Hitchhiker
- Raoul Duke: I want you to understand that this man at the wheel is my attorney. He's not just some dingbat I found on the strip, man. He's a foreigner. I think he's probably Samoan. But that doesn't matter, though, does it? Are you prejudiced?
- Hitchhiker: Hell no.
- Raoul Duke: I didn't think so. Because in spite of his race, this man is extremely valuable to me. Oh, shit. I forgot about the beer. You want one?
- Hitchhiker: No.
- Raoul Duke: How 'bout some ether?
- Hitchhiker: What?
- Raoul Duke: Never mind. Let's get right to the heart of this thing. Twenty-four hours ago we were sitting in the Pogo Lounge of the Beverly Heights Hotel, in the patio section of course, drinking Singapore Slings with mescal on the side, hiding from the brutish realities of this foul year of Our Lord, nineteen-hundred and seventy one...
- Hitchhiker: Hot damn. I never rode in a convertible before.
- Raoul Duke: Is that right? Well... I guess you're about ready, then, aren't you?
- Dr. Gonzo: We're your friends. We're not like the others, man, really.
- Raoul Duke: No more of that talk or I'll put the fucking leeches on you, understand?
- Dr. Gonzo: Heh heh heh...
- Raoul Duke: [as the Hitchhiker stares at them nervously] Get in.
- Raoul Duke: My attorney understands this concept, despite his racial handicap. But do you?
- Hitchhiker: [nodding] Heh heh...
- Raoul Duke: [narrating] He said he understood, but I could see in his eyes that he didn't.
- [to hitchhiker]
- Raoul Duke: He was lying to me!
