While entertaining at a children's hospital, the gun fell out of his pocket. Joker is performing for a ward full of sick children, wearing an oversized white lab coat over his "Mr. Jingles" clown costume. A few nurses and doctors watch as well. His white clown face, mouth outlined in black and filled in with red, his green wig frizzy and worn out. Joker plays a UKULELE along with the song. If you're happy and you know it, stomp your feet. Joker and the kids stomp and sing along. If you're happy and you know it and you really want to show it, if you're happy and you know it stomp your feet. As the song winds down, the KIDS and NURSES clap. Joker takes an exaggerated and ridiculous bow And as he does, his 38 REVOLVER slips out of his pants and slides across the floor. Everyone stops. Looks at the gun on the floor.
He’s still in his clown garb after having been fired for bringing a gun to a children’s hospital – one given to him by a co-worker – when three rich Wall Street types board. One of the jerks sings “Send in the Clowns” at him and they proceed to beat him up. Suddenly, the gun goes off and you see Arthur has shot one in self-defense, and then he shoots the other two.
Arthur Fleck (Joker) is an aspiring stand-up comic. He tries to be funny, but he doesn’t succeed. He has mental health issues, part of which involves uncontrollable laughter. Times are tough and, due to his issues and occupation, Arthur has an even worse time than most. Over time these issues bear down on him, shaping his actions, making him ultimately take on the persona he is more known as...Joker.
