This Is Spinal Tap - Tough Times (U)
Tough times demand tough talk. David knew this, gripping the phone tightly in his hand. He had never wanted this conversation. Had never expected Nigel to leave the band, for that matter.
"Tell me what I can do."
"I don't think there is anything," Nigel replied. "I can't be around you both."
"Surely, there's something?"
"Leave her."
The words struck like a bullet through David's resolve to be lenient, and he slammed the phone down.
Tough times demand tough hearts. The following day was hell around Jeanine. David hated himself for having slammed the phone down, hated Nigel for his words... But most of all, hated her for being there, if it meant that Nigel wasn't. He pushed his heart to the side for the time being, seeing no alternative but to do the expected, and he tried not to cringe as he kissed the cheek that she pouted out at him.
Tough times demand tough songs. David wouldn't have expected it any other way – it could only take music to bring them back together, and that it did, onstage, in front of thousands of people with no room for argument. After all, he thought to himself, it takes two to tango – and to provide the guitars for a proper Tap song.
