'Course, don't ever tell anybody that they're not free… 'cause then they gonna get real busy killin' and maimin'… to prove to you that they are. Oh, yeah, they gonna talk to you and talk to you and talk to you… about individual freedom. But they see a free individual, it's gonna scare 'em. Well, it don't make 'em runnin' scared. No. It makes 'em dangerous.

Two bikers head from L.A. to New Orleans through the open country and desert lands, and along the way they meet a man who bridges a counter-culture gap of which they had been unaware.
— Where you from, man?
— Hard to say.
— «Hard to say»? Where you from, man?
— It's hard to say because it's a very long word, you know.
— I just wanna know where you're from, man.
— A city.
— What city?
— Doesn't make any difference what city. All cities are alike. That's why I'm out here now.
— Why you're out here now? Why?
— 'Cause I'm a long way from the city, and that's where I wanna be right now.
— They know you in this place?
— This place we're coming to? Or the place we're at now?
— This place.
— You're right on top of 'em.
— I'm right on top of 'em?
— Yeah. The people this place belongs to are buried right under you.
