Already deep into their drug stash, Duke and Gonzo and disoriented, with no recollections of the nights before. Las Vegas is getting uglier and uglier. They are getting the Fear. One afternoon, they go to the Circus Circus, which turns out to be a very bad idea. Mescaline, clowns, acid and trapeze acts do not sit well with the Medulla. When Duke gets back to the hotel from aimless outside wanderings, he finds Gonzo in the bathtub with Jefferson Airplane blasting at top volume, and waving a knife, after ingesting an amazing amount of acid. Gonzo asks to be killed at the climax of the song. Will Duke do it?
"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"
