258. He's going
out of business,
for God's sake, Arthur.Copy !req
259. Why would
I keep his sign?Copy !req

he's gonna do?Copy !req
286. He's gonna help us.Copy !req
287. But you worked for him,
what, 30 years ago?Copy !req

how we were living,Copy !req
291. if he saw this place,
it would
make him sick.Copy !req
292. I can't explain

Professor Lewis."Copy !req
329. I can't use
my real last name
at this collegeCopy !req
330. 'cause they
don't hire Jews.Copy !req
331. It's something I'll addressCopy !req
332. once I have tenure,
but for now...Copy !req
333. She says,
"Excuse me,
Professor Lewis,Copy !req
334. I think I might be

tries to make senseCopy !req
425. of the brutal
triple murder
on the subway last week,Copy !req
426. we're joined
by Thomas Wayne.Copy !req
427. Happy, look,
Thomas Wayne's on TV.Copy !req
428. Yes, Mother.Copy !req
429. Thanks for
having me on, Chuck.Copy !req
430. They're asking
him aboutCopy !req
431. those horrible
subway murders.Copy !req
432. Thank you, Thomas.
I knowCopy !req
433. this is a difficult time
for you.Copy !req
434. Why him?Copy !req
435. Looks like
he's gained weight.Copy !req
436. Yes,
all three worked
for Wayne Investments.Copy !req
437. Good, decent, educated.Copy !req
438. Although I didn't know
any of them personally.Copy !req
439. Like all Wayne employees,Copy !req
440. past and present,
they're family.Copy !req
441. Did you hear that?
I told you,
we're family.Copy !req
442. - There now
seems to beCopy !req
443. a groundswell
of anti-rich sentiment
in the city.Copy !req
444. It's almost
as if our
less fortunate residentsCopy !req
445. are taking the side
of the killer.Copy !req
446. Yes,
and it's a shame.Copy !req
447. It's one
of the reasons whyCopy !req
448. I'm considering
a run for mayor.Copy !req
449. Gotham's lost its way.Copy !req
450. What about
the eyewitness reportCopy !req
451. of the suspect
being a man
in a clown mask?Copy !req
452. Well,
it makes
total sense to me.Copy !req
453. What kind of coward
would do something
that cold-blooded?Copy !req
454. Someone who hides
behind a mask.Copy !req
455. Someone who is enviousCopy !req
456. of those more fortunate
than themselves,Copy !req
457. yet they're too scared
to show their own face.Copy !req
458. And until those
kind of people
change for the better,Copy !req
459. those of us
who have made
something of our livesCopy !req
460. will always look
at those who haven'tCopy !req
461. as nothing but clowns.Copy !req
462. Thomas Wayne,
thank you for
coming in this morning.Copy !req
463. It's not funny.Copy !req
464. I heard this song
on the radio
the other day,Copy !req
465. and the guy was singing
that his name
was Carnival.Copy !req
466. Arthur...Copy !req
467. Which is crazy,Copy !req
468. because that's
my clown name at work.Copy !req
469. And until
a little while ago,Copy !req
470. it was like
nobody ever saw me.Copy !req
471. Even I didn't know
if I really existed.Copy !req
472. Arthur, I have
some bad news for you.Copy !req
473. You don't listen,
do you?Copy !req
474. I don't think
you ever
really hear me.Copy !req
475. You just ask
the same questions
every week.Copy !req
476. "How's your job?
Are you having
any negative thoughts?"Copy !req
477. All I have are
negative thoughts,Copy !req
478. but you don't
listen anyway.Copy !req
479. I said,
for my whole life,Copy !req
480. I didn't know
if I even really existed.Copy !req
481. But I do.Copy !req
482. And people are
starting to notice.Copy !req
483. They've cut our funding.Copy !req
484. We're closing down
our offices next week.Copy !req
485. The city has
cut funding
across the board.Copy !req
486. Social Services is
part of that.Copy !req
487. This is the last time
we'll be meeting.Copy !req
488. Okay.Copy !req
489. They don't give a shit
about people
like you, Arthur.Copy !req
490. And they really
don't give a shitCopy !req
491. about people
like me, either.Copy !req
492. Fuck.Copy !req
493. How am I supposed
to get my
medication now?Copy !req
494. Who do I talk to?Copy !req
495. I'm sorry, Arthur.Copy !req
496. I think... I think
most women look at sex
like buying a car.Copy !req
497. You know, like,
"Can I see myself
in this long-term?"Copy !req
