# See themtumbling down #
# Pledging their loveto the ground #
A way out westthere was this fella,
fella I wantto tell you about,
fella by the nameof Jeff Lebowski,
at least thatwas the handle
That his loving parents gave him.
But he never had much use for it himself.
This Lebowski, he called himself The Dude.
Now Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply
where I come from.
But then, there was a lot about The Dude
that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me,
and a lot about where he lived, likewise.
But then again,
maybe that's why I found the place so dern interesting.
They call Los Angeles The City of Angels.
I didn't find it to be that exactly.
But I'll allow there are some nice folks there.
'Course I can't say I seen London,
And I never been to France,
And I ain't never seen no queen in her damned undies
as the fella says.
But I'll tell you what,
after seeing Los Angeles
And this a-here story I'm about to unfold,
Well, I guess I seen somethin'
every bit as stupefyin'
as you'd see in any of those other places,
and in English, too.
So I can die with a smile on my face
without feeling like the good Lord gypped me.
Now this here story I'm about to unfold
took place back in the early nineties,
just about the time ofour conflict with Saddam
and the Iraqis.
I only mention it 'cause sometimes there's a man,
I won't say a hero,
'Cause what's a hero?
But sometimes there's a man,
and I'm talking about The Dude here,
sometimes there's a man,
he's the man for his time and place.
He fits right in there,
and that's The Dude,
in Los Angeles.
And even if he's a lazy man,
and The Dude was most certainly that,
quite possibly the laziest in Los Angeles county,
which would place him high in the running
for laziest worldwide.
But sometimes there's a man,
sometimes...There's a man.
Wow, lost my train of thought here.
I done introduced him enough.
All for a collective action.
This will not stand.
This will not stand,
this aggression against Kuwait.
# Here on the rangeI belong #
# Drifting along with the tumbling #
# Tumbleweed #
Where's the money, Lebowski?
I want that money, Lebowski.
Bunny says you're good for it.
Where's the money, Lebowski?
Where's the fucking money, shithead?!
It's down there somewhere, let me take another look.
Don't fuck with us!
Your wife owes money to Jackie Treehorn,
That means you owe money to Jackie Treehorn.
Ever thus to deadbeats, Lebowski.
No, no, don't do that
Not on the rug, man.
See?
See what happens, Lebowski?
You see what happens?
Nobody calls me Lebowski.
You got the wrong guy. I'm The Dude, man.
Your name's Lebowski, Lebowski.
Your wife is Bunny.
My my wife..my wife Bunny?
Do you see a wedding ring on my finger?
Does this place look like I'm fucking married?
The toilet seat's up, man.
What the fuck is this?
Obviously, you're not a golfer.
Woo?
Isn't this guy supposed to be a millionaire?
Yeah, what do you think?
He looks like a fucking loser.
Hey, at least I'm housebroken.
Fucking time wasted.
Thanks a lot,asshole.
# The man in me will do #
# Nearly any task #
# And as for compensation #
# There's a littlehe would ask #
# Take a woman like you #
# To get through #
# To the man in me #
# The storm clouds are raging #
# All around my door #
# I think to myself #
# I might not take it anymore #
# Take a woman like your kind #

