Director: Joel Coen, Ethan Coen
Stars: Jeff Bridges, John Goodman, Julianne Moore

After the tight plotting and quirky intensity of Fargo, this casually amusing follow-up from the prolifically inventive Coen (Ethan and Joel) brothers seems like a bit of a lark, and the result was a box-office disappointment. The good news is, The … more »



The Dude:
..Yeah, man, it really tied the room together.

Walter Sobchak:
This was a valued, uh …

The Dude:
Yeah.

Donny:
[Donny takes a seat] What tied the room together, Dude?

The Dude:
My rug.

Walter Sobchak:
Were you listening to The Dude's story, Donny?

Donny:
What?

The Dude:
Walter …

Walter Sobchak:
Were you listening to The Dude's story?

Donny:
I was bowling.

Walter Sobchak:
So you have no frame of reference here, Donny. You're like a child who wanders into the middle of a movie and wants to know -

The Dude:
Walter, Walter, what's the point, man?

Walter Sobchak:
There's no reason - Here's my point, Dude. There's no f***ing reason why these two -

Donny:
Yeah, Walter, what's your point?

Walter Sobchak:
Huh?

The Dude:
Walter, what is the poin-? Look, we all know who is at fault here - what the f*** are you talking about?

Walter Sobchak:
Huh? No, what the f*** are you … ! I'm not … we're talking about unchecked aggression here, Dude.

Donny:
What the f*** is he talking about?

The Dude:
My rug.

Walter Sobchak:
Forget it, Donny, you're out of your element!

The Dude:
Look, Walter - Walter, the Chinaman who peed on my rug, I can't go give him a bill, so what the f*** are you talking about?

Walter Sobchak:
What the f*** 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.

The Dude:
Walter, this isn't a guy who built the railroads here. This is a guy...

Walter Sobchak:
What the f*** are you...?

The Dude:
Walter, he peed on my rug!

Donny:
He peed on the Dude's rug.

Walter Sobchak:
Donny, you're out of your element! Dude, the Chinaman is not the issue here!

The Dude:
Then who...?

Walter Sobchak:
Jeff Lebowski, the other Jeffery Lebowski. The millionaire!

The Dude:
That's f***ing interesting, man. That's f***ing interesting.

Walter Sobchak:
Plus, he has the wealth, obviously, and the resources. So that there's no reason - there's no F***ING reason - why his wife should go out and owe money all over town, and then they come, and they pee on your f***ing rug! Am I wrong?
