Need help with a reaction mechanism

At first look I was guessing since the hydrogens on the carbon inbetween the two carbonyl groups were positive, it would attack the double bond. How far off am I?
Also thought about whether the EtO^- would react with a hydrogen on the carbon between the two carbonyls, create EtOH and THEN the leftover hydrogen would react with the double bond

Your way of expressing yourself is a bit non-standard. Draw the intermediate created by removing a proton between the two carbonyls (I would describe this proton as being more acidic than most C-H groups, not more positive). Show what happens next.
