Girl: You are so cool!
CL: You’ve gotta shut up and sit down. If you’re gonna be on this stage, you shut up and you sit down.
CL: You guys are the first-night ticket buyers and so you’re so much cooler than last night, which was all guest list. I want her too – c’mere, really quick, over here. Thank you.

CL: This is Val, he’s my slave. Pull that for me, Val. See, he does everything I tell him to do…sort of. Hi! If you can make it in the pit and you’re not crazy, they’ll put you on the stage.
Audience screams.
CL: And the only people they’re gonna think are crazy are people that are over 6 feet and male, so don’t even try – but if you’re under 6 feet of any sex and you can make it in the pit, I swear to you, it’s my guarantee of this show, I want you on my stage. We want you on our stage. Is that understood? You guys down there. That girl right there, she can’t come up, ’till we’re full. What the fuck? I don’t care. Sit down. Just sit.
CL: I didn’t write this song, Elvis Presley did. Check it out.

CL: (During song) You have to sit right there.
CL: You guys, if you come up on stage, you have to hug Eric. That’s the whole deal. ‘Cause Eric is the most…he…he gets more shit than any man in the world. You have to hug Eric if you’re gonna stay on stage. Bitch, go hug Eric or you can’t…I’m gonna kick you off. Oh my God, it’s you. Go hug Eric or I’ll kick your ass off. Hug Eric or you’re dead.
CL: Can you imagine being Eric? He gets so much shit. Me, her, and her – it’s no fun.
