BC: Bonjour. ...
Iha: Check.
Disarm
BC: Barry. No white lights.

BC: (French accent) Hello again! Are you ready to rock? (normal voice) Well, here's another slow song. This is called Hello Kitty Kat.
Hello Kitty Kat
Bury Me
Window Paine
Iha: Thank you very much. Now we play for you next, a rock ballad.
BC: (to somebody in crowd) What? Speak English.
Spaceboy
Iha: Thank you so much, so much. It's good to be out in France again. No, back in America, heh heh, we'd be doing nothing else, so it's good to be out in Paris, see all the Parisians. We love you. I can't really think of anything else to say to you people except sweat more and smoke some more, make the room even hotter and...we'll all die in a fiery building.
BC: Alright.
Iha: Just....
BC: Shhhhhh, shhhh.
D’arcy: Shhh.
BC: Shhh.
Iha: Listen to the gnomes.
BC: Shhh.
Geek U.S.A.
Tristessa
BC: (French accent) What do you want to hear? No no, turn off those white lights.
Snail
(BC after verse 1: Hey, we're not a punk rock band, punk rock's dead, sorry.
Iha: We are not GBH, GBH played here years ago.
BC: I mean, I saw, you know, 7 Seconds and D.O.A. in like '86, you know, it's only nineteen-fuckin'-ninety-two. Punk is dead, sorry.
Iha: This next song is called Oi though.
BC: Heh heh. (goes back into song)
Iha: (faux jovial) Hahaha. Hahaha.)
> I Am One
Iha: We have now downtuned for you. ... Oh-pa! hahaha.
BC: This is a song from a movie.
Drown
Iha: Merci. That song is of course from a film called Singles, it's based on the life of Matt Dillon. That was called Theme From Eddie Vedder. Heh heh. I should learn how to speak French, I suppose.
Guy in crowd: Why are you wearing a dress?
BC: We would never wear dresses.
Iha: Je suis un grunge.
BC: Je suis poisson! This is called I Fucked You in the Eiffel Tower.
Kill Your Parents
Iha at first pause in song: Ahh, mmm.
BC at second pause in song: Come on, baby, gimme what I want.
Iha over drum break at third pause: Mon cher, oh.
BC over drum break at fourth pause: Avec moi, avec [unknown French word].
> Siva
[encore break]
Iha: [cuts in] ...then we'll do some dancing for you. Steven, in his homeland, is a uh, number one dancer. He's just a little shy though.
Guy in crowd: Jump off the stage!
Steven?: No.
Iha: He wants to dance, not rock.
Lady Marmalade (tease)
BC: Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir? Er no.
Guy in crowd: Kick out the jams!
Different guy in crowd: Jump off the stage!
BC: Huh, no.
Offer Up
> Silverfuck / When You Wish Upon a Star
BC at 10:17: Ow, ow, ow, ow, owwooo, ow! Aw yeah, that’s right! Aw yeah, aw yeah, aw yeah, that’s right, aw yeah!
Iha at 11:03: We're sorry, we’re very sorry, we’re sorry, we’re very sorry.
> Jam (possibly with band members on switched instruments)
Iha: I hate you motherfuckers! (jam ends) We’re very sorry, we apologize, we will never come back here again.
