Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist Page #3

Synopsis: It's been three weeks, two days, and 23 hours since Tris broke up with Nick. And now here she is at his gig, with a new guy. How could she have moved on so fast? This begins the night of Nick, Norah and Manhattan. The night of stripping nuns, hotel ice rooms, Russian food, psychotic ex-boyfriends and lovingly trashy ex-girlfriends. It's the night of Julio and Salvatore. The night of holding hands and writing songs and singing in the rain. It's a night they'll never forget.

- What about Sh*t Sandwich?

We are Sh*t Sandwich.

Whatever happened to Dickache?

I liked Dickache.

- I got it. What about The Tight Ends?

- Going Balls Deep.

Norah! Norah! Norah!

Brooklyn Pool. I got a clue.

Hey. You are not gonna believe this.

So can't we talk about

how cool Fluffy is?

- They're my favorite band in the world.

- They're my favorite band.

I've gotten so many people

into that band.

Me too.

I had a bootleg of "Black Carnage"

before anybody else ever heard it.

I was the first person

outside of the band to hear that song.

- Okay. Yeah.

- I'm sure that I was.

We went to see them

at the Elbow Room.

- Yes?

- And it was a total bait and switch.

- Are You Randy showed up instead.

- That literally makes me wanna die.

Yeah, I hate those guys. I was the one

that got her into Where's Fluffy.

It was me.

She'd never even heard of them until I

put one of their songs on a CD for her.

- Tris. I'm talking about Tris.

- Is that right?

How well do you know each other?

You go to Sacred Heart together or?

Do you guys talk a lot?

Talk about her new boyfriend?

I cannot believe Tris dated a

straightedge. That's, like, astounding.

What did she say about me?

She said I was a straightedge?

Can I ask, what did you see

in her? I could floss with that girl.

This is your friend?

All right. I'm the bad guy now. This

what we're doing? I'm the bad guy?

If you really wanna know, she actually

supported our music and our band...

...when nobody else did,

not that that's any of your business.

- Okay, forget it. I can't do this.

- Do what?

Just make a U-turn and take me back

to Ludlow. I'll find my own way.

- Perfect.

- I refuse to be the goodie bag...

...at your party.

- You don't have to yell.

It's not a train station.

We're in a car.

- Just drop me off.

- I will.

Oh, my God!

Are you crazy?

I don't know what I did

to make you so angry.

- Nothing. You're ridiculous.

- You don't know me.

- I know you. I know your make.

- My make?

You're an emo-band boy,

obsessed with Tris?

They could make action figures of you.

Drummer not included.

It's funny that Tris

never mentioned you.

But she did mention some frigid,

jealous JAP that was jealous of her...

...and who was a complete b*tch.

- Oh, jealous? Oh, really?

- I know who she was referring to.

- Let's dance, douche bag.

Sweetheart,

you think you have something to...

I am not jealous!

Oh, no, man, she's not jealous.

Awesome. Awesome night.

- So how's it going?

- It was great until she choked me out.

- Kinky.

- What's up with you guys?

Well, everything's fine here,

Nick. Peachy.

- It's just we sort of kind of lost

the girl. - What girl?

You know, the girl.

What?

Yeah, well, we came to

Gray's Papaya to grab a bite to eat...

...and she must've woke up.

The chick's flown the coop.

- Thom, that's not acceptable.

- I know.

So the shitbox stall again?

You want us to pick you up?

Thom, you have to find her.

We already looked everywhere,

Nicky. She's not in the van.

She's not in Gray's Papaya.

She's gone.

So I think now is the time

we cut our losses and go find Fluffy.

Right? Hello, Nicky?

Hey, Tal, it's me. Where are you?

- Hey.

- Norah?

They lost Caroline.

What?

Norah?

You kids been drinking?

- No.

- No.

Why not?

We're having a search party.

Search party!

God.

Party.

Search party, N.Y.C.

Search party, N.Y.C.

Caroline, where the hell

can you be?

- Caroline.

- Caroline.

Caroline.

Caroline.

Caroline!

Guys, we need to be adults right now.

- I don't have $ 11.

- How much do you have?

- Total?

- Yeah.

One dollar.

One dollar won't get you to Newark.

Oh, no, no. I didn't say

I wanted to go to Newark.

That's so funny.

Okay. I'm just gonna

tell you something.

I was kidnapped tonight. Seriously.

In this van with these guys

talking about going balls deep.

Sounds like fun, right?

Not always. Scary.

I just think the Jerk Offs

isn't hardcore enough.

We are not calling ourselves

Sh*t Sandwich, and that is final.

I want my stepfather to have the

possibility of seeing one of our shows.

Yeah, well, I'm a third of this group,

too, Thom, if not more.

- How are you more?

- I'm the lead singer.

- You all right?

- I can't believe...

...I'm missing Where's Fluffy

for this.

- Where's Fluffy? Where?

- Well, supposedly at Brooklyn Pool.

We can't go, because we

need to relocate the entire person...

...you guys managed to lose.

- Thank you very much.

- Oh, come on.

Okay. Listen, she's probably there.

I mean, the chick likes to party.

I say we do a drive-by.

No. Absolutely not. No drive-bys.

Look, the sooner we find Caroline,

the sooner we can find Fluffy...

...and the sooner this

will be over.

Okay.

You know,

if you don't have a drummer...

...then why do you have drums,

you fistful of a**holes?

Fistful of A**holes.

I like it.

Hi, I'm Caroline. What's your name?

That's okay,

you don't have to tell me.

It's been, like, one of those nights,

you know?

I was with my friend Norah,

who you don't know...

...but you would really like her

because everybody likes Norah...

...and she left me tonight, which is...

She never does that.

And then I was kidnapped.

And then she...

Usually when I go home with her...

...she makes me a turkey sandwich

when I get home...

...but I might never get home,

you know?

And I'm so tired.

Is that a turkey sandwich?

It is.

Can you hold this for me?

Thank you so much.

Oh, my God.

Hi.

I just need my gum.

Okay, Englewood.

Okay. Well, the last bus to Englewood

left seven minutes ago.

You see? She's fine. Let's go.

No, just because there was a last bus

doesn't mean she was on the last bus.

- You and your logic.

- I'm trying her again.

I'll get it.

- Norah.

- Caro...

Oh, no.

Oh, God.

Norah?

- Help me.

- Caroline, where are you?

- Tell me where you are.

- Norah, my gum.

What? Can you hear me? Caroline?

Norah.

Norah, where are you?

- Can you hear me? Caroline?

- Norah?

- Sh*t.

- Where is she?

I don't know.

I couldn't hear over the music.

Music? What music?

She's at Brooklyn Pool.

She's probably looking for you.

- In Brooklyn?

- Let's go.

To Brooklyn?

Fine, let's go to Brooklyn.

- This is awesome.

- This is ridiculous.

Okay, what are we supposed to do

if she's not here, you guys?

When she's not here,

because she's not, obviously.

Hello. How you doing? Hi.

- Everybody in. Pile on in.

- Really? Are you sure?

There you go.

- No.

- I've been here for an hour.

No, you can't get in.

Hey, were you on YouTube

or something?

What?

Who are you?

I'm Norah.

I'm no one.

I'm just the daughter of someone.

Daughter of who?

My dad. I'm gonna

go find Caroline, okay?

Yeah, good luck.

That's my song.

Really? It's my song kind of.

Really? That's cool.

You dance?

Can we dance like this?

When they wrote this song, they were

hoping people would dance like this.

Go like this.

You're not supposed to actually...

Try and get as close to my hands
