BC: Thank you very much, thank you. Thank you. Viva(?), thank you. Thank you very much, thank you, thank you for coming. Heh heh heh heh heh heh. Now Jeff.... Jeff, you’ve never been to the motherland before.
Jeff: No.
BC: The motherland of Russia, you've never been here?
Jeff: Never been, first time.
BC: First time?
Jeff: First time. Very good, very good.
BC: What do you think so far?
Jeff: It’s the best, amazing.
BC: Amazing?
Jeff: Amazing, amazing.
Nicole: Amazing audience.
BC: Now Mike, you've never been here either?
Jeff: He is fucked up.
BC: What do you think? I can’t understand you ‘cause you (Mike starts soloing) only play the drums - there you are. (Mike finishes) That’s what you feel. Now Nicole.... Now, what people don't know is as a small child, Nicole was here making a film with Tarkovsky. Yes, Nicole was an actress.
Nicole: You're always starting rumors about me.
BC: What was it like working with a great filmmaker like Tarkovsky?
Nicole: Well, it's like working with you, it's incredible.
BC: Amazing! Now was anyone at the one previous Smashing Pumpkins show in Russia in 1998, was anybody there? You were there?
Nicole: [unintelligible]
BC: I don't think so...
Nicole: Are you lying?
BC: ...‘cause nobody was there.
Nicole: They’re lying.
BC: Nobody was there except a bunch of screaming, drunk men. I played about two thousand concerts in my life and I have certain memories and my memory of playing in Russia in 1998 was this. (gesticulates) That's my memory! The vodka flowed - the vodka flowed, the shirts came off and the men turned into some sort of Cro-Magnon warrior. Now, I personally dated a Russian woman for eight years....
Nicole: I know this.
BC: Yes. And I must ask you women, what is it that you like about this man? What is it that you like, I wanna know. ‘Cause you must like him because you keep... making children with him.
Nicole: This man?
BC: ‘Cause as Russia rises - as Russia rises to world power....
Nicole: They’re gonna get rowdy.
BC: We know it's coming, we know it's coming, we see it. We know you guys are taking the shit over, we get it, we get it. Just remember us, just remember us when you're number one.
Nicole: Remember we like you.
BC: Remember the Pumpkins.
Nicole: We like you.
BC: I'm sorry?
Nicole: I said - I was telling them to remember that we like them.
BC: Yeah.
Nicole: Yeah.
BC: So um, yeah, that's about it. No, don't shout for songs, please. I'm too old...to listen to this shit. Excuse me? Zero, you wanna hear Zero? You wanna hear Zero? Okay, okay, hold on. Hold on, I got Zero for you right here, hold on a second.
Zero (tease - Billy plays the riff a couple times on the Mellotron)
BC: Russian style. There you go, I played Zero, thank you. Now we don't have to play it later, it's awesome, I didn't know it was this easy! And when we don't play Zero later, it’ll be your fault, it's okay, it's okay. Because you're this guy. Hahahaha. Jeff, having been in a relationship with a woman, born in Kiev, for eight years, this is what I learned about the Russian people. They do not know the meaning of the word no. You can say no and they just don't hear you. No does not exist in the Russian language, it's just yes. Yes, more, more, yes, go, all night long baby, go, go, more! Right?
Jeff: More.
BC: All night long, all night long!
Jeff: Please, my friend.
(crowd chants for Zero and Billy plays the riff on the Mellotron again)
BC: Hahahaha. Ohhhhh, it's so good to be here with you. So we'd like to continue on. Because if history is any indication, I won't be back for 15 years. So in 15 years, we'll make the same jokes...and we’ll play some different songs, but for tonight we'd like to play this song from our Oceania album. It's our most recent album, not that you know about it. Oceania, our most recent album. Not that you know about it, Oceania, our most recent album. Yes. And this is a song that should appeal to the darkness of the Russian soul. And don't pretend you don't have darkness in your soul, I've seen your movies. The song called Oceania.