# But, oh #
# What a wonderful feeling #
# Just to know that you are near #
# That sets my heart a-reelin' #
# From my toes #
# Up to my ears #
# The man in me will hide sometimes #
# To keep from being seen #
# But that's just because #
# He doesn't want to turn into some machine #
# Take a woman like you #
# To get through #
# To the man in me #
I'm throwing rocks tonight.
Mark it, Dude.
This was a valued rug.
This was a...
Yeah, man, it really tied the room together.
So this was a valued
What tied the room together, Dude?
My rug.
Were you listening toThe Dude's story, Donny?
What?
Were you listening to The Dude's story?
I was bowling.
So you have no frame of reference here, Donny.
You're like a child
who wanders in in the middle of a movie
Walter, what'sthe point, man?
There's no reason--here's my point, Dude
There's no fucking reason--
Yeah, Walter, what's your point?
Walter, what is the point--
Look, we all know who is at fault here.
What the fuck are you talking about?
No, what the fuck are you--
We're talking about unchecked aggression here, Dude.
What the fuck is he talking about?
My rug.
Forget it, Donny, you're out of your element.
Walter, the chinaman who peed on my rug,
I can't go give him a bill.
So what the fuck are you talking about?
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.
Walter, this isn't a guy who built the railroads here,
this is a guy
What the fuck are you talking
Walter, he peed on my rug.
He peed on The Dude's rug.
Donny, you'reout of your element.
Dude, the chinaman is not the issue here.
So, ... who..
Jeff Lebowski.
The other Jeffrey Lebowski,
the millionaire.
That's fucking interesting, man.
That's fucking interesting.
Plus, he has the wealth, obviously,
and the resources,
so that there's no reason
there's no fucking reason
why his wife should go out
and owe money all over town,
and then they come
and they pee on your fucking rug!
Am I wrong? No.
Am I wrong?
Ok, then.
That rug really tied the room together,
Did it not?
Fuckin' a!
And this guy peed on it.
Donny, please.
You know, this is the fucking guy
I could find this fucking Lebowski guy.
His name is Lebowski?
That's your name, Dude.
This is the guy
who should compensate me for the fucking rug.
His wife goes out
and owes money all over town,
and they pee on my rug?
They pee on your fucking rug.
They pee onmy fucking rug.
That's right, Dude.
They peed on your fucking rug.
This is the study.
As you can see,the various commendations...
"Jeffrey Lebowski."
Honorary degrees,etcetera.
very impressive.
Oh, please feel free to inspect them.
Oh, no, I'm not really that
Oh, please, please.
That is the key to the city of Pasadena,
Which Mr. Lebowski received 2 years ago
In recognition ofhis various civic ...
Oh, that'sthe Los Angeles
Chamber of Commerce Business Achiever Award,
which is given
oh, not necessarily given every year.
Hey, is this, is this him with Nancy?
Yes, indeed, that is Mr. Lebowski
with the first lady, yes, it was taken when
That's, Lebowski on the left there?
Yeah, of course. Mr. Lebowski on the left
so he's a cripple
Uh, you know,a handicapped guy?
Mr. Lebowski is disabled, yes.
Uh, this picture was taken
when Mrs. Reagan was first lady of the nation,
Yes, yes. Not of California.
Pope John.
..in fact, he met privately with the President,
though unfortunately,
There wasn't enough time for a photo opportunity.
Oh, Nancy's pretty good.
Oh, wonderful woman. we're very happy
these are ...
oh, those are Mr. Lebowski's children, so to speak.
Different mothers, huh?
Racially, pretty cool.
They're not literally his children.
They're the little Lebowski Urban Achievers,
Inner-city children of promise
but without the necessary means for
necessary means for a higher education.
So Mr. Lebowski is committed
to sending all of them to college.
Excuse me.
Thank you. Thank you.
Far out.
Think he's got room for one more?
You never went to college.
Please,don't touch that.
Yeah, no, I did,but, you know,
I spent most of my time, um,
occupying various administration buildings,
smoking a lot of thai stick,
breaking into the R.O.T.C.,
and bowling.
to tell you the truth, Brandt,
I don't remember most of it.
Ok, sir, you're a Lebowski, I'm a Lebowski,
That's terrific.
But I'm very busy, as I imagine you are.
What can I do for you, sir?
Uh, well,  sir, it's,
this rug I have.
It really tied the room together.
You told Brandt on the phone, he told me.
Where do I fit in?
Well, they were
They were looking for you, these 2 guys.
I'll say it again.
You told Brandt on the phone, he told me.
I know what happened. Yes? Yes?
Oh, so you know that
They were trying to piss on your rug?
Did I urinateon your rug?
You mean, did you personally come
and pee on my rug?
Hello! Do you speak English, son?
Parla usted ingles?
I'll ask you again. Did I urinate on your rug?
No, like I said, Woo peed on my rug.
I just want to understand this, sir.
Every time a rug is micturated upon
In this fair city, I have to compensate the person
Come on, man,
I'm not trying to scam anybody here.
..you know,I.. was just
You were just looking for a handout
like every other...
