Joker: Folie à Deux

"[Singing] Sing Hallelujah, come on, be happy."

"[Singing to Harleen in a fantasy musical theatre production, kneeling on stage clutching abdomen] When... when I build that mountain, as I will someday, and the Lord sends Gabriel to take me away, I want a fine son to take my place, [scene cuts to prison hallway with his attacker watching while laughing] Ill leave a son in my heaven on Earth. With the good Lords... [Arthur falls against wall] ...grace."

"[Sitting before courtroom jury] I wanted to come out here as Joker. I was gonna go on an... a angry rant. And blame all of you, and everyone, for this fucking miserable life. But it wouldnt matter anymore, because I cant do this anymore. Cause I cant be who you want me to be. It was all just a fantasy. There is no Joker. Its just me. I killed 6 people. I wish I didnt but I did. Nobody knows, but I also killed my mother. I put a pillow over her face and smothered her to death. I just wanna... I just wanna blow it all up, and start a new life. [Harleen gets up and walks out with several spectators following] Knock knock. Whos there? Arthur Fleck. Arthur Fleck who?"

"[To Joker bringing up and sitting on a stool chair before the jury] A word of caution. This is not a comedy club."

"[To courtroom spectators] I realize theres a lot going on. But this is still a court if law. And and all outbursts will not be tolerated. And that applies to everyone in the courtroom."

"[Walks up to Arthur in police station on a rainy day] Jesus Christ, you couldnt get him an umbrella? [Pulls down Arthur to bench] Here, Arthur. [Licks thumb and dabs his face] Today were meeting with Dr. Beatty. Remember her? Shes gonna be videotaping you this time, so we can show it at your competency hearing next week. And if they find you competent, and they will, they always do, then were going to trial. You need to be in an actual hospital with actual doctors. Not this Department of Corrections bullshit with these thugs. [Motions head to laughing officers down hallway] Dr. Beatty thinks that everything that happened to you in your childhood, it caused a split, this fragmentation in you, to help you cope with the pain. She believes you have another person living inside of you. And it was this other person who committed those crimes. Do you understand what that means, Arthur?"
