Build a movie plot around this: What kind of car does the duo rent? Chevrolet Impala convertible
In a fire-apple red convertible under the desert sun, Raoul Duke (Johnny Depp), and Dr. Gonzo (Benicio Del Toro) drive to Vegas with a suitcase full of drugs. Somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, the drugs begin to take hold...Suddenly Duke notices black bats flying over their heads and around the car, and he tries to kill them with a flyswatter. "Holy Jesus, what are these goddamn animals?" They pull over and Gonzo takes over driving. "'No point in mentioning these bats', I thought. 'The poor bastard will see them soon enough.'" Duke inspects the contents of the case in the trunk: marijuana, mescaline, cocaine, amyls, ether, liquor, LSD, and a huge assortment of other drugs. He takes some of them and they drive off with a dead bat on the road behind them.A report comes on the radio about drugs killing American soldiers, which is quickly changed to "One Toke Over The Line" by Brewer and Shipley. Gonzo sings the wrong tune. They spot a hitchhiker (Tobey Maguire) and Gonzo begins to pull over, but Duke panics. "We can't stop here! This is bat country!" They drive back and pick him up nonethless. It turns out he had never been in a convertible before. "Is that right? Well, I guess you're about ready then aren't you?" "We're your friends. We're not like the others man, really," says Gonzo. "No more of that talk or I'll put the fucking leeches on you, understand?" Says Duke. The hitchhiker is confused, but Duke just smiles at him, cigarette holder clenched in his teeth. "Get in."With the hitchhiker in the back seat, they drive on at top speed again. Duke begins to get paranoid that the hitchhiker will think they are part of the Manson family, so he decides to explain the situation. He jumps over the seat and sits beside the nervous hitchhiker. He introduces Dr. Gonzo, his Samoan attorney. They explain how they are going to cover the Mint 400 race and find the American Dream, and the True Story of how they got there.Flash back to them sitting in the Beverly Heights Hotel, where they get a phone call...
