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?"

Okay, we got a big show tonight. Stay tuned. We'll be right back. That was great, Arthur. Thank you. I mean, I loved hearing what you had to say. It made my day. Thanks, Murray. You see all this, the lights, the show, the audience, all that stuff? I'd give it all up in a heartbeat to have a kid like you.

My mother would 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."

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.

Right. We heard. That's why we came by. We figured, you know, you could use some cheering up. Aw, that's sweet. But, no, I feel good. Yeah, I stopped taking my medication. I feel a lot better now.

Good to see you, Ethan. You're looking great, Ethan. Thank you very much. You're looking good yourself. Ah, can't complain. Hey, Murray. Thanks so much for having...

Your name's Arthur, right? You live down the hall. I really need you to leave. My little girl is sleeping in the other room. Please.

You know how you used to tell me that my laugh was a condition?
