"And now look at me: half-crazy with fear, driving 120 miles an hour across Death Valley in some car I never even wanted. You evil bastard! This is your work! You’d better take care of me, Lord…because if you don’t you’re going to have me on your hands."

"The decision to flee came suddenly. Or maybe not. Maybe I’d planned it all along - subconsciously waiting for the right moment."

"I took a fast right on Russell, then a left onto Maryland Parkway…and suddenly I was cruising in warm anonymity past the campus of the University of Las Vegas…no tension on these faces; I stopped at a red light and got lost, for a moment, in a sunburst of flesh in the cross-walk: fine sinewy thighs, pink mini-skirts, ripe young nipples, sleeveless blouses, long sweeps of blonde hair, pink lips and blue eyes- all the hallmarks of a dangerously innocent culture."

"Who are these people, these faces? Where did they come from? They look like caricatures of used car dealers from Dallas, and sweet Jesus, there are a hell of a lot of them at 4:30 A.M. on a Sunday morning. Still humping the American dream, that vision of the big winner somehow emerging from the last minute pre-dawn chaos of a stale Vegas casino."

"What sells, today, is whatever Fucks You Up—whatever short-circuits your brain and grounds it out for the longest possible time."

"I felt like a monster reincarnation of Horatio Alger: A man on the move, and just sick enough to be totally confident."
