Raul Duke : "You can turn your back on a person, but, never turn your back on a drug. Especially when it's waving a razor-sharp hunting knife in your eye. "

[Watching Dr. Gonzo leave]
Raoul Duke: "There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. Some kind of high powered mutant never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die. "

[at a bizarre circus-themed casino]
Raoul Duke: "Bazooko's Circus is what the world would be doing every Saturday night if the Nazis had won the war. This was the Sixth Reich."

Raoul Duke: "A drug person can learn to handle such things as seeing their dead grandmother crawling up their leg with a knife in her teeth. But no one should be asked to deal with this trip."

Clerk at Flamingo Hotel: Can I call you a cab?
Police Chief: [screaming] Sure, and I'll call you a cocksucker!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Raoul Duke: "We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a saltshaker half-full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of uppers, downers, laughers, screamers... Also, a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether, and two dozen amyls. Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get into a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge, and I knew we'd get into that rotten stuff pretty soon."

Raoul Duke: "You better take care of me, Lord. If you don't you're gonna have me on your hands"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dr. Gonzo: "As your attorney, I advise you to take a hit out of the little brown flask in my shaving kit."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Raoul Duke: "I wouldn't dare go to sleep with you wandering around with a head full of acid, wanting to slice me up with that goddamn knife. "
Dr. Gonzo: "Who said anything about slicing you up, man. I just wanted to cut a little Z in your forehead."
