narrating] We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember saying something like:
Raoul Duke: I feel a bit lightheaded. Maybe you should drive.
Raoul Duke: [

Raoul Duke: Holy Jesus. What are these goddamn animals?
[
swatting the air]
Raoul Duke: Huh! Huh! Huh! ******* pigs.
Dr. Gonzo: Did you say something?
Raoul Duke: Hm? Never mind. It's your turn to drive.
Raoul Duke: [
