CL: Is this broken? ‘Cause I’ll just stop the show. Right where you were, keep going up. Fuck. I’m really, really sorry. I’m sorry, I’m retarded and I just need a teleprompter and it’s stupid…can you move to the next song, please? I’m like a robot, I can play that same song over again. I see Miss World. You guys, you can stand here, but when Taylor rolls it up to Miss World, then we can play the song.
CL: Hi, you guys. How you doing?
Audience screams.
CL: Are you happy to see us?
Audience screams.
CL: Good, we’re very happy to see you. Um, I’m just waiting for the beginning of this song to come up so I can see it. I’m fine, let’s just talk for awhile ’til they get it together. Roll it to the top of Nobody’s Daughter or I’ll fly someone out here.

CL: We could have a group meeting. No, we’re gonna play another song, it’s just I’m dependent on the teleprompter. So there he is. Can I have my guitar, please? ‘Cause we’re not playing without my guitar. Yeah, but it’s supposed to be a solid set, so don’t blame me.
