During the song, Courtney stops singing and goes over to pull a girl out of the audience. She gestures at her to sit on the stage.
Girl in Crowd: How cool was that? How cool was that?
Guy in Crowd: I want to see Courtney Love’s tits!
Guy in Crowd: Come on, you fucking bitch!
CL: We love being the only girls…and boy. (Laughs)
Courtney walks over to the audience.
CL: You guys are living like animals right there. I’m trying to figure out how to make trouble and I just…it’s too dan…I don’t know how. It’s too much.
Guy in Crowd: Show us your tits!
-PRETTY ON THE INSIDE
-HEAVEN TONIGHT
During the song, Courtney climbs up the stage rigging.
CL: Oh, I hate the day. I hate being hot. Why the fuck did I agree to do this?
Guy in Crowd: Show us your tits!
CL: I’m gonna faint. You see this – this is why we don’t play in the fucking day, whoever the promoter is. I’m about to fucking faint.
MADM: We did it ’cause we had to rock Wisconsin.
CL: I have no energy to make any trouble, therefore I cannot put on a good show.
MADM: And uh…Minnesota. That’s why. Wisconsin and Minnesota, we love to rock you.
CL: No day shows!
MADM: It’s true. We…we suffer in the sun for you and you for us. Thank you.
CL: We are vampires and we cannot come out in the day.
CL: A lot of you guys need to cut your hair and shave off those fucking mustaches. I know we’re in the…you know, sticks, but dude, get rid of the fucking mullet. Yeah, dude. Fuck, I’m glad you’re not my stepdad.
-MISS WORLD
During the song, Courtney slings off her guitar and climbs down into the audience, continuing to sing.
CL: (During song) Thank you.
CL: Oh, I don’t know if this is gonna be a show that we can finish playing. I don’t know…I don’t know how to throw them out. I’d beat the fuck out of ’em if I could. Well, tell Steven, don’t tell me, what am I, your Mom? Go tell somebody else. It’s hot, the promoter put me on in the day, we suck. Do you guys like it?
Audience screams.
CL: Yeah. Girls like it, some boys like it, some boys are a little threatened, a little threatened that the most big selling band on this fucking thing has titties. (She pulls down her top, flashing one of her breasts).
CL: Does that scare you? Little weasel.
-REASONS TO BE BEAUTIFUL
During the song, more girls are brought up from the audience to sit on stage. Courtney wraps a roll of toilet paper around her mic stand.
CL: Oh yeah.
CL: I’m gonna die.
Eric wipes his face with a towel. Courtney holds ice wrapped in a towel up to her face.

Opening chords to Malibu.

Guys in the audience are chanting, “Strip!”
MADM: I bet you can’t wait ’til the sun goes down so you can see Def Leppard, right?
There are some cheers from the audience.
MADM: Right.
CL: Def Leppard is so good.
MADM: (Singing) Pour some sugar on me…
CL: Fuck you guys, Def Leppard…you better fucking rock one out for Def Leppard or I’m walking.
MADM: Rock, rock, rock.
CL: Oh, it’s so uncool to like Def Leppard, they actually write songs. Those are real songs. Def Leppard’s one of the greatest bands of the 80s, you little shits, and if you don’t agree with me, I’m leaving.
Guy in Crowd: Yeah! Leppard, Leppard.
CL: No man, we want Britney Spears.
CL: (Singing) Pour some sugar on me. Come on, want me…
Courtney puts a towel around her neck.
CL: Just fuck you guys, you’ll grow up some day.
-DYING
During the song, Courtney wipes her face and neck with the towel. She takes off her fairy wings. Confetti pours down.
CL: You guys should really complain to your promoters. I would love to play for you for two hours.
Audience screams.
CL: But because he’s given you conditions like fucking animals, I have never seen such bad conditions at a concert in my life, I’ll let some other band up here, I can’t do it anymore, so this is our last song.
Eric comes over to Courtney.
CL: I’m not doing it.
Guy in Crowd: Fucking try!
CL: When somebody wants to treat kids with some fucking respect, I’ll play longer, ok.
-CELEBRITY SKIN
During the song: Another girl is brought up on stage. Courtney climbs up the stage rigging.
MADM: Hide from the sun, everybody. Goodnight. Thank you. Rock with the Def Leppard.
Samantha takes a video camera from a woman who had been recording the show on stage. Courtney goes over to the audience and gives a guitar to a girl with long, dark hair. The girl comes back on stage with her and holds the guitar triumphantly over her head.
CL: Thank you, sorry we were cranky, we’re usually really good. THANK YOU!
