-TEENAGE WHORE

-MISS WORLD

CL: Kristen, is your Mom there? Huh. Where’s your Mom?

KP: Hi, Mom.

CL: I think my baby’s cuter than Julian’s. Did you notice that, Kristen? Did you see Julian’s baby? I think my baby’s way cuter. (Note: Julian Cope was watching from the side of the stage).

-BEAUTIFUL SON

-VIOLET

CL: This song is dedicated to my first crush…sort of, I guess, not really. Go on – you can’t play it.

The opening chords of Do It Clean start.

CL: The greatest British band ever.

-DO IT CLEAN

-IMPROV (JUST THE SAME)

-PENNYROYAL TEA

CL: This is Kristen – and that’s Patty.

CL: Kristen sold out.

CL: Oh, is this the sort of punk rock song?

Girl in Crowd: Is Kurt with you Courtney?!

CL: No, but Julian will be right along.

-SHE WALKS ON ME

CL: (Looking at Kristen) You don’t have any manifestos? Oh, neither do I.

CL: Naming this fucking, um…Juliana Hatfield. (Laughs)

-SOFTER SOFTEST

CL: (To Kristen and Patty) Do Olympia.

CL: Let’s do, uh, Olympia. (Looking around at the band) Do both? Can we do both? Oh, that one’s too new wave. I feel like Pearl Jam ought to do that. Alright, I’m joking. They’re English, well…

-OLYMPIA

CL: Thanks. This is our last song, it’s kind of our new wave. Wait… (She turns around to talk to Patty) ?? Doll Parts ??

CL: I know, I know you’re all waiting for… Julian Cope (Coughs) to bother you.

CL: Why is he so mean to me? I was so nice to him, Julian. Kristen, do you have it…figured it out? I didn’t do anything to him. I used to bug him.

-GUTLESS

CL: ?? We only have one more song.

Guy in Crowd: We want you to stay, Courtney!

CL: ?? (To Patty) Well, if you want to just come up here and sing and I’ll go back there.

Patty laughs.

Guy in Crowd: Suck my dick!

CL: (To Kristen) Did you hear that one – suck my dick? Just want to stand here while I have sex with the kids? (Laughs)

CL: Sorry.

-DOLL PARTS

CL: Thank you.

Courtney swings her guitar and knocks over her mic stand.
