Everthing I needed to know about Comic Grading I learned from Spinal Tap!

[Red Hook]

Interviewer questioning Nigel about the numbers on the dial of his amp.......

 

Nigel Tufnel: The numbers all go to eleven. Look, right across the board, eleven, eleven, eleven and....

Marty DiBergi: Oh, I see. And most amps go up to ten?

Nigel Tufnel: Exactly.

Marty DiBergi: Does that mean it's louder? Is it any louder?

Nigel Tufnel: Well, it's one louder, isn't it? It's not ten. You see, most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten on your guitar. Where can you go from there? Where?

Marty DiBergi: I don't know.

Nigel Tufnel: Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do?

Marty DiBergi: Put it up to eleven.

Nigel Tufnel: Eleven. Exactly. One louder.

Marty DiBergi: Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?

Nigel Tufnel: [Pause.] These go to eleven.

Back before I was born, my father was a dead-ringer for Derek Smalls.

 

Great scene Hook! The Marty and Nigel scenes are my favorite!

 

Nigel: Listen. Do you hear that?

Marty: No. I don't hear anything.

Nigel: Well, you would if I were playing it.

I know I will butcher the lines.

 

 

But my favorite scene is at the end, when Nigel is asked what he would do if he wasnt a Rock star.

 

Nigel " I could sell shoes... yes I could do that,

Mam, a size 7? ok here try these on.

See I could sell shoes."

 

I no longer own my VCR tape, and havent bought the DVD, yet so if some one else knows the wording to this scene, please update my vauge post here.

 

And was there ever a better song then "Sex Farm" ?
