:09:02
You have no faith in the essential
decency of the white man's culture.

[ Duke Narrating ]
The store was closed...
:09:09
but the salesman said
he could wait if we'd hurry.
:09:12
- [ Horns Honking ]
- [ Sirens Wailing ]
:09:14
But we were delayed en route
when the Stingray in front of us
killed a pedestrian.
:09:18
We had trouble again
with the car rental agency.
:09:21
Mr. Duke, we're all settled.
If I could get your John
Hancock, you're on your way.
:09:25
- Yeah.
- You're gonna be real careful
with this car, right ?
:09:29
Oh, yeah, man.
Of course.
:09:35
[ Tires Screech ]
:09:37
[ Panting ]
Holy smokes !
:09:40
You just backed over
a 2-foot concrete abutment,
you didn't even slow down.
:09:44
What, were you going about,
uh, oh, I don't know,
45 miles an hour backwards ?
:09:47
- There's no harm done.
- Oh ?
:09:49
I always test the transmission that way,
the rear end for stress factors.
:09:52
- Boy, this is really a nice pen, man.
- Hey, uh, listen, you--
:09:55
you fellas haven't been,
uh, drinking, have you ?
:09:58
- No. Not me.
- Oh. Well--
:10:00
- We're responsible people.
- [ Engine Revving, Tires Screeching ]
:10:03
Damn it,
you've got my pen !
:10:06
Goddamn hippies !
:10:11
We spent the rest of that night rounding
up materials and packing the car.
:10:15
Then we ate some mescaline
and went swimming.
:10:20
Our trip was different.
:10:22
It was to be
a classic affirmation...
:10:24
of everything right and true
in the national character...
:10:27
a gross physical salute
to the fantastic possibilities
of life in this country.
:10:30
But only for those
with true grit.
:10:32
And we are chock full
of that, man.
:10:35
Damn right !
:10:37
My attorney understands this concept,
despite his racial handicap.
:10:41
- But do you ?
- [ Giggling ]
:10:43
He said he understood, but I could
see in his eyes that he didn't.
:10:48
- He was lying to me.
- [ Gonzo Screams ]
:10:52
Ohh ! Aaah !
