[Desire ends] Bono: "Desire... greed... show-offiness... deceit... lust – all the essentials for a performer – showman – like me. And of course... a licence... to just keep looking... in the mirror." [approaches iPad on a stand; sees a devilish face superimposed over his own image] MacPhisto: [sniggers] Crowd: [whoops] MacPhisto: "Very revealing!" [sniggers] "Please allow me to introduce myself. I'm a man of wealth and taste. I been around a long, long year... stole many a man's soul to waste. I was there when Comrade Putin flushed the euro down the loo." [chuckles] "Get the people to spy on themselves with their telephones... and there's nothing much for me to do! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Who makes this shit up?!" Crowd: [whoops and whistles] MacPhisto: "Ooh la la, Montréal!" Crowd: [cheer] MacPhisto: "Pleased to meet you." [sings] "Hope you guess myyy name!" Crowd: [cheer] MacPhisto: "Turning neighbours into enemies is the nature... of... my... game." [evil laugh] Crowd: [applause] MacPhisto: [wearily] "Oh god. Was it gold toilets or gold hair? I can't remember – what'd we give him? Oh, excuse me... Montréal? It's when you think I don't exist – that's when I do... my best work." [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!" [evil laughter] [inaudible] |
