Audience screams.

Audience screams.
CL: I can’t see the, um…secret members of Pearl Jam that are back there.
Audience laughs.
Girl in Crowd: I love you, Courtney!

MADM: Juliette Lewis.
CL: Juliette Lewis. Came to our show. They’re all after Melissa. Drew, you know. Should we a play the Duran Duran song now?

-HUNGRY LIKE THE WOLF
-PRETTY ON THE INSIDE
-CREDIT IN THE STRAIGHT WORLD
CL: We didn’t write that song, but the guy that wrote it hates that we cover it, ’cause he said we made it like a pornographic Zeppelin song. So, I won’t say who it is, but the greeners love him. A pornographic Zeppelin – I don’t think that’s a bad thing. I love Zeppelin just as much as you…Stone Gossard…and I love Mudhoney so much that I ripped this song off when I was a young child.
-TEENAGE WHORE
-WHOSE PORNO YOU BURN (BLACK)

Eric plays the tune of If I Were a Rich Man, from the musical Fiddler on the Roof.
CL: Eric, would you stop that.
Audience laughs.
CL: It’s because I’m Jewish. He’s making fun of me. (Singing) Head like a hole…
CL: Do the…what? Say hi to who? To who? Happy birthday to who? Nina? Nina? Don’t say happy birthday to Nina? Why, ’cause she’s 34? Melissa, are you embarrassed to be in a band with me?
MADM: ?? No, no, no.
CL: Say it, say it – tell me.
MADM: It’s a privilege, Courtney.
CL: Oh, fuck you.
Audience laughs.
CL: Ok, you’re off salary. You get publishing.
Guy in Crowd: Nice moves!
CL: Shut up now, we’re getting sensitive.
-DOLL PARTS
-BIBLE BELT
CL: Oh, fuck. (Laughs)

Guy in Crowd: ??
CL: Oh, you’ll get your treat later.
Audience cheers.
Girl in Crowd: We’re The Tree People!
Guy in Crowd: Rock Star! Play Rock Star!

Courtney stage dives.
CL: Goodnight. Night night night night night night night night.
