Coyote Ugly Page #7

When was the last time|you took a chance on something?

- Some of us don't have that luxury.|- Why is that?

Oh, right. We don't talk about you,|right? It's a big secret.

Come on, Kevin.|Let's play a game.

I'm gonna guess why|you left Australia.

- Doesn't matter.|- You... were in jail.

No, that's not it.|You have a wife and four kids in Sydney.

Come on. Am I getting warm?|Come on, Kevin. I don't have a lot of time.

Why'd you run away from home?

I didn't have a home.|Is that what you wanted to hear?

I don't have a family.

I mean, that's the big secret.|Are you happy?

Huh? Are you gonna|feel sorry for me now?

You gonna hold me close|while I tell you I had to change homes every two years?

I had a bad childhood.|Big deal.

I don't need your sympathy,|'cause I'm here,

and I'm living on my two feet|like I wanted to.

That was my dream.

And at least I did it|with a little bit of dignity.

And I didn't.|That's it?

Well, just unbutton the blouse|a little and unzip the pants,

show a little bit of flesh,|I think you can figure it out.

Go on in. Your fans are waitin' for ya|to crawl on a bar.

I told you not to break the rules.

What are you talking about?

I'm talking about you and your boyfriend|making a scene in my bar.

I'm talking about a friend of mine|inside with a broken nose.

The rules were simple, Jersey.|I've fired girls for a lot less.

What, so I can't have a boyfriend now?|What kind of stupid sh*t is that?

Hey! This place is my home,

and I'm not willing|to risk everything I have on your personal life.

It's business,|plain and simple.

This is not business.|I worked my ass off for you, and you're supposed to be my friend.

I never said I was your friend.|I'm your boss, and you knew the rules like everybody else.

Will you stop... with "the rules"?|It's a bar, for Christ's sake!

Then what are you|so upset about?

Please remember

How we cried

was yours and mine

was out of reach

You stood by me

and made it shine

across the sky

We ran so free

And I had you

And you had me

Please remember

- Oh, my God. Give me a bite. I'm starving.

- Mmm!

- Mmm, thank you.|- How does it feel to be Mrs. Molinaro?

You know, I think he was a perfect|choice for my first marriage.

- Mmm.|- Hey, Gloria.

- Oh!|- Thanks for inviting me, uh--

I gotta go to work.|I'm on graveyard tonight.

- Thank you, Mr. Sanford.|- Yeah, well, it's not worth a hug, dear.

- It's only 50 bucks.|- Aw.

- Your old man's a ten, Vi.|- Eleven, some days a twelve.

Well, it's a beautiful wedding.

No, you can't go. I just want|one picture of you and Violet dancing together. Come on.

Wise men say

Only fools

Rush in

But I can't

Help|- Are you really working, or are you leaving because of me?

Falling in love|- You know I don't like to wear a tie.

With you

- Ha, ha.

So this is how it's gonna be?|You're not gonna return my phone calls?

If you needed money,|you should have come to me.

I would have found a way|to take care of you.

Dad, you can't even|take care of yourself.

Hey, I am doing just fine|on my own, thank you very much.

Oh, really? So how come|you're not wearing any socks?

Falling in love

With you|- I had a minor disagreement with a clothes dryer.

Like a river flows

Surely to the sea

Darling, so it goes

Some things

Are meant to be

What bothers me...

Take my hand|- is, for the first time in my life,

I was ashamed of you.

Take my whole|- I would have never thought that would ever have been possible.

Life too

For I can't

Help

Hey, it's me. Leave a message after the beep.

- Violet?

I've just finished work,|and in a few hours...

I'm going to unload|three disgusting fish trucks.

I thought maybe you'd like|to come and give me a hand.

- But you're not in.|- Okay, okay, okay. I'm coming. I'm coming.

Or you're not picking up,|so I'll call back...

because I'm hoping|one day you... will wanna talk.

- Kevin? Hello?

Kevin? Hello? It's me.

- I'm here.|- Is this Violet Sanford?

- Yes.|- I'm calling from Riverview Medical Center.

We have a patient here by the|name of William James Sanford. Is that your father?

Violet Sanford?

- Yeah?|- Your dad's in recovery right now.

The car struck him|on his right side when he was walking to the booth.

His right leg is broken,|and there was some arterial damage we had to go in and repair.

But other than that,|it's just a lot of bumps and bruises.

I'd say he's a pretty lucky guy.

Violet?

I told you, don't come down here.|It's your wedding night.

Oh, are you kidding? Danny's been|in my family for five minutes.

You've been in my family|my whole life.

Mmm, I'm sorry.

I love you... so much.

I never did thank you|for the dance.

That's okay.

That's all right.

My tapes.

Come on. Just call him.|Just pick up the phone and call him.

Don't call him.

Told you.|This place is a palace.

It's pretty late.|Are you sure you wanna do this now?

Well, here's my door.|No turning back now. Come on in.

Oh, you're so right.|This place is a palace.

- Would I lie to you?|- This is a great idea. I'm so glad--

- Nice strong pulse.|- Mmm.

Don't look at me like that.|I'm a sick man.

You can eat what ever you want|now, but when we go back home,

it's egg whites|and Lean Cuisines.

- I'll see you later, Bill.|- W-Wait a minute.

What do you mean,|"until we go home"?

- I'm moving back.

I couldn't do it.|I couldn't sing my songs.

- I was afraid.

Do you know why Mommy quit?

Yeah, she told me--|'cause she couldn't do it.

No, that's not it.

She wasn't afraid, Vi.

Your mother on stage--|Oh, she was amazing.

Then why did she quit?

Because of me.

Right after you were born,|she told me she wanted to quit,

and I let her.

See, I knew how good she was,|but I never told her.

I loved her...

more than anything.

And I just went on and pretended|that there was no other choice.

- Dad, it's okay.|- No, it's not okay.

I'm not gonna make the same|mistake twice. You're not goin' back to work for Pete.

I don't care what it takes.|I don't care how many bars you have to stand on.

You are not comin' home.|I'm not letting you back in the house.

Forget it.

Are you wearing cologne?

Hmm? No!

Oh, well, it's just a...|splash of Old Spice.

Where did you get Old Spice?

That nice redheaded nurse|gave it to me as a gift.

Then she asked me out|for coffee.

I'm scared.

Are you gonna go on a date?

God, a date.

I better buy a pair of socks.

Okay. Come on in here.|Watch out for the-- Okay. Okay.

Try to hide from my kiss

Can't fight the moonlight

You can't fight the moonlight

You'll surrender your heart

But you know that you

Okay if I eat here at the bar?

- Do you have a reservation?|- Uh, yeah.

It's under, um,|"cast-iron heartless b*tch."

Could it be under|"stubborn and pigheaded"?

Yes. That's the one.

I'll have a double|water on the rocks, please.

- How'd you find me?|- Cammie.

She told me about your pop.|I'm sorry to hear about that.

He's okay.

Good.

- So am I.|- Yeah. Yeah, I can see that.

What's good to eat here?
