Firestarter (tease - James vocals w/Jimmy drums)
Iha: I’m the firestarter! Stooooop!! Stop playing that fucking beat! You see, I would like to explain to you, I cannot help. I am tortured by the Prodigy. Whenever I hear this beat, I must sing the Firestarter. Even though I know none of the lyrics. I’m the firestarter! I’m the firestarter! Come on, you motherfuckers! Come on!!!! Oh, stop torturing me with the beat. You see, I watch MTV incessantly.
BC: Hey, we have the guy from the Prodigy right over there, come here! [unintelligible as James talks over him]
Iha: I see the Proj - he’s wearing a striped shirt.
BC: The Italian back there.

BC: No, he’s the firestarter, you’re not the firestarter.
Peter: I am not the firestarter!
Iha: We apologize, we’re very sorry.

(Billy testing guitar)
BC: Aaah.
D’arcy: What’s wrong, what’s wrong?
BC: Aaahhh. Rita Masuko? (D’arcy laughs) Cheese-a.
D’arcy: Where are they? They could fix it.
Iha: Well, at this time during technical difficulties, I’m reminded... (cut off by D’arcy)
D’arcy: We apologize, it’s the fault of the firestarter.
Iha: This recalls my childhood. As a small child, I dreamed of...what? What are you chanting? You’re chanting like a sorceror - what do you wish?
(BC testing guitar)
BC: Alright, now we’re rockin’.
Iha: Okay. (laughing) Now we will rock.
BC: I’m the fuckin’ fire.

BC: Hey Annie, can you put the lights on? Okay. I’m sick of playing this concert and not being able to see you so I’m just gonna have them leave the lights on this whole song so we can see you. We wanna see you. We don’t get to come to Paris very often and we’d like to see you and to remember you. So I’d like to play a song...this one goes out to my best friend.
Muzzle
[encore break]
Iha: Merci. Are you still with us? You are still with us, good. Are you having a reasonably good time? Okay, great. Well, I mean, I just wanna speak in relative terms, heh. I know it’s hot and sweaty out there...and people kicking you in the back of the head.
BC: You probably don’t know this but uh, crowdsurfing and stagediving in America...extinct, gone.
Iha: Went out. Everybody dances now.
BC: It’s gone. Everyone just dances like this now.
Iha: We’re tryin’ to catch up to Europe.
BC: So, we all know that Europe is the world leader in style and culture. Hahaha. Lights please. Haha.
Iha: But...you are not open on Sunday with a 24-hour grocery store? How ‘bout that?
BC: And how about a shower with the doors that close all the way?
Iha: Yeah, how about that? We are kidding. We are making bad American jokes, but...
