Zero
Fuck You
Corgan: Fuck yeah! Fuck yeah! Good evening Rio!
Iha: Hello, good evening Rio, we are happy to see you.
Wretzky: Not fuck you, fuck yeah!
Iha: Yes! Fuck yes!
Wretzky: Not fuck yeah, fuck you!
Disarm
Today
Corgan: Thank you.
Bullet with Butterfly Wings
Corgan: Hello.
Iha: Thank you very much. It is our pleasure to be here in Rio, to rock you like you've never been rocked before.
Thru the Eyes of Ruby
Rocket
Corgan: Thank you so much. We are the Smashing Pumpkins. Pumpkins! You know, speaking of metal...
Porcelina of the Vast Oceans
Corgan: Thank you. It still works. How y'all doing out there? Que paso, or? Or, how are you? Come talk to the people.
Wretzky: It's obrigado.
Corgan: Um, we'd like to say hello, we're very happy to be here, we hope to come here many more times, we're sorry this is the first time, we hope you're having a good time, god bless you.
[tranlator speaks]
Corgan: This is a little song we call Geek U.S.A.
Geek U.S.A. (false start)
Corgan: As we said, we're very happy to be here, god bless you.
Wretzky: What did we stop for?
Corgan: This is a little song called Geek U.S.A.
Iha: Alright!
Geek U.S.A.
polka improv
Boys Don't Cry (tease)
Wretzky: Hey! Hey! Hey hey hey! That's the next band, that's not us. Don't try to upstage them, they can do it ten times better than us! Cut it out! You're giving it away! You're embarassing me.
Cherub Rock
Wretzky: Doral, doral doral doral doral.
[Wretzky knocks over cigarette sponsor banner, Billy and James kick soccer balls into crowd]
Wretzky: No more soccer balls, I just wanna say a little thing.
Billy: GOAAAAAAAAL!
Wretzky: No, that's not what I wanted to say. I wanna say that you've been really beautiful, it's been a really good time. We're only very very sorry that it had to be a cigarette company that brought us here. No that's bad, don't cheer. In Hollywood, if Hollywood in the United States is a city, not a cigarette company, we don't endorse anything, especially not that fucking that. So, we're glad we're hear, but we're really embarrassed that we're endorsing, we're playing a cigarette commercial, so forgive us.
[interpreter speaks]
Iha: Thank you very much, we will play one more rock song for you, and that will be all. The rocking Cure will be up next.
Corgan: You want to rock? One more time? Yeah! The soccer balls were courtesy of the Hollywood Cigarette Company, thank you.
