BANK MANAGER - You have any idea who you're stealing from? You and your friends are dead.
The thug isn't bothered
BANK MANAGER (Cont'd) - You idiot. What makes you think the guy who hired you isn't going to kill you, too?
The Thug STOPS. Crouches over him. In the distance: SIRENS.
GENTLE VOICE - Call it a hunch.
The man PULLS off his MASK. The Bank Manager GASPS, horrified at the face staring back at him.
GENTLE VOICE (Cont'd) - It's rude to stare.
Good times. Good times.
I still have them saved on my desktop.
the bank managers lines are pretty spot on...but wouldnt you think they would INTENTIONALLY change Jokers lines...in case of a leak...like what happened? i mean they called him the gentle voice for cryin out loudIt's been a long time since this thread has been active. So much has changed since we first stumbled across these sides.
The sides were not 100% real:
But the outline is definitely there.
The Joker's response in the prologue can't possibly make him more mysterious- he gives away something of his background, whilst in the original, he gives away nothing at all.Regwec I disagree. I think that the original content (the exchange) is far more cliche than in the prologue. Besides the prologue response the Joker gives makes his character even more mysterious to the audience.
They were real. They just changed a bit between then and now.The sides were not 100% real.
I'm missing a few scans from the Wiki. Does anyone have them?Good times. Good times.

i wonder if the line made its way into a different scene. It's very all-purpose. maybe they even cribbed it from another scene because they didn;t want the sides to be too revealing (the "stranger" line could imply that TDK was an origin movie, if we knew it back when the sides appeared)
Do we need The Joker to tell us he has had a troubling past? The guy is robbing bank, handing live grenades to civilians, murdering his colleagues, and wearing clown makeup, and has disfiguring facial scars. I know audiences are generally considered to be pretty stupid, but I doubt many people would imagine that the fellow was pulling this heist between a day in his cushy and highly paid job before going home to his adoring wife and kids.The suggestion of a tragic back story for the Joker is far more interesting than a guy in facepaint saying "it's rude to stare".
No, it's just a statement that there is a reason that The Joker is where he is. The Killing Joke is not referenced at all, unless you take it as the only possible background for the character.It's an oblique nod to the Killing Joke,
Yeah, it's a joke that's every bit as good as one of Mr Freeze's from Batman and Robin.and the line gives Ledger space to play with that final word "stranger". I love it.
