He riffs on his agent's warnings not to badmouth things like the Joker movie, insisting he owes no loyalty since the film was bad and he wasn't paid, and declares he'll happily keep getting fired by people less extreme than Saudis.
- The business doesn't have teeth anymore—they can't tell him what to do or say, and they're not even offering anything in return.
- Joker was a bad movie, and Tim won't lie about it just because he was in it for a second and made no money.
- The director was mean to him, so he's not supposed to go around saying the movie is great when everyone agreed it sucked.
- Studios don't want people thinking he's 'that person that gets fired,' but he doesn't care what they think.
- Tim will get fired again from reasonable people who don't practice Sharia law or chop hands off.
- Being fired by controversial Saudi interests is the most controversial thing that will ever happen in his firing history—he's taking the win.
- Future employers will probably fire him for rational reasons after he rolls out of bed and does something they don't like, which is completely fine.
- This is the first time he's been fired by people who actually do really bad things, so he's celebrating it as a victory.
