Lil, you didn't come here to eat.|What do you want?

'Kay.

I just wanted to let you know|you can come back to the bar whenever you want.

- I appreciate the offer,|but I'm okay here. - I figured that.

You were never a lifer.

I'm married to that bar.|Hell, I'd, uh--

I'd sleep there if I had the guts|to walk around barefoot.

- But that's me, you know?

I'm the original Coyote--

just a small town gal trying|to make it in the big bad city.

"Small town gal"?

Piedmont, North Dakota.

You ever tell anyone that,|I'll kill ya.

Take care,Jersey.

You have one new message.

I have one message in eight hours.|How pathetic am I?

Violet, this is Lyndsey Morgan|from the Bowety Ballroom.

Listen, we loved your CD,

and we want you to play|in our songwriter's showcase next Sunday night.

You're on at 10:
00 sharp.|So drop your music by the club,

and the house band|can learn your song.

Now if you have any questions,|don't be afraid to give me a shout. See ya Sunday.

- Here are the keys to the apartment.|It's all yours. - Thank you.

I can't thank you enough for|subleasing me this place. You don't know how long I looked.

And when is your boyfriend moving in?

He's actually coming in|tomorrow from Boston.

It's historic, guys.|This is the first night I've closed early in three years.

Ta-da. Will you hang that|outside for me?

- Hey, Lou, you got that number|I asked you about? - Yep.

So why are you moving|to Chicago?

I'll figure that out|when I get there.

- Um, oh.

- Hello.|- Hey, do yourself a favor and look at page 137 of The Voice.

I can't believe|your name is in the paper. I'm gettin' this framed.

Dad, if you're not ready|in five minutes, I'm gonna leave without you.

Keep your pants on, will ya?|I'm physically challenged.

I only got three rolls of film.|I hope that's enough.

Dad, I'm only singing|one song.

Right. Better go get|another one.

Hey, Bill.

My kid's singing tonight|at some club in the city.

She's a little nervous.|Hey, maybe you can give us a one, two, three for luck.

You got it. All right, let's give it up|for Bill Sanford's daughter.

- Light 'em up. One, two, three.

Oh, look, Vi.

- I can't do this.|- -

- Jesus!

Did I mention to you|that I was recently in a horrific car accident?

I-- I can't do this.|I gotta go back.

- Violet, listen to me.|Are you listening? - Yes.

You have nothing to be afraid of.|You're already a star.

- Dad, what are you talking about?|I'm a nobody. - If you're such a nobody,

then why did I buy this off Pete|for 20 bucks?

- Why do you have that?|- I saw it on the wall, decided I wanted the first autograph.

I figured it'd be|a damn good investment.

Now what are you waiting for?|I didn't spend three months in physical therapy...

just to take a ride|to the state line, you got me?

- Yeah, I got ya.|- So what do you say, Vi? How about another U-ey?

You guys call in a one, two, three!|Now, let's do it again.

- This time I wanna feel chills!

There goes Bill again. He's|back for seconds. Come on now! Let's give him all we got!

- Let's go!

The only reason why I came down|here tonight is to see her fall on her face.

Oh, take it easy, Rachel.|It's supposed to be a nice night out.

- Excuse me.|- I'm cool. Don't worty about me.

- Hi. Good evening, ladies.|Can I help you? - No.

It's packed, Lyndsey.|The house band has been on for 15 minutes.

If she's not here in five,|she's bumped.

- Jesus!

Uh, now that we're here,|I'm feeling a little nervous.

Thank you, Mr. Sanford.

Oh, oh, probably just carsick.

Forget I mentioned it.|I'm fine. Have a great show.

Vi.

Get your butt in there.|Come on. We're right behind you.

Break a leg, sweetie.
