Girl in Crowd: She sounds just like Kurt.

CL: (Singing) Where do bad folks go when they die, they don’t go to heaven where the angels…

Guy in Crowd: (Singing) They go to a lake of fire and die.

CL: Ok here, we’re gonna do a thing. (Singing) (The audience sings along) Where do bad folks go when they die, they don’t go to heaven where the angels fly, they go to a lake of fire and fry, see ’em again on the fourth of July.

CL: Thank you. Thank you guys.

-JENNIFER’S BODY

Girl in Crowd: Pretty On the Inside!

Girl in Crowd: Teenage Whore!

Girl in Crowd: Courtney, you’ve never had an ugly moment in your whole life! You’re beautiful!

Girl in Crowd: We love you!

CL: What…why are those people in the pen over there? Are they young or something?

Girl in Crowd: They’re old!

CL: Are they juvenile? Wait, no, the people behind the pen – what are they?

Audience: Old!

MADM: They’re drinkers. They’re drinkers. It’s the drinking age.

CL: This song’s about me.

CL: (Panting) All girls fake it.

Audience screams.

CL: Never had a real one in my life.

-SOFTER SOFTEST

MADM: You guys notice that you’re all red? There’s a crazy red light on you.

Guy in Crowd: That was really cool, uh, Lake of Fire. When we sang Lake of Fire.

CL: What?

MADM: They’re all red.

CL: Oh. Maybe they’re satanic or something.

MADM: Satan. Say-tan.

(Cut)

Girl in Crowd: I thought this song ruled.

Girl in Crowd: Huh?

Girl in Crowd: I thought this song ruled.

Guy in Crowd: Good Sister/Bad Sister!

CL: ?? the middle.

CL: Just for comments alone, you guys…ok, not all of you, but a few of you…the rudest audience in eight weeks.

Audience cheers.

Guy in Crowd: Yeah!

CL: 85 percent, I would say ?? – there’s a little area right over here. Yeah, would you guys like…are you guys frat guys at the local university? ‘Cause I’ll show you what date rape is.

Girl in Crowd: I’ll show you what?

Girl in Crowd: What are they doing?

Guy in Crowd: I don’t know.

CL: Why do you come to the front – to pinch girl’s tits? You are so at the wrong show to do that. See, I’m not really a girl, I’m packing – about nine inches. How come you think I get all those hot rock star boys, huh? They’re all fags. You throw one more fucking thing at me and we’re not playing anymore ?? Ok, we’re gonna get real sensitive, oh wait ??

-DOLL PARTS

CL: We can’t do an encore, ’cause the cops will, um ’cause…well, ’cause…’cause Frances shit her pants in the airport in L.A. and we missed the plane, that’s the real reason, but we’re…so we can’t do an encore. It’s a stupid tradition anyway, we leave the stage, you know we’re coming back. It’s just a really dumb bar tradition, let’s be punk about it, come on. Oh wait, you want me to get arrested? I would love to get arrested, except when I get arrested, I’m a mother, so The National Enquirer, you get it – shut up!

-VIOLET

Someone in Crowd: Eric!

CL: We just wrote this. We just wrote this – it reminds me of a Journey song, which is really cool.

Guy in Crowd: Did she say Journey?

-NEVER GO AWAY

-OLYMPIA/HUSH LITTLE BABY

CL: (During song) (Panting) I faked it every fucking time!

Screeching feedback.

Someone: Long live Sub Pop! Long live 1988, when we were…

CL: We will be headlining Lollapalooza! Yes, you will be paying tons of money to me!
