(BC over keyboard outro: Dear Billy - wait, James.)

BC: Dear - you gotta hear this.  Wait, no, seriously.  Um, just seeing if that’s a bomb.  “Dear Billy, I’ve lived here my whole life and you remind me of one of those Disney characters.  I know that deep inside your hollow shell, you are nothing but a worthless piece of shit.  If only [[w:Walt Disney|Walt Disney]] was alive, he would kick your ass and charge you royalties for stealing his cartoon gimmicks of fakery and malice.”

BC at 4:25, spoken word: I can still smell [[w:Britney Spears|Britney]].  She’s still here somewhere.  And [[w:Christina Aguilera|Christina]], she’s here, I can smell her.  And the [[w:Backstreet Boys|Backstreet Boys]], they’re here somewhere.  And [[w:NSYNC|'N Sync]], they’re here too, I can feel them.  I can feel them.  No, listen, it’s not their fault that music sucks so bad.  Actually, I blame Generation X bands, we’re to blame for things being so bad.  We take all the blame.  Actually, I’ll take all the blame.  Me.  Bill Corgan.  I’ll take all the blame.  I think it’s my fault that things are the way they are right now.  If our music hadn’t been so depressing, who knows what could’ve happened.

BC: No, usually, usually we, uh, we get to this part in the song and the band does a dramatic - I’m letting you look behind our [[w:Magic Kingdom|Magic Kingdom]] here.  Um, heh heh heh, I swear.  Usually the band does like a dramatic stop and then everything gets very awkward like it is now, and uh...yes.  And, um, and usually I have to think of something clever to say, which unfortunately I can’t think of anything clever to say right now.  But um, sometimes we chant as a unit, you know, all of us collectively and it makes us all feel better although we’re completely helpless.  And um...yes.  Um, yes.  ...  So of course I brought this song to a screeching halt and now I know no way to get back out of it, so um....  Drum solo?  I don’t know.  Jimmy, Jimmy, doesn’t believe in drum solos.  He believes in flying solo.  [[w:Han Solo|Han Solo]], I know he’s your favorite, Han Solo is your favorite [[w:Star Wars|Star Wars]].  Uh, you could, um, James is a very good yodeler, he could yodel.  I know, I know, and also, you may not know this, he has a very, uh, naturally deep voice.  He’s planning an aria with that really annoying 14-year-old that sings opera on those commercials.  Him and [[w:Andrea Bocelli|Andrea Bocelli]] and that annoying girl are going to do an opera.

Iha: ''(sings opera)'' Thank you.

BC: So uh, I quite frankly don’t know how to get out of this awkward moment, so....  We were playing [[The Smashing Pumpkins 2000-04-16|one concert a couple of weeks ago]] and we were live on the radio and the radio station had asked me not to swear and then, uh, so then we all chanted “What the fuck is going on?” together.  Everybody seemed to like that, it made everyone feel better.  And see, you probably already read about everything we’ve already done on this tour on the internet, so you’re not surprised at all with anything we can do, so...that’s always that.  ''(audience chants “What the fuck?”)''  It’s actually “What the fuck is going on?”  It has more rhythm, you’ll see.  What the fuck is going on?  ''(audience chants)''  What the fuck is going on, what the fuck is going on, what the fuck is going on....

''(audience chants and leads to band going back into song)'')

BC: There you go.  Right there.  Wait, no!  That’s the perfect ending.  Thank you, we love you.
