Greetings

[sound of wind howling over a frozen tundra]
[audience applause]

[Bill Hicks:]
Thank you!
How you doin', folks?

[Audience:]
Fine!

[Hicks:]
Me, too. You got to bear with me, uh... I'm very tired, uh... very tired, I've, uh... very tired, I've, uh... travelling. And, um... I'm very tired of doing comedy and, uh...
I'm very tired of staring out at your vacant faces looking back at me... wanting me to fill your empty lives with humor you couldn't possibly think of yourselves.

Good evening!

It's been a while since I've been here, it's great to be back. Wherever I am, I always love it when I'm here.

A lot's happened, I guess. [laughs]
