: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.
:08:01
At least that's what
the press release says.
:08:03
As your attorney,
I advise you to buy a motorcycle.
:08:06
How else can you cover
a thing like this righteously ?
:08:09
Well, we're gonna have to
drum it up on our own.
:08:13
Pure Gonzo journalism.
:08:15
[ Tires Screeching ]
:08:17
Shit !
:08:19
[ Tires Screech ]
:08:24
[ Duke ] Getting hold of the drugs
and shirts had been no problem...
:08:28
but the car and tape recorder were
not easy things to round up at 6:30...
:08:31
on a Friday afternoon
in Hollywood.
:08:33
Sounds beautiful.
Great. Hang on to it.
:08:36
Fuckin' A, the gentleman has
a major credit card !
:08:39
That's right, man. Don't take any guff
from these fucking swine.
:08:43
I just got through
saying that.
:08:45
Do you realize who the fuck
you're talking to ? Do you ?
:08:49
Be over in 30 minutes.
:08:54
[ Duke ]
We're gonna need a sound store.
:08:56
- [ Gonzo ] We won't make the nut
unless we have unlimited credit.
- We will, man.
:08:59
You Samoans
are all the same.