498. "Is it safe?"Copy !req
499. "Is it reliable?"Copy !req
500. - "Could it kill me?"Copy !req
501. Most guys,
we look at sex
like parking a car.Copy !req
502. We're like,
"There's a spot."Copy !req
503. "There's another spot.Copy !req
504. - That would work."Copy !req
505. "Oh, I have to pay?
Never mind."Copy !req
506. "Handicapped?
I hope no one sees this."Copy !req
507. All right, that's my time.
Thank you
very much, guys.Copy !req
508. One more time
for Sam Morril, y'all.Copy !req
509. All right, now,
this next comic describesCopy !req
510. himself as
a lifelong Gotham residentCopy !req
511. who from a young age
was always toldCopy !req
512. that his purpose in lifeCopy !req
513. was to bring laughter and joy
into this cold,
dark world.Copy !req
514. - Um... Okay.Copy !req
515. Please help me
welcome
Arthur Fleck, y'all.Copy !req
516. Arthur Fleck.Copy !req
517. Hello, it's good
to be here.Copy !req
518. I hated school
when I was a kid.Copy !req
519. I hated school
as a kid.Copy !req
520. My mother
would say,Copy !req
521. "You should enjoy it.Copy !req
522. One day,
you'll have to
work for a living."Copy !req
523. "No, I won't, Ma,Copy !req
524. I'm gonna
be a comedian."Copy !req
525. Um...Copy !req
526. Here's one.Copy !req
527. You know, I was
just thinking
the other day,Copy !req
528. - why are
the rich people...Copy !req
529. You believe that shit?Copy !req
530. Fuck 'em.Copy !req
531. I think the guy
that did it
is a hero.Copy !req
532. Three less pricks
in Gotham City,Copy !req
533. only a million
more to go.Copy !req
534. And, buddy,
as always,Copy !req
535. thanks for the laughs.Copy !req
536. I'm sure
we'll see you again.Copy !req
537. You know
we'll be here, right?Copy !req
538. - I hope.Copy !req
539. Tomorrow night,
we have Diana Hudson,
Greg Gordon,Copy !req
540. and animal expert,
Hugh Little.Copy !req
541. Thanks for watching.Copy !req
542. Good night,
and always remember,Copy !req
543. - that's life.Copy !req
544. That's life.Copy !req
545. Momma, time
to wake up
and go to bed.Copy !req
546. - Hmm? Oh...Copy !req
547. Oh, Happy.Copy !req
548. Happy, I wrote
a new letter.Copy !req
549. Come on,
dance with me.Copy !req
550. For
Thomas Wayne.
It's important.Copy !req
551. You smell like cologne.Copy !req
552. It's 'cause
I just had
a big date.Copy !req
553. Oh.Copy !req
554. Just don't forget
to mail it.Copy !req
555. The
Murray Franklin Show
is taped liveCopy !req
556. before a studio audienceCopy !req
557. in beautiful downtown
Gotham City.Copy !req
558. You're gonna kill me.
You're gonna give me
a heart attack!Copy !req
559. Don't give me your...Copy !req
560. - No. No.Copy !req
561. I'm not talking
to you until you stop
being angry!Copy !req
562. Okay.Copy !req
563. Okay.Copy !req
564. I'm not angry, Mom.Copy !req
565. I'm not angry.Copy !req
566. Please.Copy !req
567. Mom, is this real?Copy !req
568. He's an
extraordinary man,
Happy.Copy !req
569. He's a very
powerful man.Copy !req
570. We were in love.Copy !req
571. He said it was
best that
we not be togetherCopy !req
572. because of appearances.Copy !req
573. And I could never
tell anyone because...Copy !req
574. Well, I signed
some papers.Copy !req
575. And besides,
you can imagineCopy !req
576. what people would say
about Thomas and me.Copy !req
577. What they'd say
about you.Copy !req
578. What would
they say, Mom?Copy !req
579. Hmm.Copy !req
580. Hmm.Copy !req
581. Hi.Copy !req
582. What's your name?Copy !req
583. I'm Bruce.Copy !req
584. Bruce.Copy !req
585. I'm Arthur.Copy !req
586. That's better.Copy !req
587. Bruce! Bruce!Copy !req
588. Get away
from that man.Copy !req
589. It's okay.
I'm a good guy.Copy !req
590. What are you doing?
Who are you?Copy !req
591. I'm here to see
Mr. Wayne.Copy !req
592. Well, you shouldn't be
speaking to his son.Copy !req
593. Why did you give him
these flowers?Copy !req
594. No,
they're not real.Copy !req
595. It's magic.Copy !req
596. I was just trying to
make him smile.Copy !req
597. Well, it's not funny,
is it?Copy !req
598. Do I need
to call the police?Copy !req
599. No. Please.Copy !req
600. My mother's name
is Penny.
Penny Fleck.Copy !req
601. She used
to work here
years ago.Copy !req
602. Can you please tell
