- What an amazing event. I didn't know what was going on when I heard the helicopter...
- And then, all of a sudden, it was landing...in that huge spotlight.
- Next thing she was on stage. I can't believe they actually got Madonna to perform. No one's seen her in years! And you know what the best part is?
- No. What?
- All the satellite feeds, from all the other parties, sucked compared to this one. And you know what's better?
- What?
- The people at those parties must have thought they should be here in Venice instead.
- Happy New Year Toronto!!
- I hear they sold like 8000 tickets.
- There are more people than that here, for sure.
- Yeah, I would've crashed this party if I hadn't got a ticket.
- Speaking of crashing, where the hell are we going to crash?
- Who's crashing?
- You have a sleeping bag, right?
- Yeah.
- Well, everyone's going to squat in the buildings. There's just no way anybody's going back to the island tonight. I mean, just look at all the boats anchored out there.
- I don't want to go anyway. I want to stay forever. I could live here. All that's missing is a McDonalds.
- And somebody new on the stage every week.
- I like it when the video screens rotate back and the laser lights come through. I bet you can see it all from the shore.
- Are you kidding? They can hear it too!
- I won't be coming down off this for days!
