On his way, Bret sings a song called "You Don't Have to be A Prostitute", similar to The Police's " Roxanne". Both Murray and Nigel tell Bret to go and stop him. Jemaine is noticeably absent and Bret tells Murray that he is out trying to prostitute himself.
At a band meeting, Murray introduces Nigel Seladu, whose investment offer has turned out to be legitimate and not a scam, and results in Murray earning more than enough money for the Conchords to pay their bills and buy back their guitars. Eugene advises him to go to a fancy hotel and try his luck.
He later ends up meeting his landlord, Eugene, who found his posting for a male prostitute service on the apartment's bulletin board. Jemaine, meanwhile, calls up an old girlfriend and leaves a message on her answering machine asking her if she wants to pay him for the sex they previously had during their relationship. This results in them playing a gig with both members on air guitar performing "Robots". At night, their apartment is still without power and Jemaine ends up selling his bass guitar. They then switch roles, but are unable to drum up any business. Trying their idea out, Jemaine approaches women on the street and asks them if they want to pay money to have sex with Bret, who is standing across the street. They then launch into a parody of " My Humps" by The Black Eyed Peas called "Sugalumps". Jemaine later suggests to Bret that they become male prostitutes, similar to the film Pretty Woman. Both Bret and Jemaine awkwardly try to give her a minimal contact massage while her husband, Doug, is nearby watching. When she learns they're having money troubles, she offers to pay them for a massage. Later on, Bret and Jemaine are confronted by Mel. Jemaine and Bret are certain that this is merely a scam. Nigel promised Murray his money back with "a thousand percent interest" and "a share of his family fortunes". When Bret asks Murray for some of the emergency band fund, Murray tells him that he invested the money with a Nigerian man named Nigel Seladu who contacted him over the internet. Murray writes up his negative opinion of the show in the New Zealand consulate newsletter, giving them "two stars out of 100". Bret ends up selling his guitar to pay the bills, and he performs on stage with Jemaine while playing air guitar and making guitar sounds. Immediately after finding this out, their power goes off. The phone company charges them a $30 overdraft fee, causing the cheque for their gas bill to bounce, and both services are scheduled to be cut off. A month later, they find out that their check for the phone bill bounced because their account was short $2.79. As the song ended, Bret was still skeptical, and said that Jemaine should be the prostitute.Bret buys a new cup for $2.79 so that he and Jemaine no longer have to share one cup. Dave also raps about how a customer of his shop sold his 'sugar lumps' to him for $10 and a frisbee. During the music video, Bret joined him in singing, and added his own rap which referenced the past song " The Prince of Parties". As they walked into a Chinese restaurant, Bret stated his skepticism about whether or not the scheme would work, because they "never get sex or get paid." Jemaine retorted by telling Bret that all the ladies were checking out his "sugalumps." Bret, confused, asked Jemaine what he meant, leading Jemaine to break out into song about his "sugalumps," a euphemism for his testicles. Jemaine and Bret, in dire financial straits, began discussing prostitution as a possible means of income. "Sugalumps" was featured in the episode The New Cup and is performed by Bret, Jemaine, and Arj Barker.
