"And now...".

The family proceeds through gates and then walks to the seats, while Bart and Lisa keep repeating "Are we at our seats yet?" and Homer answers "No". They see a bottle of Beer going down the steps and Barney go down with it, bowling over the orchestra then saying "Thanks the Beatles" and burping.