Are you employed, Mr. Lebowski?
Uh, wait, let me
let me explain something to you.
I am not Mr. Lebowski. You're Mr. Lebowski.
I'm The Dude. So that's what you call me,
You know, thator, his Dudeness,
Or, Duder, or, you know, el Duderino,
If you're not in to the whole brevity thing.
Are you employed, sir?
Employed?
You don't go out looking for a job
dressed like that,do you, on a weekday?
Is this a..what day is this?
Well, I do work, sir.
So if you don't mind
No, I do mind.
Uh, The Dude minds.
This will not stand,you know.
This aggression will not stand, man.
I mean, your wife owes
My wife is not the issue here!
I hope that some day my wife
will learn to live on her allowance,
which is ample, but if she does not,
that is her problem, not mine,
just as the rug is your problem,
just as every bum's lot in life
is his own responsibility,
regardless of whohe chooses to blame.
I didn't blame anyone for the loss of my legs.
Some chinaman took them from me in Korea.
But I went out and achieved anyway.
I cannot solve your problems,  sir,
only you can.
Oh, fuck it.
Yes, that's your answer.
That's your answer to everything.
Tattoo it on your forehead.
Your revolution is over,  Mr. Lebowski!
Condolences!
The bums lost!
My advice to you is to do what your parents did!
Get a job, sir!
The bums will always lose!
Do you hear me, Lebowski?!
The bums will always lose!
How was your meeting, Mr. Lebowski?
Ok. The old man told me to take any rug in the house.
Well, enjoy,
and perhaps we'll see you again some time, Dude.
Yeah, sure, if I'm in the neighborhood,
You know, and ...
I need to use the John.
Blow on them.
Go ahead, blow.
You want me to blow on your, toes?
I can't blow that far.
Are you sure he won't mind?
He really doesn't care about anything.
He's a nihilist.
Oh, and that must be exhausting.
You're not blowing.
Our guest has to be getting along, Mrs. Lebowski.
Oh, you're Bunny.
I'll suck your cock for $1,000.
Wonderful woman.
We're all..we're all very fond of her.
Very free-spirited.
Brandt can't watch, though,
Or he has to pay 100.
..that's marvelous.
Uh, I'm just gonna go find a cash machine.
Slamming them tonight.
You guys are dead in the water.
All right! Way to go, Donny!
If you will it, it is no dream.
You're fucking 20 minutes late, man.
What the fuck is that?
Theodore Herzel.
The state of Israel. If you will it, Dude,
It is no dream.
What the fuck you talking about, man?
The carrier. What's in the fucking carrier?
Oh, Cynthia's dog.
I think it's a Pomeranian.
I can't leave him home alone
or he eats the furniture.
I'm watching it
while Cynthia and Marty Ackerman
are in Hawaii.
You brought a fucking Pomeranian bowling?
What do you mean,"brought it bowling"?
I didn't rent it shoes,
I'm not buying it a fucking beer,
he's not taking your fucking turn, Dude.
Man, if my fucking ex-wife
asked me to take care of her fucking dog
while she and her boyfriend went to Honolulu,
I'd tell her to go fuck herself.
Why can't she board it?
First of all, Dude, you don't have an ex.
Secondly, this is a fucking show dog
with fucking papers.
You can't board it. It gets upset.
Its hair falls out.
The fucking dog has fucking papers.
Over the line!
I'm sorry, Smokey, you were over the line.
That's a foul.
Bullshit. Mark it 8, Dude.
Uh, excuse me, mark it zero. Next frame.
Bullshit, Walter. Mark it 8, Dude.
Smokey, this is not 'nam, this is bowling.
There are rules.
Hey, Walter, come on,it's just
Hey, man, it's Smokey.
So his toe slipped over a little.
You know, it's just a game, man.
This is a league game. This determines
who enters the next round-robin.
Am I wrong?
Yeah, but I wasn't
Am I wrong?
Yeah, but I wasn't over.
Give me the marker, Dude.
I'm marking an 8.
Smokey, my friend,
You're entering a world of pain.
Walter, man.
You mark that frame an 8,
You're entering a world of pain.
A world of pain.
Look, Dude, this is your partner.
Has the whole world gone crazy?!
Am I the only one around here
who gives a shit about the rules?!
Mark it zero!
They're calling the cops, man.
Put the piece away.
Mark it zero!
Walter, put the piece away.
You think I'm fucking around here?
Mark it zero!
All right, it's fucking zero.
You happy,you crazy fuck?
It's a league game, Smoke.
You can't do that, man.
These guys, you know, they're like me.
They're pacifists.
Smokey was a conscientious objector.
You know, Dude, I, myself,
dabbled in pacifism at one point,
not in 'nam, of course.
And you know he's got emotional problems, man.
You mean, beyond pacifism?
He's fragile,Very fragile.
Huh. I did not know that.
..it's all water under the bridge,
and we do enter the next round-robin.
Am I wrong?
No, you're not wrong.
Am I wrong?
You're not wrong,Walter,
you're just an asshole!
Ok, then.
We play Quintana and O'Brien next week.
They should be pushovers.
Man, will you just
Just take it easy, man.
You know, that's your answer for everything, Dude.
And let me point out something.
Pacifism is not look at our current situation
with that camelfucker in Iraq.
Pacifism is not something to hide behind.
Just take it easy, man.
I'm perfectly calm, Dude.
Yeah, wavingthe fucking gun around?
