“Being in the position I am, I should know better. I know I can't keep messing up like this, and I owe it to my audience and to myself to do better than this, because I know I'm better than this. I really want to improve myself and better myself, not just for me, but for anyone that looks up to me or anyone that's influenced by me, and that's how I want to move forward away from this. That's all I had to say. Thank you for watching. Bye.”

“I'm not here for your entertainment.
You don't really want to mess with me tonight.
Just stop and take a second.

Before it began.
Keep your drink, just give me the money.
It's just you and your hand tonight.”
