Inherent Vice Page #3

DOC:

Wait, wait, wait, I flunked social

studies:
Jews and Aryan

Brotherhood. Isn’t there

something about hatred?

AUNT REET:

Mickey’s eccentric. More and more

lately. I would say stoned out of

his f***in’ mind, since he

discovered drugs, no offense to

you, Doc.

DOC:

So where would I find him

accidentally?

AUNT REET:

I promised my little sister that

I’d never put her baby in the way

of danger.

DOC:

I’m cool with the Brotherhood,

Aunt Reet, I know their secret

handshake and everything.

AUNT REET:

It’s your ass -- try the Channel

View Estates, his latest insult to

the environment.

DOC:

Channel View Estates. The one

Bigfoot Bjornsen does the

commercials for?

AUNT REET:

That’s the one. Maybe your old

cop buddy’s the one who should be

taking care of your case.

DOC:

I did think of going to Bigfoot

but just as I reached for the

phone, history and all, I thought,

‘naaahhhhh.’

AUNT REET:

Maybe you’re better off with the

Nazis. Call your mother once in a

while so she knows you’re alive...

Doc gets up and walks to the TV, switches the channel,

finds:

5A INSERT - ON TELEVISION 5A

The commercial for “Channel View Estates” comes on after

a bad horror movie: It has LT. BIGFOOT BJORNSEN dressed

as a “hippie.” He’s wearing an ankle-length velvet cape

in paisley, love beads, shades with peace symbols and an

Afro wig. He’s like Cal Worthington, except for live

animals, he has a pack of SCREAMING KIDS that do

cannonballs in the pool of a MODEL HOME that Bigfoot’s

showing off and listing details and financing options,

etc... Bigfoot turns to the CAMERA:

BIGFOOT (V.O.)

Those li’l kids, wow, they’re

really something, huh!

BACK TO SCENE:

Doc looks confused. Bigfoot, ON SCREEN seems to be

looking STRAIGHT AT DOC... and DOC looks back... HOLD

THEIR LOOK AT EACH OTHER.

10.

DOC:

So what's all this now...

F***ing Bigfoot. Well, wouldn'tyou know. Why does the LAPD needSAG cards?

AUNT REET:

I have major liquid liner issuesto deal with here, Larry -- I'mgetting off now --

She hangs up. DOC doesn't notice and keeps talking.