Mr. Wayne
I need to see him?Copy !req
603. You are her son.Copy !req
604. Yeah.Copy !req
605. Did you know her?Copy !req
606. I know about
the two of them.Copy !req
607. She told me everything.Copy !req
608. There's nothing
to know.Copy !req
609. There is no "them."Copy !req
610. Your mother
was delusional.Copy !req
611. She was
a sick woman.Copy !req
612. Don't say that.Copy !req
613. Just go.Copy !req
614. Mmm?Copy !req
615. Before you
make a fool
of yourself.Copy !req
616. Thomas Wayne
is my father.Copy !req
617. He left me.Copy !req
618. - Let go! Let go!Copy !req
619. Keep the respirations
above 15.Copy !req
620. Slow and steady.
We got some
stairs coming up.Copy !req
621. Mom?Copy !req
622. What happened?Copy !req
623. - Who are you?
- I'm her son.Copy !req
624. - What happened?
- You can probably
help usCopy !req
625. out inside.
We don't know
what happened yet.Copy !req
626. - Hop in the back
of the ambulance.
- Step.Copy !req
627. One more.
We got one more lift.Copy !req
628. I'm gettingCopy !req
629. a little resistance here,
Michael.Copy !req
630. Lift.Copy !req
631. I'm right here.Copy !req
632. Excuse me, sir.Copy !req
633. Does your mother take
any medications?Copy !req
634. - No.
- Excuse me,Copy !req
635. - I couldn't hear you.
- No.Copy !req
636. Sir, when was
the last time
you spoke to her?Copy !req
637. I don't know.Copy !req
638. Mr. Fleck.Copy !req
639. Sorry to bother you.
I'm Detective Garrity.Copy !req
640. This is my partner,
Detective Burke.Copy !req
641. We had a few questions
for you, but you
weren't home,Copy !req
642. so we spoke
with your mother.Copy !req
643. Oh.Copy !req
644. What did you
say to her?Copy !req
645. Did you do this?Copy !req
646. What? No.Copy !req
647. No, no, no.
We just asked her
some questions,Copy !req
648. and she got hysterical.Copy !req
649. Hyperventilating,Copy !req
650. collapsed and
hit her head
pretty hard.Copy !req
651. Yeah.
The doctor said
she had a stroke.Copy !req
652. We're sorry to
hear about that.Copy !req
653. But, like I said,
I still have
some questions for you.Copy !req
654. They're about
the subway killingsCopy !req
655. that happened
last week.Copy !req
656. You've heard
about them,
right?Copy !req
657. Yeah.Copy !req
658. It's horrible.Copy !req
659. Right.Copy !req
660. So, we spoke
with your boss
over at Haha's.Copy !req
661. He said you were fired
for bringing a gunCopy !req
662. into the children's hospital.Copy !req
663. - Is that true,
Mr. Fleck?
- It was a prop.Copy !req
664. It's part
of my act.Copy !req
665. I'm a party clown.Copy !req
666. All right.
So, why were
you fired?Copy !req
667. They said
I wasn't funny enough.Copy !req
668. Can you imagine that?Copy !req
669. If you don't mind,
I have to go take care
of my mother.Copy !req
670. Your boss also
gave us
one of your cards.Copy !req
671. This condition of yours,
the laughing,Copy !req
672. is it real,Copy !req
673. or some sort
of clown thing?Copy !req
674. - A clown thing?
- Yeah.Copy !req
675. I mean,
is it part
of your act?Copy !req
676. What do you think?Copy !req
677. It's exit only.Copy !req
678. She's gonna be okay.Copy !req
679. I'm gonna
get a coffee.Copy !req
680. You want one?Copy !req
681. Yeah.Copy !req
682. So,
the other night,
I told my youngest son Billy,Copy !req
683. you know, the new one,
the not-so-bright one.Copy !req
684. I told him,
"The garbage strikeCopy !req
685. is still going on, Billy."Copy !req
686. And he says,
and I'm not kidding,
Billy says,Copy !req
687. "So, where are
we gonna get
all our garbage from?"Copy !req
688. And finally,
in a world
where everyoneCopy !req
689. thinks they could
do my job,Copy !req
690. we got this video tape
from Pogo's Comedy Club,Copy !req
691. right here in Gotham.Copy !req
692. Here's a guy who thinks
if you just
keep laughing,Copy !req
693. it'll somehow
make you funny.Copy !req
694. Check out
this joker.Copy !req
695. Oh, my God.Copy !req
696. I hated school
as a kid.Copy !req
697. But my mother
would always say,Copy !req
698. "You should enjoy it.Copy !req
699. One day,
you'll have to
work for a living."Copy !req
700. "No, I won't, Ma.Copy !req
701. I'm gonna be
a comedian."Copy !req
702. You shoulda
