Joel is just about to leave for work when Amber pulls up with coffee and a smile. Joel knows something's up, and indeed it is: Amber's hoping Joel will give Ryan a job. Joel has no openings, but he does have a soft heart, so he relents, telling Amber to have Ryan show up at the construction site tomorrow. Later at The Luncheonette, Glen Hansard is regaling Crosby with tales of his troubadour life, when Amber runs breathlessly into the studio with an emergency. Marlyse has called a tow truck, and Glen's car is seconds away from being towed out of the alley. Crosby tries to bribe the tow truck driver, but no dice.
