An unnamed younger woman who does not want to grow old like Sophie wants the bone for herself, and tries to steal it. After they fight over it, Sophie hits the woman with the bone, causing her to lay unconscious on the ground.

Finally, Sophie is seen dancing with the bone with a song's vocals including "I may be old but you're dead", and "you are dead but I am still alive".
