Arthur, does it help to have someone to talk to?

My mother always tells me...

...to smile and put on a happy face.

She told me I had a purpose.

To bring laughter and joy to the world.

Hey! Hey! Stop them!

Is it just me...

...or is it getting crazier out there?

What?

[laughing]

[laughing]

What's so funny?

Freak!

[laughing]

Gotham's lost its way.

What kind of coward

would do something that cold-blooded?

Someone who hides behind a mask.

I used to think that

my life was a tragedy.

But now I realize...

...it's a comedy.
