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.

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.

Oh, my God. I hated school as a kid. But my mother would always say, "You should enjoy it. One day, you'll have to work for a living." "No, I won't, Ma. I'm gonna be a comedian."

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.

That's better. Bruce! Bruce! Get away from that man. It's okay. I'm a good guy. What are you doing? Who are you? I'm here to see Mr. Wayne. Well, you shouldn't be speaking to his son. Why did you give him these flowers? No, they're not real. It's magic. I was just trying to make him smile. Well, it's not funny, is it? Do I need to call the police? No. Please. My mother's name is Penny. Penny Fleck. She used to work here years ago. Can you please tell Mr. Wayne I need to see him? You are her son. Yeah. Did you know her? I know about the two of them. She told me everything. There's nothing to know. There is no "them." Your mother was delusional. She was a sick woman. Don't say that. Just go. Mmm? Before you make a fool of yourself. Thomas Wayne is my father.

What happened? - Who are you? - I'm her son. - What happened? - You can probably help us out inside. We don't know what happened yet. - Hop in the back of the ambulance. - Step. One more. We got one more lift. I'm getting a little resistance here, Michael.