listened
to your mother.Copy !req
703. Hey, one more.
One more, Bobby.Copy !req
704. All right, let's see
one more.
I love this guy.Copy !req
705. It's funny,Copy !req
706. when I was
a little boyCopy !req
707. and told people
I was gonna
be a comedian,Copy !req
708. everyone laughed at me.Copy !req
709. Well, no one's
laughing now.Copy !req
710. You can say
that again, pal.Copy !req
711. All right, we got
a great show
for you tonight.Copy !req
712. Chuck Conby is here,
actress Joanne Mulligan,Copy !req
713. and new music from
Mel Rubin and the Stiffs.Copy !req
714. As tensions
mount around
the metro area,Copy !req
715. Mayor Stokes
has pleaded for
cooler heads to prevail.Copy !req
716. City services
have been affected,Copy !req
717. and some businesses
have decidedCopy !req
718. to remain closed
amid the unrest.Copy !req
719. Chuck Stevens
filed this report.Copy !req
720. The anger
and resentmentCopy !req
721. that's been building
in the city for weeksCopy !req
722. seems close to exploding.Copy !req
723. Protesters,
many dressed
as clowns,Copy !req
724. took to the streets todayCopy !req
725. in one of
several planned
demonstrationsCopy !req
726. taking on
the city's elite,Copy !req
727. including a massive rally
outsideCopy !req
728. tomorrow night's
benefit at Wayne Hall.Copy !req
729. What's the point
of all this?Copy !req
730. the rich.
Thomas Wayne.Copy !req
731. That's what this whole thing is about.Copy !req
732. the whole system.Copy !req
733. Wayne,
who recently announcedCopy !req
734. he is running for mayor,Copy !req
735. will be attending
the benefit.Copy !req
736. You might remember
it was Thomas WayneCopy !req
737. who first referred toCopy !req
738. many of Gotham's residents
as "clowns."Copy !req
739. Today, he offered
little in the way
of an apology.Copy !req
740. Well, what
I will say is,Copy !req
741. there's something wrong
with those people.Copy !req
742. I am here
to help them.Copy !req
743. I'm gonna
lift them out of poverty,Copy !req
744. help make
their lives better.Copy !req
745. That is why
I'm running.Copy !req
746. And they may not
realize it,
but I'm their only hope.Copy !req
747. Down with Wayne!
Down with Wayne!Copy !req
748. Down with Wayne!
Down with Wayne!Copy !req
749. Can I help you, pal?Copy !req
750. I don't know
what to say.Copy !req
751. Do you want
an autograph
or something?Copy !req
752. No.Copy !req
753. My name is Arthur.Copy !req
754. Penny Fleck
is my mother.Copy !req
755. Jesus.Copy !req
756. You're the guy
that came to
my house yesterday.Copy !req
757. - Yes.Copy !req
758. I'm sorry
I just showed up.Copy !req
759. But my mother
told me everything,Copy !req
760. and I had
to talk to you.Copy !req
761. Look, pal,
I'm not your father.Copy !req
762. What's wrong with you?Copy !req
763. Look at us.Copy !req
764. I think you are.Copy !req
765. Well, that's impossibleCopy !req
766. because you're adopted,Copy !req
767. and I never slept with
your mother.Copy !req
768. - I wasn't adopted.
- What do you
want from me?Copy !req
769. - Money?
- No, I don't...Copy !req
770. I wasn't adopted.Copy !req
771. Jesus.
She never told you?Copy !req
772. Told me what?Copy !req
773. Your mother adopted you
while she was
working for us.Copy !req
774. That's not true.Copy !req
775. Why are you
saying that?Copy !req
776. Then she was arrested
and committedCopy !req
777. to Arkham State Hospital,Copy !req
778. when you were
just a little boy.Copy !req
779. Why are you
saying this?Copy !req
780. I don't need you to
tell me lies.Copy !req
781. I know
it seems strange.Copy !req
782. I don't mean to
make you uncomfortable.Copy !req
783. I don't know
why everyone
is so rude.Copy !req
784. I don't know
why you are.Copy !req
785. I don't want
anything from you.Copy !req
786. Maybe a little
bit of warmth,
maybe a hug, Dad!Copy !req
787. How about
just a little bit
of fucking decency?Copy !req
788. What is it
with you people?Copy !req
789. You say that stuff
about my mother.Copy !req
790. She's crazy.Copy !req
791. She's...Copy !req
792. You think
this is funny?Copy !req
793. Dad, it's me.
Come on.Copy !req
794. Touch
my son again,Copy !req
795. - I'll fucking kill you.Copy !req
796. Hello, Mr. Fleck.

