The Original Adam Garcia

Vi and her Dad subplot

There's no Adam in this bit either.!!!!!!

The montage has shown scenes to indicate time passing. Vi is more confident at the bar, a true coyote now, but when there she's still just singing karaoke, not her music.

Then there's a quick scene of Vi visiting her father at the toll booth where he works for the New Jersey Turnpike Authority. She's driving Kevin's car, and Dad can tell it's 'a guy's car." He asks whose it is, and she says "just a friend's." He then asks about the bar…if it's just a bunch of bankers who come by after work for martinis, and she replies something like, "Yeah, something like that."

Back at C.U., Dad Makes A Surprise Appearance It's another rowdy night at the bar, and Zoe (Tyra Banks) has returned as a customer. Lil uses the megaphone to announce that she's got a special surprise-Zoe's back from law school and will dance with the other coyotes. Zoe protests a bit, claiming she has classes the next day, but gets up on the bar anyway. They all dance and pour many pitchers of water over themselves, flinging their long hair all over spraying the customers, much to the hormone-crazed men's delight. The guys are all agog, as usual.

The camera cuts to the very crowded front door of Coyote Ugly, where Vi's dad has shown up and asks Lou if Violet Sanford works here. Lou shouts, over the crowd noise, "she's on the bar." Dad says, "On the bar?" and looks over to see his Violet, dressed in a tank top and mini-skirt, kneeling and writhing on the bar as the other coyotes pour more pitchers of water on her.

The camera cuts to Dad, now in the center of the crowd, his face twisted in disgust and shame, as he stares very disapprovingly at his daughter. Violet sees him, and rushes down off the bar, pleading with him that "it's not as bad as it looks! I just sing at this bar!" Dad holds up a newspaper, featuring a photo taken the night that Violet "calmed down" the crowd by singing the Debby Harry song, and says something like "All the guys at work have your picture up in their booths!" He turns in disgust and winds his way through the crowd.

The next scene shows Vi phoning her dad, but he won't pick up the phone. She's worried about him, but he continues to avoid her. She says she won't apologize, because she has nothing to be ashamed of. She tells him she's playing in a club tonight "where some important music people might hear me" but he still refuses to pick up.
