Vesti la guibba. 'Put on the costume'. The clown Pagliaccio discovers that his wife is cheating on him, but forces himself to prepare for his performance because the show must go on. He must turn his pain and sobbing into jest. Nobody must be the wiser.

[Does!]

The show must go on, Mr. America.

[supersizedpower]

Shut up!

I hate you and your stupid song! Shut up!

'Laugh, clown, at your broken love. Laugh at the grief that poisons your heart.'

Mr. America. They mustn't be the wiser.
