"I ate nine pies and a meatball hero in one hour." "That's a record." "It wasn't nine pies." "It was eight." "You left two slices of mushroom on the last tray." " Violet?" " You guys, it was six pies." "No hero." "I had to call the paramedics to pump your stomach, and it was three and a half years ago." "When are you guys gonna talk about something else?" "When someone comes through that door and breaks the record, then we'll stop talkin' about the subject." "Enjoy your pie, guys." " It's the last one I'll ever serve." " Aren't you forgetting something?" "Quit it, Pete." "I'm not doin' that." "It's a tradition." "Sign the card." "I got it, folks." "I got the first autograph." " Hey, Violet." "All right!" " Violet's on her way to the wall." "That's 20 years of girls leaving town." "That wall is jinxed." "I won't sit near that wall." "Let's hope you have better luck than they did."

"Now, I think it's only fair that tonight, on her last night with us in Jersey, she grace us with a little tune." "No way!" "At first I was afraid I was petrified " "Kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side" "Then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong " "And I grew strong and I knew how to get along" " No, not I " " I will survive " " Oh, as long as I know how to love I know I'll be alive " "I got all my life to live I got all my love to give" " I'll survive I will survive " "Look at this!" "Four people killed last night in New York." "No reason at all." "Police have no leads." " Tragic." " Dad, what're you doin?" "I guess four out of seven million ain't so bad." "Headlines should read, " Millions Survive Night in New York."" "Dad, stop." "I get the point." "Here." "Eat your eggs." "They're not eggs." "They're egg whites." "And I'd rather eat the carton." "You've already lost six pounds." "You're staying on this diet." "No fast food." "No sausage." "Oh, and I bought you some of those Lean Cuisine meals, and I put 'em in the freezer." " My mouth is watering already." " And I lined your vitamins up on the counter." " I don't take vitamins." " You do now." "Just take them." "Oh, and I put fresh batteries in the TV remote and set the V.C.R. timer so" "Excuse me." "Excuse me." "Am I missing something here?" "I'm the parent." "You're the child running away to live by herself." "I should be tellin' you how to live." "Fine." "How should I live?" " Simple." "Don't go." "I got that Irish Spring you like." "Oh." "And Dad, whatever you do" " Don't do the laundry." " Don't do the laundry." "Just leave it by the dryer and I'll do it when I come home every Sunday." "Ah, this is interesting." "They say the handrails on the subway system could one day lead to an outbreak of plague." "Dad." "Look." "You said I could be whatever I wanna be." "I never said songwriter in New York City." "That's the exception." "You said anything, and I believed you, so" "I'm not leavin' this house without your support." " That's Gloria." "What's it gonna be?" "Violet, I saw how hard it was for your mother when she didn't make it." "But if she was here, she'd tell me to shut up, wish you luck and give you a big hug." "I'm not gonna give you a big hug, and I'm not gonna wish you luck, but..." "I am gonna shut up, sit here with my coffee and pretend to be mad." "Is that okay?" "This is the last of it." " Honey, are you okay with that?" " Yeah, I got it." "I got it." "Wait." "All right." "That's everything." " Let's hit it." " Good luck." "There, I said it." " Love you." " Put some pepper spray in your purse." "Even if you're not sure." "Just start spraying." "You know, you're not alone, Mr. Sanford." "Hey, you know, me and you should have dinner sometime." "I'm lockin' the doors."

"This is it." "What do you think?" "I had a feeling you were gonna need this." " What are you doing?" " What?" "It's just some emergency cash I saved up." "Honey, from the looks of this place, I'd say this is our emergency." "Well, I'm not takin' it." "Fine, then." "I'm freezing your assets." "So, thanks for everything." " I'll call ya." "What is this?" "It's just that all our lives, you know, we always had one thing in common, you and me." "What are you talking about?" "It's like, you know we said we wouldn't lose our virginity... until we got married, and that didn't happen." "And then we said we'd go to college or junior college... or dental hygienist school, you know." "And that didn't happen." "We've never followed through on a single thing, you know." "And I think that's what makes us so special." "And this is why you're crying?" "Well... a long time ago you told me that you were gonna move to New York." "But everyone thought you'd just stay in Jersey and get married like me and Danny are gonna." "You know." "And" " And look at you." "No matter what, you really did it right, and I'm so proud of you." "Enough!" "You hear me?" "You be quiet!" "Enough in there!"

