Intangible Posted June 25, 2003 Author Share Posted June 25, 2003 Originally posted by ARCEL good movie. how about when they sniff the shit in the bottle and try to walk into the casino DUKE Ah, devil ether. It makes you behave like the village drunkard in some early Irish novel... total loss of all basic motor skills; blurred vision, no balance, numb tongue -- (throws away kleenex) The mind recoils in horror, unable to communicate with the spinal column. Which is interesting, because you can actually watch yourself behaving in this terrible way, but you can't control it. DUKE and GONZO approach the entrance with elaborate care- taking one step at a time -- trying to keep ahead of the drug. DUKE (V/O) You approach the turnstiles and know that when you get there, you have to give the man two dollars or he won't let you inside... but when you get there, everything goes wrong. THE ETHER KICKS IN: DUKE and GONZO BOUNCE off the walls, CRASH into OLD LADIES, GIGGLE HELPLESSLY as they try to pay -- HANDS FLAPPING CRAZILY, unable to get money out of their pockets. DUKE (V/O) Some angry Rotarian shoves you and you think: What's happening here? What's going on? Then you hear yourself mumbling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WISE Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 sophomore yr in college our TV didn't work and my roommate had a box of about 40 movies. all I did was watch movies all day. But he took that one and kept it in his room and said "you're not allowed to watch this sober" Having seen it about 200 times (maybe once sober), I can say it if my favorite movie. So much shit you pick up, and so much social commentary. After seeing the movie I went and read all of his stuff, from shark hunt to ESPs "hey rube". movie is hilarious and makes much more sense when you're fucked up.."giant lizards having sex..ok, that's cool" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intangible Posted June 25, 2003 Author Share Posted June 25, 2003 http://optimusfilms.20m.com/directors/tg/bar.jpg'> DUKE (V/O) No point mentioning these bats. I thought. The poor bastard will see them soon enough. DUKE (V/O) We had two bags of grass, seventy- five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi- colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers... Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. DUKE (V/O) Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get locked into a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can.

nG Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 i read the book again recently, heres part of chapter 2... Getting hold of the drugs had been no problem, but the car and the tape recorder were not easy things to round up at 6:30 on a Friday afternoon in Hollywood. I already had one car, but it was far too slow and small for desert work. We went to a Polynesian bar, where my attorney made seventeen calls before locating a convertible with adequate horsepower and proper coloring. "Hang on to it," I heard him say into the phone. "We'll be over to make the trade in thirty minutes." Then after a pause, he began shouting: "What? Of course the gentleman has a major credit card! Do you realize who the fuck you're talking to?" "Don't take any guff from these swine," I said as he slammed the phone down. "Now we need a sound store with the finest equipment. Nothing dinky. We want one of those new Beligian Heliowatts with a voice-activated shotgun mike, for picking up conversations in oncoming cars." We made several more calls and finally located our equipment in a store about five miles away. It was closed, but the salesman said he would wait, if we hurried. But we were delayed en route when a Stingray in front of us killed a pedestrian on Sunset Boulevard. The store was closed by the time we got there. There were people inside, but they refused to come to the double-glass door until we gave it a few belts and made ourselves clear. Finally two salesmen brandishing tire irons came to the door and we managed to negotiate the sale through a tiny slit. Then they opened the door just wide-enough to shove the equipment out, before slamming and locking it again. "Now take that stuff and get the hell away from here," one of them shouted through the slit. My attorney shook his fist at them. "We'll be back," he yelled . "One of these days I'll toss a fucking bomb into this place! I have your name on this sales slip! I'll find out where you live and burn your house down!" "That'll give him something to think about," he muttered as we drove off. "That guy is a paranoid pyschotic, anyway. They're easy to spot." We had trouble, again, at the car rental agency. After signing all the papers, I got in the car and almost lost control of it while backing across the lot to the gas pump. The rental-man was obviously shaken. "Say there...uh...you fellas are going to be careful with this car, aren't you?" "Of course." "Well, good god!" he said. "You just backed over that two-foot concrete abutment and you didn't even slow down! Forty-five in reverse! And you barely missed the pump!" "No harm done," I said. "I always test a transmission that way. The rear end. For stress factors." Meanwhile, my attorney was busy transferring rum and ice from the Pinto to the back seat of the convertible. The rental-man watched him nervously. "Say," he said. "Are you fellas drinking?" "Not me" I said. "Just fill the goddamn tank," my attorney snapped. "We're in a hell of a hurry. We're on our way to Las Vegas for a desert race." "What?" "Never mind," I said. "We're responsible people." I watched him put the gas cap on, then i jammed the thing into low gear and we lurched into traffic. "Theres another worrier," said my attorney. "He's probably all cranked up on speed." "Yeah, you should have given him some reds." "Reds wouldn't help a pig like that," he said. "To hell with him. We have a lot of business to take care of, before we can get on the road." "I'd like to get hold of some preists' robes," I said. "They might come in handy in Las Vegas." But there were no costume stores open, and we weren't up to burglarizing a church. "Why bother?" said my attorney. "And you have to remember that a lot of cops are good vicious Catholics. Can you imagine what those bastards would do to us if we got busted all drugged-up and drunk in stolen vestments? Jesus, they'd castrate us!" ... :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
