My name's Arthur... Fleck. Arthur Fleck. I'm thirty five years old, and I... I still live with my mother. She's getting old. I take good care of her, though. I dunno if you could tell, but I work as a party clown. My mother always told me to smile and put on a happy face; She said I was put here to spread joy and laughter. I'm not sure how good a job I'm doing, but I am trying. Sometimes I just wish people could see me, though. Like, the real me. I wanna be the funny guy, not just the joke.
