She walks closer to the audience to get a better look.
CL: You’re really like the only person that’s asked me in so long – I might actually do it (Laughs).
Eric makes sound effects with his guitar.

CL: Oh my God, someone threw a flannel on stage. I’m wearing it.
Courtney goes over and picks up the flannel.
CL: You guys, come on, it’s 1999, we can’t do this anymore, ok?
Courtney puts on the flannel.
CL: Check it out. Grunge.
-REASONS TO BE BEAUTIFUL
Courtney takes off the flannel near the end of the song, then puts it back on again.
CL: So obviously, that is a Seattle song. Now you know the truth. Ok, now we’re gonna move down south because we gotta get away from here sometimes, trust me.
CL: What?
She walks closer to the audience and leans down to hear someone, then she walks back to the mic.
CL: Um, guys who have been starting to like me lately, it’s really strange (Laughs). I’m so not used to it. ?? I only, um, understand girls. I don’t know what that means. Does that mean I’m like, buff or something? It freaks me out that you like me, I’m just…no offense. I’ll try and get used to it.

Audience screams.
CL: I’d like to move.
CL: See, you know, stage diving – it’s over. You’re seducing me into trying to stage dive and I won’t. It’s 1999, just get over it, youth (Laughs).
Opening chords to Asking For It.
CL: You’re freaking me out that you think I’m hot. You’re like a jock guy and you think I’m hot. It’s so scary.
-ASKING FOR IT
CL: (Singing) Touch me I’m sick, touch me I’m sick…
-USE ONCE & DESTROY
Courtney climbs up on a very high stack of speakers during the song and then jumps down.
After Use Once & Destroy, she puts the flannel back on and then a shoe that was thrown on stage. She picks up a shirt that has holes in it and looks at it, but doesn’t put it on.
CL: You know, I am gonna end up a bag lady ?? You fucker, what are you gonna do without a shoe? ?? Are you gonna go ?? And, you know, I know flannels, I’m a flannel expert and this is a bogus, like Eddie Bauer crap. I don’t even want it.
She throws the flannel back to the audience.
CL: Good flannels come from Value Village, ok?
CL: I wrote this song in this fucking 206 too…no, I didn’t actually. I wrote it about the 206, but I wrote it someplace else.
CL: You know what? When we’re done, some fucking guy with a blue head is gonna come out with a big sign that says ‘Drugs.’ It’s going to be really fun for you…not as fucking fun as us, ’cause we’re so deep.
-DOLL PARTS
Courtney laughs.
CL: You guys, what are you doing getting rid of your clothes? What? I don’t understand what that means. What? What does it mean if people throw their clothes? That’s never happened before.
She points to someone in the audience.
CL: Do you want to come on stage? Those two guys right there. Can you please let them go on stage? Those two – and they bought a T-shirt, they get a special come on stage.
CL: Man, I don’t understand. If people don’t like you, they throw bottles and shit, which ?? never happens, but this clothes thing in my hometown. I don’t understand. Oh, it’s grunge clothes, you guys! (Laughs) But there isn’t anymore grunge.
