I know, that's a tough one ...as almost all of the dialog in The Big Lebowski is fucking brilliant!!! ...ok, give me your fav five quotes.


"What the fuck are you talking about? The chinaman is not the issue here, dude. I'm talking about drawing a line in the sand, dude. Across this line, you do not... Also, dude, chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature. Asian-American, please."

---

"Let me explain something to you. Um, I am not Mr. Lebowski. You're Mr. Lebowski. I'm the Dude. So that's what you call me. You know, that or uh, His Dudeness, or uh, Duder, or El Duderino if you're not into the whole brevity thing."

---

"Eight year-olds, Dude."

---

(talking about the fuckin' Pomeranian)
"What do you mean brought it bowling, Dude? I didn't rent it shoes. I'm not buying it a fucking beer. He's not taking your fucking turn, Dude."

---

"New Corvette? Hardly, Dude. I'd say he's still got about $960 - $970,000 left, depending on the options"

    Walter: "You're out of your element, Donnie!"

    Walter: "Shut the fuck up, Donnie."

    Bunny: "I'll suck your cock for a thousand dollars. Brant can't watch tho', or he has to pay a hundred."
    The Dude: "I'm just gonna go find a cash machine."

    Mr. Lebowski: "What makes a man, Mr. Lebowski?"
    The Dude: "Dude"
    Mr. Lebowski: "Is it being prepared to do the right thing, whatever the cost. Isn't that what makes a man?"
    The Dude: "Mmmm....that and a pair of testicles."

    Jesus: "Liam and me we are gonna fuck you up!"
    The Dude: "Yeah, well, you know, that's just like, your opinion, man."
    Jesus (to Walter): "Let me tell you something, you pull any of your crazy shit with us, you flash your piece out on the lanes. I'll take it away from you and stick it up your ass and pull the fuckin' trigger until it goes CLICK"
    The Dude: "Jesus"
    Jesus: "You said it man! Nobody fucks with the Jesus."

    Hand me the oozzy, Dude, chop chop.
    Oozzy?!?!
    You didn't think I was rollin' out of here naked, did you?
    -------------------------------------------------------------
    What's wrong with Walter, Dude?
    ---------------------------------------------------------------
    Has the whole world gone crazy? Am I the only one who gives a shit about the rules?!
    -------------------------------------------------------------They send us a toe and we're supposed to shit ourselves in fear. Fucking amatures!
    --------------------------------------------------------------
    The Dude abides. I don't know about you, but I take comfort in that. Knowing he's out there takin' 'er easy for all us sinners.

          Sure! Fuck it! That's your answer! Tattoo it on your forehead! Your answer to everything! Your "revolution" is over, Mr. Lebowski! Condolences! The bums lost! My advice is, do what your parents did! Get a job, sir! The bums will always lose-- do you hear me, Lebowski?

                  Donny : How come you don't roll on Saturday Walter?
                  Walter Sobchak : I'm Shomer Shabbos.
                  Donny : What's that Walter?
                  Walter Sobchak : Saturday, Donny, is Shabbos, the Jewish day of rest. That means that I don't work, I don't drive a car, I don't fuckin' ride in a car, I don't handle money, I don't turn on the oven, and I sure as shit
                  [shouts]
                  Walter Sobchak : Don't fucking roll! Shomer shabbos!
                  --------------------------------------

                  Walter Sobchak : I'm saying, I see what you're getting at, Dude, he kept the money. My point is, here we are, it's shabbas, the sabbath, which I'm allowed to break only if it's a matter of life or death...

                  The Dude : Will you come off it, Walter? You're not even fucking Jewish, man.

                  Walter Sobchak : What the fuck are you talkin' about?

                  The Dude : Man, you're fucking Polish Catholic...

                  Walter Sobchak : What the fuck are you talking about? I converted when I married Cynthia! Come on, Dude!

                  The Dude : Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...

                  Walter Sobchak : And you know this!

                  The Dude : Yeah, and five fucking years ago you were divorced.

                  Walter Sobchak : So what are you saying? When you get divorced you turn in your library card? You get a new license? You stop being Jewish?

                  The Dude : It's all a part of your sick Cynthia thing, man. Taking care of her fucking dog. Going to her fucking synagogue. You're living in the fucking past.

                  Walter Sobchak : Three thousand years of beautiful tradition, from Moses to Sandy Koufax...

                  [shouting] Walter Sobchak : You're goddamn right I'm living in the fucking past!
                  ------------------------------------------------------

          Cabbage eating?
          That's not in the movie.

          You are quoting the original script.

          Here is what was actually said...

          WALTER
          No, without a hostage there is no ransom.
          That's what ransom is. Those are the fucking rules.

          SECOND MAN
          His girlfriend gafe up her toe!

          THIRD MAN
          She sought we vould get a million dollars!

          ULI
          Iss not fair!

          WALTER
          FAIR! WHO'S THE FUCKING NIHILIST
          AROUND HERE! YOU, BUNCH OF
          FUCKING CRYBABIES?!


          Here is a link that you can find an 'updated' script
          that has what was actually said in the movie.

            What in God's name are you blathering about??

            Mind if I do a J?

            Oh and....

            The cops ask the Dude what was in his car...

            Some Creedence tapes and my briefcase....

            What was in the briefcase?

            Papers, business papers....

            And what do you do sir?

            Uh, well I'm unemployed..

            (Phone rings, Maude says she stole the rug)

            I guess we can close the case on that one.

          "jackie treehorn treats objects like women, man."

          "i'm sorry. i wasn't listening."

          "it's bush-league psyche-out stuff. laughable man, HA! i was gonna fuck you in the ass saturday, i'll fuck you in the ass next wednesday instead. you gotta date, wednesday, baby!"

          "i just wanted to say that 'branded'--the early years in particular, were a source of inspiration--"

          "is this your homework, larry?"

          "yes, yes the little lebowski urban achievers and proud we are of all of them."

          "that's a great plan walter...a swiss fuckin' watch"

          "remember dude, the brain is still the largest erogenous zone." "on you, maybe."

          "ich bring mein tools."

          "say what you will about the tenets of national socialism--at least it's an ethos."

          and plus, if you ever get a chance to see the pg-version, john goodman did some great stuff for "this is what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass": "this is what happens when you kiss a stranger in the alps!" "this is what happens when you eat ham and swiss!"

    As Walter gets ready to throw his bowling ball:

    " Show me what you got. Nihilist. DIPSHIT WITH A NINE-TOED WOMAN"

    Also,

    "I myself dabbled in pacifism at one point. Not in Nam of course."

    And,

    "You mean coitis?"

    If there were any words for the part of the scene where they introduce Jesus and Liam (sp?) while playing the GK's Hotel California cover I would put it up here. When they pan the Dude, Donnie, and Walter before the dialogue begins - it's classic, man.

    I watch this movie every day - my life is good.

            Donny was a good bowler, and a good
            man. He was. . . He was one of us.
            He was a man who loved the outdoors,
            and bowling, and as a surfer he explored
            the beaches of southern California,
            La Jolla... to La Carilla and up to Pismo.
