  • (John Goodman) "Were you listening to The Dude's story, Donny?"
  • (Jeff Bridges) "Walter --"
  • (Steve Buscemi) "What?"
  • (John Goodman) "Were you listening to The Dude's story?"
  • (Steve Buscemi) "I was bowling."
  • (John Goodman) "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 --"
  • (Jeff Bridges) "(interrupting) Walter, Walter, what's the point, man?"
  • (John Goodman) "There's no reason; here's my point, dude, there's no f***ing reason why these two --"
  • (Steve Buscemi) "Yeah, Walter, what's your point?"
  • (John Goodman) "It's all water under the bridge."
  • (John Goodman) "That rug really tied the room together, did it not?"
  • (Jeff Bridges) "f***in' A."
  • (Steve Buscemi) "And this guy peed on it."
  • (John Goodman) "Donny, please."
  • (John Goodman) "Achtung baby."
  • (John Goodman) "That's right, Dude, they peed on your f***ing rug."
  • (John Goodman) "Am I wrong?"
  • (Jeff Bridges) "No you're not wrong."
  • (John Goodman) "Am I wrong?"
  • (Jeff Bridges) "You're not wrong Walter. You're just an asshole."
  • (John Goodman) "Okay then."
  • (John Goodman) "Fifteen, Dude. This is it. Let's take that hill."
  • (John Goodman) "And a good day to you, sir."
  • (John Goodman) "Now so far, we have what appears to me to be a series of victimless crimes."
  • (Jeff Bridges) "What about the toe?"
  • (John Goodman) "Forget about the f***ing toe."
  • (Coffee Shop Waitress) "Excuse me, sir. Could you please keep your voices down? This is a family restaurant."
  • (John Goodman) "Oh please, dear? For your information, the Supreme Court has roundly rejected prior restraint."
  • (John Goodman) "Yeah, the beauty of this is its simplicity. If it gets complex, everything can go wrong."
  • (John Goodman) "If you will it, it is no dream."
  • (John Goodman) "Does he still write?"
  • (Pilar, Sellers' Housekeeper) "Oh no no, he has health problems."
  • (John Goodman) "Now that is just ridiculous, Dude. Nobody is going to cut your dick off. Not if I have anything to say about it."
  • (Jeff Bridges) "Thank you Walter, that makes me feel very secure, it makes me feel very warm inside."
  • (John Goodman) "Life does not stop and start at your convenience, you miserable piece of s***."
  • (Steve Buscemi) "What's wrong with Walter, Dude?"
  • (John Goodman) "The little prick is stonewalling me."
  • (John Goodman) "f*** it, Dude, let's go bowling."

  • (Jeff Bridges) "This isn't a First Amendment issue, man."

  • (John Goodman) "That's not her toe, Dude."
  • (Jeff Bridges) "Then whose toe is it, Walter?"

  • (John Goodman) "Shut the f*** up, Donny."
  • (John Goodman) "Your wheel. At fifteen m-p-h I roll out. I double back, grab one of 'em and beat it out of him. The uzi."
  • (Jeff Bridges) "Uzi?"
  • (John Goodman) "You didn't think I was rolling out of here naked."
  • (John Goodman) "GOD DAMN IT. Look, just because we're bereaved, that doesn't make us saps."
  • (John Goodman) "Lady, I got buddies who died face down in the muck so that you and I could enjoy this family restaurant."
  • (John Goodman) "Nothing is f***ed here Dude. Nothing is f***ed. They're a bunch of f***ing amateurs."

  • (John Goodman) "Okay Dude. Have it your way."
  • (John Goodman) "But they're amateurs."
  • (John Goodman) "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 Karabotsos, 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."
  • (John Goodman) "Also, let's not forget; let's not forget, Dude; that keeping wildlife, an amphibious rodent, for uh, domestic, you know, within the city; that aint legal either."
  • (Jeff Bridges) "What are you, a f***ing park ranger now?"
  • (John Goodman) "No, I'm --"
  • (Jeff Bridges) "Who gives a s*** about the f***ing marmot."
  • (John Goodman) "When we make the handoff, I double back, grab one of 'em and beat it out of him. Huh?"
  • (Jeff Bridges) "That's a great plan, Walter. That's f***in' ingenious, if I understand it correctly. It's a Swiss f***in' watch."
  • (John Goodman) "Is this your homework, Larry? Is this your homework, Larry?"
  • (Jeff Bridges) "Look, man --"
  • (John Goodman) "Dude, please? Is this your homework, Larry?"
  • (Jeff Bridges) "Just ask him about the car."
  • (John Goodman) "Is this yours, Larry? Is this your homework, Larry?"
  • (Jeff Bridges) "Is that your car out front?"
  • (John Goodman) "Is this your homework, Larry?"
  • (Jeff Bridges) "We know it's his f***ing homework. Where's the f***ing money, you little brat?"
  • (John Goodman) "Look, Larry. Have you ever heard of Vietnam?"
  • (Jeff Bridges) "Oh, for Christ's sake, Walter --"
  • (John Goodman) "You're entering a world of pain, son. We know that this is your homework. We know that you stole a car."
  • (Jeff Bridges) "And the f***ing money."
  • (John Goodman) "And the f***ing money. And, we know that this is your homework."
  • (Jeff Bridges) "We're going to cut your dick off, Larry."
  • (John Goodman) "You're killing your father, Larry."
  • (John Goodman) "Nihilists. f*** me. I mean, say what you want about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, at least it's an ethos."

