You know what kind of maniacs|we got driving through here? They don't stop for nothin'.

- Whose boat?|- I borrowed it from a friend.

Yeah?|Looks like a guy's car to me.

- How can you tell?|- I've been staring at cars every day for the last 16 years.

- Who is he?|- He's a friend.

Look, I brought you|a turkey sandwich, no mayo, extra sprouts.

Thank you. Great.

I'm starvin'.|Now tell me about this bar.

Is it a bunch of bankers|havin' martinis afterwork?

I gotta go. Look.|I love you.

- I love you too. Be careful.

Hey, do I come to your office|and honk? Come on!

I got you a gig. There's this|club where a lot of music people hang out called the Elbow Room.

My friend's the manager.|He owes me a favor, and you're it, next Thursday night.

Are you forgetting|about the stage fright?

Uh, what about the bar?

Come on, Kevin.|All I do is sing along with the jukebox.

See? You're making progress.|A few more nights at my place, and you'll be cured.

I hate to burst your bubble,|but I'll never be cured. It's genetic.

Stage fright DNA.|Yes, I saw that on E.R. last week.

Okay. Laugh all you want,|but my mom couldn't do it, and neither can I.

So was your mother afraid|to try?

Look, I just wanna be a songwriter.|Why won't you give up on this?

Because I've been giving up|on people my entire life, and it's a nasty little habit.

So, you're gonna sing|at the club, or I'll--

Or you'll what?

I'll never kiss you again.

That sounds like a threat,|Mr. O'Donnell.

Well, let's just say...

it's gonna be quite a long,|cold winter.

That's supposed to convince me?

It's working, isn't it?|Your knees are getting weak.

- I'll think about it.|- Try again.

Uh, I'll see|if I can get off work.

You're gettin' warmer.

All right. You win. I'll do it.

Oh, I love winning.

Pour some sugar on me

Pour your sugar on me|- Hey, we have a special treat...

for you tonight,|boys and girls.

I'm a paying customer tonight.|I have class in the morning. What are you doing?

- Come on, Zoe!|- No!

Zoe! Zoe! Zoe! Zoe!

I have to come over and do your laundry.|We both know you're running out of clean shirts.

I'm not gonna apologize|because that would mean I'm doing something wrong.

And I'm not sure I am, so--

I'm playing at a club tonight.

A real club.|Someone important could hear my song,

and next month somebody|might be singing it on the radio.
