Nigel Tufnel:

Marty DiBergi:

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:

Nigel Tufnel:

Marty DiBergi:

Nigel Tufnel:

Marty DiBergi:

Nigel Tufnel:
[pauses] These go to eleven.
