Joker / Arthur Fleck

I used to think that my life was a tragedy, but now I realize, it's a fucking comedy.

I just hope my death make more cents than my life.

In Arthur's Jokebook

The worst part of having a mental illness is people expect you to behave as if you don't.

Mental Disorders

Comedy is subjective, Murray, isn't that what they say? All of you, the system that knows so much: you decide what's right or wrong the same way you decide what's funny or not.

For my whole life, I didn't know if I even really existed. But I do, and people are starting to notice.

Confession

She always tells me to smile and put on a happy face. She says I was put here to spread joy and laughter.

— Were you following me today?
— Yeah.
— I thought that was you. I was hoping you'd come in and rob the place.
— I have a gun. I could come by tomorrow?
— You're so funny, Arthur.

Ugh, why is everybody so upset about these guys? If it was me dying on the sidewalk you'd walk right over me! I pass you everyday and you don't notice me! But these guys? Well because Thomas Wayne would cry about them on TV?

Joker (2019)

— Okay, so that's it? You're crazy, that's your defence for killing three young men?
— No. They couldn't carry a tune to save their lives.

— Murray, one small thing?
— Yeah?
— When you bring me out, can you introduce me as Joker?

Oh come on, Murray. Do I look like the kind of clown that could start a movement? I killed those guys because they were awful. Everybody is awful these days. It's enough to make everyone crazy.

You don't listen, do you? I don't think you ever really hear me. You just ask the same questions every week. "How's your job?" "Are you having any negative thoughts?" All I have are negative thoughts.
