** Violet says "I love you" re: Cammy helping her out. She takes it the wrong way, insists she's not a lesbian and then whispers "I've played in the minor leagues but I've never gone pro". Violet's response is a non verbal FlatWhat.
** Thanks to Violet, Lil is facing a $250 fine from the health department, and says that Violet has the rest of the night to make it. It's also timed to Kevin finding her there, and he says he'd like to help. Cue Violet getting a mischievous look on her face and announcing to the bar that they're now having an auction to have Kevin for the night.
--> "It's payback time, Mr O'Donnell."
** Despite Kevin's reluctance at first, he adorkably gets into it, performing a striptease and dance routine on the bar for some equal opportunity {{Fanservice}}. Even Lil, who the money is ''owed'' to, puts in a bid for $200. Doubles as Awesome for Violet finally catching a break, and Heartwarming for how quickly they raise the money, and the high five she gets from Lil.

Is she actually bisexual and in denial about it, since at the time [[NoBisexuals a lot of people still insisted it didn't exist]]? Or is she referring to FauxYay that she and Rachel may have done on the bar?

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Some find Violet to be a relatively weak protagonist who stumbles into her end goal without really growing as a person. While she does display character at times, such as actively pursuing her barmaid job and proving herself adept at breaking up customer fights, those character traits never seem to carry over to her main pursuit in songwriting. No matter how capable she discovers herself to be as a person generally, she's still always ready with her FreudianExcuse of stage fright. In addition to letting the barmaid job sidetrack her from her true passion for most of the film, she very nearly quits music altogether, only getting back on track through interference from other characters.

* BestKnownForTheFanservice: The sexy women table dancing in tight leather pants does not make up as much screen time as pop culture would have you believe.
* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: During a montage of Violet writing songs, there are a couple of shots of her and the rest of the Coyotes playing baseball, including Cammie stripping to distract her opponents. The change in setting is pretty jarring and doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the montage, except maybe showing Violet bonding with the girls.