Calmer than you are.
Will you just take it easy?
Calmer than you are.
Dude, this is Smokey.
Look, I don't want to be a hard-on about this,
and I know it wasn't your fault,
but I just thought it was fair to tell you
that Gilbert and I will be submitting this to the league
and asking them to set aside the round,
I don't know, maybe forfeit it to us.
So, like I say, just thought, you know, fair warning.
Tell Walter. I'm sorry.
Mr. Lebowski, this is Brandt at,
well, at Mr. Lebowski's office.
Please call us as soon as it's convenient.
Mr. Lebowski, this is Bill Selliger
of the Southern Cal Bowling League,
and I just got an informal report
that a member of your team, a Walter Sobchak,
drew a firearm during league play.
If this is true,of course,
it contravenes a number of the league's bylaws
and also article 27 of the league
Dude, I..finally got..I got the,
the venue I wanted.
I'm performing my dance quintet,
you know, my cycle,
at Crane Jackson's fountain street theater
on Tuesday night,
and, well, Id' love it if you came
and gave me notes.
I'll be there, man.
tomorrow's already the 10th.
Far out.
Oh. all right, ok.
Just, just slip the rent under my door.
...serious infraction
and examine your standing. Thank you.
Mr. Lebowski, Brandt again.
Please do call us as soon as you get in,
and I'll send a limo.
I hope you're not avoiding this call
because of the rug..
Which, I assure you, is not a problem.
We need your help, and ...
Well, we'd very much like to see you.
Thank you. it's Brandt.
We've had some terrible news.
Mr. Lebowski's in seclusion in the west wing.
Funny...
I can look back on a life of achievement,
challenges met,
competitors bested,
obstacles overcome.
I've accomplished more than most men
and without the use of my legs.
What makes a man, Mr. Lebowski?
I..don't know, sir.
Is it being prepared to do the right thing?
Whatever the cost?
Isn't that what makes a man?
Sure, that and a pair of testicles.
You're joking.
But...
Perhaps you're right.
You mind if I do a "j"?
Bunny...
Excuse me?
Bunny Lebowski,
She is the light of my life.
Are you surprised at my tears, sir?
Fuckin' a.
Strong men also cry.
I received this fax this morning.
As you can see,
it is a ransom note.
"We have Bunnie."
Written by men who are unable to achieve
on a level field of play.
"Gather one million dollars
in unmarked,non-consecutive twenties."
Weaklings.
"Await instructions."
Bums!
"No funny stuff."
Bummer.
This is a bummer, man.
That's, that's a bummer.
Brandt will fill you in on the details.
Mr. Lebowski is prepared to make
a generous offer to youto act as courier
once we get instructions for the money.
Why me, man?
He believes the culprits might be the very people
who ...soiled your rug,
and you're in a unique position
to confirm or disconfirm
that suspicion.
He thinks the carpet pissers did this?
Well, Dude, we just don't know.
Fucking Quintana.
That creep can roll, man.
Yeah, but he's a pervert, Dude.
No. He's a sex offender with a record.
He did 6 months at chino
for exposing himself to an 8-year-old.
When he moved to Hollywood,
He had to go door-to-door
to tell everyone he was a pederast.
What's a pederast, Walter?
Shut the fuck up,Donny.
How much they give you?
And, of course, I still get to keep the rug.
Just for making the hand-off?
Yeah. They gave, Dude a beeper.
Now, so whenever these guys call
What if it's during a game?
Oh, I told them if it was during league play...
What's during league play?
Life does not stop and start
at your convenience,
you miserable piece of shit.
I figure...
What's wrong with Walter, Dude?
I figure it's easy money.
It's all pretty harmless.
She probably kidnapped herself.
What do you mean, Dude?
Rug pee-ers did not do this.
Look at it.
A young trophy wife
marries this guy for his money.
She figures he isn't giving her enough.
You know, she owes money all over town.
That fuckin'...Bitch.
It's all goddamn fake, man.
It's like Lenin said.
You look for the person who will benefit,
and, you know...
I am the walrus?
You know,you'll ...
You know what I'm trying to say.
I am the walrus.
That fuckin' bitch!
I am the walrus.
Shut the fuck up, Donny!
V.I. Lenin. Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov!
What the fuck is he talking about?
Fucking exactly what happened.
That makes me fucking sick.
What do you care, Walter?
Those rich fucks.
This whole fuckin' thing.
I did not watch my buddies die
face down in the mud
so that this fucking strumpet,
This fucking whore
I don't see any connection to Vietnam, man.
Well, there's a literal connection.
No, Walter, face it, there isn't any connection.
Your roll.
Have it your way, but my point is
Your roll.
Your roll. My point is
Are you ready to be fucked, man?
I see you roll your way into the semis.
Dios mio, man.
Liam and me, we're gonna fuck you up.
Well...you know, that's just like ...
Your opinion, man.
Let me tell you something, pendejo,
you pull any crazy shit with us,
you flash a piece out on the lanes,
I'll take it away from you and stick it up your ass
and pull The fuckin' trigger
till it goes click.
Jesus.
You said it, man.
Nobody fuckswith the Jesus.

