What's your favorite Big Lebowski quote or phrase?
I dunno my favorite, but my most used in daily conversation is…
“Careful, man - there’s a beverage here!”
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.
Always make me laugh.
“I hate the fuckin’ Eagles, man.”
He’s not wrong.
Too many to choose a favourite off the top of my head:
The Dude : Look, nothing is fucked, here, man.
The Big Lebowski : Nothing is fucked?
The Big Lebowski : The god damn plane has crashed into the mountain!
I love how the dude uses phrases that he picks up earlier in the film.
“This aggression will not stand”
“You mean, coitus?”
There are a bunch more but I hose 2 immediately spring to mind.
The Stranger: Do you have to use so many cuss words?
The Dude: What the fuck you talking about?
Also:
Walter: Smokey, this is not 'Nam, this is bowling. There are rules.
One more:
Walter: Am I wrong?
The Dude: You’re not wrong Walter; you’re just an asshole.
"Also, Dude, chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature. Asian-American, please."
This line always gets me. The juxtaposition of an unhinged PTSD riddled veteran who went to Nam but of all things is still careful to be mindful not to let those prejudice influence him is great.
This is what happens, Larry, when you find a stranger in the Alps.
Or something sounding like that. Something similar.
-You know, he’s got emotional problems, man.
-You mean… beyond pacifism?
-He’s fragile. Very fragile.
-Huh… I did not know that.
Also:
-Are these guys gonna hurt us Walter?
-No Donny, these men are cowards.
Last one:
Oh man, my thinking about this case had become very uptight.
“Obviously, you’re not a golfer”
“It’s down there somewhere, let me take another look”
