Eva Marquez:
Big deal. Old guy had an old guitar.

Omar:
Old ain't bad with guitars or men. A Gibson L-double-oh. Early 1930's. Mr. Robert Johnson's axe of choice. Great shape. You'd get six, eight grand for it.

Eva Marquez:
That's why a homeless guy had it. Who's Robert Johnson?

Omar:
Who's Mozart? Who's Charlie Parker?

Eva Marquez:
Who's Chano Pozo?

John Amsterdam:
Oo, hoo, hoo.

Omar:
Cuban percussionist. Used to play Big Band bebop with Diz.

John Amsterdam:
Co-wrote "Manteca".

Omar:
Ouch.

John Amsterdam:
Robert Johnson invented the Blues.

Omar:
Sold his soul to the Devil to do it.

Eva Marquez:
For what? Immortality?

John Amsterdam:
Who'd want that?

Omar:
To play this thing like no one ever has before, or since. You dig Chano? My man RJ will melt your brain.
