Interviewer: Congratulations on the Spinal Tap Playset. Spinal Tap has its first non-musical promotional product going to market.
Nigel: It's true. It's quite true. It's a proud moment for TAP.
Interviewer: And now that the product has been launched, are you pleased?
David: Oh, yes. It's fantastic.
Derek: A gem.
David: A conceptual breakthrough, really.
Interviewer: So, you've seen the item?
David: Well…define "seen"….
Derek: No, not actually "seen", per se….
Nigel: We're not entirely sure what will be going…into…the box. But the packaging…
Derek: We do have a sample of the packaging, though. Would you like to…
David: Oh, yes. The packaging is…first-class.
Nigel: Should we unveil it?
David: Yes…here it is…I mean, look at it. It's something to behold.
Nigel: This is the first packaging…of its kind.
Interviewer: It's a special kind of box?
David: I would say so! Considering that this packaging will be containing the spirit of Tap…
Derek: …the essence.
Nigel: Yes, the essence of Tap. For this reason it not only has to be appealing to the eye…it also has to meet rigorous standards. That's right. Did you know that this box right here was tested not only for aerodynamics, but for acoustics as well?
David: Quite true… this packaging is "acousto-dynamic". I bet you weren't aware of that. It's the first packaging of its type in the world, I believe.
Nigel: And look here, something else that this box can do that others cannot is…see, you can pick it up and hold it close to your ear, like this. And because this box is so special, when you hold the box close to your ear, you …you can almost hear us… play. Listen….Well, careful, now…you want to hold it close to your ear, not right next to it.
David: We certainly don't want to be held responsible for a burst eardrum.
Derek: Although, it wouldn't be the first…
Interviewer: And the contents of the box…?
Nigel: Well y'see…that's the beauty of a box like this. It doesn't matter, right? It doesn't matter. The box could be filled with twigs or dried leaves or…
Derek: Or a protective bag that you can use to carry the box, after you open it.
David: (chuckles to himself) What is Ian always telling us? Do you remember?
Nigel: That we should have stayed in school?
David: Well, yes...but no. He's always telling us to think outside the box.
Derek: Right! And there we are…
David: Outside the box.
Nigel: Outside…
Derek: I mean, there is our collective image, right on the front
David: All our smiling gobs. Well, except for Mr. Smalls.
Nigel: He looks like he's…maybe not very happy.
David: Like he's dealing with a painful case of irregularity.
(All laugh)
Nigel: David, each time we do an endorphin like this, we can expect royalties, right?
David: We'll have to consult with… what did you say?
Nigel: What, just then?
David: Did you say "endorphin"?
Nigel: Yeah…endorphin, like…promote.
David: I think the word you're looking for is "endorsing", mate.
Nigel: Oohhh, right.
David: Endorphin is definitely not the same as endorsing.
Derek: Definitely not. An endorphin is the oldest in a line of siblings whose parents are deceased.
(Silence as all nod in agreement)
Nigel: I think Viv was an endorphin.
