It's later in the evening and Kurt is sitting in the parking lot of a 7-Eleven, waiting for Courtney to buy dinner, which consists of cookies, fruit juice, and cigarettes. As he stares out the window, a large van pulls up and a guy in heavy metal gear gets out. He is wearing a Nirvana T-shirt.
"That guy has a Nirvana T-shirt," Kurt says rather sadly. The heavy-metal audience was not what he had in mind when he wrote "Smells Like Teen Spirit". "I'm used to it now, I guess," he says softly. "I've seen it a lot."
