Hello, Hoyt. Gary said you wanted to see me. How's the comedy career? Are you a famous stand-up yet? Not quite. Just been working on my material. No, don't sit. This'll be quick. Look, I like you, Arthur. You know, a lot of the guys, they think you're a freak, but I like you.

I'm right here. Excuse me, sir. Does your mother take any medications? - No. - Excuse me, - I couldn't hear you. - No. Sir, when was the last time you spoke to her? I don't know. Mr. Fleck. Sorry to bother you. I'm Detective Garrity. This is my partner, Detective Burke. We had a few questions for you, but you weren't home, so we spoke with your mother. Oh. What did you say to her? Did you do this? What? No. No, no, no. We just asked her some questions, and she got hysterical. Hyperventilating, collapsed and hit her head pretty hard. Yeah. The doctor said she had a stroke. We're sorry to hear about that. But, like I said, I still have some questions for you. They're about the subway killings that happened last week. You've heard about them, right? Yeah. It's horrible. Right. So, we spoke with your boss over at Haha's. He said you were fired for bringing a gun into the children's hospital. - Is that true, Mr. Fleck? - It was a prop. It's part of my act. I'm a party clown. All right. So, why were you fired? They said I wasn't funny enough. Can you imagine that? If you don't mind, I have to go take care of my mother. Your boss also gave us one of your cards. This condition of yours, the laughing, is it real, or some sort of clown thing? - A clown thing? - Yeah. I mean, is it part of your act? What do you think? It's exit only.

One more time for Sam Morril, y'all. All right, now, this next comic describes himself as a lifelong Gotham resident who from a young age was always told that his purpose in life was to bring laughter and joy into this cold, dark world. Um... Okay. Please help me welcome Arthur Fleck, y'all. Arthur Fleck.

So, the other night, I told my youngest son Billy, you know, the new one, the not-so-bright one. I told him, "The garbage strike is still going on, Billy." And he says, and I'm not kidding, Billy says, "So, where are we gonna get all our garbage from?"

And finally, in a world where everyone thinks they could do my job, we got this video tape from Pogo's Comedy Club, right here in Gotham. Here's a guy who thinks if you just keep laughing, it'll somehow make you funny. Check out this joker.

Arthur, Hoyt wants to see you in his office. Hey, Gary. You know what I've always wondered? No idea. Do you people call it miniature golf or is it just golf to you?
