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

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

858. My name is Shirley Woods.Copy !req
859. I work on
The Murray Franklin Show.Copy !req
860. I don't know if you're aware,Copy !req
861. but Murray played
a clip of your stand-upCopy !req
862. on the show recently,Copy !req
863. and we have gotten an amazing
response from our viewers.Copy !req
864. Murray asked me to give you
a call and see if you're...Copy !req
865. Who is this?Copy !req
866. Oh, hi, this is Shirley Woods.Copy !req
867. I'm the show booker from
Live with Murray Franklin.Copy !req
868. Is this Arthur?Copy !req
869. Yes.Copy !req
870. Hi, Arthur.
Well, as I was saying,Copy !req
871. we've gotten a lot of calls
about your clip.Copy !req
872. Amazing responses.Copy !req
873. And Murray asked
if I would reach out to youCopy !req
874. to see if you would
come on as his guest.Copy !req
875. Murray wants me
on The Murray Franklin Show?Copy !req
876. Yeah. Isn't that great?Copy !req
877. He'd love to talk to you,
maybe do some of your act?Copy !req

something 30 years ago, so...Copy !req
885. Can I ask you a question?Copy !req
886. Sure.Copy !req
887. How does someone
wind up in here?Copy !req
888. Have they all, all the people

889. Well, yeah, some have.Copy !req
890. You know, some are just crazy.Copy !req

893. Don't know what to do,
you know?Copy !req
894. - Yeah. I hear you, brother.
- Hmm.Copy !req
895. Sometimes,
I don't know what to do.Copy !req
896. Last time, I ended up taking
it out on some people.Copy !req
897. I thought it was gonna bother
me, but it really hasn't.Copy !req
898. What's that?Copy !req
899. I fucked up and
did some bad shit.Copy !req
900. You know
what I'm talking about,Copy !req
901. it's so hard to just try and
be happy all the time.Copy !req
902. Hey, listen, man.Copy !req
903. I'm just
an administrative assistant.Copy !req
904. Like a clerk, you know.Copy !req
905. All I do is file paperwork.Copy !req

939. repeatedly abused
your adopted sonCopy !req

943. in your filthy apartment.Copy !req
944. Malnourished with multiple
bruises across his bodyCopy !req
945. and severe trauma to his head.Copy !req

947. He's always been
such a happy little boy.Copy !req
948. It's time for bed.Copy !req

1024. I tell ya, I can't deny itCopy !req
1025. I thought of quitting, babyCopy !req

1027. And if I didn't think
It was worth one single tryCopy !req
1028. Coming.Copy !req
1029. I'd jump right on a big bird
And then I'd fly...Copy !req
1030. Hey, Arthur.Copy !req

1032. Oh, hey, guys.Copy !req
1033. Come on in.Copy !req
1034. Did you get a new gig?Copy !req
1035. No.Copy !req
1036. Oh, you must be going down to
that rally at City Hall.Copy !req
1037. I hear it's gonna be nuts.Copy !req
1038. Oh, is that today?Copy !req
1039. Yeah.Copy !req

1043. Right. We heard.Copy !req
1044. That's why we came by.Copy !req
1045. We figured, you know, you
could use some cheering up.Copy !req
1046. Aw, that's sweet.Copy !req
1047. But, no, I feel good.Copy !req
1048. Yeah, I stopped
taking my medication.Copy !req
1049. I feel a lot better now.Copy !req
1050. Oh, okay. Good for you.Copy !req

1052. but the cops have been coming
around the shop,Copy !req
1053. talking to all the guys
about those subway murders.Copy !req
1054. - And, um...
- They didn't talk to me.Copy !req
1055. That's because the suspect
was a regular-sized person.Copy !req
1056. If it was a fucking midget,
you'd be in jail right now.Copy !req
1057. Anyway, um,Copy !req
1058. Hoyt said
that they talked to you,Copy !req
1059. and now
they're looking for me,Copy !req
1060. and I just wanna know
what you said.Copy !req
1061. Make sure our stories line up.Copy !req
1062. - Seeing as how you're my boy.