  • (Sherry in 'Logjammin') "You must be here to fix the cable."
  • (Julianne Moore) "Lord. You can imagine where it goes from here."
  • (Jeff Bridges) "He fixes the cable?"
  • (Julianne Moore) "Don't be fatuous, Jeffrey."
  • (Julianne Moore) "Are you surprised at my tears, sir?"
  • (Jeff Bridges) "Dude, f***in' A."
  • (Julianne Moore) "Strong men also cry -- strong men also cry."
  • (Julianne Moore) "Let me tell you something. The whole thing stinks to high heaven."
  • (Julianne Moore) "Jeffrey."
  • (Jeff Bridges) "-- Maude?"
  • (Julianne Moore) "Love me."
  • (Jeff Bridges) "That's my robe."
  • (Julianne Moore) "Did I urinate on your rug?"
  • (Jeff Bridges) "You mean, did you personally come and pee on my rug?"
  • (Julianne Moore) "Do you speak English sir? Parla usted Inglese?"
  • (Julianne Moore) "You have your story, I have mine. I say that I entrusted the money to you, and you stole it."
  • (John Goodman) "As if we would ever dream of taking your bulls*** money."
  • (Julianne Moore) "Does the female form make you uncomfortable, Mr. Lebowski?"
  • (Jeff Bridges) "Uh, is that what this is a picture of?"
  • (Julianne Moore) "In a sense, yes. My art has been commended as being strongly vaginal which bothers some men. The word itself makes some men uncomfortable. Vagina."
  • (Jeff Bridges) "Oh yeah?"

  • (Jeff Bridges) "I was talking about my rug."
  • (Julianne Moore) "You're not interested in sex?"
  • (Jeff Bridges) "You mean coitus?"
  • (Julianne Moore) "It's a male myth about feminists that we hate sex. It can be a natural, zesty enterprise. But unfortunately there are some people; it is called satyriasis in men, nymphomania in women; who engage in it compulsively and without joy. Yes, Mr. Lebowski, these unfortunate souls cannot love in the true sense of the word. Our mutual acquaintance Bunny is one of these."
  • (Jeff Bridges) "Listen, Maude, I'm sorry if your stepmother is a nympho, but I don't see what it has to do with; do you have any Kahlúa?"
  • (Julianne Moore) "Start talking and talk fast you lousy bum."
  • (Philip Seymour Hoffman) "We've been frantically trying to reach you, Dude."

  • (Julianne Moore) "You don't go out looking for a job dressed like that? On a weekday?"
  • (Jeff Bridges) "Is this a -- what day is this?"
  • (Julianne Moore) "Well, I do work sir, so if you don't mind --"

  • (Julianne Moore) "I will not abide another toe."
  • (Julianne Moore) "I didn't blame anyone for the loss of my legs. Some Chinaman took them from me in Korea."
  • (Julianne Moore) "My father and I don't get along, he doesn't approve of my lifestyle and, needless to say, I don't approve of his. Still, I hardly wish to make my father's embezzlement a police matter, so I'm proposing that you try to recover the money from the people you delivered it to."
  • (Jeff Bridges) "Well, I could do that --"
  • (Julianne Moore) "If you successfully do so, I will compensate you to the tune of 10 percent of the recovered sum."
  • (Jeff Bridges) "A hundred --"
  • (Julianne Moore) "Thousand, yes bones or clams or whatever you call them."
  • (Julianne Moore) "Your revolution is over, Mr. Lebowski. Condolences. The bums lost. My advice is to do what your parents did; get a job, sir. The bums will always lose. Do you hear me, Lebowski?"
  • (Julianne Moore) "The bums will always lose."
  • (Philip Seymour Hoffman) "How was your meeting, Mr. Lebowski?"
  • (Jeff Bridges) "Okay. The old man told me to take any rug in the house."

Mark Pellegrino as Blond Treehorn Thug

  • (Mark Pellegrino) "What the f*** is this?"

  • (John Turturro) "Nobody f***s with the Jesus."
  • (John Turturro) "Are you ready to be f***ed, man? I see you rolled your way into the semis. Dios mio, man. Liam and me, we're gonna f*** you up."
  • (Jeff Bridges) "Yeah, well, you know, that's just like, uh, your opinion, man."
  • (John Turturro) "Let me tell you something, pendejo. You pull any of your crazy s*** 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 f***ing trigger 'til it goes "click.""
  • (Jeff Bridges) "Jesus."
  • (John Turturro) "You said it, man. Nobody f***s with the Jesus."
  • (John Goodman) "Eight-year-olds, Dude."

David Thewlis as Knox Harrington

  • (David Thewlis) "So you're Lebowski. Maudie's told me all about you. She'll be back in a moment, sit down. Would you like a drink?"

  • (Tara Reid) "You're not blowing --"
  • (Tara Reid) "I'll suck your cock for a thousand dollars."
