Al leans into Butch and Homer’s conversation and asks Butch, ” Do you… do you know Among My Souvenirs? Hmm? ‘There’s nothing left of meee…’ “

Butch plays a few notes, but Al shushes him, then pats him on the shoulder. 

Al walks to the middle of the dance floor and dramatically taps his foot three times to set the tempo. Butch follows his lead and starts playing the song. 

Millie has been sitting quietly, but then realizes what song Butch is playing. She smiles and looks at Al. 

Al walks back to the booth and looks at Millie. 

“Shall we dance?” he asks.

“Well, that’s a charming idea!” agrees Millie. She stands, and they embrace. 

“Do you remember this tune?” asks Al. Millie presses her cheek against Al’s and they begin to dance. Millie holds onto Al’s shoulders and closes her eyes as she smiles. 

They turn on the dance floor. Al has his eyes closed, as well.
