Sweeney: Do you know why E.T. likes Reese’s Pieces so much?
BC: Is this gonna be one of your dirty jokes?
Sweeney: Do you know why?
BC: I don’t care. Do you care? I don’t care.
Sweeney: Well, Billy, the reason that E.T. likes Reese’s Pieces so much is that... (Billy sings over him) They have the same....
BC: Um, what?
Sweeney: They have the same.... (Billy makes noises over him as Matt tries to start his sentence again twice)
BC: We’d like now to play for you our, one of our favorite songs.
Sweeney: Because they have the same taste as cum on his own planet.
BC: This is one of our favorite songs and we like it so much, we left it off the album.
Cast a Stone
BC: Thank you very much, thank you.
Sweeney: The same taste as cum.
BC: (coughs) Thank you very much, we appreciate you coming out to see us tonight. We know that you passed up a lot of nude revues to be here. And, uh, who’s - who’s actually from Las Vegas? Thank you very much. We like Las Vegas.
A New Poetry (abandoned - Matt starts the intro)
BC: I’m not through, Matt. Matt! You fucker. You just don’t listen. I just wanted to say that, um, we - we really appreciated playing for you tonight and we’re sorry we got the first night jitters, but we’ll try to make it up to you, um, in this last song. This is another song we liked so much, we left this one off the album too, heh heh. This is true. But, um, thank you and god bless everyone, have a happy Christmas, happy holidays and, uh.... We didn’t get you anything for Christmas, but uh, we’re gonna lay a bet for you and if it wins, then we’ll all split it evenly. I’m just gonna ramble on forever.
A New Poetry
BC: Thank you. Wait. There’s more. There’s more. If you don’t mind, we’d like to play one more song. ... But if you want, we’ll stop now. I mean, the doors to the casino are open, I think they want you to gamble. What’s wrong with gambling?
Spilled Milk (abandoned after 2+ minutes)
BC: Thanks a lot. We used to be Zwan, thank you, we used to be Zwan, heh heh.
