DRAIN YOU

ABOUT A GIRL
Novoselic - "This is like er ... ice tea, if you, if I was to give you a sip sometime, you'd throw it back and smash me in the head and kill me here, that wouldn't be obedience, citing Hallowe'en prayer. Real blood and guts, forget Friday the 13th and Freddy Kreugger, you wanna say something?"

Cobain - "Would anybody like to claim this shoe?"
Novoselic - "Oh, that's right"
Cobain - "Let me see your other shoe to prove that you are the owner and then you can have it back! You'll take it?"
Novoselic - "No, this is an amputee convention Kurt"
Cobain - "Let me see you other foot, to see if it's the same shoe"
Novoselic - "Beat him, beat him. Hit him Kurt, hit him. Amputee porno, maybe that's it for the 90's, Kurt's giving a ... a brotherly lecture to this kid about throwing things on stage and listen I know you here to have a good time, but come on man give me a break. Did you lecture him Kurt?"
Cobain - "Apparently he wasn't the one who threw it, he lost it and then some other asshole threw it, so now, I have to buy him a new pair of shoes! And the asshole who threw it is just smiling away you know I'm sure, right there"

Novoselic - "Whoo, that's scarey, hoo"
Voice - "Wooooooo"
