But how would you think Kat would react once she knows that Patrick was getting paid to date her?

PS: Heath Ledger sings ‘Can't Take My Eyes Off You’ in front of the whole school to woo the woman he doesn’t know he is falling in love with. So if you don’t want to watch the film for the plot, watch it to see the romantic side of the Joker.