1132. Courtney,
what's the scene there?Copy !req
1133. Murray.Copy !req
1134. Hey, hey, hey.
It's Mr. Franklin, buddy.Copy !req
1135. Oh, come on, Gene.
That's all bullshit.Copy !req
1136. Thank you, Murray.Copy !req
1137. I feel like I know you.Copy !req
1138. I've been
watching you forever.Copy !req
1139. Thank you.Copy !req
1140. What's with the face?Copy !req
1141. I mean,
are you part of the protest?Copy !req
1142. No.Copy !req
1143. No, I don't believe
in any of that.Copy !req
1144. I don't believe in anything.Copy !req
1145. I just thought
it'd be good for my act.Copy !req
1146. For your act? Didn't you hearCopy !req
1147. what happened on the subway?
Some clown got killed.Copy !req
1148. He's aware of that.
He's aware of that. Yeah.Copy !req
1149. No, I hadn't heard.Copy !req
1150. - Yeah.
- You see?Copy !req
1151. This is what I'm telling you.
The audience is gonna go crazyCopy !req
1152. if you put this guy on.Copy !req
1153. Maybe for a bit,
but not a whole segment.Copy !req
1154. Gene, it's gonna work.
It's gonna work.Copy !req
1155. We're gonna go with it.Copy !req
1156. Thank you, Murray.Copy !req
1157. Couple rules, though.Copy !req
1158. No cursing.
No off-color material.Copy !req
1159. We do a clean show.Copy !req
1160. - Okay?
- Mmm-hmm.Copy !req
1161. You'll go on
right after Dr. Sally.Copy !req
1162. I love Dr. Sally.Copy !req
1163. Good, good. Someone willCopy !req
1164. - come and get you, okay?
- Okay. Perfect.Copy !req
1165. Good luck.Copy !req
1166. - Thanks, Murray.
- Okay.Copy !req
1167. - Murray, one small thing.
- Yeah.Copy !req
1168. When you bring me out,Copy !req
1169. can you introduce me as Joker?Copy !req
1170. What's wrong
with your real name?Copy !req
1171. That's what you called me
on the show.Copy !req
1172. A joker.Copy !req
1173. Do you remember?Copy !req
1174. - Did I?
- I don't know.Copy !req
1175. Well, if you say so, kid,
you know, Joker it is.Copy !req
1176. It's good.Copy !req
1177. Thanks, Murray.Copy !req
1178. I'll try it, you know,Copy !req
1179. but I'm not sure
my wife will let me do it.Copy !req
1180. Maybe my next wife.Copy !req
1181. You gotta see
our next guest for yourself.Copy !req
1182. I'm pretty sure
this guy could use a doctor.Copy !req
1183. Does he have sexual problems?Copy !req
1184. Oh, he looks like
he's got a lot of problems.Copy !req
1185. All right, Bobby, let's show
that clip one last time.Copy !req
1186. I hated school as a kid.Copy !req
1187. But my mother
would always say,Copy !req
1188. "You should enjoy it.Copy !req
1189. One day, you'll have to
work for a living."Copy !req
1190. "No, I won't, Ma.Copy !req
1191. I'm gonna be a comedian."Copy !req
1192. Okay. You may...Copy !req
1193. You may have seen that clip
of our next guest.Copy !req
1194. Now, before he comes out,
I just want to sayCopy !req
1195. that we're all heartbrokenCopy !req
1196. about what's going on
in the city tonight.Copy !req
1197. But this is
how he wanted to come out,Copy !req
1198. and honestly, I think
we could all use a good laugh.Copy !req
1199. So, please welcome, Joker.Copy !req
1200. Are you all right, Doctor?Copy !req
1201. Well,
that was quite an entrance.Copy !req
1202. You okay?Copy !req
1203. Yeah.Copy !req
1204. This is exactly
how I imagined it.Copy !req
1205. Well, that makes one of us.Copy !req
1206. So, can you tell us
about this look?Copy !req
1207. When we spoke earlier,Copy !req
1208. you mentioned that this look
is not a political statement.Copy !req
1209. Is that right?Copy !req
1210. That's right, Murray.
I'm not political.Copy !req
1211. I'm just trying to
make people laugh.Copy !req
1212. And how's that going for you?Copy !req
1213. So, I know you're a comedian.Copy !req
1214. You been working on
any new material?Copy !req
1215. You wanna tell us a joke?Copy !req
1216. Yeah?Copy !req
1217. Okay.Copy !req
1218. He's got a book.Copy !req
1219. A book of jokes.Copy !req
1220. Take your time.
