'Those weird years between
the '60s and the '70s,
:06:03
'the age of Nixon.
:06:05
'It was a time to keep your head down.
:06:08
'I was a working journalist, a hired geek
of sorts, and Lazlo was great company
:06:12
'and sometimes a good lawyer.
:06:14
'It was a fast, strange time,
and we worked in fast, strange ways.'

He claimed he was being chased
by Mr Nixon
:06:22
when his car was attacked
by a swarm of bats.
:06:25
Bats?
:06:26
It's obvious he was having
a paranoid drug reaction.

Every 20 minutes, he calls down to the desk,
demands to see his lawyer and hangs up.

He claims he's being held a prisoner.

:06:44

Writing?
:07:15

I'm pouring it on now. Right on the edge.
:07:20
But I made a smart move

:07:23

of the sisters of mercy.
:07:30
What are you writing?
:07:32
My Attorney Versus American Justice.
:07:35
Cute title, and, er...
:07:38
hopefully I'll be able to finish it.
