Guy in Crowd: Yeah, I’m sure why.
CL: Scott is one of them…if you’re eating during this set I’m gonna find you and I’m gonna take your fucking cheese and wine and I’ll fucking stuff it up your ass. Don’t eat during my set.

CL: And the return of Miss PATTY FUCKING SCHEMEL!
Audience screams.
Girl in Crowd: Patty! Patty!
CL: The thing is though is that Perry’s trying to put us in our place tonight and, um, me and Steve and Patty are kind of rebelling it – we’ll leave Jerry out of it, but we’re gonna put Perry in his place, one Jewish broad versus another Jewish broad, we’ll see how it goes.
Guy in Crowd: Doesn’t that sound kind of similar to the Marilyn Manson ??
Girl in Crowd: Courtney!
Guy in Crowd: Ozzy!
CL: You want me to do a fucking oldie?
Audience screams.
CL: The thing is and I’m not gonna talk too much tonight, but Patty got the shaft on the last record – uh, oldest fucking rock trick in the book and, uh, she didn’t play, so…on the last record…so this is like her redemption for these songs, ’cause she wrote most of them and was really good. Stop eating your chicken. I know Norman Lear’s here. As much as I love you, um, while we’re playing, you can’t eat chicken while I eat…I mean while I sing.
Girl in Crowd: Jerry Best! Jerry! Jerry Best!
CL: ?? what do bands say on stage ?? (Laughs).
-ASKING FOR IT
CL: Merci. Do you wanna play on this one? Perry’s gonna come on with like, you know, twelve women and three little people up his skirt, so we ??
CL: This is a song that we wrote that, um, the three people in my life that I listen to about music, one being my friend Scott, SCOTT, who, um, he’s kind of a dick, but rides my ass, um, he hasn’t heard this one yet, so he better like it, ’cause it’s real good. It’s called But Julian, I’m a Little Older Than You.
-BUT JULIAN, I’M A LITTLE BIT OLDER THAN YOU
CL: Now, wasn’t that good? Oh, you ?? Um, fucker, is that a yoga mat out there? Ok, like, we were doing soundcheck and there were some mimes and I went and kicked one…
Guy in Crowd: Shut up!
CL: ?? You know what, you come up and sing ‘shut up’ with me.
Girl in Crowd: I will!
CL: We have a saying in this band, it’s called WWBD – what would Bono do? Patty’s ?? this next song. Alright, we’ll do an oldie. ?? about my, um…my very first mother-in-law, who’s here tonight, who dressed us, and I love you very, very much. My friend Cameron needs to hire her when he gets rid of Betsy, ’cause she’s better, and shoot Mommie Dearest, ?? Wait, do I…I have a guitar on…oh, lesbian.
CL: You’ll have to drag us off the fucking stage, I think. Oh, put me in my place, please.
CL: Go, boys.
Guy in Crowd: Sober!
