To Sheila
BC: Thank you very much, thank you, thank you.
Iha: Bonjour. Ça va? Très show, oui? Uh, je suis fatigué, qu'est-ce que je suis bon American. Uh, I’m sorry, my French is horrible but I tried, I really tried. I thought that by wearing white tonight I would be really cool, but I'm really...hot, heh. Alright, uh, we're going to one of our old albums, it's an oldie but a goodie.

BC: Thank you very much, thank you, thank you, thank you. How is everybody doin’, you alright? Did anyone see us when we played here with the Buzzcocks in 1991? No really, who was there, come on. You were there? He’s lying. Well, that’s the end of the concert, thank you. Just kidding. Like to play you another new song, this is called I of the Mourning.
