Carson: (cute but weird/ jokingly look) are you okay?

Mariah: No I'm a complete and total mess

Carson: Did you order eggs benedict and a bottle of Jack Daniels this morning from room service?

Mariah: No baby. I've been up for 48 hours straight. I went from Venezuela which is where my grandfather is from, toooo.... LA to work on my Homecoming Special which is airing on FOX December 14th, which I went back to my Junior High and I did a whole show in the gym.

Carson: Tell us about that, now this is going to air tomorrow night.

Mariah: Yeah

Carson: What was that like for you?

Mariah: That's like, alot of the faculty members were still there, and kids that go to the school, had brothers and sister, who are older, who went to the school when I was there. So, its kind of coming full circle, and I felt really good about it, cause I, you know having my own issues, basically an insecure kid, you know, it was very good.

Carson: Mariah, were the junior high years good years for ya?

Mariah: No they were a complete and total joke! (little laugh)

Carson: Did you go back with a little bit of revenge, saying... sayin "Hey look at me now"?

Mariah: Nah, I mean we had fun, Jay-Z came, Da Brat came, 98º and I did a little thing at the end, and it was cool, I mean, ya know what.. it's not revenge, for me, I'm a very optimistic person, like for me, in my healing process, as like trying to grow up and become and adult.

Carson: Yeah.

Mariah: It's like uhm, do you know you're talking in the shower by the way?

Carson: Yeah I know, you're naked in the shower right now.

Mariah: Did my high notes sound good?

Carson: Yeah they sounded very nice.

Mariah: Mmm.

Carson: I'm thinkin to do MTV Unplugged Special, you in the shower.

Mariah: (high notes) Uh, yeah yeah we're a match right now. I told em we had to do it in the beginning.

Carson: No it's good.

Mariah: (singin) Go and break my heart!

Carson: I don't think I've ever done an interview with Mariah Carey while she's naked in the shower.

Carson: So there's a shower and a bath tub?

Mariah: Yeah, because you gotta clean off the germs and then you get into the bath tub.

Carson: (jokingly) You wanna have a little phone sex?

Mariah: No candles, its freakin, hotel lighting, and a bath tub.

Carson: Who's your new boyfriend you were just speaking of moments ago?

Mariah: I'm not talkin to anything, except the fact that I'm finally happy, finally feeling like somebody understands me, and finally feeling okay.

Carson: Just tell me what team he plays for.

Mariah: He doesn't play for a team. He's a singer, he's an (accent) international superstar in Latin America.
