[Desire ends] Bono: "Desire... greed... lust... deceit – all the essentials for the showman in all his forms. And of course a licence... to, uh, just... look in the mirror." [approaches iPad on a stand] "Oh, I haven't seen this guy for a while." [his "reflection" is shown on the big screen, with a devilish face superimposed over his own image] "Ohh, I haven't seen this guy... for a while..." Crowd: [cheers and applause] MacPhisto: [admiringly] "Ohh! Oh, I see... a little blemish!" [points to lesion on his cheek] "Is there a dermatologist in the house?" Crowd: [whoops] MacPhisto: "I've been a busy little devil. But you've all made it so much more easy for me. I told Stalin, all those years ago, people would be spying on themselves." [whispers] "With their telephones!" Crowd: [whistles and whoops] MacPhisto: "The truth is DEAD! And the KKK are alive – out on the streets of Charlottesville without their silly costumes! Who'd have thought?!" Crowd: [whoops and applause] MacPhisto: "America: the gift that keeps on giving. Oh, St Louis. When you think I don't exist, that's when I do my best work." [hisses] [Acrobat begins] MacPhisto: "Don't believe what you hear. Don't believe what you see. If you just close your eyes... you can feel the enemyyy! FEEL! FEEL!" |
