Joker: knock nock
Murray: Who’s there?
Joker: A) ________________________________________________________
Woman: Oh no no no. You cannot joke about that.
Murray : yeah, that’s not funny, Arthur. That’s not the kind of humour we do on the show.
Joker: okay. I’m s.. yeah. I’m sorry. It’s just, you know, It’s been a rough few weeks Murray ever
since I’ve… killed those three Wall Street guys.
Okay, I’m waiting for the punchline.
Joker: B)___________________________________________
Murray: You’re serious, aren’t you? You’re telling us you killed those three young men on the
subway?
Joker: Hm-hmm.
Murray: And why should we believe you?
Joker: C)________________________________________________________________
Murray: Let me get this straight. You think that killing those guys is funny?
Joker: I do. And I’m tired of pretending it’s not. Comedy is subjective, Murray. Isn’t it what they
say? All of you… the system that knows so much… you decide what’s right or wrong? The same
way that you decide what’s funny, or not.
Murray: Okay, I think I might understand that you… did this to start a movement? To become a
symbol?
Joker: -D)________________________________________________________
Murray: Okay, so that’s it. You’re crazy. That’s your defence for killing three young men?
Joker: Nah. They couldn’t carry a tune to save their lives.
Joker: E) ____________________________________________________
Murray: You have a problem with Thomas Wayne too?
Joker: Yes, I do. Have you seen what it’s like out there, Murray? Do you ever actually leave the
studio? Everybody just yells and screams at each other. Nobody’s civil anymore! Nobody thinks
what it’s like to be the other guy! You think men like Thomas Wayne ever think what it’s like to be
someone like me? To be somebody but themselves? They don’t. They think that we’ll just sit there
and take it like good little boys. That we won’t werewolf and go wild!
Murray: You finished? I mean, it’s so much self-pity, Arthur. You sound like you’re making excuses
for killing those young men! Not everybody, and I’ll tell you this, not everyone is awful.
Joker: You’re awful, Murray.
Murray: Me? I’m awful? Oh yeah, how am I awful?
Joker: F) _____________________________________________________
Murray: You don’t know the first thing about me, pal. Look what happened because of what you
did, what it led to. There are riots out there. Two policemen are in critical condition, and you’re
laughing, you’re laughing. Someone was killed today because of what you did.
Joker: I know! How about another joke, Murray?
Murray: G)__________________________________________________________
Joker: What do you get…
Murray: I don’t think so.
Joker: H)_________________________________________________________
Murray: Call the police, Gene, call the police.
Joker: I’ll tell you what you get! You get what you fucking deserve!
Joker: Goodnight. And always remember: That’s
*****************************************************************************
1. I ain’t got nothing left to lose. Nothing can hurt me anymore. My life is nothing but a
comedy.
2.…when you cross a mentally ill loner with a society that abandons him and treats him like
trash!?
3. 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
anyone crazy.
4. It’s the police ma’am. Your son ‘s been hit by a drunk driver. He's dead.
5. Playing my video. Inviting me on the show. You just wanted to make fun of me. You’re
just like the rest of them!
6. No, I think we’ve had enough of your jokes
7. Oh, 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 every day and you don’t notice me but these guys,
what, because Thomas Wayne went and cried about them on TV?
8. There is no punchline. It’s not a joke.
