The Village

Seeking Permission for a Dangerous Journey

Lucius Hunt My mother is unaware of reasons of my visit today. She did not give her consent or consult me in any form. The passing of little Daniel Nicholson, from illness, and other events have weighed on my thoughts. I ask permission to cross into the forbidden woods and travel to the nearest town. I will gather new medicines, and I will return. With regards to those we don't speak of, I am certain they will let me pass. Creatures can sense emotion and fear. They will see I am pure of intention and not afraid. The end.

Debate on Literature and Human Nature

Abbé du Coulmier It's not even a proper novel. It's nothing but an encyclopedia of perversions. Frankly, it even fails as an exercise in craft. The characters are wooden, the dialogue is inane. Not to mention the repetition of words like "nipple" and "pikestaff".

Marquis de Sade There I was taxed; it's true.

Abbé du Coulmier And such puny scope. Nothing but the worst in man's nature.

Marquis de Sade I write of the great, eternal truths that bind together all mankind. The whole world over, we eat, we shit, we fuck, we kill and we die.

Abbé du Coulmier But we also fall in love, we build cities, we compose symphonies, and we endure. Why not put that in your books as well?

Gladiator

Fear and Glory in the Arena

Commodus Maximus... Maximus... Maximus..." They call for you. The general who became a slave. The slave who became a gladiator. The gladiator who defied an emperor. Striking story! Now the people want to know how the story ends. Only a famous death will do. And what could be more glorious than to challenge the Emperor himself in the great arena?

Maximus You would fight me?

Commodus Why not? Do you think I am afraid?

Maximus I think you've been afraid all your life.

Commodus Unlike Maximus the invincible, who knows no fear?

Maximus I knew a man once who said, Death smiles at us all. All that man can do is smile back.

Commodus I wonder, did your friend smile at his own death?

Maximus You must know. He was your father.

Commodus You loved my father, I know. But so did I. That makes us brothers, doesn't it? Smile for me now, brother! Strap on his armour. Conceal the wound.

Power and Responsibility in Leadership

Gracchus For you guidance, Caesar, the Senate has prepared a series of protocols, to begin addressing the many problems in the city, beginning with basic sanitation for the Greek quarter, to combat the plague which is already springing up there. So, if Caesar...

Commodus Shh. Don't you see, Gracchus? That's the very problem, isn't it? My father spent all his time at study, at books and learning and philosophy. He spent his twilight hours reading scrolls from the Senate. And all the while, the people were forgotten.

Gracchus But the Senate is the people, sire. Chosen from among the people, to speak for the people.

Commodus I doubt if any of the people eat so well as you do, Gracchus. Or have such splendid mistresses, Gaius. I think I understand my own people.

Gracchus Then perhaps Caesar will be so good as to teach us … out of his own, extensive experience.

Commodus I call it love. I am their father, the people are my children. I shall hold them to my bosom and embrace them tightly –

Gracchus Have you ever embraced someone dying of plague, sire?

Commodus No. But if you interrupt me again, I assure you that you shall.

Confronting Inner Fears and Identity

Freddie Quell SHUT THE FUCK UP!

Lancaster Dodd It's not you.

Freddie Quell SHUT. THE FUCK. UP!

Lancaster Dodd It's not you. You are asleep. Your spirit was free. Moving from body, to the next body. Free. Free for a moment. Then it was captured by an invader force, bent on turning you to the darkest way, you've been implanted with a push-pull mechanism that keeps you fearful of authority and destructive. We are in the middle of a battle that's a trillion years in the making and it's bigger than the both of us!

Freddie Quell You're making this shit up! You make this shit up! You don't know what you're talking about!

Lancaster Dodd I don't know what I'm talking about?

Joker: Folie à Deux

Courtroom Testimony Begins in Joker Sequel

Judge Herman Rothwax Mr. Dent. You may call your next witness.

Mr. Dent The state calls Gary Puddles. Bailiff, will you please Gary Puddles to the stand?

Arthur Fleck Gary. Go get em.

[''To Gary walking ahead to stand'']

Bailiff Raise your right hand. Do you solemnly swear that the testimony you're about to give is the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help you God?

[''Hands out bible and Gary places hand on it'']

Gary Puddles I do.

Mr. Dent Good morning, Mr. Puddles. Thank you for being here. The person who you saw stab Randall Kleinmanhoffer to death, are they in the courtroom today?

Gary Puddles Yes.

Mr. Dent Can you point him out here to all of us? And... describe his clothing?

Gary Puddles He's sitting right here at this table. Wearing a red suit and clown make-up.

[''Points to Arthur Fleck'']

Mr. Dent May the record reflect the identification of the accused Your Honor?

Judge Herman Rothwax Yes, it will.

Mr. Dent Nothing further, Your Honor.

Judge Herman Rothwax Your witness, Mr. Fleck.

Arthur Fleck Mr. Puddles. Gary Puddles? Tell me, sir, is that your God-given name?

[''Gets up and starts walking'']

Gary Puddles Yes.

