That does get a little smile out of Orpheus - never the most vocally anti-establishment out of all Hermes's retinue but who'd always had leanings - though he sobers up too when Michael does, nodding.

"I appreciate that?" he says. "Knowing that you would've - and, even if it wasn't a good idea, it's done, now. There's no changing it. And I think what matters most, in the end, is that Eurydice and I can be together here."

(Memory-Orpheus continues to rally the workers, raising his and their voices in call-and-response ("Is it true?" "Is it true?"), while all the while the faintest traces of muffled argument filter down from the office above. Suddenly, the factory whistle sounds and the doors fly open, revealing Hades, a fire of grim fury in his expression. In a panic, the workers scramble back to their stations, singing;

"Oh, keep your head, keep your head low
Oh you've gotta keep your head low
If you wanna keep your head, huh
Oh you've gotta keep your head low
Keep your head keep your head low
Oh you've gotta keep your head low
If you wanna keep your head"

Meanwhile, Hades descends the stairs from his balcony, watching them all the while, before turning his attention to Orpheus.

"When I was a young man, like you
Son, I was abandoned too
By the one who took my hand
When I was a young man

"Now it seems that you've made quite a strong impression on my wife
But it takes more than singing songs to keep a woman in your arms

"Take it from a man no longer young
If you want to hold a woman, son
Hang a chain around her throat
Made of many karat gold
Shackle her from wrist to wrist
With sterling silver bracelets
Fill her pockets full of stones
Precious ones, diamonds
Bind her with a golden band
Take it from an old man")
