- [Metallica is asked to record a radio promo]
- Lars Ulrich: Hey it's Lars from Metallica. I'm about to stick 50 grand up your ass...
- James Hetfield: ...One dollar at a time.
- Jason Newsted: At that time, the managers suggested that we have a psychotherapist come in. A man that meets with pro ball teams, you know - big-ego, big-dollar guys that can't get along, but have to make some kind of entity flow, so everybody else and everybody can make the money. And, uh, I actually said, "I think that this is really fucking *lame* - weak - that we cannot get together. Us! Look - the *biggest heavy band of all time*! The things we've been through and decisions we've made... about squillions of dollars and squillions of people... and this? We can't get over this?"
- Kirk Hammett: So what's Jason's role in all this?
- James Hetfield: What? Who?
- Marc Reiter: OK, fine, I mean... But I don't think Jason has any role.
- Cliff Burnstein: He lost his icon status when he left Metallica.
- Robert Trujillo: [during Audition] I could try "Battery."
- Lars Ulrich: Battery? You can play that fast with your fingers?
- Robert Trujillo: Yeah!
- [Lars records a yell and falls to the ground, exhausted]
- Lars Ulrich: [shouts] Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!
- Bob Rock: I want four of them. Do it again.
- Kirk Hammett: [in the "Tough Riff" scene from the Additional Scenes] Yeah, yeah. I got that. It's the notes in between that are fucking with me.
- Lars Ulrich: When I was running this morning, I was thinking about seeing you today, and the word "fuck" just comes up so much. Seriously, it's really true.
- James Hetfield: Is that in anger?
- Lars Ulrich: No, just, "Fuck!" "Fuck." I just think you're so fucking self-absorbed. And what makes it worse is that you always talk about... You always talk about me. You use the word "control" and "manipulation" a lot. I think you control on purpose, and I think you control inadvertently. I think you control by the rules you always set. I think you control by how you always judge people. I think you control by your absence. I think you control all of this even when you're not here. I don't understand who you are. I don't understand the program. I don't understand all this stuff, okay? I realize now that I barely knew you before. And all these rules and all this shit, man, this is a fucking rock 'n' roll band. I don't want fucking rules. I understand that you need to leave at four. I respect it. But don't tell me I can't sit and listen to something with Bob at 4:15 if I want to. What the fuck is that? You know, I don't wanna end up like Jason, okay? I don't want to be pushed away. I don't want it to happen twice. Let's do it, and let's fucking do it full-on or let's not do it at all. Fuck. See? Fuck. Fuck!
- [screams in James' face]
- Lars Ulrich: Fuck!
- [after getting his anger out]
- Lars Ulrich: Fuck. You see. Fuck. Fuuuck.
- [in Hetfield's face]
- Lars Ulrich: FUUUUCK!
