Lay-Cool are backstage. They are tearing into the japanese stars Hamada and AKINO, collectively known as Hamakino. They go on with their traditional "mean girls" 101. A few noteable extracts.
Layla: "Hamada and AKINO are ugly, then again everyone is ugly compared to you Michelle."
Michelle: "Oh No no, they are ugly compared to you Layla. Your just perfect"
Layla: "No your perfect Michelle"
Michelle: "Were both perfect. Its cos we're simply..."
