Spinal Tap II: The End Continues

directed by Marty DiBergi, 2025

[theatrepup]

Very underrated acting moment here in This is Spinal Tap (1984). David's words say one thing, but his eyes say another. And Marty sees right through it.

More evidence in favor of @bunnyprincessbecca's and my autistic Nigel agenda... he's literally going through his mental "possible tones of voice & what they mean" catalog.

(transcript under the cut!)

Marty (as action-figure Marty): "why don't you guys like me :("

Nigel: ...what voice is that?

Derek: awww...

David: he's so needy.

Nigel: -that's a sad voice.

Marty: that's a- that's a little Marty voice.

Nigel: That's a sad voice! 😟

Marty:  What happened to Stumpy Joe? Derek:  Well, uh, it's not a very pleasant story...but, uh, he died...he choked on...the official explanation was he choked on vomit. Nigel:  It was actually.... someone else's vomit. It's not....There's no real.... Derek:  You know they can't prove whose vomit it was...they don't have the facilities at Scotland Yard.... Nigel:  You can't really dust for vomit.

Marty DiBergi: It's very pretty.

Nigel Tufnel: Yeah, I've been fooling around with it for a few months.

Marty DiBergi: It's a bit of a departure from what you normally play.

Nigel Tufnel: It's part of a trilogy, a musical trilogy I'm working on in D minor which is the saddest of all keys, I find. People weep instantly when they hear it, and I don't know why.

Marty DiBergi: It's very nice.

Nigel Tufnel: You know, just simple lines intertwining, you know, very much like - I'm really influenced by Mozart and Bach, and it's sort of in between those, really. It's like a Mach piece, really. It's sort of...

Marty DiBergi: What do you call this?

Nigel Tufnel: Well, this piece is called " Let’s Talk Dirty”
