Mr. Pops continues to brandish his gun, aiming directly at Ringo's ponytail, as he continues to slowly explain why the ringmaster has to die. Tracy still can't quite grasp why Mr. Pops feels the need to off his boss, so Mr. Pops tells him he's a snitch (even though he was snitching on a criminal organization), a traitor (to that same criminal organization), and, worst of all, a blackmailer (of a criminal organization. Oh, I wasn't supposed to say that? My mistake.). Oh Mr. Pops, I don't know that Tracy is really going to take your case seriously. It isn't the makeup, it's the fact that you're well, you're a criminal and his job is to bring people like you to justice. (Those are the breaks, kid, sorry.)
Taking advantage of his close-up, and also now bringing the gun back into the picture, Mr. Pops starts talking about the difference between circus folk and the rest of the world, and here his logic starts to fall apart. Mr. Pops, please consider that if you kill the ringmaster, won't the circus fold? Won't that then be the end of, as you put it, your "only home"? Maybe you should think about it for a minute. Then again, you might have a point if Ringo is in fact threatening to expose all of your secrets. (That's just bad business sense.) Oh my, I think I'm getting confused. Still, I'm not sure that Mr. Pops is entirely dedicated to his plan since he says that killing is too good for Ringo (even though it would silence him and then no one would be around to tell the scandalous circus secrets). I'm just wondering what is good enough? Perhaps he will be pulled apart by elephants (even though we've only seen one) or snowmobiles (even though we haven't seen any, and the last snow we saw was a couple of stories back). Oh the suspense!
