Corgan: You, we haven't had the easiest year, as you may already know. I don't really wanna talk about that. I just wanna that, we don't talk too much anymore, but we just wanna say thank you. We appreciate...we appreciate your support very much, we like to think that you're here because you love our music, and we love our music.
Iha: I know we're not as exciting as perhaps Siegfried and Roy.
Corgan: You know you were going down the same path the last time we were here.

Iha: Oh jaded Los Angeles, hello. You wouldn't believe the stories I heard about Las Vegas. Now I know all of them are true.
Corgan: But you know, we're always known for our honestly, and I think it's time for you to fess up about your gambling addiction.
Corgan: I know it's not, it's not an OK subject, but I think you should come clean now. Oh, blackjack Iha.
Iha: Twenty one..
Corgan: No, I believe that's bust.
Iha: Bust Iha!
Corgan: Yeah, cabdriver told me today "yeah, Las Vegas is a tough town. Full of broken dreams, and lost promises."
Iha: So we'd like to dedicate this next song to that cabdriver.
Corgan: But you know what he said? He said those fucking kids in Vegas are fucking crazy. You know why? You know why? It's 'cause you live in the fucking desert and it's so hot here! What the fuck!
Iha: This next song, goes to Frank Sinatra.
