->''"You see Doctor Wen in there? He's explaining to the family that something went wrong, and the patient died. He's gonna tell them what happened. He's gonna say he's sorry. And then he's going back to work. You think anybody else in that room is going back to work today? That is why we distance ourselves. That is why we make jokes. We don't do it because it's funny. We do it so we can get by. And because sometimes it's really funny. But mostly it's the getting by thing."''

->Dear Mister Fantasy play us a tune\\
Something to make us all happy\\
Do anything take us out of this gloom\\
Sing a song, play guitar, make it snappy\\
You are the one who can make us all laugh\\
But doing that you break out in tears\\
Please don't be sad if it was a straight mind you had\\
We wouldn't have known you all these years

->I lose a lot, guys. No matter what I do, I always seem to lose. But I refuse to be beaten. So I make jokes. I get up right in life's face and mock it into oblivion. Because when I do that, I show life that it won't beat me. Ever. [...] Also, my jokes are amazing and it would be a crime against the universe not to utter them.

->'''Dazai:''' From birth, as I grew, I began to realize I wasn't the same as those around me. To everyone else, the confusion of life made perfect sense. Upon learning this, I became afraid of how different I was. So, I decided to become a clown.\\
'''MC:''' You... became a clown?\\
'''Dazai:''' A clown is just a role. But every group has one. If I played this role well, I might be able to blend in with real people. For he who can't be human like the rest, but he who can't go without them. It was a foolish choice. Then again, he was a clown.\\

'''Dazai:''' ''(cheerfully)'' ...Did you enjoy that story, Toshiko-san? I simply couldn't puff out my chest and declare myself good at making up stories without making up one for you.\\
'''MC:''' ''[thinking]'' (...I don't think that was made up. I think what he told me was true. His past. But I also think he's trying to tell me not to delve any deeper than that.)

->I heard a joke once: Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed, life is harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in threatening world. Doctor says, ''"Treatment is simple. The great clown Pagliacci is in town. Go see him. That should pick you up."'' Man bursts into tears. ''"But doctor,"'' he says, ''"I am Pagliacci."''\\

Laugh, Pagliaccio, so the crowd will cheer!\\

Laugh at the grief that poisons your heart!
