Eating Raoul

Hollywood, California.
City of contrast.

:01:30

Home to the rich and powerful...

:01:32

...yet so popular
with the broken and destitute.

:01:35

Here, sex hunger is reflected
in every aspect of daily life...

:01:39

...and instant gratification
is tirelessly pursued.

:01:44

A center of casual violence
and capricious harassment...

:01:47

...where rampant vice and amorality
permeate every strata of society.

:01:52

The barrier between food
and sex has dissolved.

:01:58

It is a fact that prolonged exposure
to such a psychopathic environment...

:02:02

...will eventually warp even the most
normal and decent among us.

:02:07

This, then, is the story
of Hollywood today.

:02:09

Not a pretty story, but presented
here exactly as it happened.

:02:15

Really? Stomach cramps?
But it's such a good buy.

:02:19

So is lighter fluid at $ 1.50 a pint...

:02:21

...but I wouldn't serve it
to my dinner guests.

:02:24

-Forget about Mountain Brook.
-My date wouldn't know the difference.

:02:28

How about a nice...

:02:31

...Beaujolais?

:02:32

I'm sure it would go very well
with your meat.

:02:35

-How much?
-$3.50 plus tax.

:02:38

All right.
I'll take it on your say-so.

:02:46

Now, you let me know
if you're not completely satisfied.

:02:49

With the wine, you mean?

:02:52

Bland, did you refuse that customer
a bottle of Mountain Brook?

:02:55

I certainly did. It's undrinkable.

:02:57

I'm not interested in your opinion,
Mr. Gourmet.
