[Desire ends]

Bono: "Desire... greed... show-offiness... deceit... lust... vanity – all the essentials for a showman like myself. And of course, a licence... to just look... in the mirror." [approaches iPad on a stand; sees a devilish face superimposed over his own image]

Crowd: [whoops]

MacPhisto: [admiringly] "Ohhh. Ohhh..."

Crowd: [laughter and cheers]

MacPhisto: "Very... revealing!" [chuckles] "Please allow me to introduce myself. I'm a man of wealth and... taste. I've been around a long, long year... stole many a man's soul... to waste. I was there in Charlottesville, with the Nazi flags!" [gives Nazi salute] "...and the KKK."

Crowd: [whoops and whistles]

MacPhisto: "I spray-painted the First Lady's coat..."

Crowd: [laughter]

MacPhisto: "...but she still wore it, anyway!" [evil laugh]

Crowd: [laughter and applause]

MacPhisto: "You can't make this shit up."

Crowd: [cheers and applause]

MacPhisto: "Pleased to meet you!  Hope you guess... my... name. My name is actually... MacPhisto."

Crowd: [cheer]

MacPhisto: "But I sometimes dress up as Mick Jagger." [sniggers]

Crowd: [laughter and applause]

MacPhisto: "Ahh, so little to do. And Boston? Just... remember. It's when you don't believe I exist – that's when I do... my best work." [sniggers]

[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!  Haaa!"
