Corgan: Hey, what's up?
Iha: You look good.
Corgan: Nice to see everybody, how's everybody doing? You'll have to excuse uh, we don't talk anymore. We just got sick of hearing our own shit come out of our mouths, so...so we just play music, we hope you have a good time, thank you very much.

Fuck You
Porcelina of the Vast Oceans / Rocket (tease)
Iha: Thank you, thank you very much. (unintelligible)...We'd like to bring a special guest to the stage, all the way from Milwaukee, yes it's Jimmy Frog!
Corgan: Say hello to Jimmy Frog.
Iha: Jimmy Frog will lead us on this next song and we will dance into oblivion, so come on along.
1979
Corgan: Thank you very much Jimmy. So it being 1997 and all, we realize that we cannot entertain you, so we need to bring out help. Because you're all jaded people. This is our new single, it's called Thirty-three.

[encore break]
Corgan: Most people don't know this, but um -- should I tell them James? You want everyone to know this?
Iha: Go ahead, go ahead.
Corgan: You're sure?
Iha: Let's just put it out in the open.
Corgan: Most people do not know this, but James is related to Bobby Knight.
Iha: I'm speechless, me and Bob way back go, as long as the hoosier dynasty has been around.
Corgan: In fact, it was uncle Bob who showed you your first E chord.
Iha: He's a, most people don't know this, a hell of a guitar player. We played with him, a hell of a guitar player.
Wretzky: Didn't he use to sometimes babysit for you James?
Iha: Yes, that is correct. That's how I learned the guitar.
Wretzky: You know, he still does sometimes babysit for James.
Iha: At this point, I don't know what we're doing, so who knows what can happen here.
Corgan: We send this song out to anyone who's ever been yelled at by Bob Knight.
Iha: Thank you, now play along.

Iha: Gracias, grazie, grazie. Thank you very much. Are you people still with us? Alright.
Corgan: Not burnt out yet, you're still with us?
Iha: You people want a rock and roll introduction to the next song? No? Do you people want a rock and roll introduction?
Corgan: Hey! I don't give a fuck what they want.
Iha: What are you saying, you don't care about the fans?
Corgan: I'm a difficult artist.
Iha: Oh, I forgot we're uh, well I'm gonna go put on the flannel and come out again, get rid of all this other stuff, 'cause you see we came from the era of grunge rock. No entertainment, strictly grunge. Alright, I'll give a slight introduction to this next song, it's called X.Y.U.
