In this short scene, we learn that the old man is named "Smokey" and that he has been a top aide to "Macao" for seven years. He has a daughter, but she has not spoken to him recently. He tells us that he thinks his magic has improved his games. He asks everyone to come to his waiting arms to celebrate their freedom from the "time curse" and to drink and sing. He also tells them that they may call upon him whenever they wish.
