'''Stefano:''' For all I know… your name is not even Alex.\\

'''Gia:''' We trusted you. (''Turns and leaves in depression along with the others'')\\
'''Stefano:''' MY TEARS ARE REAL! YOU'RE NOT!\\
(''Alex, Marty, Melman, and Gloria hang their heads in shame. The penguins follow the circus crew'')\\

!Spoilers can’t be marked on this page. You have been warned.

--> '''Alex''': Stefano, why the sad little face?
--> '''Stefano''': Vitaly. He will not go on!\\
--> '''Alex''': Huh?\\
--> '''Stefano''': I tried everything I could! (''weeping'')\\
--> '''Alex''': Wipe away the tears. Calm down. Where is he? I’m sure I can reason with him.

-->'''Gia''': Alex, you're from a zoo?\\

'''Alex''': Yes, yes. But wait, there's more.\\
'''Gia''': 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!\\
'''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...\\
'''Gia''': And Trapeze Americano, you made that up too?\\
'''Alex''': It didn't exactly exist when I taught it to you.\\
'''Gia''': Ugh! 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 life-long dream!\\
'''Stefano''': For all I know… your name is not even Alex.\\
'''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...\\
'''Gia''': We trusted you. (''Turns and leaves in depression along with the others'')\\
'''Stefano''': MY TEARS ARE REAL! YOU'RE NOT!\\

'''Skipper''': (''sobbing'') [[HypocriticalHumor I can't believe you lied to all us circus folk!]]

-->'''Julien''': It's obvious that I'm just an emotional whoopee cushion for you to sit on. When you look for where I am...I WON'T BE THERE! ''(Julien slams the door behind him and sobs; Sonya looks back at the door and lets out a sad grunt.)''

-->'''Gloria''': [[RuleOfSymbolism I forgot about that wall in between us, Melman]]. Was that always there?
* The DarkReprise of "Alex the Lion" back at the Central Park Zoo.

'''Stefano''': Vitaly. He will not go on!\\

** His PTSD, and especially his lonely moment in his train car when he [[spoiler:looks at the hoops and flashes back to the fire he now fears]] is particularly heart-wrenching.

'''Stefano''': For all I know… your name is not even Alice.\\

* *The argument between Sonya and Julien. Quite the Tear Jerker, even though Sonya isn't a FunnyAnimal like the rest of the cast and only "speaks" in growls and grunts. Her face as she looks at the door sells it all.

* The DarkReprise of "Alex the Lion" back at the Central Park Zoo.
* Alex's desperate attempt to fix the plane after it broke the second time, only to come to face the fact that it's broken beyond repair. Him saying that the gang will never make it to New York really sells it, though.
* The fight between Sonya and Julien. Quite the Tear Jerker, even though Sonya isn't a FunnyAnimal like the rest of the cast and only "speaks" in growls and grunts.
