CL: Hey, you’re mixing my drink like it’s for your Grandma.
MADM: Wait, I was just noticing that these dancers are being really nice and there’s certain people in the audience that are actually being worse than the dancers ?? not hitting the other members of the audience.
CL: What are you saying? Nazis are nice?
Guy in Crowd: Let me up!
CL: Did you get on the guest list? Oh, right, we’re punk, we don’t have a guest list. ?? Don’t fuck with me. Don’t fuck with Melissa. She can’t be fucked with. It’s like a little fucking sensitive here.
CL: (To a guy in the audience) You put the crown on then, please. Play with your gender a little. Get in touch with your feminine side. I’ll give you 20 bucks. I’ll make you a sandwich. I’ll make your bed for a month. (Screechy voice) ?? the Queen.

(Cut)
CL: What…?? comes down to…no testosterone, all estrogen, some little girl beating up on some big guy, just so she can complain about it later? Wait, I’m like a militant feminist, I went to lunch with Gloria Steinem, I know it backward.
(Cut)

-I’M SO HIGH
-SHE WALKS ON ME
CL: ?? what I meant, but I hate it when some guy sticks his boner up against me at a show and I’d kill him for that, so it’s not like I’m not on your side, just don’t do hysteria, because the word comes from uterus. Be testerical. Bye.
Courtney throws a doll into the audience. She picks up a bottle of water and starts spraying the crowd with it. She stage dives.
While Courtney is in the audience, Eric sprays the crowd with water. Melissa and Eric throw dolls into the crowd.
