One performer, a Spaniard, thinking that the black man is an actor, tells him that the Fat Men have hired all the performers trinity test for this festival and paid them well as long as they praise trinity test the Fat Men and condemn the rebels in their performances. Any performers who refused were arrested. As the show begins, a clown comes out and says some words in praise of the Fat Men, but is hit in trinity test the face with a cake. Strongman Lapitup comes out and gives a weight-lifting demonstration. He bangs some barbells together and says that is how the Three Fat Men will smash the heads of Prospero and Tibul. The black man calls him a traitor and tells him to shut up. The strongman is unnerved when the black man says he knows Lapitup's personal history--his father is a blacksmith and his sister a washer-woman. The black man gives Lapitup until the count of three to leave.
