Audience: Fuck you!
CL: Oh, that feels so good. FUCK YOU! It’s a lovely endearment. It’s what I heard growing up every day. (CUT)
– MISS WORLD
CL: (To Micko) Wait, you can’t put both of those songs together. Why did you make this setlist without me?
Micko’s response is inaudible.
CL: I…well then, let’s do Letter to God.
(CUT)

CL: (CUT) really easy and I used to think this song was hard to sing and play and it’s fucking easy.
– CELEBRITY SKIN
CL: Alright, this is a quiet song. It’s a Leonard Cohen…cover and it’s not fucking Hallelujah. So shut up. (Fake Southern accent) I grew up on this shit.
CL: Have you ever been, like, totally in love with someone and they didn’t love you back? Yes? Ok, this is that song.
(CUT)

After singing, “I want to be the girl with the most,” she says, “What?”
After singing, “Someday you will ache like I ache,” she says, “You will.”
