I'm okay.|Let's step outside.

Party|- Nice knowing you, Jersey.

Get naked|- Come on, you guys! Let me hear you!

Who am I kidding?|I can't do this.

Of course you can.|Now cheer up,

because there's a really|cute guy at the bar asking for you.

Somebody's asking for me?

He says his name|is Mr. O'Donnell.

Well, take a good look,|because tonight's my last night. I think I'm gonna get fired.

- Why?|- I have to make $250 in two hours.

It's completely impossible.

Here's nine dollars,|just to get you started. Okay?

I always like to help|a friend in need.

Why are you looking at me|like that?

Kevin, I don't want|your money.

All right, uh, listen up.|Ladies.

The bidding will start|at $25...

for one night only.

You get this:
|pure bred, housebroken,

fully trained,|yowling stud.

- No way.|- That's pretty cheap.

Violet, what are you doing?

You said you wanted to help,|so... turn around, sir,

let 'em take a look at ya.

Why are you doing this to me?

It's payback time,|Mr. O'Donnell.

Now, turn around.

No, God, no.|Don't do this.

Go on, show 'em|what you've got.

Are you in?|Do you wanna do this?

- All right, ladies.|What'll you give me? - I've got twenty bucks.

I've got $25 right here.

Mmm. Mmm! Oh.

I'm gonna meet ya, meet ya meet ya one day

I'm gonna meet ya

I'll meet ya

Better close out, girls.

- Can I ask you something?|- What?

What-- What does|"Coyote Ugly" mean?

Did you ever wake up sober|after a one night stand...

and the person you're next|to is layin' on your arm, and they're so ugly...

you'd rather chew off|your arm than risk wakin' them?

- That's coyote ugly.|- Let's go, ladies.

Well, why would you name|your bar after something like that?

Well, because "Cheers"|was taken.

Cabs are out front.

- You're rich,Jersey.|- See ya.

Yeah. Good night.

The woman who purchased me|is named Sandy Rosenfeld, a divorcee with three grown kids,

a passion for long walks|and short-haired hunting dogs and Italian opera.

Her ex-husband is a C.P.A.|Her favorite artist is Van Gogh,

and her New Year's resolution|is to lose 15 pounds-- and to see Barbra in concert.

Okay. I owe you.

What do you want?

Well, it's 3:
30 in the morning.|I want what every man wants.

Breakfast.

And that's it? I go to breakfast|with you, and we're even?

No. We're not even close to even,|because I danced on a bar,

I took off my shirt,|and I unzipped my pants.

Okay. Let's make a deal.|Breakfast and lunch.

- Breakfast, lunch and two dinners.|- That's four dates!

Yep. Which would make it|the second longest relationship I've ever had.

- Getin the car.

Oh, I hate to spoil|your evening, but it looks like we're not gonna go anywhere.

Oh, my God.

It's hard to find parking|in New York.

You ever eaten Turkish?|This is the place.

- Hey. How you doin'?|- Hi, Kevin.

- Four of the regular?|- Sure, yeah. Hey.

- Hey, Kevin. How are you, man?|- How you doin', man? Good.

Here it is, man.|Flown in from Miami.

- Check out the merchandise.|- Hey, man, no. I trust you.

Allright, allright.

Look, uh, I don't know|what you're into, but--

The Amazing Spider-Man,|number 129, mint condition.

- Worth a thousand bucks.|- A comic book.

No, it's not just a comic book.|This is the first appearance of the Punisher.

This is the holy grail|of comic books.

- You collect comic books.|That's so cute. - Yeah.

It's not cute.|It's very rugged and manly.

- It's just a bit kinky. Huh?|- I think it's sweet.

So, do you always eat breakfast|on the hood of your car?

What can I say?|I'm a romantic.

You think this|is romantic?

Well, you may not be feeling it now,|but I think one day...

-you'll be on stage singing|a song about this very night. - Mmm.

"When We Were Downwind|From a Trash Barge."

Yeah. Catchy title.|Hum a few bars.

Sorry to disappoint you,|but I'm a songwriter, not a singer.

When I get on stage,|I freeze.

What if the fate of the free world|rested on your voice?

Okay. If the fate of the free|world depended on me singing,

maybe.

All I ever really wanted|is to sit in the dark...

and hear someone great|singing my songs.

I wanna be the one|who writes the music.

I remember the first time|my mother played me "Bridge Over Troubled Water"...

by Simon and Garfunkel.

I remember exactly|what she was wearing.

I remember exactly how her hair smelled.|I remember exactly how I felt.

And every time|I hear that song,

I remember exactly|what she was wearing...

and exactly|how her hair smelled...

and exactly how I felt.

'Cause the great songs|last forever.

- So, what's the problem?|- Well...

now they're telling me the only|way to get my songs heard...

is to go out there|and sing 'em myself.

So we're gonna have to try fix this|little problem straight away.

Hmm. And how do you propose|we do that?

Well, is there any place|you feel comfortable singing?

- The shower.|- We'll start there.

I mean, I don't care how long|it takes, how many hours we have to spend in that shower.

- Let's get to it.|- Okay. Before we hit the showers,

maybe you could tell me|a little something about yourself.

Oh, really?|What do you wanna know?

What part of Australia|are you from?

I'm from all over.|My family moved around a lot.
