copy !req
744. I'm gonna get a coffee.Copy !req
745. You want one?Copy !req
746. Yeah.Copy !req
747. So, the other night,
I told my youngest son Billy,Copy !req
748. you know, the new one,
the not-so-bright one.Copy !req
749. I told him,
"The garbage strikeCopy !req
750. is still going on, Billy."Copy !req
751. And he says, and I'm
not kidding, Billy says,Copy !req
752. "So, where are we gonna get
all our garbage from?"Copy !req
753. And finally,
in a world where everyoneCopy !req
754. thinks they could do my job,Copy !req
755. we got this video tape
from Pogo's Comedy Club,Copy !req
756. right here in Gotham.Copy !req
757. Here's a guy who thinks
if you just keep laughing,Copy !req
758. it'll somehow make you funny.Copy !req
759. Check out this joker.Copy !req
760. Oh, my God.Copy !req
761. I hated school as a kid.Copy !req
762. But my mother
would always say,Copy !req
763. "You should enjoy it.Copy !req
764. One day, you'll have to
work for a living."Copy !req
765. "No, I won't, Ma.Copy !req
766. I'm gonna be a comedian."Copy !req
767. You shoulda listened
to your mother.Copy !req
768. Hey, one more.
One more, Bobby.Copy !req
769. All right, let's see one more.
I love this guy.Copy !req
770. It's funny,Copy !req
771. when I was a little boyCopy !req
772. and told people
I was gonna be a comedian,Copy !req
773. everyone laughed at me.Copy !req
774. Well, no one's laughing now.Copy !req
775. You can say that again, pal.Copy !req
776. All right, we got a great show
for you tonight.Copy !req
777. Chuck Conby is here,
actress Joanne Mulligan,Copy !req
778. and new music from
Mel Rubin and the Stiffs.Copy !req
779. As tensions mount
around the metro area,Copy !req
780. Mayor Stokes has pleaded
for cooler heads to prevail.Copy !req
781. City services
have been affected,Copy !req
782. and some businesses
have decidedCopy !req
783. to remain closed
amid the unrest.Copy !req
784. Chuck Stevens
filed this report.Copy !req
785. The anger and resentmentCopy !req
786. that's been building
in the city for weeksCopy !req
787. seems close to exploding.Copy !req
788. Protesters,
many dressed as clowns,Copy !req
789. took to the streets todayCopy !req
790. in one of
several planned demonstrationsCopy !req
791. taking on the city's elite,Copy !req
792. including a massive rally
outsideCopy !req
793. tomorrow night's
benefit at Wayne Hall.Copy !req
794. What's the point of all this?Copy !req
795. - the rich.
- Thomas Wayne.Copy !req
796. That's what this whole
thing is about.Copy !req
797. the whole system.Copy !req
798. Wayne,
who recently announcedCopy !req
799. he is running for mayor,Copy !req
800. will be attending the benefit.Copy !req
801. You might remember
it was Thomas WayneCopy !req
802. who first referred toCopy !req
803. many of Gotham's residents
as "clowns."Copy !req
804. Today, he offered little in
the way of an apology.Copy !req
805. Well, what I will say is,Copy !req
806. there's something wrong
with those people.Copy !req
807. I am here to help them.Copy !req
808. I'm gonna
lift them out of poverty,Copy !req
809. help make their lives better.Copy !req
810. That is why I'm running.Copy !req
811. And they may not realize it,
but I'm their only hope.Copy !req
812. Down with Wayne!
Down with Wayne!Copy !req
813. Down with Wayne!
Down with Wayne!Copy !req
814. Can I help you, pal?Copy !req
815. I don't know what to say.Copy !req
816. Do you want an autograph
or something?Copy !req
817. No.Copy !req
818. My name is Arthur.Copy !req
819. Penny Fleck is my mother.Copy !req
820. Jesus.Copy !req
821. You're the guy that came to
my house yesterday.Copy !req
822. Yes.Copy !req
823. I'm sorry I just showed up.Copy !req
824. But my mother
told me everything,Copy !req
825. and I had to talk to you.Copy !req
826. Look, pal,
I'm not your father.Copy !req
827. What's wrong with you?Copy !req
828. Look at us.Copy !req
829. I think you are.Copy !req
830. Well, that's impossibleCopy !req
831. because you're adopted,Copy !req
832. and I never slept with
your mother.Copy !req
833. - I wasn't adopted.
