BC: That’s the end of the show, thank you. No, just kidding, heh heh. Hi, how y’all doing? Thank you all for coming to this, uh, special two nights of charity concerts. Appreciate you coming very much and uh, you sure you’re alright out there? You alright? Just kidding, we don’t care. Anyone want any water? So uh, we dedicate this next song to all of you, this is called Tonight, Tonight.
Tonight, Tonight (acoustic)
BC: Hey, um, you people up there with the “Love you” sign? Whose sign is that? Those two girls? There are some empty seats down here, you should come down here and sit in them because the, the rich people who bought them aren’t coming. So you should come down. Don’t jump though, please use the escalator. And if the rich people come whose seats they are, then we’ll bring you on stage or something.

[encore break]
Iha: Thank you very much. You guys have been really great tonight. Rockin’. Um, we’d really like to thank you, tonight’s, uh, part of two nights of charity and, uh, all the proceeds go to, uh, the Hale House. And uh, it’s a really good place. And we’d like to have a special presentation now.
Jeremy Piven: Um. Hi. I’m, uh, television’s very own Jeremy Piven and I have the, uh, the great honor of introducing you to a man who’s the only one who’s actively keeping the Yankees in the Bronx, Mr. Peter Malone.
Peter Malone: Thank you, Jeremy. Folks, once again, we’re proving tonight that the impossible is possible. There’s a charity that’s here in New York called the Hale House, founded by Mother Hale. There, babies born in serious trouble are nurtured back with love. Billy and the...the Smashing Pumpkins, Billy, Jamie, James and D’arcy, the Smashing Pumpkins, have donated all the proceeds from tonight and tomorrow night to the Hale House! That is super. Now because of that, I hereby proclaim on behalf of the city of New York, this weekend forever to be known as the Smashing Pumpkins weekend. Thank you very much.
Iha: Yes, that’s right. It is now Smashing Pumpkins weekend.
BC: This means...this means we can do whatever we want in New York City at any time. Hahaha.
Iha: We’re now gonna ride the subways for free and uh, I don’t know, uh, I guess you don’t really have parking tickets here because there’s no cars, but...anyways, now we will get back to the rock that I know you’re so waiting for. Let’s get on with the show.
1979
BC: Thank you all, thank you all very much, we’ve had a wonderful time tonight. Thank you.
Transmission
(BC at 16:47: Take it down, boys, take it down. Woo! Look out! Cattle mutilations, strange appearances, funny lights over Texas. Global temperature is rising, the water’s all polluted, yes, we’re ripe for a presidental imitation for intergalactic interplanetation invasion. Yes, the Monica Lewinsky affair is just to divert our attention from the forthcoming alien invasion. It’s happening, be prepared. Here it comes.)
