As the showboat moves onstage, the downstage deckhand is seen getting up after lounging on the deck. The next shot, a closer view, shows him repeating the exact same move.
Stage door guard Dad is standing behind stage manager Pete as he looks through a hole in the curtain before the show. Dad asks Pete if he thinks the show is any good. Pete says the age of miracles has passed. Cut to Jerry entering through the stage door and saying hello to Dad, who is now seated back at his desk near the door.