- What do you want from me?Copy !req
834. - Money?
- No, I don't...Copy !req
835. I wasn't adopted.Copy !req
836. Jesus. She never told you?Copy !req
837. Told me what?Copy !req
838. Your mother adopted you
while she was working for us.Copy !req
839. That's not true.Copy !req
840. Why are you saying that?Copy !req
841. Then she was arrested
and committedCopy !req
842. to Arkham State Hospital,Copy !req
843. when you were
just a little boy.Copy !req
844. Why are you saying this?Copy !req
845. I don't need you to
tell me lies.Copy !req
846. I know it seems strange.Copy !req
847. I don't mean to
make you uncomfortable.Copy !req
848. I don't know
why everyone is so rude.Copy !req
849. I don't know why you are.Copy !req
850. I don't want
anything from you.Copy !req
851. Maybe a little bit of warmth,
maybe a hug, Dad!Copy !req
852. How about just a little bit
of fucking decency?Copy !req
853. What is it with you people?Copy !req
854. You say that stuff
about my mother.Copy !req
855. She's crazy.Copy !req
856. She's...Copy !req
857. You think this is funny?Copy !req
858. Dad, it's me. Come on.Copy !req
859. Touch my son again,Copy !req
860. I'll fucking kill you.Copy !req
861. Hello, Mr. Fleck.
This is Detective Garrity.Copy !req
862. We met the other night
at Gotham General.Copy !req
863. My partner and I had a few
more questions for you.Copy !req
864. We stopped by your apartment
today, but you weren't home.Copy !req
865. Please give me a call
when you get this message.Copy !req
866. Again, Detective Garrity,Copy !req
867. and my number is 212... 99.Copy !req
868. This message is
for Arthur Fleck.Copy !req
869. My name is Shirley Woods.Copy !req
870. I work on
The Murray Franklin Show.Copy !req
871. I don't know if you're aware,Copy !req
872. but Murray played
a clip of your stand-upCopy !req
873. on the show recently,Copy !req
874. and we have gotten an amazing
response from our viewers.Copy !req
875. Murray asked me to give you
a call and see if you're...Copy !req
876. Who is this?Copy !req
877. Oh, hi, this is Shirley Woods.Copy !req
878. I'm the show booker from
Live with Murray Franklin.Copy !req
879. Is this Arthur?Copy !req
880. Yes.Copy !req
881. Hi, Arthur.
Well, as I was saying,Copy !req
882. we've gotten a lot of calls
about your clip.Copy !req

1065. talking to all the guys
about those subway murders.Copy !req
1066. - And, um...
- They didn't talk to me.Copy !req
1067. That's because the suspect

1068. If it was a fucking midget,
you'd be in jail right now.Copy !req

1146. Courtney,
what's the scene there?Copy !req
1147. Murray.Copy !req
1148. Hey, hey, hey.
It's Mr. Franklin, buddy.Copy !req
1149. Oh, come on, Gene.
That's all bullshit.Copy !req
1150. Thank you, Murray.Copy !req
1151. I feel like I know you.Copy !req
1152. I've been
watching you forever.Copy !req
1153. Thank you.Copy !req
1154. What's with the face?Copy !req
1155. I mean,
are you part of the protest?Copy !req
1156. No.Copy !req
1157. No, I don't believe
in any of that.Copy !req
1158. I don't believe in anything.Copy !req
1159. I just thought
it'd be good for my act.Copy !req
1160. For your act? Didn't you hearCopy !req
1161. what happened on the subway?