questions for you.Copy !req
799. We stopped by
your apartment today,
but you weren't home.Copy !req
800. Please give me a call

this message.Copy !req
801. Again, Detective Garrity,Copy !req

806. I don't know
if you're aware,Copy !req
807. but Murray played
a clip of your stand-upCopy !req
808. on the show recently,Copy !req
809. and we have gotten
an amazing response
from our viewers.Copy !req
810. Murray asked me
to give you a call
and see if you're...Copy !req
811. Who is this?Copy !req
812. Oh, hi,
this is Shirley Woods.Copy !req
813. I'm the show booker from
Live with Murray Franklin.Copy !req
814. Is this Arthur?Copy !req
815. Yes.Copy !req
816. Hi, Arthur.
Well, as
I was saying,Copy !req
817. we've gotten
a lot of calls
about your clip.Copy !req
818. Amazing responses.Copy !req
819. And Murray asked
if I would
reach out to youCopy !req
820. to see if you would
come on as his guest.Copy !req
821. Murray wants me
on The Murray Franklin Show?Copy !req
822. Yeah.
Isn't that great?Copy !req
823. He'd love to talk to you,
maybe do
some of your act?Copy !req
824. That sound good
to you?Copy !req
825. Yeah, that sounds great.Copy !req
826. Can we set up
a date
right now?Copy !req
827. Are you available
next Thursday?Copy !req
828. Hey.Copy !req
829. Man,
I'm sorry about that,
my man.Copy !req
830. All records 10 years
or older, they store
in the basement,Copy !req
831. and you're talking
about something
30 years ago, so...Copy !req
832. Can I ask you
a question?Copy !req
833. Sure.Copy !req
834. How does someone
wind up in here?Copy !req
835. Have they all,
all the people
committed crimes?Copy !req
836. Well, yeah, some have.Copy !req
837. You know,
some are just crazy.Copy !req
838. Pose dangers to
themselves and others.Copy !req
839. Some just got
nowhere else to go.Copy !req
840. Don't know
what to do,
you know?Copy !req
841. - Yeah.
I hear you, brother.
- Hmm.Copy !req
842. Sometimes,
I don't know
what to do.Copy !req
843. Last time,
I ended up taking
it out on some people.Copy !req
844. I thought it was
gonna bother me,
but it really hasn't.Copy !req
845. What's that?Copy !req
846. I fucked up
and did some
bad shit.Copy !req
847. You know
what I'm talking about,Copy !req
848. it's so hard
to just try and
be happy all the time.Copy !req
849. Hey, listen, man.Copy !req
850. I'm just
an administrative assistant.Copy !req
851. Like a clerk,
you know.Copy !req
852. All I do
is file paperwork.Copy !req
853. I don't know
what to tell you.Copy !req
854. But you should
see somebody.Copy !req
855. You know,
they got programs,Copy !req
856. city services,
stuff like that.Copy !req

869. I'm sorry, man.
Like I said, I can't
release these records,Copy !req
870. you know,
without proper forms.Copy !req
871. I could
get in trouble.Copy !req
872. Look, if you want
to bring your mom
in here to sign,Copy !req
873. that'll be much easier,Copy !req
874. but I can't
let this go without
her signature, okay?Copy !req
875. I'm sorry.Copy !req
876. No, man! Shit!Copy !req
877. Come on, man.

