Girl:
What about "The Biggest Lie"?
Elliott:
I'll play "The Biggest Lie", maybe...
Girl:
Play it!
Elliott:
Well, I just plugged into this guitar! It's in a different tuning.
Girl:
Don't be cranky!
Elliott:
What?
Girl:
Don't be cranky.
Elliott:
Don't be cranky!? Do I look cranky? You're makin' me fuckin' cranky. It's a good way to make me cranky... but I'm not gonna get cranky.*Laughs*
Crowd:
*Cheers and laughs*
Elliott:
*Messes up intro to "Independence Day"* Damn! Look what you did!
You wouldn’t think that he cared about his appearance from the clothes that he wore, but he would sometimes try on outfits for half an hour to get to the right combination of faded cords, T-shirt and baseball cap.
