Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Movie Quote Quiz

Me and a thousand ranking cops from all over America. Why not? Move confidently into their midst.

Raoul Duke: There was only one road back to L.A. - U.S. Interstate 15. Just a flat-out high speed burn through Baker and Barstow and Berdoo. Then onto the Hollywood Freeway, and straight on into frantic oblivion. Safety. Obscurity. Just another freak, in the freak kingdom.