They called about 80 minutes ago.
They want you to take the money,
drive north on the 405. They will call you
on the portable phone with instructions
in about 40 minutes.
One person only. They were very clear on that,
Or I'd go with you. One person only.
What happened to your jaw?
Oh, nothin', you know.
Here's the money.
And the phone.
Please, Dude, follow whatever instructions they give.
All right.
Her life is in your hands.
Oh, man,don't say that.
Mr. Lebowski asked me to repeat that.
Her life is in your hands.
Oh, shit, man.
Her life is in your hands, Dude.
Report back to us as soon as it's done.
Where the fuck are you goin', man?
Take the ringer.I'll drive.
What? The what?
The ringer.
The ringer,Dude.
Have they Called yet? What the
What the hell is this?
My dirty undies, Dude.
Laundry. The whites.
Walter, I'm sure there's a reason
you brought your dirty undies, man.
That's right, Dude. The weight.
The ringer cannot look empty.
Walter, what the fuck are you thinking, man?
You're right, Dude. I got to thinking.
I got to thinking why should we settle
for a measly fuckin' 20 grand
We? What the fuck we?
You said you just wanted to come along.
My point, Dude, is
why should we settle for 20 grand
when we can keep the entire million?
Am I wrong? Yes, you're wrong.
This isn't a fuckin' game, man.
Oh, but it is a game. You said so yourself.
She kidnapped herself.
I said I thought
Dude here.
Who is this?
Dude the bagman, man. Where do you want us to go?
Us?
Yeah, you know, me and the driver.
I'm not handling the money, driving the car,
and talking on the phone all by my
Shut the fuck up!
Dude, are you fuckin' this up?
Who is that?
That is the driver.
I told you
What the fuck's goin' on?
Walter! What the fuck is goin' on?
He hung up, man!
You fucked it up!
Her life was in our hands, man.
Easy, Dude.
We're screwed now. We don't get shit.
They're gonna kill her.
We're fucked, Walter.
Nothing is fucked, Dude.
Come on, you're being very un-Dude.
They'll call back.
Look, she kidnapped
You see? Nothing'sfucked here, Dude.
Nothing is fucked.
They're a bunch offuckin' amateurs!
Hey, Walter, will youjust shut the fuck up?
Don't say peep while I'm doin' business here, man.
Ok, Dude, have it your way.
But they're amateurs.
Ok, we proceed.
But only if there's no funny stuff.
So no funny stuff, ok?
Just tell me where the fuck you want us to go.
That was the sign, man.
So all we gotta do is get her back,
No one's in a position to complain,
And we keep the baksheesh.
Yeah, terrific, Walter,
but you haven't told me how we're gonna get her back.
Where is she?
That's the simple part,Dude.
We make the hand-off,
I grab one of 'em, beat it out of him.
Yeah. That's a great plan.
Walter, that's fucking ingenious,
If I understand it correctly.
It's a Swiss fuckin' watch.
That's right, Dude.
The beauty of this is its simplicity.
Once a plan gets too complex,
everything can go wrong.
If there's one thing I learned in 'nam, it's
You're coming to a wooden bridge.
When you cross the bridge,
you throw the bag
from the left window of the moving car.
You're being watched.
What'd he say? Where's the hand-off?
There is no fuckin' hand-off, man.
At the wooden bridge, we throw the money out of the car.
We throw the money out of the moving car.
No, we can't do that, Dude.
That fucks up our plan.
Well, call 'em up and explain it to them, Walter.
Your plan is so fuckin' simple
I'm sure they'll fuckin' understand it.
That's the beauty of it.
Wooden bridge, huh?
I'm throwin' the money, Walter.
We're not fuckin' around, man.
Ok, Dude, bridge is comin' up.
Give me the ringer, chop-chop.
Fuck that, Walter. I love ya,
but sooner or later you're gonna have to face the fact
you're a goddamn moron.
Ok, Dude. No time to argue.
Hey, man.vThe bridge.
There goes the ringer!
What the fuck?!
Here, Dude, your wheel.
At 15 mph, I roll out.
I double back, grab one, and beat it out of him.
The Uzi. Uzi?!
You didn't think I was rolling out of here naked?
Walter, please..
We have it!
We...have it!
Aw, fuck it, Dude.
Let's go bowling.
Etz chaim he, Dude,
as the ex used to say.
What the fuck is that supposed to mean?
What the fuck are we gonna tell Lebowski?
Well, what exactly is the problem?
The problem is
What do you mean, What's the
There was no...
We..didn't ...
They're gonna kill that poor woman, man.
What the fuck are you talking about?
The poor woman
that poor slut
kidnapped herself.
Come on, Dude, you said so yourself.
Man, I said I thought she kidnapped herself.
You're the one who's so fuckin' certain.
That's right, Dude.
They posted the next round for the tournament.
Donny, shut the fuck when do we play?
This Saturday.
Saturday? Well, they have to reschedule.
Walter, what am Igonna tell Lebowski?
I told that fuck downat the league office
Who's in charge of scheduling?
I told that kraut a fuckin' thousand times
I don't roll on Shabbos.
He already Walter posted it.
Well, he can fuckin'unpost it!
Who gives a shit?!
They're gonna kill that poor woman, man.
What am I gonna tell Lebowski?
..eventually she'll get tired of her little game
and, you know, wander on back.
How come you don't roll on Saturday, Walter?
I'm Shomer Shabbos.
What's that, Walter?
Yeah, and in the meantime,
What do I tell Lebowski?
Saturday, Donny, is Shabbos,
The jewish day of rest. That means 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 don't fucking roll!
Shomer Shabbos!
Shomer fucking Shabbos.
Oh, fuck! That's it! I'm outta here.
Oh, come on, Dude.
Look, you just tell him
Tell him we made the drop,
and everything went, you know...
Oh, yeah, how'd it go?
Went all right. Dude's cargot a little dinged up.
Walter, we didn't make the fuckin' hand-off, man.
