Sean

So, is Ali short for anything?

Ali

Oh, yeah, it's short for Alice.

Sean

Alice, hm? Well, welcome to Wonderland.

Ali

Jack, why did you leave Kentucky?

Well, why did you leave Iowa?

Ali

Because I looked around and realized there wasn't one person whose life I wanted.

Exactly.

[annoyed]

Didn't your mama ever tell you it's not polite to stare?

Ali

You-You're just so damn beautiful, I...

Well in that case, screw your mama and stare away.

Ali

No one would ever know.

Know what?

Ali

That you're a dude.

[Ali is auditioning]

Hey Dave, cut it.

Ali

H-hold on a second, I can do this!

And I think that it's sweet that you think that you can.

Wow. I can't believe Tess has you buried in the kick line.

Ali

She didn't know I sang.

Well, you certainly can. And you are way too good to be doing it here.

Ali

Morning! Coffee?

Black. Like my soul.

Ali

I took the liberty of making breakfast. I hope you don't mind. It's the least I could do.

Smells great.

Ali
[referring to photo at kitchen counter]

She's pretty. Your sister?

Fiancée.

Ali

You're straight?

You thought I was gay?

Ali

Yeah.

Wait, why?

Ali

I don't know. The day bed... the eyeliner...

It's a very straight look. You know, it works at the club, Tess loves it...

Ali

Okay. I should put on some pants.

Probably.

I'm just saying. Life is about the choices you make.

Ali

The choices I make? You're a bartender-slash-piano player, who writes songs that are never ready.
