Marty DiBergi: Let's talk about your reviews a little bit. Regarding Intravenous Di Milo: "This tasteless cover is a good indication of the lack of musical invention within. The musical growth rate of this band cannot even be charted. They are treading water in a sea of retarded sexuality and bad poetry." Nigel Tufnel: That's...that's just nitpicking, isn't it?

Nigel Tufnel: The numbers all go to 11. Look, right across the board, 11, 11, 11 and... Marty DiBergi: Oh, I see. And most amps go up to 10? 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 10. You see, most blokes, you know, will be playing at 10. You're on 10 here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on 10 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 11. Nigel Tufnel: 11. Exactly. One louder. Marty DiBergi: Why don't you make 10 a little louder, make that the top number and make that a little louder? Nigel Tufnel: [pauses] These go to 11.

David St. Hubbins: It's such a fine line between stupid, and uh... Nigel Tufnel: Clever. David St. Hubbins: Yeah, and clever.

Bobbi Flekman: You put a greased naked woman on all fours with a dog collar around her neck, and a leash, and a man's arm extended out up to here, holding onto the leash, and pushing a black glove in her face to sniff it. You don't find that offensive? You don't find that sexist? Ian Faith: This is 1982, Bobbi, c'mon! Bobbi Flekman: That's right, it's 1982! Get out of the '60s. We don't have this mentality anymore. Ian Faith: Well, you should have seen the cover they *wanted* to do! It wasn't a glove, believe me.

Nigel Tufnel: It really puts perspective on things though, doesn't it? David St. Hubbins: Too much. There's too much fucking perspective now.