We got all night.Copy !req
1221. Okay, okay. Here's one.Copy !req
1222. Knock, knock.Copy !req
1223. And you had to look that up?Copy !req
1224. I want to get it right.Copy !req
1225. Knock, knock.Copy !req
1226. Who's there?Copy !req
1227. It's the police, ma'am.Copy !req
1228. Your son's been hit
by a drunk driver.Copy !req
1229. He's dead.Copy !req
1230. Oh, no, no, no.Copy !req
1231. No, you cannot
joke about that.Copy !req
1232. Yeah, that's not funny,
Arthur.Copy !req
1233. That's not the kind of humor
we do on this show.Copy !req
1234. Okay. I'm... Yeah, I'm sorry.Copy !req
1235. It's just, you know, it's been
a rough few weeks, Murray.Copy !req
1236. Ever sinceCopy !req
1237. I killed
those three Wall Street guys.Copy !req
1238. Okay, I'm waiting
for the punchline.Copy !req
1239. There is no punchline.Copy !req
1240. It's not a joke.Copy !req
1241. You're serious, aren't you?Copy !req
1242. You're telling us you killedCopy !req
1243. those three young men
on the subway?Copy !req
1244. Mmm-hmm.Copy !req
1245. And why should we believe you?Copy !req
1246. I got nothing left to lose.Copy !req
1247. Nothing can hurt me anymore.Copy !req
1248. My life is
nothing but a comedy.Copy !req
1249. Well,
let me get this straight,Copy !req
1250. you think that killing
those guys is funny?Copy !req
1251. I do.Copy !req
1252. And I'm tired
of pretending it's not.Copy !req
1253. Comedy is subjective, Murray.Copy !req
1254. Isn't that what they say?Copy !req
1255. All of you,Copy !req
1256. the system that knows so much,Copy !req
1257. you decide
what's right or wrong.Copy !req
1258. The same way that you decide
what's funny or not!Copy !req
1259. Get him off!Copy !req
1260. Well, okay,
I think I might understandCopy !req
1261. that you did this to
start a movement,Copy !req
1262. to become a symbol?Copy !req
1263. Come on, Murray.Copy !req
1264. Do I look like
the kind of clownCopy !req
1265. that could start a movement?Copy !req
1266. I killed those guys
because they were awful.Copy !req
1267. Everybody is awful these days.Copy !req
1268. It's enough to
make anyone crazy.Copy !req
1269. Okay. So, that's it,
you're crazy.Copy !req
1270. That's your defense
for killing three young men?Copy !req
1271. No.Copy !req
1272. They couldn't carry a tune
to save their lives.Copy !req
1273. Oh, why is everybody
so upset about these guys?Copy !req
1274. If it was me
dying on the sidewalk,Copy !req
1275. you'd walk right over me!Copy !req
1276. I pass you every day,
and you don't notice me.Copy !req
1277. But these guys, what,
because Thomas WayneCopy !req
1278. went and cried about them
on TV?Copy !req
1279. You have a problem
with Thomas Wayne, too?Copy !req
1280. Yes, I do.Copy !req
1281. Have you seen what it's like
out there, Murray?Copy !req
1282. Do you ever actually
leave the studio?Copy !req
1283. Everybody just yells
and screams at each other.Copy !req
1284. Nobody's civil anymore.Copy !req
1285. Nobody thinks what it's like
to be the other guy.Copy !req
1286. You think men like
Thomas Wayne ever thinkCopy !req
1287. what it's like to be
someone like me?Copy !req
1288. To be somebody but themselves?
They don't.Copy !req
1289. They think that
we'll just sit thereCopy !req
1290. and take it,
like good little boys!Copy !req
1291. That we won't werewolf
and go wild!Copy !req
1292. You finished?Copy !req
1293. I mean, it's so much
self-pity, Arthur.Copy !req
1294. You sound like
you're making excusesCopy !req
1295. for killing those young men.Copy !req
1296. Not everybody,
and I'll tell you this,Copy !req
1297. not everyone is awful.Copy !req
1298. You're awful, Murray.Copy !req
1299. Me? I'm awful?Copy !req
1300. Oh, yeah, how am I awful?Copy !req
1301. Playing my video.Copy !req
1302. Inviting me on this show.Copy !req
1303. You just wanted to
make fun of me.Copy !req
1304. You're just like
the rest of them.Copy !req
1305. You don't know
the first thing about me, pal.Copy !req
