[ Duke Narrating ]
We were somewhere around
Barstow, on the edge of the desert...
:01:06
when the drugs
began to take hold.
:01:21
[ Duke ]
I remember saying something like:
:01:24
I feel a bit lightheaded.
Maybe you should drive.
:01:28
~ [ Continues ]
:01:30
- Hmm ?
- Suddenly there was
a terrible roar all around us...
:01:34
and the sky was full of
what looked like huge bats...
:01:37
- [ Bats Screeching ]
- all swooping and screeching
and diving around the car.
:01:40
- And a voice was screaming:
- Holy Jesus, what are
these goddamned animals ?
:01:43
- [ Grunting ]
- [ Rock Continues ]
~ Come on, baby ~
:01:47
- Did you say something ?
- Hmm ?
:01:49
Never mind.
:01:51
It's your turn to drive.
:01:53
No point in mentioning
these bats, I thought.
:01:56
The poor bastard'll
see them soon enough.
:01:59
~ Baby, I'm startin'
to feel human ~
:02:01
- ~ Ohh, ohh, yeah ~
- ~ Hey, hey, Feel with me, baby ~
:02:04
- [ Grunting ]
- ~ 'Cause I feel it comin' on ~
:02:07
~ [ Continues ]
:02:09
- [ Screeching Continues ]
- Fucking pigs ! Flying !
:02:12
[ Grunting, Murmuring ]
:02:15
We had two bags of grass...
:02:17
75 pellets of mescaline...
:02:19
five sheets of
high-powered blotter acid...
:02:22
a salt shaker
half-full of cocaine...
:02:25
a whole galaxy of multicolored
uppers, downers, screamers, laughers.
:02:28
Also a quart of tequila,
a quart of rum, a case of beer...
:02:32
- a pint of raw ether...
- Shit !
:02:34
two dozen amyls.
:02:36
Not that we needed all that
for the trip...
:02:38
but once you get locked into
a serious drug collection...
:02:41
the tendency is to push it
as far as you can.
:02:45
The only thing that really
worried me was the ether.
:02:48
There is nothing in the world
more helpless and irresponsible
and depraved...
:02:52
than a man in the depths
of an ether binge...
:02:55
and I knew we'd get into
that rotten stuff pretty soon.
