Grohl - It's very suave
Cobain - So, I saw this picture on the news about three weeks ago, um, it was in Republican Party headquarters in Pasadena and it was firebombed, it was a beautiful picture. It was a picture of the Republican Party headquarters in Pasadena and there was a window and there was smoke and fire coming out if it, it was really pretty. It should be on the Christmas album or something. Did you know that I'm gay? Then I got married to a hermaphrodite. But, they're trying to take away my gay rights, I would have been really mad, because I really like to buttfuck! It's fun, feels good

You guys are all gonna get pneumonia. Y'all know what this show is about? It's about No On 9, it's not, like, a rock show or anything, it's about getting together. Love is but a song we sing
Cobain - You know, yesterday, uh, my wife and I were sitting in a tent at the MTV Music Awards and we're having, we're having lunch and Axl Rose walked by us. And, and we yelled at Axl, we said 'Axl, will you be the Godfather of our child?' And he said, he stopped and he turned around, pointed his finger at my wife and said...
Novoselic - With his bodyguard!
Cobain - Yeah, well yeah, he had like, 20 bodyguards with him and, and, he's doing the, um, the Madonna documentary...
Novoselic - And, and...
Cobain - ...he's got a little film camera with him
Novoselic - ...and, and you had a little 3 week old baby in your arms
Cobain - And I had a little, helpless child in my arms. And so, he said to my wife, 'You'd better shut up bitch, don't pitch me any shit tonight'. Because tonight was obviously the highlight of his career...
Novoselic - See...
Cobain - ...the last highlight
Novoselic - He said he hates niggers and faggots, he said so
Cobain - And, and then I said, and then he said and then he looked at me and said 'You'd better keep your wife shut or I'm gonna take you to the pavement!' I, I was shaking and I went 'What? What? You're gonna, what are you gonna do? You're gonna beat me up?' And he said 'You'd better keep your wife's mouth shut, you embarrass everybody, you embarrass your wife, you embarrass your old man, you embarrass me' and, and, and then I, I was shaking and I said... I told my wife to 'Shut up bitch
Novoselic - True story, you heard it here first...
Cobain - And, and so...
Novoselic - And then I ran into Duff McKagen and that guy wanted to fight me and he had three bodyguards, who were, like, pushing me around, but it's about... But, see, that's the establishment rock and roll, see
Cobain - What?
Novoselic - They want you to buy their package rebellion of sitting on a Harley Davidson while you play, uh, a piano with a forty-one piece orchestra just like Emerson, Lake and Palmer did in 1978! Say it brother
Voice - Hey man, I'm not sticking up for Axl or anything
Novoselic - But...?
Voice - I'm not gonna stick up for Kurt, man
Novoselic - Well, you gotta take sides, you're either...
Voice - No...
Novoselic - ...Yes On 9...
Voice - No, wait...
Novoselic - ...Or No On 9, man, you gotta take sides!

Novoselic - Right on, man
Voice - ...be it anyone, man, just let it rock the way they wanna rock, okay?
Novoselic - Yeah, right, right on man, but...
Voice - Alright?
Novoselic - That's a corporate establishment, which is...
Cobain - But you can't let a rock star...
Voice - No
Cobain - ...who obviously likes to beat women and, uh, likes to control women, and who likes to tell women to shut up and keep their mouths shut...
Novoselic - And who hates niggers and faggots
Cobain - Who obviously is a racist and a homophobe...
Voice - ???
Cobain - He doesn't have the right to speak his mind
Voice - ???
Cobain - Well, he does have the right to speak his mind but...
Voice - ???
