drinking Singapore Slings
with mescal on the side...
:06:06
hiding from the brutish realities
of this foul year of our Lord, 1971.
:06:12
[ Muttering ]
Cops were goin' apeshit--
:06:15
Perhaps this is the call you've
been waiting for all this time, sir.
:06:21
Perhaps.
:06:23
Yeah. Mm-hmm.
:06:25
Mmm ! Really. All right.
:06:27
Yeah ? Oh, yeah, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
:06:30
Okay. Bye.
:06:31
- That was headquarters.
They want me to--
- Ahem.
:06:36
[ Coins Clatter On Ground ]
:06:38
[ Whispers ]
Thank you.
:06:41
They want me to go
to Las Vegas at once...
:06:44
make contact with a Portuguese
photographer named Lacerda.
:06:47
He'll have
all the details.
:06:49
All I have to do is check into my
soundproof suite. He'll seek me out.
:06:53
- What do you think ?
- Sounds like real trouble.
:06:56
You're gonna need plenty of legal
advice before this thing is over.
:06:59
Oh, yeah.
:07:01
As your attorney, I advise you to rent
a fast car with no top.
:07:04
And you'll need
the cocaine.
:07:06
Tape recorder
for special music.
:07:09
Acapulco shirts.
:07:11
Get the hell out of L.A.
for at least 48 hours.
:07:15
- Blows my weekend.
- Why ?
:07:17
'Cause, naturally, I'm
gonna have to go with you.
:07:21
We're gonna have to
arm ourselves to the teeth.
:07:24
Well, why not ?
:07:27
I mean, if a thing's worth doing,
it's worth doing right.
:07:32
This is the American Dream
in action.
:07:35
Wait !
:07:39
Shit, we'd be fools not to
ride this strange torpedo
all the way out to the end.
:07:43
Indeed.
We must do it.
:07:45
What kind of story
is this ?
:07:48
It's the Mint 400...
:07:50
the richest off-road race for
motorcycles and dune buggies in
the history of organized sport.
:07:54
It's a fantastic
spectacle...
:07:56
in honor of some
fatback grosero...
:07:58
who owns the luxurious Mint Hotel
in downtown Las Vegas.
