Scene 26
- Marty gets some one-on-one-on-one time with David and Jeanine, and Jeanine confesses that she has a lot of influence over David in pretty much every aspect of his life. Including his music. She's sort of the "critic behind the artist."
- David also acknowledges that things between Jeanine and Nigel are not quite peachy keen.
- Seems there's some jealousy and/or resentment going both ways in this little love/hate triangle.
Scene 27
- Nigel plays the piano for Marty, and he's actually pretty good. Those look like his real hands, too. (There wasn't a lot of CGI back in 1984.)
- Nigel's working on a little pet project—a musical trilogy in the key of D, the saddest of all keys. Which is fitting, because the title "Lick My Love Pump" is certainly depressing.
Scene 28
- The boys run into a bit of trouble at airport security when Derek repeatedly sets off the metal detector, despite turning in his keys, tuning fork, etc.
- Fortunately, he's allowed to go through once it's determined that he was merely giving himself a little help in the, ahem, cucumber department. If you get our drift. Curse you, aluminum foil.
Scene 29
- It's magic time. Spinal Tap performs the fan favorite "Heavy Duty." Nigel's tongue is in peak form.
Scene 30
- In a Chicago hotel room, the band meets Artie Fufkin, a promotions guy from Polymer Records. (Man, these folks from Polymer have got some names, haven't they?)
