As in many a noir, the P.I. linked to the scene--
here in IV out cold on the ground---is a suspect.
In Bigfoot's case, pre-emptive judging, of course,
his defining attitude.
also reminds me of that related theme throughout
P's oeuvre--those in power blaming the victim.
And then there is this 'joke':
'Watch your head'
'Watch my....how'm I spoze to do that, man?"
Doc just joking? head-banged and still out of it?
He can't be that stupid...
Din't work for me...lame one.
