This is one of joker's (from Batman) dialogues. And my favorite!
"So... I see you received the free ticket I sent you. I'm glad.
I did so want you to be here. You see it doesn't matter if you catch
me and send me back to the asylum... Gordon's been driven mad. I've
proved my point. I've demonstrated there's no difference between me
and everyone else! All it takes is one bad day to reduce the sanest
man alive to lunacy. That's how far the world is from where I am. Just
one bad day. You had a bad day once, am I right? I know I am. I can
tell. You had a bad day and everything changed. Why else would you
dress up as a flying rat? You had a bad day, and it drove you as crazy
as everybody else... Only you won't admit it! You have to keep
pretending that life makes sense, that there's some point to all this
struggling! God you make me want to puke. I mean, what is it with you?
What made you what you are? Girlfriend killed by the mob, maybe?
Brother carved up by some mugger? Something like that, I bet.
Something like that... Something like that hapened to me, you know.
I... I'm not exactly sure what it was. Sometimes I remember it one
way, sometimes another... If I'm going to have a past, I prefer it to
be multiple choice! Ha ha ha! But my point is... My point is, I went
crazy. When I saw what a black, awful joke the world was, I went crazy
as a coot! I admit it! Why can't you? I mean, you're not
unintelligent! You must see the reality of the situation. Do you know
how many times we've come close to world war three over a flock of
geese on a computer screen? Do you know what triggered the last world
war? An argument over how many telegraph poles Germany owed it's war
dept creditors! Telegraph poles! Ha ha ha ha HA! It's all a joke!
Everything anybody ever valued or struggled for... it's all a
monstrous, demented gag! So why can't you see the funny side? Why
aren't you laughing?" - Batman: The Killing Joke