They didn't get the fuckin' money!
And they're gonna..
They're gonna killthat poor woman.
They're gonna kill that poor woman
Hey, Walter, if you can't ride in a car,
how do you get around on shammos?
Really, Dude, you surprise me.
They're not gonna kill shit, they're not gonna do shit.
What can they do to her?
They're a bunchof fuckin' amateurs,
And meanwhile,look at the bottom line.
Who's sittin' ona million fucking dollars?
Who's got a fuckin' millionfuckin' dollars
sitting in the trunkof our car?
Our car, Walter?
And what do they got?My dirty undies.
My fuckin' whites.
Say, Dude.
Where is your car?
Who's got yourundies, Walter?
Where's your car, Dude?
You don't know,Walter?
It was parkedin a handicap zone.
Perhaps they towed it.
You fuckin' knowit's been stolen.
Well, certainly that'sa possibility, Dude.
Oh, fuck it.
Where you goin', Dude?
I'm goin' home, Donny.
Phone's ringing, Dude.
Thank you, Donny.
Green.
Some, brown or...
Rust coloration.
And was there anythingof value in the car?
...a tape deck,
some Creedence tapes,
and there was a...
my briefcase.
In the briefcase?
..papers.
You knowjust papers.
You know,my papers.
Business papers.
And what do you do,Sir?
I'm unemployed.
My rug wasalso stolen.
Your rug was in the car?
No, here.
Separate incidents?
Do you find them much,these stolen cars?
Sometimes.
Wouldn't hold out much hopefor the tape deck, though.
Or the Creedence.
Well, what about...
The briefcase?
Mr. Lebowski,I'd like to see you.
Call when you get home,and I'll send a car for you.
My name is Maude Lebowski.
I'm the onewho took your rug.
Guess we can closethe file on that one.
El Franco,ay`dame abajo.
I'll be with youin a moment, Mr. Lebowski.
Does the female form make youuncomfortable, Mr. Lebowski?
..is that what thisis a picture of?
In a sense, yes.
My art has been commendedas being strongly vaginal,
which bothers some men.
The word itself makessome men uncomfortable.
Vagina.
Oh, yeah?
Yes, they don't like hearing itand find it difficult to say,
whereas withoutbatting an eye,
a man will refer tohis dick or his rod
Or his... Johnson.
Johnson?
All right, Mr. Lebowski.
Let's get down to cases.
My father told me he agreedto let you have the rug,
but as it was a giftfrom me to my late mother,
it was not his to give.
Your face.
As for this kidnapping...
Yes, I know all about it,
And I know thatyou acted as courier.
Let me tell you something.
The whole thing stinksto high heaven.
Right, but let meexplain something
About the rug.
Do you like sex,Mr. Lebowski?
Excuse me?
Sex. The physical actof love. Coitus.
Do you like it?
I was talkingabout my rug.
You're not interestedin sex?
You mean coitus?
I like it, too.
It's a male mythabout feminists
That we hate sex.
It can be a natural,zesty enterprise.
However, thereare some people
It is called satyriasis in men,nymphomania in women
who engage in it compulsivelyand without joy.
Oh, yes, Mr. Lebowski.
These unfortunate soulscannot love
in the true senseof the word.
Our mutual acquaintanceBunny is one of these.
Listen, Maude,
um, I'm sorry if yourstepmother is a nympho,
but, you know,
I don't see what thishas to do with...
Do you have any Kahlua?
Take' a lookat this, sir.
Oh, I know that guy.
He's a nihilist.
Hello. Meine dispatcher says
there's something wrongmitt deine kable.
Yeah, come on in.I'm not really sure
exactly what's reallywrong with the cable.
Zat's why they sent me.I am an expert.
The TV's in here.
You recognize her,of course.
Oh, that'smy friend Shari.
She just came overto use the shower.
The storyis ludicrous.
Meine nommen is Karl.Ich bin expert.
You must be hereto fix the cable.
Lord, you can imaginewhere it goes from here.
He fixes the cable?
Don't be fatuous,Jeffrey.
Little matter to methat this woman chose
to pursue a careerin pornography
nor that she has been"banging" Jackie Treehorn,
to use the parlanceof our times,
however,
I am one of the 2 trusteesof the Lebowski Foundation,
the other being my father.
The Foundation takesyoungsters from watts and
Shit, yeah,the achievers.
Little Lebowskiurban achievers, yes,
and proud we areof all of them,
I asked my father abouthis withdrawal of $1 million
from the Foundation account,
and he told meabout this abduction.
But I tell you,it is preposterous.
This compulsive fornicator
is taking my fatherfor the proverbial ride.
Yeah, but my
I'm getting to your rug.
My father and Idon't get along.
He doesn't approveof my lifestyle,
and, needless to say,I don't approve of his.
However, I hardly wish to makemy father's embezzlement
a police matter,
so I'm proposing that youtry to recover the money
from the peopleyou delivered it to.
Well, I could do that.
If you successfully do so,I will compensate you
to the tune of 10%of the recovered sum.
A hundred...
Thousand. Yes.Bones or clams
or whatever you call them.
Yeah, but...
What about my...
Your rug, yes.well, with that money
you can buyany number of rugs
That don't havesentimental value for me.
And I am sorry aboutthat crack on the jaw.
Oh, th-that's fine.That doesn't even...
Here's the name and numberof a doctor
who will look at itfor you.
You will receive no bill.
He's a good man,and thorough.
Th-that's thoughtful,But
Please see him, Jeffrey.
He's a good man,and thorough.
Oh, well...
All right.All right.
So he says, "My wife'sa pain in the ass.
She's always bustin'my friggin' agates.
My daughter's marriedto a real loser bastard,
and I got a rashso bad on my ass
I can't even sit down.
But you know me, I can'tcomplain."
Ah, fuckin' a, man.I got a rash, man.
Fuckin' a.
I gotta tell you,Tone, man,
Earlier in the day, I wasreally feeling shitty, man.
Really downin the dumps.
Lost a little money...

