Stefano
It's real!
M Maurice
That's how you do it!
Stefano
So, you want to run away with the circus?
Alex
Live a life of adventure?
Gloria
Full of romance?
Melman
And danger!
Marty
Really living!
Stefano
What do you say?
Marty
[singing]
Ra da da-da-da-da da circus! Da da da-da-da-da-da da Afro circus! Afro circus! Afro! Polka-dot, polka-dot, polka-dot Afro!
Alex
[Marty and Julien do their mash-up dance routine with "I Like To Move It" and "Afro Circus" while Gloria, Melman, Alex and the circus animals celebrate their victory]
Hey, Skipper, what did you end up doing with the crazy lady anyway?
Alex
Stefano, why the sad little face?
Stefano
Vitaly. He will not go on!
Alex
What?
Stefano
I tried everything I could! [weeping]
Alex
Shhhhh... Wipe away the tears. Calm down. Where is he? I'm sure I can reason with him.
G Gia
Alex, you're from a zoo?
Alex
[Alex and his friends look at them in shock. Their lie is now revealed.]
Yes, yes. But wait, there's more.
Alex
Or less. There's less.
Vitaly
You were never circus?
Gloria
We had to say we were circus!
Melman
Or you never would've let us on the train!
G Gia
After all we've been through together, you want to go live in a zoo?
Alex
Gia, I...
Vitaly
You used us!
Alex
No, no, no! I mean... I mean yes, but... but...
G Gia
And Trapeze Americano, you made that up too?
Alex
It didn't exactly exist when I taught it to you.
G Gia
[groans]
Jet packs and aquatic cobras! I should've known!
Stefano
"Balloons to the children of the world" was not real either?
Alex
Yeah, that's not real. But look at what we did!
Stefano
I WAS SHOT OUT OF A CANNON! I COULD'VE DIED!
Marty
But I thought you said it was your lifelong dream!
Stefano
For all I know… your name is not even Alice.
Alex
No, Stefano, but it never really was.
Stefano
I don't feel safe! [Stefano sobs in Gia's arms as Vitaly looks at Alex and his friends, feeling betrayed and hurt]
Alex
Gia, I...
G Gia
[tearfully]
We trusted you. [turns and leaves in depression along with the others]
Stefano
MY TEARS ARE REAL! YOU ARE NOT!
Skipper
[Alex, Marty, Melman, and Gloria hang their heads in shame. The penguins follow the circus crew.] [sobbing]
I can't believe you lied to all of us circus folk! [blows his beak]
