Batman Year Two: Part 7 "Story Time"

========In Arkham Asylum : Therapy Division========

Joker: Y’know Harley...I feel like I can relate to you. I know we don’t see each other often, but I feel like I know you so much. Get me?

Harley: Of course.

Joker: I feel like I could tell you some of my secrets.

Harley: Really?

Joker: That is if I can trust you.

Harley: Of course you can trust me!

Joker: That’s a hard argument to beat...alright...I’ll tell you *ahahahaha* about my childhood.

Harley: An area where trama usually stems from…

Joker: Anyway...my old man favored the bottle you see. Anytime I would take the wrong step *POW*! Anytime I say the wrong thing *THWOP*!

Harley: Oh my god...I’m so sorry.

Joker: Though, there was only one time when I ever saw him happy…

Harley: And what was that?

Joker: The time he took me to the circus...I had never seen him laugh...thought he’d bust a gut *hahahaha*. So, the next day I put on his best sunday pants and said look at me dad! I dropped the pants, tripped, and fell face first on the ground!

Joker and Harley: *hahahahaha*

Joker: He laughed so hard! But when he discovered I ripped the crotch out... he punched me in the nose. Woke up a day later in the hospital.

Harley: Oh dear…

Joker: In that moment I decided that if I could make a man like that laugh...I could bring joy to everyone’s life. So, here I am.

Harley: Thank you for sharing with me...Mr. J.