The royal we.
You know, the editorial.
I dropped off the moneyexactly as per
Look. Man, I've got certaininformation, all right?
Certain things havecome to light, and...
You know, has itever occurred to you
that instead of,you know, running around,
blaming me, given thenature of all this new shit,
this could bea lot more, ...
.. complex?
I mean, it might not bejust such a simple,
You know?
What in God'sholy name
Are you blatheringabout?
Well, I'll tell you whatI'm blathering about.
I've got information, man.
New shit has come to light.
And ... shit, man...
She kidnapped herself.
Well, sure, man.
Look at it. You know,a young trophy wife
In the parlanceof our times, you know
She .. owesmoney all over town,
Including to knownpornographers.
And that's cool.that-that's cool.
I'm saying,she needs money, man.
And... you know,
of course they're gonna saythey didn't get it,
becauseshe wants more, man.
She's gotta feed the monkey.I mean...
Hasn't that ever occurredto you, man?
No, Mr. Lebowski,
it had not occurredto me.
That had not occurredto us, Dude.
Well, ok, you know,
you guys aren't privyto all the new shit, so...
..you know. But...
..that's what youthat's what you pay me for.
Speaking of which,do you think that you could,
give me my 20,000 in cash?
My concern is..and I gottacheck with my accountant
but this might bump meinto a higher tax,
Brandt...
Give himthe envelope.
Oh, well, if you've alreadygot the check made out,
Th-that's cool.
We received thisthis morning.
Since you havefailed to achieve,
even in the modest taskwhich was your charge,
since you havestolen my money,
since you have unrepentantlybetrayed my trust...
I have no choice
but to tell these bums to dowhatever is necessary
to recover their moneyfrom you, Jeffrey Lebowski.
And with Brandtas my witness,
I will tell you this:
Any further harmvisited upon Bunny
will be visited tenfoldupon your head.
By god, sir, I will notabide another toe.
That wasn't her toe, Dude.
Whose toe was it,Walter?
How the fuck should I know?
I do know that nothingabout it indicates
Man, the nailpolish, Walter.
Fine, Dude.
As if it's impossibleto get some nail polish,
Apply itTo someone else's toe.
Someone else's
Where the fuckare they gonna get
You want a toe?I can get you a toe.
Believe me,there are ways, Dude.
You don't wanna knowabout it, believe me.
Hell, I can get you a toeby 3:00 this afternoon,
with nail polish.
These fuckin' amateurs.
They send us a toe,
we're supposed to shitourselves with fear.
Now, the point is
They're gonna kill her,Walter,
And then they're gonnakill me.
Dude...
That's...
That's just the stresstalking, man.
Now so far we havewhat appears to me
To be a series ofvictimless crimes.
What about the toe?
Forget aboutthe fucking toe!
Excuse me, sir,
Could you pleasekeep your voices down?
This is a family restaurant.
Oh, please, dear.
For your information,the supreme court
has roundly rejectedprior restraint!
Walter, this is nota first amendment thing.
If you don't calm down,
I'm gonna have to ask youto leave.
Lady, I got buddies whodied face down in the muck
so you and I could enjoythis family restaurant!
All right,I'm outta here.
Hey, Dude,don't go away, man.

