Joker (2019) Edit

A book of jokes.

A good one. You know that, right?

A groundswell of anti rich sentiment in the city.

A joker.

A little resistance here, Michael.

A poet, a pawn and a king

A poet, a pawn and a king

A prestigious New England university...

A very fine actor.

About people like me, either.

About what's going on in the city tonight.

Again, Detective Garrity,

Ah, can't complain.

All I do is file paperwork.

All I have are negative thoughts,

All of you,

All records 10 years or older, they store in the basement,

All right, Bobby, let's show that clip one last time.

All right, here it is. Fleck.

All right, let's see one more. I love this guy.

All right, now, this next comic describes

All right, that's my time. Thank you very much, guys.

All right, we got a great show for you tonight.

All right. So, why were you fired?

All that sacrifice, she must love you very much.

All the crazy shit out there.

All units, fire reported, north of alley.

Almost everyone in the city,

Although I didn't know any of them personally.

Amazing responses.

And always remember, that's life!

And animal expert, Hugh Little.

And as funny as it may seem

And as funny as it may seem

And as our city tries to make sense

And as you see, Gotham is burning.

And battered you.

And besides, you can imagine

And cleaning up is a good idea.

And die

And finally, in a world where everyone

And finally, tonight,

And have you thought more about

And he never came back.

And he says, and I'm not kidding, Billy says,

And honestly, I think we could all use a good laugh.

And how's that going for you?

And I could never tell anyone because...

And I had to talk to you.

And I just wanna know what you said.

And I just want you to know

And I know one thing

And I know one thing

And I never slept with your mother.

And I said, "Anything?" And she said...

And I'm tired of pretending it's not.

And I've never seen anything like it.

And if I didn't think It was worth one single try

And Murray asked if I would reach out to you

And my number is 212... 99.

And my wife is a senior in my "Intro To Western Civ."

And narcissistic personality disorder." Mmm.

And new music from Mel Rubin and the Stiffs.

And not just any rats,

And now they're looking for me,

And now, without further ado,

And one who can't move

And people are starting to notice.

And severe trauma to his head.

And she got hysterical.

And some businesses have decided

And take it, like good little boys!

And the guy was singing that his name was Carnival.

And the piano stylings of Yeldon and Chantel.

And they may not realize it, but I'm their only hope.

And they really don't give a shit

And told people I was gonna be a comedian,

And tonight are in serious

And treats him like trash?

And treats him like trash?

And turns to sorrow

And until a little while ago,

And until those kind of people change for the better,

And we have gotten an amazing response from our viewers.

And why should we believe you?

And you can pay me back some other time.

And you had to look that up?

And you in mid air

And you really want to

And you really want to show it

And you really want to show it

And you're laughing.

And you're talking about something 30 years ago, so...

And, buddy, as always,

Another day in chuckle town.

Anyway, um,

Are looking like slums.

Are taking the side of the killer.

Are we a pair?

Are we clear?

Are you all right, Doctor?

Are you available next Thursday?

Are you nuts? Did you see how close we were dancing?

Beat his ass!

Because I got jumped.

Because of appearances.

Because of the garbage situation.

Because people think you're weird.

Because that's my clown name at work.

Because Thomas Wayne is a good man.

Because you're adopted,

Before a studio audience

Before you came up?

Before you make a fool of yourself.

Besides, Randall told me

Big man, what's the good word?

Big man, what's the good word?

But I do.

But I don't let it, let it get me down

But I don't let it, let it get me down

But I got another complaint.

But I know I'm gonna change that tune

But I think to look at it, it's terrible.

But I think to look at it, it's terrible.

But I'm not sure my wife will let me do it.

But if there's nothing shakin' Come here this July

But in all seriousness, I mean, these rats are...

But, Happy, what makes you think you could do that?

But, like I said, I still have some questions for you.

But, no, I feel good.

Can I ask you a question?

Can I call someone? Is your mother home?

Can I help you, pal?

Can I see it?

Can we set up a date right now?

Can you imagine that?

Can you introduce me as Joker?

Can you please tell Mr. Wayne I need to see him?

Check out this joker.

Everybody just yells and screams at each other.

Everybody's telling me

Everyone laughed at me.

Excuse me, sir.

Expressed concern over the latest

Fuck 'em.

Fuck.

Fuck.

Fucking savages.

Funny thoughts or observations.

He left me.

He must not be getting my letters.

He owes it to us.

He said it was best that we not be together

He said you were fired for bringing a gun

He'd love to talk to you, maybe do some of your act?

He'll make a great mayor. Everybody says so.

He's a busy man.

He's a very powerful man.

He's always been such a happy little boy.

He's an extraordinary man, Happy.

He's aware of that. He's aware of that. Yeah.

He's coming!

Hi, Murray. Arthur.

Hi.

Himself as a lifelong Gotham resident

Hmm? Oh...

Hmm.

Hmm.

Hold that train! Hold it!

How about another joke, Murray?

How about just a little bit of fucking decency?

How about you?

How am I supposed to get my medication now?

How does it feel to have to come here?

How does someone wind up in here?

