Maryanne Stewart quotes from Joker: Folie à Deux (2024)

Maryanne Stewart

Jesus Christ, you couldn't get him an umbrella? [Pulls down Arthur to bench] Here, Arthur. [Licks thumb and dabs his face] Today we're meeting with Dr. Beatty. Remember her? She's gonna be videotaping you this time, so we can show it at your competency hearing next week. And if they find you competent, and they will, they always do, then we're going to trial. You need to be in an actual hospital with actual doctors. Not this Department of Corrections bullshit with these thugs. [Motions head to laughing officers down hallway] Dr. Beatty thinks that everything that happened to you in your childhood, it caused a split, this fragmentation in you, to help you cope with the pain. She believes you have another person living inside of you. And it was this other person who committed those crimes. Do you understand what that means, Arthur?

She's just a social worker. I don't think she's even qualified. You know, you're making him out to be a **** idiot in there. [Walks up to Maryanne] He's never gonna get out if you keep this shit up. Ask her why she has me sitting so far away from him.

Maryanne Stewart

Let's not do this here. Please?

Do you see all those people out front? Who do you think they're here for? How many t-shirts do you think Arthur Fleck is on? How many signs? It's the Trial of the Century and she doesn't even know who her own client is.

Maryanne Stewart

What do you mean by that? Can't you see how sick he is? How much help he needs? [Attempts to walk past]

He's not sick! He's perfect!

Maryanne Stewart

You don't really think he's gonna just walk out of here, do you? [Walks away]

Yeah, he's gonna walk right out of here. With me by his side!

And then what?

And then we're gonna build a mountain.

A what?

From a little hill. [Walks away]

What does that even mean? Are you going to get married?