Arthur Fleck Really? Really? Your last name is Puddles? Why, it sounds like a... a joke!

[''Chortles'']

Gary Puddles Well, it's not.

Arthur Fleck You expect us to believe that your last name is Puddles? Puddles?!

Judge Herman Rothwax Mr. Fleck. Where is this going? As I said, I'm not going to let you turn my courtroom into a circus.

Arthur Fleck Okay. But with all due respect, Your Honor, don't you think it's a little late for that?

Judge Herman Rothwax Don't try my patience.

Arthur Fleck Okay, okay. Mr. Puddles, earlier this afternoon you testified that you saw me stab Mr. Kliman Manhoff in the neck a couple of times, correct?

Gary Puddles Kleimanhoffer. Yes, I saw you.

Arthur Fleck And what else did you see that day?

Gary Puddles You stabbing him in the eye, and bashing his head into the wall, many, many times.

Arthur Fleck Yes, but Randall was a bit of a bully, wasn't he?

Gary Puddles He didn't deserve to die.

Arthur Fleck I don't know. Never mind. Gary, did you catch my act on the Murray Franklin Show later that night?

Gary Puddles No, I didn't.

Arthur Fleck No? May I remind you that you are under oath?

Gary Puddles I was locked up at the police station. In an interview room. Cause they thought you might come and kill me. I was the only witness. They kept me there all night.

Arthur Fleck Isn't that convenient, Mr. Puddles? That you didn't see the show, you didn't see anything I had to say, I can't believe it!

[''Pinches and pulls out jacket'']

Judge Herman Rothwax Mr. Fleck.

Arthur Fleck Okay. When you were in my mama's apartment, God rest her soul, when as you say you saw me bash Mr. Klannonmen- whatever's- head into the wall, many, many times, did I seem crazy to you? Did I seem like a different person? Or was I the same old Joker that I always been?

[''Walks up to Gary and rest arms on witness box'']

Gary Puddles Arthur, don't do this to your self, it isn't you.

Arthur Fleck It isn't me? So you don't think this is me? Well, maybe... maybe... you don't know who I was really was.

Gary Puddles I never saw that side of you.

Arthur Fleck Well, maybe you weren't looking. Maybe no one was. Because nobody knew I existed! But look around, look at all these people! Everyone outside! These cameras! Who do you think they see, Mr. Puddles?!

[''Turns around''; ''Gestures to spectators'']

Gary Puddles Joker.

Arthur Fleck Oh, sweet child, what you have proven here today, is that you are no different that any of those people that underestimated me. From Franklin Murray to those goddamn fat, stupid guards at Arkham. They think that they can treat me like trash. But I will no longer allow you, or you, or you, or any of you to keep me down. I am free!

[''Turns to Gary and walks to him''; ''Scene cuts to Arkham guard Jackie watching on TV''; ''Raises both fists in air''; ''Spectators applaud and cheer'']

Gary Puddles Why are you doing this to me, Arthur?

Arthur Fleck What? Gary, I like you! I told you I wouldn't hurt and I didn't!

Gary Puddles Not hurt me? I couldn't go back to work. I still can't sleep and I'm scared all the time. I never used to be scared. I'm scared right now, here. With you in front of me. I couldn't do anything that day. I felt so small. I was reminded how powerless I really am.

Arthur Fleck You got a flair for the dramatic. You are really tugging at my heart strings, little Gary. No more questions, Your Honor.

Gary Puddles Do you know what that feels like, Arthur?

Arthur Fleck Fuck!

Gary Puddles You were the only one at work who never made fun of me! You were the only one that was nice to me!

Arthur Fleck I said, no more questions, Your Honor!

Judge Herman Rothwax Very well, Mr. Puddles. The court thanks you for your testimony. Please step down, you're excused.

A Father's Unwavering Decision on Leadership

Marcus Aurelius Are you ready to do your duty for Rome?

Commodus Yes, father.

Marcus Aurelius You will not be emperor.

Commodus Which wiser, older man is to take my place?

Marcus Aurelius My powers will pass to Maximus, to hold in trust until the Senate is ready to rule once more. Rome is to be a republic again.

Commodus Maximus.

Marcus Aurelius My decision disappoints you?

Commodus You wrote to me once, listing the four chief virtues: wisdom, justice, fortitude and temperance. As I read the list, I knew I had none of them. But I have other virtues, father. Ambition. That can be a virtue when it drives us to excel. Resourcefulness. Courage. Perhaps not on the battlefield, but … there are many forms of courage. Devotion, to my family and to you. But none of my virtues were on your list. Even then it was as if you didn't want me for your son.

[choking up]

Marcus Aurelius Oh, Commodus. You go too far.

Commodus I search the faces of the gods … for ways to please you, to make you proud. One kind word, one full hug … where you pressed me to your chest and held me tight … would have been like the sun on my heart for a thousand years. What is it in me that you hate so much?

Marcus Aurelius Shh, Commodus.

Commodus All I've ever wanted was to live up to you, Caesar, father.

Marcus Aurelius Commodus, your faults as a son is my failure as a father. Come.
