Homer and Butch sit down at the piano.

“Are you all set, kid?” asks Butch.

“I’m ready when you are!” says Homer.

“Okay, one – two – three!” says Butch. They play a spirited duet of “Chopsticks.”

In the background, Fred calls Peggy on the pay phone. Al watches, while standing next to the piano.

As the song ends, Fred hangs up the phone, staring at the receiver.  Everyone except Al applauds the duet.

“What’s the matter?” asks Homer. “Didn’t you like it, Al? We’ve been working for weeks.”

“Sure, Homer!” says Al. “It was swell!”

Fred leaves the phone booth and heads out the door of Butch’s.
