Fuck it, Dude, let's go bowling.

Sabbath got me thinking. Thinking about this. Which lead me thinking about this:

The Dude: Fuckin' Quintana... that creep can roll, man.
Walter Sobchak:
Yeah, but he's a pervert, Dude.
The Dude:
Yeah.
Walter Sobchak:
No, he's a sex offender. With a record. He served 6 months in Chino for exposing himself to an eight year old.
The Dude: Oh!
Walter Sobchak: When he moved to Hollywood he had to go door to door to tell everyone he was a pederast.
Donny:
What's a... pederast, Walter?
Walter Sobchak: Shut the fuck up, Donny.

Jesus Quintana: You ready to be fucked, man? I see you rolled your way into the semis. Dios mio, man. Liam and me, we're gonna fuck you up.
The Dude: Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.
Jesus Quintana: Let me tell you something, pendejo. You pull any of your crazy shit with us, you flash a piece out on the lanes, I'll take it away from you, stick it up your ass and pull the fucking trigger 'til it goes "click."
The Dude: Jesus.
Jesus Quintana: You said it, man. Nobody fucks with the Jesus.
Walter Sobchak: Eight-year-olds, Dude.


Which in turn, led me to thinking about The Big Lebowski in general. A must-fucking-see. You are insane to pass this one up. Great cast (Bridges [The Dude], Goodman [Walter]...Buscemi [Donny] is GOD), excellent directors (Cohen brothers are always a good time...well, except Ladykillers), and epic hilarity. The following are some good moments:


Walter Sobchak: I told those fucks down at the league office a thousand times that I don't roll on Shabbas!
Donny:
What's Shabbas?
Walter Sobchak:
Saturday, Donny, is Shabbas, the Jewish day of rest. That means that I don't work, I don't get in a car, I don't ride in a car, I don't pick up the phone, I don't turn on the oven, and I sure as shit [shouts] don't fucking roll! Shomer Shabbas!

The Dude: Walter, what is the point? Look, we all know who is at fault here, what the fuck are you talking about?
Walter Sobchak: Huh? No, what the fuck are you... I'm not... We're talking about unchecked aggression here, dude.
Donny: What the fuck is he talking about?
The Dude: My rug.
Walter Sobchak: Forget it, Donny, you're out of your element!
The Dude: Walter, the chinaman who peed on my rug, I can't go give him a bill, so what the fuck are you talking about?
Walter Sobchak:
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.
The Dude:
Jeez, Walter, I'm not talking about the guys who built the fucking railroad here.

Donny: Are these the Nazis, Walter?
Walter Sobchak: No, Donny, these men are nihilists. There's nothing to be afraid of.

Walter Sobchak: Those rich fucks! This whole fucking thing... I did not watch my buddies die face down in the muck so that this fucking strumpet...
The Dude: I don't see any connection to Vietnam, Walter.
Walter Sobchak: Well, there isn't a literal connection, Dude.
The Dude: Walter, face it, there isn't any connection.

[at the funeral parlor]
Walter Sobchak: GOD DAMN IT! Look, just because we're bereaved, that doesn't make us saps!

The Dude: Look, just stay away from my fucking lady friend.
Da Fino: Hey, I'm not messing with your special lady.
The Dude: She's not my special lady, she's my fucking lady friend. I'm just helping her conceive.

"That rug really tied the room together."

I say "Shut the fuck up Donny" ALL the time.

The "No...they're nihilist.." line is probably my favorite out of the whole movie.
That and any mention of how the rug really tied the whole room together.
It did you know, it really did.

I answered my cell phone "Dude here" for awhile too, it's how I cscreened the losers form the cool people. IF they got it good, if not...*click*

Let me find an ATM.

Peace.
