The Dirt (2019)

Christian Gehring: David Lee Roth

Quotes 

• Nikki Sixx : [narration]  Elektra Records signed us to a five-album deal.

  [Nikki passes a cymbal full of cocaine] 

  Nikki Sixx : Tommy, vacuum this mess up.

  Tommy Lee : Yes, sir.

  Nikki Sixx : [narration]  We got a fat cash advance, which meant better drugs and bigger parties.

  Tommy Lee : [narration]  We were the kings. I mean, look at this place! Everybody wanted to party with us.

  Party Goer : Can I get a fucking line, man?

  [Mick shoves the party goer away] 

  Mick Mars : Yeah, right, man. Get the fuck out of here.

  Tommy Lee : [narration]  I mean, Diamond Dave from Van Halen, right there on our fucking couch!

  [party goer approaches David Lee Roth, who is snorting his own cocaine] 

  Party Goer : Hey, can I get a line of that?

  [party goer stumbles and hits the wall, causing a mirror to crash on Roth] 

  Nikki Sixx : Whoa! What the fuck, dude?

  Party Goer : Chill out, asshole. It's cool.

  Nikki Sixx : Cool? That is David Lee Roth. How about you show a little respect or get the fuck out?

  Party Goer : Make me, motherfucker.

  [party goer shoves Nikki, only to get punched by Doc McGhee, who puts him in an arm lock] 

  Doc McGhee : You fellas are gonna need a manager.

  [Doc looks at Roth] 

  Doc McGhee : Hey Dave.

  David Lee Roth : What's everybody looking at?

  Mick Mars : [looking at audience]  This didn't actually happen. Doc never came to this filthy shithole. We met him at the Santa Monica Civic Center after a show. He also brought his partner, Doug Thaler. Doug's a good guy, and it's kinda shitty he got cut from this movie, but I think this is as good a version as any. So... on with the goddamn show.

  Tom Zutaut : Oh, good. You met Doc. He works with James Brown, KISS, you name it.

  Mick Mars : Fucking hate KISS.

  Doc McGhee : Well, I make them a shitload of money, and I take care of everything they need, which is what I'm gonna do for you.

  Nikki Sixx : Oh yeah? And how are you gonna do that?

  Doc McGhee : Look, I know what I see up there. Anyone can start a band and crap out a song or two, but not many have the vision to go the distance. And you guys need someone to guide you through the fucking wilderness.

  Nikki Sixx : And you're gonna be that someone?

  Doc McGhee : You're goddamn right I am.

  [pause] 

  Nikki Sixx : All right.

  Nikki Sixx : [narration]  This was our fucking moment.
