Doesn't Hunter S. Thompson hallucate being attacked by giant bats in "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas"? Is that the source of the quote?

jervistetchThere’s a script here, and sadly it makes no mention of the line.

A DRAMATIC BREAKTHROUGH! What if… what if… Our old Devil’s Island-living friend is actually named Worthington, has someone scream to him about giant bats, causes us to batter that deceased equine, played Capt. What’s-his-name-Lindbergh-knock-off in Murder on the Orient Express, and sang the three songs in Sleuth—and secretly loves The Last of Sheila, just to throw us off the trail? ...Sheila, while drinking EXPIRED BEER that cost a confirmed $2.17 and sticking pins in the reputations of beloved but newly dead film and tv actors and their relatives and trying to figure out which John is Payne and which is Wayne , just to throw us off the trail?
Now we're in business ! Pass the  pleeze ! |

Whew ! Minor alterations. Almost there.  |

I think I found the source of the quote. However, I don't want to betray NxNWRocks if they don't want the secret revealed. I'm having a moral dilemma.

jervistetchI no longer really care about the actual quote OR its meaning.
I started the thread with the thought of helping someone who had expressed what I thought was a bit of a question. It turns out that he already knows the source of the quote and is playing the game of "I've got a secret and I won't tell !" Can't help with the "what does it mean" mystery if it's just a line totally out of context. I would say "Fagetta Bout Id" and move on to sillies at this point. Unless of course you decide to spill the beans about where with which we could maybe determine the "whuzzit mean ?  So looks like it's still dilemma and quandry time

Actually they are being petty by not revealing it. Publicly displaying a movie quote and then saying "naa naa I'm not going to tell you." is kind of a douche move. |

Good call but no Worthington [first lines] Raoul Duke: [narrating] We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember saying something like: Raoul Duke: I feel a bit lightheaded. Maybe you should drive. Raoul Duke: [narrating] Suddenly, there was a terrible roar all around us, and the sky was full of what looked like huge bats, all swooping and screeching and diving around the car, and a voice was screaming: Raoul Duke: Holy Jesus. What are these goddamn animals? [swatting the air] Raoul Duke: Huh! Huh! Huh! ****ing pigs. Dr. Gonzo: Did you say something? Raoul Duke: Hm? Never mind. It's your turn to drive. Raoul Duke: [narrating] No point in mentioning these bats, I thought. Poor bastard will see them soon enough. |

I think—think!—I might have found it, but I’m not positive yet; I don’t have an exact match for the quote, but it would make sense in the context… I’ll do a bit more checking.

Or not. Now I think I was wrong; I’m completely unable to find that exact quotation in what I thought was the source material. Honestly, @nxnwrocks , this is going to bother me even more than it will poor Bat… I like answers! (Note: a guy who looks fruitlessly for a random singer of three Cole Porter songs in Sleuth does like an answer at long last.)

OK, here's the answer: This line is said by Bob Andrews in one of the Three Investigators children's books by Robert Arthur. He and Worthington, the chauffeur, are exploring a cave or some creepy old house and they are attacked by bats.

Thank you, @nxnwrocks . I actually know the Three Investigators series fairly well, but I wouldn’t have gotten that. I was on a completely other line of reasoning (i.e., I found a character named Worthington who’s part of the X-Men comic books, and apparently in one comic he was, indeed, attacked by giant bats—but I couldn’t find any evidence of the line!). hanehanehare.blogspot.com/2010/11/three-investigators-001-secret-of_1961.html |

He and Worthington, the chauffeur, are exploring a cave or some creepy old house and they are attacked by bats. That's not a movie. This whole thing was a sham. I did read several of those books when I was a kid though. I seem to remember Alfred Hitchcock being credited with them somehow. Is that not correct? |