881. That's not true.Copy !req
882. Thomas had that
all made up,Copy !req

stood byCopy !req
885. while one
of your boyfriendsCopy !req
886. repeatedly abused
your adopted sonCopy !req
887. and battered you.Copy !req
888. Penny,Copy !req
889. your son
was found tied

890. in your filthy apartment.Copy !req
891. Malnourished with multiple
bruises across his bodyCopy !req
892. and severe trauma
to his head.Copy !req
893. I never heard
him cry.Copy !req
894. He's always been
such a happy
little boy.Copy !req
895. It's time
for bed.Copy !req
896. Oh, my God!Copy !req
897. - What are you
doing in here?Copy !req
898. You're in the
wrong apartment.Copy !req
899. Your name's Arthur, right?Copy !req
900. You live
down the hall.Copy !req
901. I really
need you to leave.Copy !req
902. My little girl
is sleeping
in the other room.Copy !req
903. Please.Copy !req
904. I had a bad day.Copy !req

Is your mother home?Copy !req
906. - Shut up!Copy !req
907. Hey, Penny.Copy !req
908. Penny Fleck.Copy !req

911. that my laugh
was a condition?Copy !req
912. That there was
something wrong
with me?Copy !req
913. There isn't.Copy !req
914. That's the real me.Copy !req

my entire fucking life.Copy !req
919. You know
what's funny?Copy !req
920. You know
what really
makes me laugh?Copy !req
921. I used to think
that my life
was a tragedy...Copy !req
922. but now I realizeCopy !req
923. it's a fucking comedy.Copy !req

952. Come on in.Copy !req
953. Did you get
a new gig?Copy !req
954. No.Copy !req
955. Oh, you must be
going down to
that rally at City Hall.Copy !req
956. I hear
it's gonna be nuts.Copy !req
957. Oh, is that today?Copy !req
958. Yeah.Copy !req
959. What's with
the makeup then?Copy !req
960. My mom died.Copy !req
961. I'm celebrating.Copy !req
962. Right. We heard.Copy !req
963. That's why
we came by.Copy !req
964. We figured, you know,
you could use
some cheering up.Copy !req
965. Aw, that's sweet.Copy !req
966. But, no, I feel good.Copy !req
967. Yeah, I stopped
taking my medication.Copy !req
968. I feel
a lot better now.Copy !req
969. Oh, okay.
Good for you.Copy !req
970. So, hey, listen,
I don't know
if you heard,Copy !req
971. but the cops
have been coming
around the shop,Copy !req
972. talking to all the guys
about those
subway murders.Copy !req
973. - And, um...
- They didn't
talk to me.Copy !req
974. That's because
the suspect was
a regular-sized person.Copy !req
975. If it was
a fucking midget,
you'd be in jail right now.Copy !req
976. Anyway, um,Copy !req
977. Hoyt said
that they talked
to you,Copy !req
978. and now
they're looking for me,Copy !req
979. and I just wanna know
what you said.Copy !req
980. Make sure
our stories line up.Copy !req
981. - Seeing as how
you're my boy.

982. - That makes
a lot of sense.

