Day: Roma, departing from the village, sings pensively of the passing of time. Hajduk rushes in on a quick exit from the village, quite relieved to be single again; apparently his dalliance with the feisty Vixen was too hot to handle. As a parting gesture, Roma throws for him one last tarot card, the Wheel of Fortune. After nostalgically singing a duet about the good times past, they decide to continue traveling together.