"So for the last 1 6 years I been raising' my daughter all by myself." "And then two weeks ago she tells me that she is a bisexual... and that she hates me more than any person on this planet." "Now, tell me how I can help you, please, because I am dying to make your dreams come true." "You don't take the tape unless it comes from an agent, but I can't get an agent until I get published?" "If we were to listen to that tape, that would give you grounds... for a copyright or plagiarism lawsuit." "It's just a little tape." "All I want is someone to sing my songs." "Welcome to the music business." " Good evening." "I.D., please." " Hi." "Uh, sure." " Maybe " "Find a way to make it back someday" " What can I get you?" " Let me ask you something." "I'm a songwriter." "Is there someone here I could talk to about my songs?" "I've been a struggling sax player for 1 2 years." " What can I get you from the bar?" " Pepsi and some crackers." " Hey." "How are you doing?" "Then I hope there's someone out there " "Excuse me." "Who's that guy?" "That would be Mr. O'Donnell." "Mr. O'Donnell." "He's the manager or something?" "Yeah." "He's the music manager." "He's in charge of finding bands and... booking new talent." "Run away with my heart" "Run away with my hope" "Hey, where the hell were you, O'Donnell?" "I got 15 orders stacked up here and nobody to run the grill." "Fifteen orders, Walt." "Is that all?" "Gimme ten minutes, I'll catch us up." "Go on." "Lie down." "Relax." "You look tired." "We can talk about my raise later." "You think this is Australia?" "There's no raise." "I'm about to fire you." "Um, excuse me." "Mr. O'Donnell?" " Yes." " Mr. O'Donnell." "My name is Violet Sanford." "I'm a songwriter." "I just wanted to give this to you." "I know it's not the most professional way to submit a tape." " But this is all pretty new to me." " It's pretty new to me too." "I just figured as the manager of a club like this, you must know every band on the East Coast." "The manager..." "of this club." "Um" " You guys go ahead." "I'll catch up." " Sure thing." "Mr. O'Donnell." "I don't usually do this, Violet." "Um, but I" " I have a feeling about you." " So I'm gonna take your tape, and I'm gonna see what I can do." " Thank you." "I can't believe how easy this was." "Neither can I." "Uh, you wanna go for some coffee or something?" "O'Donnell, who do I look like?" "Your god damn maid?" "That's Mr. O'Donnell, but I'll let it slide this time." "I told you to take your stuff home and wash it." "You got cow grease caked on the front." "Walt, I've warned you about your attitude" " You're fired." "Oh, you better not push me, kid." "I can find a hundred other little punks like you, can burn a turkey burger." "Minimum wage punk."

" Did I mention how sorry I am?" "I mean, not that it's all my fault." "You did throw yourself at me." "I didn't throw myself at you." "I was pretending to be sweet and innocent so you'd give me a break." " Can I ask you a question?" " What?" "Is there a reason we just walked in a circle?" "Are you lost?" "I'm not lost." "Somebody just moved my street." "You" " You wanna play a game?" "I bet I can guess where you're from." "I'm about to get out my pepper spray." "I reckon you're from a big city." "And there's no sign from here of a belly button ring... or a tongue piercing." " I gotta go with Chicago." " Okay." "I've never had anyone stare at my ass for half an hour, so I'm gonna say good night." "And I'm hoping you're gonna say it back." "Okay." "I can take a hint." "I really do know a lot of people in the music business." "You just don't give up, do ya?" " Well, it was the sweet and innocent thing." "It did me in." " Good night, Kevin."

" Breakfast, lunch and two dinners." " That's four dates!" "Yep." "Which would make it the second longest relationship I've ever had." " Get in the car." "Oh, I hate to spoil your evening, but it looks like we're not gonna go anywhere." "Oh, my God." "It's hard to find parking in New York." "You ever eaten Turkish?" "This is the place." " Hey." "How you doin'?" " Hi, Kevin." " Four of the regular?" " Sure, yeah." "Hey." " Hey, Kevin." "How are you, man?" " How you doin', man?" "Good." "Here it is, man." "Flown in from Miami."

