Plot summary
Nick O'Leary, a teenager from New Jersey, plays bass in the queercore band The Jerk-Offs and keeps making mix CDs for Tris, the girlfriend who dumped him. Norah Silverberg goes to the Convent of the Sacred Heart with Tris and Caroline, and she has been retrieving those discs from the trash because she likes his taste in music. At a club where the band plays, Tris taunts Norah about having no boyfriend, so Norah asks Nick to pretend to be hers for five minutes. Caroline drinks too much, and Thom and Dev offer to drive her home while urging Nick and Norah to search New York for the secret show of the band Where's Fluffy?.

Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (2008)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Sollett claimed that everything Graynor did in the movie was her own invention. She improvised an entire scene at the Port Authority Bus Station that was not in the script, and when Caroline vomits, Graynor held a mixture of ginger ale and ginger cookie in her mouth.
- Rafi Gavron, who plays Jerk-Offs singer Dev, recorded one of the band's songs at Electric Lady Studios, and while filming the concert at Don Hill's in New York the bar's owner, Don Hill, mistook him for a professional musician despite Gavron calling himself a useless singer.
- Kevin Corrigan agreed to cameo as Man at Port Authority so long as he had no speaking lines; his turkey sandwich scene, which was not scripted, was entirely improvised by Graynor.
- Cera had never driven a stick shift vehicle before, and was taught to drive one so that he could be shot driving Nick's Yugo.
- Union Pool, a bar in Brooklyn, was used for filming but requested to be called Brooklyn Pool in the film, and Norah's father's recording studio was filmed at Electric Lady Studios.
