The scene opens in a fancy restaurant in Paris. The waiter tells us that every new guest at the restaurant has to go onstage and sing a song in order to be admitted. This means that if the guest is drunk, they'll be kicked out and won't be able to get in any more. This is a bummer for the waiter, who's trying to be nice to the guy he just met.

He tells the waiter that his friend is wonderful, and that he can't wait to say goodbye to him and watch the train going away. He also says that the train is going to go far away, and he hopes that his secret will keep him happy. He asks the waiter if he can enter the restaurant even if he isn't wearing anything, and the waiter says that even if you don't wear anything, you'll still be his friend. He goes on to say that he smokes a lot and that his food is getting colder. He reminds the waiter of another song called "bear" and says that if he thinks the food's getting cold, he can heat up the food for him . He then asks if the waiter can introduce his daughter to him, and if she'll come visit him sometime. The