983. Thank you, Randall.
Thank you so much.Copy !req
984. Arthur!Copy !req
985. - No!Copy !req

1049. - We're going
live now toCopy !req
1050. co-anchor Courtney Weathers,Copy !req
1051. who's standing by outside
the Bedford Park Station,Copy !req
1052. near where the shooting
took place.Copy !req
1053. Courtney,
what's the
scene there?Copy !req
1054. Murray.Copy !req
1055. Hey, hey, hey.
It's Mr. Franklin, buddy.Copy !req
1056. Oh, come on, Gene.
That's all bullshit.Copy !req
1057. Thank you, Murray.Copy !req
1058. I feel like
I know you.Copy !req
1059. I've been
watching you forever.Copy !req
1060. Thank you.Copy !req
1061. What's with the face?Copy !req
1062. I mean,
are you part
of the protest?Copy !req
1063. No.Copy !req
1064. No, I don't believe
in any of that.Copy !req
1065. I don't believe
in anything.Copy !req
1066. I just thought
it'd be good
for my act.Copy !req
1067. For your act?
Didn't you hearCopy !req
1068. what happened
on the subway?
Some clown got killed.Copy !req
1069. He's aware of that.
He's aware of that. Yeah.Copy !req
1070. No, I hadn't heard.Copy !req
1071. - Yeah.
- You see? This isCopy !req
1072. what I'm telling you.
The audience isCopy !req
1073. gonna go crazy
if you put this guy on.Copy !req
1074. Maybe for a bit,
but not a whole segment.Copy !req
1075. Gene, it's gonna work.
It's gonna work.Copy !req
1076. - We're gonna
go with it.Copy !req
1077. Thank you, Murray.Copy !req
1078. Couple rules, though.Copy !req
1079. No cursing.
No off-color material.Copy !req
1080. We do a clean show.Copy !req
1081. - Okay?
- Mmm-hmm.Copy !req
1082. You'll go on
right after Dr. Sally.Copy !req
1083. I love Dr. Sally.Copy !req
1084. Good, good.
Someone willCopy !req
1085. - come and
get you, okay?
- Okay. Perfect.Copy !req
1086. Good luck.Copy !req
1087. - Thanks, Murray.
- Okay.Copy !req
1088. - Murray, one small thing.
- Yeah.Copy !req
1089. When you
bring me out,Copy !req
1090. can you
introduce me as Joker?Copy !req
1091. What's wrong
with your real name?Copy !req
1092. That's what
you called me
on the show.Copy !req
1093. A joker.Copy !req
1094. Do you remember?Copy !req
1095. - Did I?
- I don't know.Copy !req
1096. Well, if you say so,
kid, you know,
Joker it is.Copy !req
1097. It's good.Copy !req
1098. Thanks, Murray.Copy !req
1099. I'll try it,
you know,Copy !req
1100. but I'm not sure
my wife will
let me do it.Copy !req
1101. Maybe my next wife.Copy !req
1102. You gotta see
our next guest
for yourself.Copy !req
1103. I'm pretty sure
this guy
could use a doctor.Copy !req
1104. - Oh!Copy !req
1105. Does he have
sexual problems?Copy !req
1106. Oh, he looks
like he's got
a lot of problems.Copy !req
1107. All right, Bobby,
let's show that clip
one last time.Copy !req
1108. I hated school
as a kid.Copy !req
1109. But my mother
would always say,Copy !req
1110. "You should enjoy it.Copy !req
1111. One day,
you'll have to
work for a living."Copy !req
1112. "No, I won't, Ma.Copy !req
1113. I'm gonna be
a comedian."Copy !req
1114. - Okay.
You may...Copy !req
1115. You may have seen
that clip
of our next guest.Copy !req
1116. Now, before
he comes out,
I just want to sayCopy !req
1117. that we're
all heartbrokenCopy !req
1118. about what's going on
in the city tonight.Copy !req
1119. But this is
how he wanted
to come out,Copy !req
1120. and honestly,
I think we could
all use a good laugh.Copy !req
1121. So, please welcome, Joker.Copy !req
1122. Are you
all right, Doctor?Copy !req
1123. Well,
that was quite
an entrance.Copy !req
1124. You okay?Copy !req
1125. Yeah.Copy !req
1126. This is exactly
how I imagined it.Copy !req
1127. Well, that makes
one of us.Copy !req
1128. So, can you tell us
about this look?Copy !req
1129. When we spoke earlier,Copy !req
1130. you mentioned that
this look is not
a political statement.Copy !req
1131. Is that right?Copy !req
1132. That's right, Murray.
I'm not political.Copy !req
1133. I'm just trying to
make people laugh.Copy !req
1134. - And how's that
going for you?Copy !req
1135. So, I know
you're a comedian.Copy !req
1136. You been working on
any new material?Copy !req
1137. You wanna
tell us a joke?Copy !req
1138. Yeah?Copy !req
1139. Okay.Copy !req
1140. He's got a book.Copy !req
1141. A book of jokes.Copy !req
1142. Take your time.
We got all night.Copy !req
1143. Okay, okay.
Here's one.Copy !req
1144. Knock, knock.Copy !req
1145. And you had to
look that up?Copy !req
1146. I want to
get it right.Copy !req
1147. Knock, knock.Copy !req
1148. Who's there?Copy !req
1149. It's the police, ma'am.Copy !req
1150. Your son's been hit
by a drunk driver.Copy !req
1151. - He's dead.Copy !req
1152. - Oh, no, no, no.Copy !req
1153. No, you cannot
joke about that.Copy !req
