The scene in question:
Mr. Burns sat on the bed, facing a mirror affixed to the wall ahead of him. He glared into the mirror, watching as Smithers tentatively stepped forward, dropping his jacket to the floor and loosening his bow tie. “Sir,” said Smithers, “I'm sorry. I promise I'll be more discreet in the future.”
“You damn well better, or you can kiss that promotion goodbye.”
Smithers walked to the bed and sat on the floor, his back to Mr. Burns. “Thanks for holding my hand.”
Mr. Burns lay back against the bed, his head next to Smithers' as he stared up at the ceiling. “Is that all you're going to thank me for?”
He turned his head up and to the side to face him. “Thank you for letting me be in your life.”
“I meant the music.”
“I thought that was a mistake.”
“Oh, come now. I hired them to come play while you were in the bathroom. You looked like you needed some cheering up.”
Smithers smiled warmly. “I knew you were a romantic, Monty.”
Mr. Burns tilted his head down and closed his lips over Smithers', hesitantly slipping his tongue in his mouth. He parted their lips after a few seconds to catch his breath, while Smithers still stared adoringly up at him.
