After the love scene and aftermath, the film shows a montage of clips of Vi and Kev together, kissing on the street of NYC, the Coyotes involved in a friendly softball game, and other activities to show some time passing. Vi has felt a bit more comfortable at the CU bar, but there she’s still just singing karaoke, not her music. The following scene finds Kev and Vi shopping at a record store.

Kev:      I’ve got you a gig…there’s this club where a lot of music people hang out, called The Elbow Room—my friend’s the manager and he owes me a favor, and you’re in—next Thursday night.

Vi:        Are you forgetting about the stage fright?

Kev:      Uh, what about the bar?

Vi:        Come on, Kevin, all I do is sing along with the juke box.

Kev:      See? You’re making progress— (smiling) a few more nights at my place and you’ll be cured!

Vi:        I hate to burst your bubble…but I’ll never be cured. (shrugging) It’s genetic.

Kev:      (mockingly) Stage fright DNA—yes, I saw that on ER last week!

Vi:        Okay, laugh all you want, but my mom couldn’t do it and neither can I.

Kev:      So was your mother afraid to try?

Vi:        Look, I just want to be a songwriter—why won’t you give up on this?

Kev:      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…

Vi:        Or you’ll what?

Kev:      Or I’ll never kiss you again.

Vi:        That sounds like a threat, Mr. O’Donnell.

Kev:      Well, let’s just say…it’s gonna be quite a long, cold winter.

Vi:        (getting closer to him) That’s supposed to convince me?

Kev:      (taking her in his arms) It’s working, isn’t it? Your knees are getting weak…

Vi:        I’ll think about it.

Kev:      Try again—

Vi:        Uh…I’ll see if I can get off work…

Kev:      Getting’ warmer…(he pulls her closer, inches away from his face)

Vi:        Alright—you win…I’ll do it.

Kev:      Hmmm…I love winning!

[They embrace and kiss, oblivious to the customers around them.]
