Fuck You
Wretzky: I want to say hello to the people behind us. This is a very nice island, although it's kinda weird having people behind us.
Iha: Thank you. How is everyone? Groovy? What? Are you screaming about [unintelligible]. I do not know what I've done. If so we're ready to rock.
Corgan: They wanna know if you support the All Blacks team.
Iha: I don't know who they are, to tell you the truth.
Corgan: Oh, come on. He played a little rugby in his day.
Iha: It was some fucked up shit, they scored a goal, it was like a game with a pith helmet and runs, that type.
Corgan: He didn't realize it was australian rules football.
Iha: Oh. Yeah, yeah, I am playing the [unintelligible] as the devil's advocate. I knew that. I knew it was australian rules, I was just trying to get in your head. I'm sorry.

Encore One:
Iha: Hi.
Corgan: We were sitting back there, wondering if you wanted us to come back out, but...
Iha: We're so deaf, we thought everyone had left.
1979
(blues jam)
Iha: Oh god, that was so painful. And now, we're gonna play the cyber-blues. Our style of blues.
Iha (with accent): Who has a bow and arrow to shoot me on the [unintelligible]? I beg you, please, take me away from this rock tour. I'm so-
Wretzky: [unintelligible]
Corgan: No, up, not down. No no no. Put the lights on. Both lights. Just wanted to say hello, hello. I'd like to say hello to you, officer friendly right there.
Iha: I'd like to report this one, he's been looking at my bum!
Corgan: That's why he's looking at it, he's there to protect it.
Corgan: Woah! Woah! See, officer friendly was distracted by that rant.
Iha: Ladies and gentlemen, sit the fuck down. Don't lose your fucking minds.
Corgan: If you come up on this stage, we will kick your ass.

Encore Three:
Iha: [unintelligible] No, I'm just kidding, thank you very much, we're very glad you came. We'll be rocking any second.