Some clown got killed.Copy !req
1162. He's aware of that.
He's aware of that. Yeah.Copy !req
1163. No, I hadn't heard.Copy !req
1164. - Yeah.
- You see?Copy !req
1165. This is what I'm telling you.
The audience is gonna go crazyCopy !req
1166. if you put this guy on.Copy !req
1167. Maybe for a bit,
but not a whole segment.Copy !req
1168. Gene, it's gonna work.
It's gonna work.Copy !req
1169. We're gonna go with it.Copy !req
1170. Thank you, Murray.Copy !req
1171. Couple rules, though.Copy !req
1172. No cursing.
No off-color material.Copy !req
1173. We do a clean show.Copy !req
1174. - Okay?
- Mmm-hmm.Copy !req
1175. You'll go on
right after Dr. Sally.Copy !req
1176. I love Dr. Sally.Copy !req
1177. Good, good. Someone willCopy !req
1178. - come and get you, okay?
- Okay. Perfect.Copy !req
1179. Good luck.Copy !req
1180. - Thanks, Murray.
- Okay.Copy !req
1181. - Murray, one small thing.
- Yeah.Copy !req
1182. When you bring me out,Copy !req
1183. can you introduce me as Joker?Copy !req
1184. What's wrong
with your real name?Copy !req
1185. That's what you called me
on the show.Copy !req
1186. A joker.Copy !req
1187. Do you remember?Copy !req
1188. - Did I?
