(ROCK MUSIC PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS)
Here I go
Going down, down, down
My mind is a blank
My head is spinning
Around and around
As I go deep into
the funnel of love
It's such a crazy, crazy feeling
I get weak in the knees
My poor old head is a reelin'
As I go deep into
the funnel of love
I tried and I tried,
to run and hide
I even tried to run away
Ya just can't run
From the funnel of love
It's bound to get ya someday
Deep into the funnel of love
Deep into the funnel of love

ADAM:
Ian.- IAN:
Adam, man, how are you?- ADAM:
Hey.- Is this the Supro?
- IAN:
Yeah.It's a beautiful one, man.
I hope you're gonna like
harder to find, you know?
You get one, but the
pickups are messed up.
You get one, the neck is
messed up or something.
Oh, Shit.
Adam, you want me to take off my
shoes? I think I stepped in some mud.
- Ian, I really wouldn't bother.
- All right.
ADAM:
The Supro.IAN:
1959, man.- Really nice, Ian. Thank you.
- Cool.
All the electronics, everything,
are original, of course.
- I plugged them in, made sure they work.
- Just what the doctor ordered,
as they say.
(STRUMS NOTE)
I shall call him William Lawes.
It's a male?
This one is, yeah.
(PLAYING SOFT MELODY)
Who's William Lawes?
Oh, just some old
17th-century English guy.
Wrote some great funeral music.
Then, during the English Civil War,
he was casually shot dead
by a Parliamentarian.
Oh.
That sucks.
Adam, check this one out, man.
- This one...
- Is a very strange Hagstrom from 1960.
- Swedish.
- Yeah.
- ADAM:
Look at this thing.- Heh, heh.
Look at the back.
- Heh, heh.
Seriously, man.
Wow.
And this one...
Check this out.
ADAM:
It's a Silvertone.From the very early '60s.
With an amp built into
the case. Fantastic.
IAN:
Right?Yeah.
And...
Oh, that's a lovely
Gretsch Chet Atkins.
Mm-hm.
6120, Double Cutaway.
(PLAYS MELODY)
Heh.
I once saw Eddie Cochran
play one of these.
Though he had the front pickup
modified to a Gibson P-90.
Wait. You actually saw
Eddie Cochran play?
Yeah, on YouTube.
Oh, right.
Of course, man.

MAN:
Hey, you.- I have something special for you.
- Hey. We have what you need.
I know you don't wanna play live,
I know you wanna remain anonymous,
but you being so reclusive
and everything...
is probably only gonna make people
more interested in your music.
ADAM:
Yeah.What a drag.
Listen, Ian. There is
something you can do for me.
Anything. Yeah,
anything. What is it?
I need a bullet.
A very special bullet.
Really? I got you that box of
shells with the .38 last year.
I know, the .38.
I need a .38-caliber
bullet but made of wood.
A wooden bullet? Seriously, man?
And made from the hardest and
most dense wood you can find.
I'd suggest ironwood, lignum vitae.
Maybe snakewood,
Piratinera guianensis.
Or possibly African blackwood,
Dalbergia melanoxylon.
Find someone who can
make it for me?
Yeah, but could you just...?
Could you repeat the last couple?
ADAM:
Ironwood, lignum vitae.Snakewood, Piratinera guianensis
or blackwood, Dalbergia
melanoxylon.
IAN:
Dalbergia...Okay.
Yeah, I mean, I think I know
someone, but what the hell for?
It's for a...
A project.
A secret art project.
Okay, cool, cool.
All right, let me think. Um...
Thank you, Adam.
The shell casing should be brass,
but the bullet has to be wood.
- You just want one?
