Under-Standing

Well, This is 

How The World Works.

All Energy flows 

according

to the whims of 

The Great Magnet.

What a fool I was 

to defy Him.

I was going back to Vegas.

I had no choice.

I had to get rid of the Shark.

Too many people might recognize it,

especially the Vegas police.

Luckily, my credit card

was still technically valid.

Now this was a superior machine.

Ten grand worth of gimmicks

and high-priced special effects.

The rear windows leapt up with a touch

like frogs in a dynamite pond.

The dashboard was full of esoteric

lights and dials and meters …

that I would never understand.

If the pigs were gathering in Vegas …

I felt the drug culture

should be represented as well.

And there was a certain bent appeal

in the notion of running a savage burn …

on one Las Vegas hotel …

and then just wheeling across town

and checking into another.

Me and a thousand ranking cops

from all over America.

Why not move confidently

into their midst?

Welcome to the Flamingo Hotel, sir.

Sir?

Yeah, hi. Right. Okay.

Let me stay in your arms

I'm addicted to your charms

You're gettin' to be a habit with me

I used to think your love

was something that I

Could take

- Or leave alone

- My arrival was badly timed.

But now I couldn't do

without my supply

I need you for my own

This here model is one

that we had to use …

when we took on them little peckerheads

down there at Kent State.

This baby here -

I'm a police chief from Michigan.

Look, fella, I have explained to you.

I have this postcard which says that

I have a reservation in this hotel.

I'm very sorry, sir,

but you're on the late list.

- So your reservation has been

transferred to … - It's okay.

The … Moonlight Motel …

which is just out

on Paradise Boulevard.

We've already paid

for our goddamn room!

It's actually a very fine place of lodging,

and it's only 16 blocks from here.

It has a pool, sauna, steam.

You listen to me,

you filthy little faggot!

I want a manager

down here now! Now!

Because I'm sick of listening

to your dog shit!

I am … very sorry, sir.

- Get off of me! Get away from me!

- Can I call you a cab?

Sure, and I'll call you a cocksucker!

Of course, I could hear what

the clerk was really saying.

Listen, you fuzzy little shithead!

I've been fucked around in my time

by a fairly good cross section

of mean-tempered, rule-crazy cops

and now — it's My Turn.

So fuck you, Officer:

I'm in Charge.

Hey, listen, I really hate to interrupt

but I wonder if I could slide on through and get out of your way.

The Name is ‘Raoul Duke’. 

I think my attorney made the reservations.

Duke, Raoul.

Certainly, sir.

My bags - My bags are out there

in that white Cadillac convertible there.

Maybe somebody could

bring it to the room for me.

Oh, yeah, uh, let me get

a quart of Wild Turkey …

two-fifths of Bacardi …

some ice for the room, and let's see

You just calm down!

Shit, let's try some lime chunks.

What do you think?

I Say okay.

You don't worry about a thing.

Now, calm down.

You don't hesitate to call me - Sven.

All right, Sven.

Thank you very much.

- You - You -

- I know, I know, I know.

It's hideous. You're gonna

be fine, though. You're doing well.

I'll see you later.

Wait. Don't touch it.

Good night. Pardon me. 

Bye, Sven.

Look what you did!

Look what you did!

Goddamn you, we wouldn't stay

in this hotel if you begged us!

Magic Moments

When two hearts are caring

Magic moments

Memories we've been sharing

Home, sweet home.

What kind of sick shit -

Oh, shit!

Shit. What the fuck?

Stop, stop, stop.

She's biting my leg off!

You degenerate pig. Please!

Can't be helped.

My fucking leg!

That's "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds."

Lucy, be cool, goddamn it.

Remember what happened

at the airport, okay? Come on.

No more of that, okay?

That's my client, Lucy.

That's Mr. Duke, the famous journalist.

He's paying for this suite, Lucy.
