BC: It’s alright, the show will start any minute.  The actual show.  ...  Come on, just...say whatever you gotta say, just...bring it at me.  We go way back, 20 years, 21 actually.  In 1988, they told us we were wrong.  In 1991, they told us we were wrong, in 1993 they told us we were wrong, so we’ve heard we were wrong like so many times, it’s all good.  Maybe there’s a...maybe there’s a reason to be wrong, maybe it’s a good thing.  Seems to me the get along world ain’t doin’ so get along.

BC: Ladies and gentlemen, this is the greatest show I’ve ever played.  And if it wasn’t for you, I couldn’t have played it.  I know I speak for all the band.  We’re all moved literally to tears.  We’re so deeply touched by your love and affections.  Oh.  Makes me think of some of the great entertainers: [[w:Judy Garland|Judy Garland]], [[w:Sammy_Davis_Jr.|Sammy Davis Junior]]...[[w:Frank Sinatra|Frank]], we know they’re smiling down on you tonight.  ''(singing)'' Everything is beautiful in its own way.  Everyone is beautiful in their own way.  ''(speaking)'' You know, as we travel through the journey of life...sometimes we hit little speed bumps, whoa, what’s that?, it’s a speed bump!  And whoever we pray to, whoever that big gal in the sky or the big guy in the sky, we say, “Must it be so hard?”  And the answer is ''(deep voice)'' “Yes.”  ''(normal voice)'' And that’s just the way it is.  But you know, this song is for my heart.  ''(singing)'' Everything is beautiful in its own way.  Everyone is beautiful in your own way.  You’re the greatest crowd we’ve ever seen.  You’re the loudest crowd I’ve ever known.  ''(speaking)'' You know, to the Smashing Pumpkins, it doesn’t matter if you’re black, white, green or red, we love you just the same.  Straight, bi, gay, animal lover, we don’t care, we love you just as you are.  Because we know you accept us, no matter what we do, we know you accept us from the bottom of your heart.  Through the dark times - and there have been some dark times - your love has gotten us through.  Taken us gently over those little speed bumps.  And we know that with you, we always get a five star review.  ''(singing)'' Everything is beautiful - ''(speaking)'' come on, people!  Sing from your hearts.  ''(singing)'' Everyone is beautiful...''(speaking)'' in your own way.  So that’s the end of the show and that makes me sad.  But the good news is, the sadder I get, the better a song I write.  Yes, it’s true.  Yes, you’ve all fed on my pain, you’ve all fed on my pain.  And that’s why you’re here, but that’s okay.  Because I live in a big house because of you.  ''(singing)'' Everything is beautiful...''(speaking)'' in its own way.  ...  Kris, show us what you got.  ''(Kris accordion solo)''  Take it, Ginger!  ''(Ginger kazoo solo)''
