Audience member: One more song!

Corgan: One more song? No, it's...believe me, if it took one more song, heh, if it took more on-heh...if it took one more song to get you people off, believe me we'd do it. Believe me. We'd do it. But you know...But you know...sometimes crowds remind me of ex-girlfriends. And you - you remind me of this one that took a lot of my money and didn't like me. And she told me she loved me, but she wasn't really there for me, that's what this reminds me of. It's that kind of relationship, isn't it? Have you ever had one of those relationships, Steven? "Hell yeah!" Haha..no? No? You're in one now? Long time ago. Long time ago. Ladies and gentlemen, for twenty years, we haven't earned your...wait...wait, hold on...hold on...hold on...for twenty years we have not yet earned your trust, have we? Show of hands: who does not trust us after twenty years? Come on, be honest. Be honest. This guy right there, he's not trustin' us. He's not trustin' us. Come on, you need the microphone friend, come here. This man needs the microphone.<br>

Corgan: Ohhh...you might wanna check the record sales on that one. We don't see the e- the evidence of that in our demographics, if you know what I'm sayin'. Right? Sometimes you just gotta reach out. That's what we're tryin' to do right here, we're tryin' to reach out to you.<br>

Fan: COME ON CHICAGO, LET'S HEAR YOU!!<br>

Corgan: Twenty-one years ago? I did not know this man. I do not know this man. Twenty-one years later? I think I know you. Right? Hahaha! It doesn't go anywhere from here, you might as well head to your cars. Now is a good time. Get that jump. Get that jump in the parking garage. Ladies and gentlemen what we're trying to say to you...we're trying to say to you is...if you'd like to say it, come on up, 'cause I, I'm just trying to finish this thing up. What we're trying to say to you is...that we're happy to be back, number one. Number two: it's always an honor to play for you, so thank you for coming tonight, we do appreciate it. Number three: This doesn't speak to everyone, but many of you, we don't know what the fuck you want from us, okay, that's number three. Last I checked, we are an alternative band. Alternative means different than what everyone else is doing. Including those reunion bands that go out and just play the old songs. So...for those of you we disappointed, we're sorry, we hope you give us another chance. For those of you that love us, we're gonna torch you for twenty more years, at least. God bless.
