Perhaps this is the call you've been waiting for all this time, sir. Perhaps. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Mmm ! Really. All right. Yeah ? Oh, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. Okay. Bye. - That was headquarters. They want me to-- - Ahem. [ Coins Clatter On Ground ] [ Whispers ] Thank you. They want me to go to Las Vegas at once... make contact with a Portuguese photographer named Lacerda. He'll have all the details. All l have to do is check into my soundproof suite. He'll seek me out. - What do you think ? - Sounds like real trouble. You're gonna need plenty of legal advice before this thing is over. Oh, yeah. As your attorney, l advise you to rent a fast car with no top. And you'll need the ***. Tape recorder for special music. Acapulco shirts. Get the hell out of L.A. for at least 48 hours. - Blows my weekend. - Why ? 'Cause, naturally, l'm gonna have to go with you. We're gonna have to arm ourselves to the teeth. Well, why not ? l mean, if a thing's worth doing, it's worth doing right. This is the American Dream in action. Wait ! ***, we'd be fools not to ride this strange torpedo all the way out to the end. lndeed. We must do it. What kind of story is this ? lt's the Mint 400... the richest off-road race for motorcycles and dune buggies in the history of organized sport. lt's a fantastic spectacle... in honor of some fatback grosero... who owns the luxurious Mint Hotel in downtown Las Vegas. At least that's what the press release says. As your attorney, l advise you to buy a motorcycle. How else can you cover a thing like this righteously ? Well, we're gonna have to drum it up on our own. Pure Gonzo iournalism. [ Tires Screeching ] *** !
