You're spending - what? Twenty, thirty dollars a week on cigarettes?

Forty.

Fifty-three.


Fifty-three dollars. Tell me, would you pay someone that much money every week to kill you? Because thatโ€™s what youโ€™re doing now, by paying for the so-called privilege to smoke!

We all gotta go sometime...

Itโ€™s that kind of mentality that allows this cancer-producing industry to thrive! Of course weโ€™re all going to die someday, but do we have to pay for it? Do we have to actually throw hard-earned dollars on a counter and say "Please, please, Mister Merchant of Death, sir; please sell me something that will give me bad breath, stink up my clothes, and fry my lungs"?

It's not that easy to quit...

[Gestures to Dante] Of course it's not; not when you have people like this mindless cretin so happy and willing to sell you nails for your coffin!

Hey, now wait a sec...

Now he's going to launch into his rap about how he's just doing his job; following orders. Friends, let me tell you about another bunch of hate mongers that were just following orders: they were called Nazis! And they practically wiped a nation of people from the Earth...just like cigarettes are doing now! Cigarette smoking is the new Holocaust, and those that partake in the practice of smoking or sell the wares that promote it are the Nazis of the nineties! He doesn't care how many people die from it! He smiles as you pay for your cancer sticks and says, "Have a nice day."

I think you'd better leave now.

You want me to leave? Why? Because somebody's telling it like it is? Somebody's giving these fine people a wake-up call?!

You're loitering in here, and causing a disturbance.

You're the disturbance, pal! And here - [slaps a dollar on the counter] - I'm buying some...what's this?...Chewlie's Gum. There. I'm no longer loitering. I'm a customer, a customer engaged in a discussion with other customers.

Yeah, now shut up so he can speak!

Oh, he's scared now! He sees the threat we present! He smells the changes coming, and the loss of sales when the nonsmokers finally demand satisfaction. We demand the right to breathe cleaner air!

Yeah!

We'd rather chew our gum than embrace slow death! Let's abolish this heinous practice of sucking poison, and if it means ruffling the feathers of a convenience store idiot, then so be it!

That's it, everybody out.

We're not moving! We have a right, a constitutional right, to assemble and be heard!

Yeah, but not in here.

What better place than this? To stamp it out, you gotta start at the source!

Like I'm responsible for all the smokers!

The ones in this town, yes! You encourage their growth, their habit. You're the source in this area, and we're going to shut you down for good! For good, cancer-merchant!

[The small crowd begins to chant and jeer in Dante's face.]

Cancer merchant!
Cancer merchant!
Cancer merchant!


[Veronica enters and surveys the mess. The crowd throws cigarettes at Dante, pelting him in the face. Suddenly, a loud blast is heard, and white powder explodes over the throng. Everyone turns to face Veronica as she stands in one of the freezer cases, holding a fire extinguisher.]

Who's leading this mob?

[The crowd looks among themselves. Someone points to the activist.]

That guy.

[The activist carries his briefcase surreptitiously toward the door.]

Freeze. [points fire extinguisher at the activist] Let's see some credentials.

[He reluctantly pulls out a business card and hands it to her.]

You're a Chewlie's Gum representative?

[He nods.]

And you're stirring up all this antismoking sentiment to what? Sell more gum?

[He nods again.]

Get out of here. [she turns to the crowd] And you people: Don't you have jobs to go to? Get out of here and go commute.

[The crowd sheepishly exits, one by one, offering apologetic glances. Dante tries to regain his composure. Veronica watches the crowd disperse, disgusted.]

You ought to be ashamed of yourselves. Easily led automatons. Try thinking for yourselves before you pelt an innocent man with cigarettes!

[Veronica sets the fire extinguisher down next to Dante. Dante is sitting on the floor, head in his folded arms.]

It looked like Tiananmen Square in here for a second.

[As the last of the crowd shuffles out, one of the ex-mobbers approaches the counter, embarrassed.]

Pack of reds.

You have got to be kidding me.

[An indecisive customer holds up two movies] Are either of these any good?

[Randal ignores her and continues reading the newspaper]

Sir!

What.

Are either of these any good?

I don't watch movies.

Well, have you heard anything about either of them?

No.

You've never heard anybody say anything about either movie?

I find it's best to stay out of other people's affairs.