Yeah, I saw thaton the report. Sorry.
You gotta get inon the other side.
The side-view wasfound on the road

They kept sayingthey believed in nothing.
Nihilists.
Fuck me.
I mean,say what you want

At leastit's an ethos.
And also,let's not forget
Lets not forget,Dude
That keepingwildlife, um,

for, um, you know,domestic...
Within the city...
That ain't legaleither.
What are you,a fucking park ranger now?
No, I'mjust trying
Who gives a shitabout the fucking marmot?

And what's that?
Do you have to useso many cuss words?

Yeah, the friendwith the cleft asshole?
What do you do?
Oh, nothing much.
Yeah, how are you?
Listen, Maude,
I got to, ...
Tender my resignationor whatever,
Because, ...itlooks like your mother
really was kidnappedafter all.
She most certainlywas not.
Hey, man, whydon't you fucking...
Listen occasionally?
You mightlearn something.
Please don't call hermy mother.
She's most definitelythe perpetrator
and not the victim.
I'm telling you, I gotpretty definitive evidence
From who?
From the main guy--Oolie.
Oolie Coco?
Her co-star inthe beaver picture?
Beaver?you mean vagina
I mean,you know the guy?
I might have introduced themfor all I know.
Do you remember Oolie?
He's a musician. Usedto have a group Autobahn.
Look in my LP's.
They released one albumin the late seventies.
Their music is sort ofa technopop.
So he's pretending to bethe abductor?
Well, yeah.
Look, Jeffrey, you don'treally kidnap someone
you're acquainted with.
The whole idea
is that the hostage can'tbe able to identify you
after you've let them go.
I know that.
What the fuckis with this guy?
Who is he?
Knox Harrington.
The video artist.
So Ooliehas the money?
Well...
..no, not exactly.
This is a verycomplicated case, Maude.
A lot of ins,a lot of outs,
a lot of what-have-yous,and,
a lot of strandsto keep in my head, man.
A lot of strandsin old Duder's head.
If Oolie doesn't have it,then who does?
It's Sandra,about the Bearnali.
..look,I have to take this.
Do you still havethat doctor's number?
No, really. It'snot even bruised anymore.
Oh, please, Jeffrey,
I don't wantto be responsible
For any delayedafter-effects.
After-effects?
Could you slideyour shorts down,
Mr. Lebowski, please?
No. No, man.She hit me right here.
I understand.
Could you slideyour shorts down, please?

You know, people forget

Your moneyis being held
By a kid namedLarry Sellers.
He livesin north Hollywood,
On Radford ...

A fuckin' brat,but I'm sure your goons

Flunking social studies.
So, if you could just ..
Write me a check for my10% of half a million...

You mix a hellof a Caucasian, Jackie.
A 15-year-old kid.
Is thissome sort of a joke?
No, no joke.
No funny stuff, Jackie.the kid's got it.
Hi, fellas.
The kid just wanteda car.
All The Dude ever wantedwas his rug back.
I'm not greedy.
It would really...
Tie the room together.
Darkness washed over The Dude.
Darker thana black steer's took us
On a moonless prairie night.
There was no bottom.

Donny wasa good bowler
And a good man.
He was one of us.
He was a man who lovedthe outdoors and bowling.
And as a surfer,he explored the beaches
of Southern California,
from La Jollato Leo Carrillo
and up to Pismo.
He died...as somany men of his generation,
Before his time.
In your wisdom, Lord,you took him.
As you took so many bright, flowering young men
at Khe Sanh, at Lan Doc,
and Hill 364.
These young mengave their lives.
So did Donny.
Donny who loved bowling.
And so, TheodoreDonald Karabatsos,
in accordance withwhat we think
your dying wishesmight well have been,
We commit your finalmortal remains
To the bosomof the pacific ocean,
which you loved so well.
Good night, sweet prince.

Don't you think?
Made me laugh to beat the band.
Parts, anyway.
