New shit has come to light, man... In the parlance of our times.

"I like your style dude.."

"I'm not Lebowski, you're Lebowski. I'm the dude, so thats what you call me.. Or, His dudeness, Duder. Or El duderino, if you're not into the whole brevity thing..."

I watched it again! This movie is absolute American classic. Starting from the time the Dude writes a 99 cent check to Ralphs to the time Walter uses a Folgers tin to disperse Donnie's ashes to the bosom of the Pacific. The Coen brothers have made some of the best movies, but The Big Lebowski falls into a new category, the Dudeness category of movies! Each character is very well defined with some amazing lines and performances to compliment! TBL has to be watched again and again to grasp each and every dialogue and it gets funnier each time.

Here are some really cool excerpts from the movie! (source: imdb.com)

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, 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.

Walter Sobchak: OVER THE LINE!
Smokey: Huh?
Walter Sobchak: I'm sorry, Smokey. You were over the line, that's a foul.
Smokey: Bullshit. Mark it 8, Dude.
Walter Sobchak: Uh, excuse me. Mark it zero. Next frame.
Smokey: Bullshit, Walter. Mark it 8, Dude.
Walter Sobchak: You're entering a world of pain Smokey, this is not 'Nam. This is bowling. There are rules.

Treehorn Thug #1: You're name's Lebowski, Lebowski!
Treehorn Thug #1: Wu, isn't this guy supposed to be a millionaire?
Wu (Treehorn Thug #2): Fuck! He's looks like a fuckin' loser!
The Dude: Hey, atleast I'm housebroken!

Walter Sobchak: Donny was a good bowler, and a good man. 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, from La Jolla to Leo Carrillo and... up to... Pismo. He died, like so many young men of his generation, he died before his time. In your wisdom, Lord, you took him, as you took so many bright flowering young men at Khe Sanh, at Langdok, at Hill 364. These young men gave their lives. And so would Donny. Donny, who loved bowling. And so, Theodore Donald Karabozoz, in accordance with what we think your dying wishes might well have been, we commit your final mortal remains to the bosom of the Pacific Ocean, which you loved so well. Good night, sweet prince.

Donny: What's during league play?
Walter Sobchak: Life does not start & stop at your convenience, you miserable piece of shit!
