The song stops.
CL: That was beautiful. Didn’t you give me syphilis once?
Audience laughs.
CL: I think I remember your face, but…
-PLUMP
CL: Thanks.
CL: How come San Francisco has industry weasels and it’s not L.A. or New York? I’m really curious about that concept. They’re all up there. What? I don’t understand what they do. ??
-MISS WORLD
CL: Thanks. Patty, that was very good. Sorry about the little fuck up.
Guy in Crowd: New York sucks! San Francisco’s ??
CL: I lived in New York. I was born here, in San Francisco. Four blocks away, in fact.
Guy in Crowd: In what part?
-JENNIFER’S BODY
Guy in Crowd: You guys are too fucking quiet!
CL: That’s because there’s a law – the opening bands have to be quieter than the headliner.
Guy in Crowd: What a guy!
CL: That’s because Evan has a stack – and I have a half stack, and so does Eric. See that – that’s a stack. That’s a half stack.
Guy in Crowd: Get a stack!
CL: No, I don’t want a stack.
Guy in Crowd: Yes, you do! You want a stack.
CL: This is our new sell-out sound. You’re just gonna have to get used to it. I’m sorry.
Guy in Crowd: Ok.

-ASKING FOR IT
Guy in Crowd #1: Fuck yeah!
Guy in Crowd #2: Doll Parts!
CL: What if Shannen Doherty comes again tonight? She came the other night. She came to meet Evan, but she didn’t know who he was and she went into the dressing room after he was on stage. I’m not trying to put her down, I just want to impress her with my new lipstick.
-SHE WALKS ON ME
CL: Thank you.
Guy in Crowd: How’s Kurt?
Guy in Crowd: Kurt!
CL: Don’t you think that’s kind of a lame thing to say to someone? The guy that said that – don’t you think that’s kinda lame?
Girl in Crowd: Totally.
Girl in Crowd: Yeah.
CL: To say my husband’s name when I’m on stage?
Guy in Crowd: Courtney.
CL: I am who I fuck. Oh, I didn’t know that. Thank you for letting me know.
CL: Well, I guess that means I’m him, ’cause we fuck.
Guy in Crowd: Kurt!