How the fuck do I know? Why does anybody do anything?

How's it going?

How's the comedy career? Are you a famous stand up yet?

Hoyt said that they talked to you,

Hoyt wants to see you in his office.

Hoyt, please, I love this job.

Hyperventilating,

I always hated that name.

I am here to help them.

I can't explain it to you any better than that.

I can't use my real last name at this college

I could come by tomorrow.

I could do that.

I could get in trouble.

I didn't know if I even really existed.

I do.

I don't believe in anything.

I don't even know why I like you.

I don't know if you're aware,

I don't know what to say.

I don't know what to tell you.

I don't know why everyone is so rude.

I don't know why you are.

I don't know.

I don't mean to make you uncomfortable.

I don't need you to tell me lies.

I don't think you ever really hear me.

I don't want anything from you.

I don't want you worrying about money, Mom.

I feel a lot better now.

I feel like I know you.

I forgot to punch out.

I fucked up and did some bad shit.

I got nothing left to lose.

I gotta take it out of your paycheck.

I had a bad day.

I hated school as a kid.

I hated school as a kid.

I hated school as a kid.

I hated school when I was a kid.

I have a gun.

I have a wife. We love to role play.

I have... I have a condition.

I haven't been happy

I hear it's gonna be nuts.

I heard about the beatdown you took.

I heard this song on the radio the other day,

I hope.

I just don't want to feel so bad anymore.

I just thought it'd be good for my act.

I killed those guys because they were awful.

I killed those three Wall Street guys.

I know about the two of them.

I know it seems strange.

I know what that's like, Murray.

I know.

I know.

I know.

I know. I know.

I like that. I like that a lot. Come on down.

I live right here in the city

I lived with my mother before I made it. Just me and her.

I love Dr. Sally.

I love you, Murray!

I love you, too.

I mean, are you part of the protest?

I mean, I loved hearing what you had to say.

I mean, I loved hearing what you had to say.

I mean, is it part of your act?

I mean, it's so much self pity, Arthur.

I never heard him cry.

I pass you every day, and you don't notice me.

I pick myself up And get back in the race

I pick myself up And get back in the race

I read it was a guy in full makeup.

I really need you to leave.

I said, for my whole life,

I said, that's life

I take good care of my mother.

I tell ya, I can't deny it

I think I did.

I think I felt better

I think I might be in danger of failing

I think I told you

I think the guy that did it is a hero.

I think you are.

I think... I think most women look at sex like buying a car.

I thought it was gonna bother me, but it really hasn't.

I thought of quitting, baby

I thought that was you.

I thought that you'd want what I want

I told him, "The garbage strike

I used to think that my life was a tragedy...

I want to get it right.

I was hoping you'd come in and rob the place.

I was just trying to make him smile.

I was wondering if you could ask the doctor

I wasn't adopted.

I wasn't bothering him. I was...

I work on The Murray Franklin Show.

I'd give it all up in a heartbeat

I'd jump right on a big bird And then I'd fly...

I'll fucking kill you.

I'll tell you what you have, you asshole.

I'll try it, you know,

I'll wait in this place Where the sun never shines

I'm a party clown.

I'm a professor at

I'm Arthur.

I'm Bruce.

I'm celebrating.

I'm considering a run for mayor.

I'm getting

I'm gonna be a comedian."

I'm gonna be a comedian."

I'm gonna be on tonight.

I'm gonna get a coffee.

I'm gonna lift them out of poverty,

I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball

I'm here to see Mr. Wayne.

I'm just an administrative assistant.

I'm just trying to make people laugh.

I'm nervous right now.

I'm not angry, Mom.

I'm not angry.

I'm not gonna hurt you.

I'm not out that long to smell it,

I'm not supposed to have a gun.

I'm not talking to you until you stop being angry!

I'm pretty sure this guy could use a doctor.

I'm pursuing a career in stand up comedy.

I'm right here.

I'm sorry I just showed up.

I'm sorry, Arthur.

I'm sorry, man. Like I said, I can't release these records,

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I have a...

I'm sorry. What's that?

I'm Stan I. Brooks, and here's what's happening.

I'm sure we'll see you again.

I'm telling you, she wanted my number.

I'm that kid whose father went out for a pack of cigarettes,

I'm the show Booker from Live with Murray Franklin.

I'm watching an old war movie!

I'm willing to do anything to pass."

I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate

I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate

I've been in this country for 50 years,

I've been the man of the house for as long as I can remember.

I've been up and down and over and out

I've been up and down and over and out

I've been using it as a journal,

I've been watching you forever.

If he knew how we were living,

If he saw this place, it would make him sick.

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

If it was me dying on the sidewalk,

If it was me dying on the sidewalk,

If you don't mind, I have to go take care of my mother.

If you don't return the sign,

If you just smile

If you put this guy on.

If you smile Through your fear and sorrow

If you're gonna be a clown, at least you could be

If you're happy and you know it

If you're happy and you know it

If you're happy and you know it

If you're happy and you know it

If you're happy and you know it

If you're happy and you know it

If you're happy and you know it

If you're happy and you know it

If you're happy and you know it

If you're happy and you know it

If you're happy and you know it

If your dancing doesn't do the trick,

In beautiful downtown Gotham City.

