Would you like to tour with Bush?” (Normal voice) Now, Melissa, I want to ask you, do you think we should, like, tour with Bush?
Audience screams.
MADM: I don’t know.
CL: I’m asking Melissa, she doesn’t even know this.
MADM: They would know better than I do.
CL: They don’t know, like, it’s just…
MADM: I don’t know anything about them touring with us at all. ??

Audience screams.
CL: Like, I don’t know. After our other tour.

CL: Yeah.
CL: I made out with, um, Matt McConaughey once. (Laughs) I did – ask him. I’m from here, ’cause I made out with him, right? You don’t care who I made out with, right? Liars. You know, between all of us on this stage, we could tell you who we made out with and you’d be so fucking impressed. To come from scum and make out with Matt McConaughey is an achievement, I’m sorry.
Audience screams.
CL: I didn’t marry him, don’t get loud. We just made out, like, once. ?? fucking Texans. He’s a good kisser, right?
She changes the lyrics in the next song to “I am the girl, I made out with McConaughey.”

CL: This is so cute, this tiara thing. I only did it once, you guys. Let me take off my boots. Yo, help me with my boots, ’cause they’re…I got these boots today from…from, um, the Gucci company and I think they’re kind of stupid, but they were free, so…I’m taking ’em off now. Fuck these boots. Fucking Gucci. I feel phony with Gucci on my body. I ain’t Posh Spice. No, no, no. Don’t do that. Just do that one. Just get them off, Val. These people are waiting for some entertainment.
MADM: This is what good men do for us – they unlace our boots. That’s a…that’s a fine one. Good man.
CL: Alright, Melissa, just shut up and do it yourself. Go to the other side.
MADM: A little intermission with our friend Evan, who is a cute guy and uh…
CL: You have 30 seconds or I quit this band.
MADM: Enter Eric.
CL: I’m gonna quit, I’m walking off, unless you do it right now…one, two, THREE…you fuck…
