when I could have

kicked your ass.

- Just...

- You could... You should still play the Reading...

Oh, yes, I should just

play the Reading Festival.

- Dive into the crowd...

- Right. That's right.

Shoot off a gun,

light yourself on fire.

- Let everyone see this.

- And give birth.

And this is only half of it.

- The rest is yet to come.

- Look. Moustache.

- Hmm, I like that.

- Wait, wait.

Free moustache rides!

It's a "womb broom."

- Keep it, please?

- Okay! Ha!

- Just keep it for the night.

- No way!

Please, Kurt, you need...

- This is the...

- Outshined, outshined

Outshined!

This is the look of Aberdeen.

Come on, look at the camera.

I was in Vietnam.

You weren't in Vietnam.

I was in Vietnam.

Look at my large breasts.

"Dearest 'Sassy'

and whoever else is responsible

for the Kurt Cobain,

Courtney 'Pig' story,

Your story in April's 'Sassy'

about Kurt Cobain

and that Courtney hag

truly made me want to vomit.

First of all,

what could have been

a beautiful interview

experience with Kurt Cobain,

the god of love in human form,

was totally ruined

by nasty old dirty Miss Love

running her big, fat mouth.

Who cares about her stupid

Victorian house or her sucky band

or how she was

so obnoxious and pushy

that she scared poor Kurt

into going out with her?

Secondly,

you guys are supposed to be

so understanding and all that,

so what possessed you

to be so insensitive

to those of us who would lick the

ground that Kurt Cobain walked on?

You could have just mentioned

the vile Courtney,

but, oh, no, you went so far

as to show her kissing Kurt.

Blech!

I will never forgive you.

Never, never, never!

Sincerely disillusioned

with life,

Stacy the Kurt slave."

And there's a little happy

face on the bottom.

Happy face...

"This is not currently me, thanks to you."

Why don't...

Why don't you interview us?

Kurt and Courtney?

- This is slow. It's too slow.

- "Sassy 2."

How does it feel to be fast?

Life in the fast lane.

At the height

of their drug abuse...

Damn,

if I wasn't so needle-sick,

I'd be on tour

with Guns N' Roses right now.

Me and Axl would be

whooping it up,

snake-dancing

across the universe.

Snake-dancing across

the stage together

singing Nazareth songs.

But I'm too goddamn needle-sick,

man.

Are you f***ed up, baby?

Hack, hack.

You love me, you love me

Pretty please

I wanna be your girlfriend

I wanna be your girlfriend

Let me just be your girlfriend...

Let me just be

your girlfriend

Well,

then put it in my anus

And it kinda was heinous...

But put it in my anus

and it kinda was heinous

But put it in my anus

and it kinda was heinous

But put it in my anus

and it kinda was smelly

And I wanna be

your girlfriend

I wanna be your girlfriend

I wanna ride your Bratmobile,

baby

I wanna know how you really feel,

yeah

I wanna ride

in your Bratmobile

I wanna shoot up

in your Bratmobile

- 'Cause put it in my butt

- I feel insane

And I'll feel sexy, but...

Put it in my baby...

I did do heroin

when I was pregnant,

and then I stopped.

And I knew she would be fine.

Come on!

So, he was never concerned

that our child would have...

I assured him that I was

built like an oxen

and could carry this pregnancy to

term and not have any problems.

But, you know,

I was a young woman.

The pregnancy

isn't the problem.

It's the being around

a junkie while I'm pregnant

when I'm a junkie, too,

and I know the minute

that baby's out,

I'm going to go shoot up

in celebratory fashion.

You know what I mean?

Like, that was our lifestyle.

Pain will dissolve

the sea monkeys at present.

Sea monkeys

will hatch and reproduce.

We say, "Adieu," little girl.

They found

the little girl's skin

under his yellow,

cigarette-stained fingernails.

And if you say your prayers

You will make God happy

And if you do what's told

You will make me happy

I'll keep you in a jar

And you will seem happy

I'll give you

breathing holes

You will think

you're happy...

I am

Am surly

Dea... Death...

Does that get to you?

To read things

like you're dying

of smack addiction

and sh*t like...

Yeah,

it makes you feel like the kid in school

who gets picked on

all the time.

Or it makes you feel like

the school slut.

Party on, Wayne.

I feel like people

want me to die,

because it would be the

classic rock 'n' roll story.

Dea... Death

Dea... Death...

I would like to professionally

and publicly announce

that this is our last show.

There's been some pretty extreme

things written about us,

especially my wife,

'cause she thinks

everybody hates her now.

So, um...

I wanted to give her

a message and say,

Courtney, we love you.

Okay, ready?

On the count of three.

One, two, three.

Courtney, we love you!

Thanks.

Oh

When I was an alien

Cultures weren't opinions

Gotta find a way,

a better way

When I'm there

Gotta find a way,

a better way

I had better wait

Gotta find a way,

a better way

When I'm there

Gotta find a way,

a better way

I had better wait

Just because

you're paranoid

Don't mean they're

not after you

Gotta find a way,

a better way

When I'm there

Gotta find a way,

a better way

When I'm there

Gotta find a way,

a better way

I had better wait

Gotta find a way,

a better way

I had better wait.

Hi.

Hi.

How you doing?

You're getting suspicious with this

electronic device in your face, huh?

Staring right at it.

What...

What do you see in there?

Nothing.

Would you show your butt for the cam...

Oh, a little wet, okay.

- A little pee.

- That is most definitely amphibian.

Don't look at me. Don't...

Frances,

this is your real problem.

Everywhere Daddy looks,

you won't look.

- Hi, hi.

- Look at that.

Bah!

This is the happiest

day I've ever seen.

- Don't you think?

- She knows.

She's... Now she's got lots

of things in store for her.

You wanna be a star

for a while and I'll film?

Wanna be the star?

Fly.

Want to fly?

Fly? Fly?

Ah? Nose?

Taste good?

Ha!

Wanna barf in my mouth again?

Three times the charm!

- Ah!

- Are you getting all this?

- Yes!

- Oh, aren't we lucky?

Oh, I know.

Are you worried

about the kind of mistakes

that might have been made

in your growing up

that sort of impacts how you

deal with her situation?

No.

My father and I are

completely different people.

I know that

I'm capable of showing

a lot more affection

than my dad was.

I mean,

even if Court and I were to get a divorce,

I would never allow us

to be in a situation

where there are bad vibes

between us in front of her.

If there's anything

that we're determined to do,

it's to give Frances

as much love as we can.

I mean, if anything,

it's going to stop me

from pursuing

this rock 'n' roll thing.

It's going to be her

because I don't want her

to be screwed up because of it.

I don't know what's going to

happen in the next few years.

It's...

It's kind of scary.

I dropped it.

Mommy's loud.

- I'm loud.

- Oh, who's a big crybaby?
