Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist Page #5

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.

Since when does a queen

need an excuse to sing?

Go, girl.

- Did you find her?

- No.

Merry Christmas.

Norah. Happy Hanukkah, Norah!

I made it to Broadway.

- I'll get her.

- Thanks.

This tree is drunk.

Norah, it's Yugo.

He came to rescue me.

It's right here, right here.

Stop. Stop, stop, stop. Right here.

I'll text you. Okay?

Want us to take you

back to the Yugo, Nicky?

Yeah, sure.

- The bass is really good.

- Thank you.

- You okay?

- No.

- You guys must be really good friends.

- Yes, I am a great friend.

It's always been like this. I'm the head

squire in Caroline's quest for attention.

That's gross.

You wanna...

I got one of these things.

You have a Handi Wipe?

Kind of handy.

What a gentleman.

Yeah, I...

We had Chinese food, like,

three weeks ago, and I haven't used it.

I never wash my pants.

I like to keep the night on them.

I've been thinking more

about Brown.

Yeah.

I think it'd be nice

to know someone an hour away.

Yeah.

I really wouldn't mind getting away

from my minion duties.

- Oh, Jesus.

- What?

Maybe I should just go

deal with it right now.

- Well, how will you get home?

- Nicky.

We'll get home fine.

You guys can still drop us off, right?

Yeah.

Nick.

Nice meeting you.

- Hi.

- Hi.

- What are you doing here?

- You know what I'm doing here.

No, I really don't.

Well, it wasn't hard to find

the only Yugo in the city.

I think it's the only Yugo

in the country.

Aren't you gonna

open the door for me?

- Well, where are we going?

- You're giving me a ride home.

Why don't you get a ride

from that new guy?

Well, he doesn't have a Yugo.

It's just a ride. It's late. Please?

Okay.

- Here.

- But I don't want your gum.

Just take it. God.

- Hello?

- Hey, Tal.

Norah.

Where are you?

You should go. I'll be fine.

Don't worry about me. Go.

Okay.

Bye.

Have fun. I love you.

I miss you already.

You guys got directions?

You know where you're going?

- Yeah, we got them.

- Okay. No stopping.

No stopping for anything.

I don't care if Brad Pitt is selling fruit

in a thong on the GW.

- You cannot stop, okay?

- Yeah. Yeah, we know. We know.

Well, good night,

my hetero heroine.

Good night, Dev. Good night, Thom.

It was a really fun night.

God, I don't know

what your name is.

It's Lethario.

Nice.

- There you are, yay.

- Hi.

- You made it.

- Yes.

You graced us with your presence.

You're the coolest girl ever.

- You wanna come have a seat?

- Yes.

- Okay, come. Step.

- Hi.

- Hey there.

- Hey.

So did you ever find Winehouse?

- Yes. And you don't wanna know.

- Yeah?

Don't even ask.

You're gonna be an amazing mother

one day.

Thanks. I guess so.

What is this jacket?

Who is Salvatore?

I got something to be worried

about here?

- It's just a jacket.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

- Yeah?

I feel so safe here.

Like when I was a kid driving home

with my parents...

...from some trip somewhere...

...and I couldn't help

but fall asleep because that car...

...like I was already home.

And that's how you feel, Nicky.

Like I'm already home.

Look, your car misses me.

It's falling apart without me.

But you just did that.

Oh, come on.

Are you really over me?

You wouldn't have to get over me

if you were still under me.

Yeah.

Wait, wait, wait.

What?

Just, you know, I'm driving.

And try not...

Let's go down by the river. Right here.

- I'm very glad you came to see me.

- Me too.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

You know, I brought a present

for you.

What? You didn't have to get me

any present.

So the history of the name,

Oz- rael...

...it's like anarchy meets Zionism,

you know. It's ironic.

Oh, man. You think Israel's ready

for all this Jew fire?

Are you kidding me?

We bring the Jew fire.

So...

...do you like it?

Yeah?

Serious? Oh, that means so much.

That means so much.

Thank you so much. Really?

Really? Oh, thank you.

And you think your dad will like it?

- Whenever you're ready.

- Hey, what?

- No. Did they just charge us?

- What?

Did they just charge us?

What the hell?

Could you please talk to someone

about this, please?

- About that? Sure.

- Yeah? Really?

Yeah. Sit tight.

Thank you.

You're the coolest girl ever.

Excuse me.

I think you meant two zeros,

not one.

Thank you.

I've been kind of getting some

mixed signals from you lately.

Yeah?

Sort of.

Clears that up.

That's my song.

Yeah.

Hey.

Hey, Nick.

Are you kidding me?

Gary?

Assorted meat plate?

Great. Just keep it coming.

Thank you.

Nicholas' phone.

Hi, is Nick there?

No, he's not. Would you like

to call back for his voice mail?

Can I just leave a message?

Yeah, but if I need a pen,

you're sh*t out of luck.

Could you tell him...

...that he really blew it tonight

when he got out of the van?

And that he knows Norah probably

never wants to see him again...

...and he'd like to apologize to her

in person.

Really?

Yeah, where are you?

Did you leave the city?

- I'm at Veselka.

- What are the cross streets?

Second and Ninth.

Okay, well, don't leave.

I'm gonna come over, okay?

In the meantime,

could you pass that message on?

Hey.

I have a confession to make.

Oh, you do?

I like your jacket.

- Oh, thanks. Well, it's not mine.

- It should be.

It belongs to Salvatore.

Well, he told me

that he wants you to keep it.

He does?

- Yeah, he thinks it looks better on you.

- That's nice.

But don't tell his wife,

because she gets crazy.

- And jealous.

- She's hostile?

- Is this your gum here?

- Don't touch it. I'm not done.

It must maintain its freshness.

So I also have a confession.

- Before Tal, I never really...

- What?

- Kissed anyone else till tonight.

- Really?

Yeah.

Unless you count Becca Weiner

at camp when I was 13.

- I do count Becca Weiner.

- You do?

I don't know who wouldn't. You'd

have to be a fool not to count her.

- How long were you guys together?

- Three campfire-y nights.

Oh, me and Tal? I knew that.

Three years total.

Friends with benefits?

I guess.

Well, what are the benefits?

Yeah, that's crossed my mind.

I don't know.

I don't know.

He's just always been there...

...and you just feel ignored

for long enough...

...and it's just nice

to feel special sometimes.

What is it that keeps two people

together for such a long time...

...when it's just not working?

I can call my parents and ask them.

- Do you wanna go somewhere?

- Yeah.

Where do you wanna go?

Anywhere. I mean,

it's only 4 in the morning.

Where do you wanna go?

Somewhere nobody we know

will find us.

Yeah.

I'll drive.

Aren't you impressed

that I drive stick like a pro?

This is amazing. You are literally

like my musical soul mate.

It's unbelievable.

Except for all the Cure.

What's wrong with the Cure?

There's nothing wrong with the Cure,

actually, but just the name.

You know, the Cure?

What are they the Curing?

Get it? They should be called

the Cause, right?

Maybe I'll take this for a bit

and you can focus on driving.

What, you don't like

my sweet grooves?
