He then starts singing a song on his guitar for Goldie.

Your signs meet me daily

A matter to be done

You're finding it harder and harder

It's been years since you won

Take up my storage, it's all your-age

Hot, cold, perfect porridge

Take up my storage, it's all your-age

Goldie, Goldie, Goldie, oh

Notably, after signing the fourth lyric, he is interrupted by his now adult daughter at the door, telling him that dinner is almost ready. After she leaves, he looks down sadly and takes a breath before looking up at his grandchildren who are playing yard eating apples from the apple tree. He then begins singing the song again, with a shot notably showing a shelf with old awards and possessions that once belonged to Goldie.

## Notes