" Worth a thousand bucks." " A comic book." "No, it's not just a comic book." "This is the first appearance of the Punisher." "This is the holy grail of comic books." " You collect comic books." "That's so cute." " Yeah." "It's not cute." "It's very rugged and manly." " It's just a bit kinky." "Huh?" " I think it's sweet." "So, do you always eat breakfast on the hood of your car?" "What can I say?" "I'm a romantic." "You think this is romantic?" "Well, you may not be feeling it now, but I think one day..." "you'll be on stage singing a song about this very night." " Mmm." ""When We Were Downwind From a Trash Barge."" "Yeah." "Catchy title." "Hum a few bars." "Sorty to disappoint you, but I'm a songwriter, not a singer." "When I get on stage, I freeze." "What if the fate of the free world rested on your voice?" "Okay." "If the fate of the free world depended on me singing, maybe." "All I ever really wanted is to sit in the dark... and hear someone great singing my songs." "I wanna be the one who writes the music." "I remember the first time my mother played me " Bridge Over Troubled Water"... by Simon and Garfunkel." "I remember exactly what she was wearing." "I remember exactly how her hair smelled." "I remember exactly how I felt." "And every time I hear that song," "I remember exactly what she was wearing... and exactly how her hair smelled... and exactly how I felt." "'Cause the great songs last forever." " So, what's the problem?" " Well... now they're telling me the only way to get my songs heard... is to go out there and sing 'em myself." "So we're gonna have to try fix this little problem straight away." "Hmm." "And how do you propose we do that?" "Well, is there any place you feel comfortable singing?" " The shower." " We'll start there." "I mean, I don't care how long it takes, how many hours we have to spend in that shower." " Let's get to it." " Okay." "Before we hit the showers, maybe you could tell me a little something about yourself." "Oh, really?" "What do you wanna know?" "What part of Australia are you from?" "I'm from all over." "My family moved around a lot." "So the rest of your family doesn't live in New York?" "Do you always ask this many questions?" "Do you always dodge this many questions?" "You can at least tell me where you got all the moves you pulled on the bar tonight." "Well, if I told you, I'd have to kill you." " That's original." " Oh." "The sun's coming up." "We're gonna be late." "Late?" "Late for what?" "This is incredible." " Look at that fish!" " All right." "Put this on." "You're gonna need it." "Why?" "What are you talking about?" "You're gonna help me unload the next bin." " You're joking, right?" " No." "It's not that bad, Vi." " I do it all the time." " Exactly how many jobs do you have?" "Tuesday through Saturday, I'm at the club." "Sunday and Monday I park cars at the plaza." "I've been a telemarketer." "Would you like to switch to ATT?" "And for six terrifying hours I delivered phonebooks in Queens." "Don't forget your extensive work in fish." "This is an expensive city, and these guys pay cash." "I don't care if they pay in lobster." "I'm not sticking my hands in that fishy bin." "I was gonna split the money with you." "A hundred bucks apiece." " A hundred bucks?" " Wait, wait." "Why didn't you say so?" " Thanks, Dan." "You're not ready, are you?" "Fifty bucks." "Wait." "No." " Twenty-five, ten." "Ready?" " Okay." "Uh-huh." "Ooh!" "That's disgusting." "Hey, you'll hurt their feelings." "Okay." "Just on top of the other fish." "So, I know I just met you a few days ago." "There's something I have to tell you." "You smell really bad." "Well, so do you." "I mean, I was gonna kiss you good-bye, but, um, I thought I might gag." "You're a real charmer." "Okay." "Good night." "Good morning." "Don't look at me like that." "Spend it." " What are you doing here?" " I changed my mind about this kiss." "I think we should give it a shot." "Well, have a nice day." ""Have a nice day"?" "Yeah." "I panicked." "I didn't know what else to say." "Have a nice day." "All right." "Back of the line over here." "Back of the line." "Yeah!" "Whoa!" "Whoa!" " Yeah, I like it!" " Yeah!" " Hey, baby!" " Make a hole." "Make a hole!" " Shit, the cops are here." " Nobody else gets in here." "Look at this place." "Hey, Lil." "I'm sorty." "There's nothing we can do here." "You're 50 people over max." "They're trying to shut us down." "Let's go outside and talk." "I'll take care of it." "Hey!" "Hey!" " This is not a gas pump, son!" "Wait your turn!" " Hey, no pictures, man!"

"I-I can't sing my own songs." "I never could." "Well, that's too bad, because they've requested to hear your songs." "Be gentle on the keyboard." "I borrowed it from the club." "You did all this just to help me sing?" "I thought maybe we could cure that stage fright I've heard so much about." "Kevin, I wish you could." "Come on, let me try." "Tell me what it feels like." "You really wanna know?" "Yeah." "You asked for it." "What are you doing?" "The only way I can show you... is to make you... really... nervous."

"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 song writer." "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?"

"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." "So wish me good luck." " Good luck." "Anyway, um, I'll call you and tell you how it goes."

" Sing for quarters in the park?" " Well, at least you'd be singing your own songs." "I told you I can't do that, so stop pushing!" "I'm just asking you to try, but I guess that's asking a bit too much." "Right." "It's so easy to be you, isn't it?" "You have no dreams, no hopes, no chance of getting hurt." "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."

"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 shit 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."

" 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'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."

"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."
