Here. Don't get all worked up. Eat. You need to eat. You need to eat. Look how skinny you are.

I know. I know. Why is she a senior in the intro? I didn't buy it either. So, she comes to me during my office hours.

Arthur, you're on seven different medications. Surely, they must be doing something.

And finally, tonight, just when you thought it couldn't get any worse... ...authorities are saying the city is under siege by scores of rats. And not just any rats, but super rats, who are hard to kill. He must not be getting my letters. Yeah. It's Thomas Wayne, Mom. He's a busy man. Please. I worked for that family for years. The least he could do is write back.

I read it was a guy in full makeup. No, it says right here it was a mask. Either way, I think it's good for business. They got clowns on the front of every newspaper. Big man, what's the good word? Hey.

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

Like all Wayne employees, past and present, they're family. Did you hear that? I told you, we're family. There now seems to be a groundswell of anti-rich sentiment in the city. It's almost as if our less fortunate residents are taking the side of the killer. Yes, and it's a shame. It's one of the reasons why I'm considering a run for mayor. Gotham's lost its way. What about the eyewitness report of the suspect being a man in a clown mask? Well, it makes total sense to me. What kind of coward would do something that cold-blooded? Someone who hides behind a mask. Someone who is envious of those more fortunate than themselves, yet they're too scared to show their own face. And until those kind of people change for the better, those of us who have made something of our lives will always look at those who haven't as nothing but clowns.
