50's Robin : A famous line from Paliacci, the opera about a sad clown.

50's Joker : Well?
50's Henchman : [applauding] Oh, yeah, that was good!
50's Henchman : All right! Yeah!
50's Joker : Thank you. You're too kind.
[taking the security guard's keyring]
50's Joker : Truth be told, strings never were my section. I'm much better on the keys.
