A little girl approaches him for one last balloon...
Hello, little girl. I'm sorry, but I am not very happy today.
But I thought all clowns were happy, mister Clown!
Sometimes, something so horrible causes even a clown's eternal smile to become a defeated frown. You are too young to know these feelings.
... okay. Can I have a balloon now, mister Clown?
... and finally, Clown's fragile psyche snaps!
... of course you can, little girl. Just wait a few moments... I have to get my... balloons.
Oh, wow! I didn't know clowns kept their ballons in their underpants!
