However, Lynch soon realized that Ronnie Rocket, a film that he described as being about "electricity and a three-foot guy with red hair", was not going to be picked up by any financiers, and so he asked Cornfeld to find him a script written by someone else which he could direct.
Ipak, Lynch je ubrzo shvatio da Ronnie Rocket - film čiju je radnju opisao kao "elektricitet s trometarskim tipom crvene kose" - neće biti prihvaćen od niti jednog financijera pa je zamolio Cornfelda da mu pronađe scenarij kojeg je napisao netko drugi, a koji bi Lynch mogao režirati.
