"Sorry's Not Good Enough"

During the video, Tom is seen eating a meal with a girl (Sai Bennett) while the rest of the band play the song. As the video progresses, it is revealed that the restaurant in which the couple eat is actually just a set up and that the girl has her wrists fastened to the table with duct tape and her legs tied to the chair with duct tape leaving her unable to leave Tom. Then a video about the happy times when the two were together is projected on the wall. Tom takes the girl's hand and she starts to cry, but secretly manages to pull off the tape. When the video stops, she stands up and opens her arms, like she wants to hug Tom. But when he comes over to her, she kicks him and leaves the room.

"Friday Night"

"Friday Night" is featured in the movie Night at the Museum starring Ben Stiller, Robin Williams, and British comedians Ricky Gervais and Steve Coogan. It was released in North America on 22 December 2006, and in UK cinemas on Boxing Day, 26 December 2006.
