I Am One
BC: Hi.
Iha: Oh, we're having guitar difficulty. The guitar's a very interesting instrument, there are many, many difficulties with it. Now as you see, we have our own guitar scientist on board and he is going to straighten out the problem and we shall be back to space. How does it go there, guitar guy? Alright, momentarily we will rock. Old school style.
BC: I am now satisfied.
Zero
Pug
BC: Good evening! It's nice to be back in our nation's capital. Every time we come here, there seems to be some huge, uh...you know, last year it was Monica, this year it's a war. Hopefully when we come back, there'll still be a planet. Thank you very much for coming tonight, we are the Smashing Pumpkins, we're very proud to be in front of you tonight. A fearsome foursome or a...heh heh, oy.... A fearsome foursome! We'd now like to take you back into our sundried past. Way back before the land of Gish.

> Glass and the Ghost Children
Speed Kills
BC: Thank you very much, thank you. Unh. Are you feeling it? Are you feeling it?
Iha: Are you feeling it? Are you feeling it out there? I'm not sure exactly what you should feel except a euphoric rock and roll alternative experience.
BC: You ready? I don’t know if I can play it this time you wanna hear it.

Today
BC: God bless you, thank you. Thank you. Thanks, peace.
[encore break]
Iha: Grazie, grazie. You people have been a rocking audience, we appreciate you coming here tonight, very nice of you. And uh, well, backstage, we deduced that you want to rock. Heh heh. You wouldn't want any of that soft mellow Fleetwood Mac stuff. Although I myself like Fleetwood Mac Rumours era but that's a whole ‘nother story. We're gonna go back to our second album produced by the ubiquitous Butch Vig. Oh no wait, no we're not.
BC: Hahaha. Third album, James.
Iha: The third album. Well, this one was produced by some guy. It's called, an older song. It's a hell of a band, here it is, Muzzle.

BC: One more, you wanna hear one more? You ready there, James?
Iha: What are we playing?
BC: Hahahaha.
Siva
(BC before normal hard ending: (laughing) No, wait, let’s kick it down a notch for a second. I don’t remember the lyrics, does anyone remember the lyrics? One at a time, I - heh heh.)
> Who Do You Love? (tease)
> Space Jam (tease)
(BC: We are the Smashing Pumpkins, we bid you goodnight. Ready? Freak out! (Jimmy goes crazy on the drums))