- I don't know.Copy !req
1189. Well, if you say so, kid,
you know, Joker it is.Copy !req
1190. It's good.Copy !req
1191. Thanks, Murray.Copy !req
1192. I'll try it, you know,Copy !req
1193. but I'm not sure
my wife will let me do it.Copy !req
1194. Maybe my next wife.Copy !req
1195. You gotta see
our next guest for yourself.Copy !req
1196. I'm pretty sure
this guy could use a doctor.Copy !req
1197. Oh!Copy !req
1198. Does he have sexual problems?Copy !req
1199. Oh, he looks like
he's got a lot of problems.Copy !req
1200. All right, Bobby, let's show
that clip one last time.Copy !req
1201. I hated school as a kid.Copy !req
1202. But my mother
would always say,Copy !req
1203. "You should enjoy it.Copy !req
1204. One day, you'll have to
work for a living."Copy !req
1205. "No, I won't, Ma.Copy !req
1206. I'm gonna be a comedian."Copy !req
1207. Okay. You may...Copy !req
1208. You may have seen that clip
of our next guest.Copy !req
1209. Now, before he comes out,
I just want to sayCopy !req
1210. that we're all heartbrokenCopy !req
1211. about what's going on
in the city tonight.Copy !req
1212. But this is
how he wanted to come out,Copy !req
1213. and honestly, I think
we could all use a good laugh.Copy !req
1214. So, please welcome, Joker.Copy !req
1215. Are you all right, Doctor?Copy !req
1216. Well,
that was quite an entrance.Copy !req
1217. You okay?Copy !req
1218. Yeah.Copy !req
1219. This is exactly
how I imagined it.Copy !req
1220. Well, that makes one of us.Copy !req
1221. So, can you tell us
about this look?Copy !req
1222. When we spoke earlier,Copy !req
1223. you mentioned that this look
is not a political statement.Copy !req
1224. Is that right?Copy !req
1225. That's right, Murray.
I'm not political.Copy !req
1226. I'm just trying to
make people laugh.Copy !req
1227. And how's that going for you?Copy !req
1228. So, I know you're a comedian.Copy !req
1229. You been working on
any new material?Copy !req
1230. You wanna tell us a joke?Copy !req
1231. Yeah?Copy !req
1232. Okay.Copy !req
1233. He's got a book.Copy !req
1234. A book of jokes.Copy !req
1235. Take your time.
We got all night.Copy !req
1236. Okay, okay. Here's one.Copy !req
1237. Knock, knock.Copy !req
1238. And you had to look that up?Copy !req
1239. I want to get it right.Copy !req
1240. Knock, knock.Copy !req
1241. Who's there?Copy !req
1242. It's the police, ma'am.Copy !req
1243. Your son's been hit
by a drunk driver.Copy !req
1244. He's dead.Copy !req
1245. Oh, no, no, no.Copy !req
1246. No, you cannot
joke about that.Copy !req
1247. Yeah, that's not funny,
Arthur.Copy !req
1248. That's not the kind of humor
we do on this show.Copy !req
1249. Okay. I'm... Yeah, I'm sorry.Copy !req
1250. It's just, you know, it's been
a rough few weeks, Murray.Copy !req
1251. Ever sinceCopy !req
1252. I killed
those three Wall Street guys.Copy !req
1253. Okay, I'm waiting
for the punchline.Copy !req
1254. There is no punchline.Copy !req
1255. It's not a joke.Copy !req
1256. You're serious, aren't you?Copy !req
1257. You're telling us you killedCopy !req
1258. those three young men
on the subway?Copy !req
1259. Mmm-hmm.Copy !req
1260. And why should we believe you?Copy !req
1261. I got nothing left to lose.Copy !req
1262. Nothing can hurt me anymore.Copy !req
1263. My life is
nothing but a comedy.Copy !req
1264. Well,
let me get this straight,Copy !req
1265. you think that killing
those guys is funny?Copy !req
1266. I do.Copy !req
1267. And I'm tired
of pretending it's not.Copy !req
1268. Comedy is subjective, Murray.Copy !req
1269. Isn't that what they say?Copy !req
1270. All of you,Copy !req
1271. the system that knows so much,Copy !req
1272. you decide
what's right or wrong.Copy !req
1273. The same way that you decide
what's funny or not!Copy !req
1274. Get him off!Copy !req
1275. Well, okay,
I think I might understandCopy !req
1276. that you did this to
start a movement,Copy !req
1277. to become a symbol?Copy !req
1278. Come on, Murray.Copy !req
1279. Do I look like
the kind of clownCopy !req
1280. that could start a movement?Copy !req
1281. I killed those guys
because they were awful.Copy !req
1282. Everybody is awful these days.Copy !req
1283. It's enough to
make anyone crazy.Copy !req
1284. Okay. So, that's it,
you're crazy.Copy !req
1285. That's your defense
for killing three young men?Copy !req
1286. No.Copy !req
1287. They couldn't carry a tune
to save their lives.Copy !req
1288. Oh, why is everybody
so upset about these guys?Copy !req
1289. If it was me
dying on the sidewalk,Copy !req
1290. you'd walk right over me!Copy !req
1291. I pass you every day,
and you don't notice me.Copy !req
1292. But these guys, what,
because Thomas WayneCopy !req
1293. went and cried about them
on TV?Copy !req
1294. You have a problem
with Thomas Wayne, too?Copy !req
1295. Yes, I do.Copy !req
1296. Have you seen what it's like
out there, Murray?Copy !req
1297. Do you ever actually
leave the studio?Copy !req
1298. Everybody just yells
and screams at each other.Copy !req
1299. Nobody's civil anymore.Copy !req
1300. Nobody thinks what it's like
to be the other guy.Copy !req
1301. You think men like
Thomas Wayne ever thinkCopy !req
1302. what it's like to be
someone like me?Copy !req
1303. To be somebody but themselves?
They don't.Copy !req
1304. They think that
we'll just sit thereCopy !req
1305. and take it,
like good little boys!Copy !req
1306. That we won't werewolf
and go wild!Copy !req
1307. You finished?Copy !req
1308. I mean, it's so much
self-pity, Arthur.Copy !req
1309. You sound like
you're making excusesCopy !req
1310. for killing those young men.Copy !req
1311. Not everybody,
