mpolak21 Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Yes! Yes! Yes! Nigel Tufnel: Well, I suppose I could, uh, work in a shop of some kind, or... or do, uh, freelance, uh, selling of some sort of, uh, product. You know... Marty DiBergi: A salesman? Nigel Tufnel: A salesman, like maybe in a, uh, haberdasher, or maybe like a, uh, um... a chapeau shop or something. You know, like, "Would you... what size do you wear, sir?" And then you answer me. Marty DiBergi: Uh... seven and a quarter. Nigel Tufnel: "I think we have that." See, something like that I could do. Marty DiBergi: Yeah... you think you'd be happy doing something like-... Nigel Tufnel: "No; we're all out. Do you wear black?" See, that sort of thing I think I could probably... muster up. Marty DiBergi: Do you think you'd be happy doing that? Nigel Tufnel: Well, I don't know - wh-wh-... what're the hours? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wild Frank Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Nigel: Just listen to that sustain. Shh. Do you hear it?Marty: No.Nigel: You would, though, if it were playing. Love that one..and this: Nigel Tufnel: You like this? Marty DiBergi: It's very nice. It looks like hollow wood. Nigel Tufnel: This is my exact inner structure, done in a tee shirt. Exactly medically accurate. See? Marty DiBergi: So in other words if we were to take all your flesh and blood... Nigel Tufnel: Take them off. This is what you'd see. Marty DiBergi: It wouldn't be green though. [Nigel points at Marty] Nigel Tufnel: It is green. You see how your blood looks blue. Marty DiBergi: Yeah, well that's just the vein. That's the color of the vein. The blood is actually red. Nigel Tufnel: Oh then, maybe it's not green. Anyway this is what I sleep in sometimes.

mpolak21 Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I feel like I can start quoting Spinal Tap scenes verbatim faster than I can remember my mother's middle name (it's Eileen, but I had to think about it. "Really puts a perspective on things doesn't it? Too much, now there's too much fucking perspective." that's immediate. I'm probably going to hell (hole) for this.) --Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Moss Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Nigel Tufnel: It's like, how much more black could this be? and the answer is none. None more black. Man I love that movie. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mpolak21 Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 There was a stonehenge monument on stage in danger of being crushed by a dwarf! I love Harry Shearer in that scene. He has two lines that are perfect, first when he suggests the choreography be planned out so the dwarves don't crush the model and then "well I've got a question. Are we going to do Stonehedge tomorrow?" --Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