1154. Yeah, that's
not funny, Arthur.Copy !req
1155. That's not that
kind of humor
we do on this show.Copy !req
1156. Okay. I'm...
Yeah, I'm sorry.Copy !req
1157. It's just, you know,
it's been a rough
few weeks, Murray.Copy !req
1158. Ever sinceCopy !req
1159. I killed
those three
Wall Street guys.Copy !req
1160. Okay, I'm waiting
for the punch line.Copy !req
1161. There is
no punch line.Copy !req
1162. - It's not a joke.Copy !req
1163. You're serious,
aren't you?Copy !req
1164. You're telling us
you killedCopy !req
1165. those three young men
on the subway?Copy !req
1166. Mmm-hmm.Copy !req
1167. And why should
we believe you?Copy !req
1168. I got nothing
left to lose.Copy !req
1169. Nothing can
hurt me anymore.Copy !req
1170. My life is
nothing but a comedy.Copy !req
1171. Well, let me
get this straight,Copy !req
1172. you think that killing
those guys is funny?Copy !req
1173. I do.Copy !req
1174. And I'm tired
of pretending
it's not.Copy !req
1175. Comedy is subjective,
Murray.Copy !req
1176. Isn't that
what they say?Copy !req
1177. All of you,Copy !req
1178. the system
that knows so much,Copy !req
1179. you decide
what's right or wrong.Copy !req
1180. The same way
that you decide
what's funny or not!Copy !req
1181. Get him off!Copy !req
1182. Well, okay,
I think
I might understandCopy !req
1183. that you did this to
start a movement,Copy !req
1184. to become a symbol?Copy !req
1185. Come on, Murray.Copy !req
1186. Do I look like
the kind of clownCopy !req
1187. that could
start a movement?Copy !req
1188. I killed those guys
because they were awful.Copy !req
1189. Everybody is awful
these days.Copy !req
1190. It's enough to
make anyone crazy.Copy !req
1191. Okay.
So, that's it,
you're crazy.Copy !req
1192. That's your defense
for killing
three young men?Copy !req
1193. No.Copy !req
1194. They couldn't
carry a tune
to save their lives.Copy !req
1195. Oh, why is everybody
so upset
about these guys?Copy !req
1196. If it was me
dying on the sidewalk,Copy !req
1197. you'd walk
right over me!Copy !req
1198. I pass you every day,
and you don't notice me.Copy !req
1199. But these guys, what,
because Thomas WayneCopy !req
1200. went and cried
about them
on TV?Copy !req
1201. You have a problem
with Thomas Wayne, too?Copy !req
1202. Yes, I do.Copy !req
1203. Have you seen
what it's like
out there, Murray?Copy !req
1204. Do you ever actually
leave the studio?Copy !req
1205. Everybody just yells
and screams
at each other.Copy !req
1206. Nobody's civil anymore.Copy !req
1207. Nobody thinks
what it's like
to be the other guy.Copy !req
1208. You think men
like Thomas Wayne
ever thinkCopy !req
1209. what it's like to be
someone like me?Copy !req
1210. To be somebody
but themselves?
They don't.Copy !req
1211. They think that
we'll just sit thereCopy !req
1212. and take it,
like good little boys!Copy !req
1213. That we won't werewolf
and go wild!Copy !req
1214. You finished?Copy !req
1215. I mean,
it's so much
self-pity, Arthur.Copy !req
1216. You sound like
you're making excusesCopy !req
1217. for killing
those young men.Copy !req
1218. Not everybody,
and I'll tell you this,Copy !req
1219. not everyone is awful.Copy !req
1220. You're awful, Murray.Copy !req
1221. Me? I'm awful?Copy !req
1222. Oh, yeah,
how am I awful?Copy !req
1223. Playing my video.Copy !req
1224. Inviting me
on this show.Copy !req
1225. You just wanted to
make fun of me.Copy !req
1226. You're just like
the rest of them.Copy !req
1227. You don't know
the first thing
about me, pal.Copy !req
1228. Look what happened,
because of what you did.
What it led to.Copy !req
1229. There are riots
out there.Copy !req
1230. Two policemen are
in critical condition,Copy !req
1231. - and you're laughing.Copy !req
1232. You're laughing.Copy !req
1233. Someone was killed today,
because of
what you did.Copy !req
1234. I know.Copy !req
1235. How about
another joke,
Murray?Copy !req
1236. No, I think we've had
enough of your jokes.Copy !req
1237. - What do you get...
- I don't think so.Copy !req
1238. when you cross
a mentally-ill lonerCopy !req
1239. with a society
that abandons himCopy !req
1240. and treats him
like trash?Copy !req
1241. Call the police, Gene!Copy !req
1242. - I'll tell you
what you get!
- Call the police.Copy !req
1243. You get
what you
fucking deserve!Copy !req
1244. Good night.
And always
remember, that's...Copy !req
1245. Breaking news.Copy !req
1246. Popular TV talk show host,
Murray FranklinCopy !req
1247. was shot dead tonight
on the live telecast
of his program.Copy !req
1248. The man who was
introduced by FranklinCopy !req
1249. as "Joker" is
currently under arrest.Copy !req
1250. Police led
the suspect handcuffed
out of the studio.Copy !req
