Quote #10
"I hear this rrrrrnnnnn-nnnn-nnnnn, and I think, Oh s***, man. They are revving this baby up. I started thinking about all the things I've never done, like surf or get a tattoo or tell my mom off. Mostly I think that I've never gotten to be myself. Ever. I hear that rrrrnnnn-nnn-NNNN-nnn near my ear, and I vowed to myself, Dude, if you make it out of this alive, you are going to do it, whatever it is. The big guys wrap their paws around my throat. Parker pulls out a razor, lowers it to my head. And thirty seconds later, I'm a Mohawk man." (44.46)
You hear that? That's the sound of Gonzo coming into his own like whoa. He's gone from being a paranoid hypochondriac to someone who can get a spur-of-the-moment tattoo and kiss his new boyfriend in front of his friends. Now that's a transformation.
