She [unintelligible word] one piece and it loved but still something was missing, an emptiness that crawled around. And it would [unintelligible word] to her house and to her parents, yes.

(BC after Iha intro: Right about now, right about now, we’d like to take it down for a second. Back to some ancient times. Ancient times in the history of rock and roll. Back to a time of long hair, guitar solos, glitter...crooked teeth. How ya feelin’, how ya feelin’? How ya feelin’? Are you ready?)

BC: Grazia, grazia. Bueno sera, señoras and señors. Thank you, thank you so much for coming to our concert tonight, thank you so much. We are the Smashing Pumpkins.

Iha: Thank you, thank you very much. How’s everybody doing? Good? Good. Okay, a quick introduction of the band. On the piano, Mr. Mike Garson. He’s in Italy, praise the man. All the way from Chicago, on the keyboards and synthesizers, Mr. Chris Holmes! On the bass (pronounced like the fish) guitar, all the way from Montreal, Canada, Miss Melissa Auf der Maur! Some really wonderful times that she’s filling it in. On the drums and acoustic guitar, Mr. Jimmy Chamberlin! Ow! On lead vocals and guitar, to my right, Mr. Billy Corgan. [unintelligible] I am Mr. James and we would like to thank all of you -
BC: Hey James! James. James! James-sa! James! So before we play our last song, we’d like to thank you for an amazing, wonderful, exciting, sexually charged concert. Yes.
Iha: Aye chihuahua.
BC: I felt it. And um, thank you to our fans for ten amazing years, thank you Smashing Pumpkins fans.
Iha: We salute you. You rock. I wish I knew more Italian.
BC: Thank you. So we dedicate this last song to you, god bless you, (blows kiss).