[Puts movies down and hesitates, before picking them back up] Well, how about these two movies?

They suck.

I just held up the same two movies. You're not even paying attention.

No, I wasn't.

I don't think your manager would appreciate -

I don't appreciate your ruse, ma'am.

I beg your pardon!

Your ruse. Your cunning attempt to trick me.

I only pointed out that you weren't paying any attention to what I was saying.

And I hope it feels good.

You hope what feels good?

I hope it feels so good to be right. There's nothing more exhilarating than pointing out the shortcomings of others, is there?

[The indecisive customer wears a face that belies utter disbelief in the audacity of this most lackadaisical video clerk. The unmoving newspaper illustrates the total disinterest of the news-hungry Randal. The indecisive customer shakes her head in disgust and throws the movies back onto the wall.]

Well this is the last time I ever rent here...

asking individuals that question is stupid anyway

if 99.9999% of people loved their life and .0001% didn't, then life isnt worth it

nonexistence is perfect so for you to take the proactivity to deny that perfection and bring upon an existence, that existence needs to also be perfect. And any universe that even allows suffering as a possibility/concept isn't perfect.

But, like, couldn't the .0001% just kill themselves and we could go on living a blessed life?
why should they have to

why even bring in those .0001% when everyone was nonexisting in perfection

If you could blow up the world with a flip of a switch, would you do it?
not if it was just the world
for all you know we're the first and only intelligent life fam

religious people always say stuff in a quasi-scientific way like "earth is perfect for life, one thing different about how we're aligned with the sun or whatever and earth couldn't support anything. How do we get that lucky without a god?"

and it's literally backwards thinking, we have all of this biology and life here because the earth is perfect. And if you look at how specific and perfect everything has to be before life can even start to form, it wouldn't be some big shock if we're the beginning and the end

I'd rather start again a million miles away as someone else. No point in starting over if you just make the same mistakes.
You're under no obligation to continue as yourself, because yourself doesn't exist as anything more than a concept

"Grey Delisle isn't Azula"

"Mako isn't Aku"

"Tom Kenny isn't Spongebob"

man verb is dumb
of course they're none of those characters

they're their voices

that's IT

even regular actors aren't their characters, but not only do they have the voice, they have their physical likeness as well, making them closer to their characters than any voice actor could be

not complicated
this is a stupid mindset

you can have an identifying connection with something without being literally them

An actor is their character in everything but only the most pedantic definitions

I'm not criticizing the four tropes I listed, I'm saying the Joker uses them all at face value (without any inkling of a subversion or twist) and uses them badly.
I mean you can make any villain look stupid if you break them down like that.

Two-Face: Wow it's just a former good man suffering from split personalities
Gus Fring: Wow it's just a ruthless drug kingpin
Anton Chigurh: Wow it's just a psychopathic hitman
But that's not as far as you can break them down. You would be lying by omission if you described their characters like that. Let's look at Gus and Anton specifically:

Gus Fring: a man who entered the drug business solely to get revenge on those who massacred his lover, but quickly became the monster he had to become to stay afloat in that world. As a contrast to Walter who did it all for himself, Gus literally did it for his (only) family.

Anton Chigurh: A force of nature whose role in the story goes beyond basic antagonism and more resembles an inevitable reckoning. Barely a character at all, actually, beyond his physical traits - he's literally an agent of fate. When he violates his purpose near the end of the film and kills Carla Jean out of his own volition, the cosmos punish him for it and take him out of commission.

Meanwhile, the Joker is every bit as 2-D as I said. You just admitted it too, by trying to break down other characters instead of doing what I just did and defending your own.

woah man, crazy criminal who would rather cause chaos than profit
I'd say his obsession with Batman and challenging him is a more defining attribute of most Jokers than the anarchist stuff, which is mainly from the Nolan Joker.
so very very unique

you can only "be" the joker if you physically play the part

your voice isn't enough
No. Just no. Mark Hamill has portrayed the Joker more times than any other actor, and probably understands him on a level that no other living person does.

I know you're a Ledger fanboy, but his version of the Joker, while absolutely praiseworthy, is an incredibly isolated portrayal that, simply put, doesn't fit who the Joker really is.

It's the equivalent of a less extreme Superman: Red Son.
A neat version of the character, but not the real character.
b-but you have to follow my arbitrary rule