In one of several planned demonstrations

In other news,

In the white room With black curtains near the station

In your dark eyes

In your filthy apartment.

Including a massive rally outside

Increase in heating oil prices.

Into the children's hospital.

Inviting me on this show.

Is it just me,

Is it real,

Is something funny, asshole?

Is still going on, Billy."

Is that part of your new act, Arthur?

Is that right?

Is this Arthur?

Isn't it beautiful?

Isn't it bliss?

Isn't it bliss?

Isn't it rich?

Isn't it rich?

Isn't that what they say?

It doesn't seem fair,

It don't affect me except

It fucking crazy, innit?

It keeps spinnin' around

It keeps spinnin' around

It made my day.

It was his gun.

It was just a bunch of kids. I should have left it alone.

It was like nobody ever saw me.

It'll somehow make you funny.

It's 'cause I just had a big date.

It's 42 degrees at 10:30 on this Thursday, October 15th.

It's a fucking comedy.

It's a mess.

It's a prop. It's part of my act now.

It's almost as if our less fortunate residents

It's already a serious situation.

It's been a lifelong dream of mine.

It's day 18 of the garbage strike,

It's enough to make anyone crazy.

It's exit only.

It's for you.

It's funny,

It's good.

It's horrible.

It's horrific.

It's horrific.

It's just, you know, it's been a rough few weeks, Murray.

It's Live with Murray Franklin!

It's magic.

It's Monday and Wednesday, three to five.

It's nice to see these couples out at my show.

It's not a joke.

It's not funny.

It's okay, Gary.

It's okay. I'm a good guy.

It's one of the reasons why

It's part of my act.

It's so awful, Mommy.

It's so hard to just try and be happy all the time.

It's something I'll address

It's something that affects

It's starting to affect my business

It's starting to piss me off. Kenny's Music.

It's the police, ma'am.

It's Thomas Wayne, Mom.

It's time for bed.

Jefferson Street.

Jesus.

Jesus. She never told you?

Joining Murray, as always,

Just been working on my material.

Just don't forget to mail it.

Just get him his sign back.

Just go.

Just stop.

Just thinking of a joke.

Just when I stopped

Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse,

Keep the respirations above 15.

King of all Hear me call

Knock, knock.

Knock, knock.

Knock, knock.

Knock, knock.

Knock...

Last time, I asked you to bring your journal

Last time, I ended up taking it out on some people.

Let 'em sit there and talk until they get it over with.

Let go! Let go!

Let's go, let's go! Come on. Let's go!

Lift.

Like a clerk, you know.

Like all Wayne employees,

Listen, I'm trying to help you.

Look at us.

Look what happened, because of what you did. What it led to.

Look, I like you, Arthur.

Look, if you want to bring your mom in here to sign,

Look, pal, I'm not your father.

Looks like he's gained weight.

Looting and rioting

Make sure our stories line up.

Making my entrance again With my usual flair

Malnourished with multiple bruises across his body

Man, I'm sorry about that, my man.

Many of Gotham's residents as "clowns."

Many times I thought of cuttin' out But my heart won't buy it

Many wearing clown masks.

Masks off!

Maybe a little bit of warmth, maybe a hug, Dad!

Maybe for a bit, but not a whole segment.

Maybe my next wife.

Maybe the mailman's throwing them away.

Mayor Stokes has pleaded for cooler heads to prevail.

Me here at last on the ground

Me here at last on the ground

Me on the telly.

Me? I'm awful?

Merely just a punchline to a joke...

Mmm hmm.

Mmm?

Mom, is this real?

Mom, what?

Mom, why are these letters so important to you?

Mom?

Momma, time to wake up and go to bed.

Most guys, we look at sex like parking a car.

Move!

Mr. Fleck.

Murray asked me to give you a call and see if you're...

Murray Franklin.

Murray wants me on The Murray Franklin Show?

Murray.

My fault, I fear

My favorite one right now is

My life is nothing but a comedy.

My little girl is sleeping in the other room.

My mom died.

My mother would say,

My mother's name is Penny. Penny Fleck.

My name is Arthur.

My name is Shirley Woods.

My partner and I had a few more questions for you.

My, my

Near where the shooting took place.

Never even returned his sign.

Next stop, Bedford Park.

Next stop, Hunter's Point.

Next stop, Ninth Ave.

Nice outfit, pal.

Ninth Avenue.

No cursing. No off color material.

No idea.

No matter who they are or where they live.

No one has to know.

No one is there

No, don't sit. This'll be quick.

No, I don't believe in any of that.

No, I hadn't heard.

No, I think we've had enough of your jokes.

No, it says right here it was a mask.

No, man! Shit!

No, no, no. We just asked her some questions,

No, thank you.

No, they're not real.

No, you cannot joke about that.

No, you didn't.

No!

No!

No! Pal!

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No. No.

No. No.

No. Please.

Nobody thinks what it's like to be the other guy.
