Post your favorite Big Lebowski quote here.

[anneboleyn]

The Dude = a zen master: "It's like what Lenin said... you look for the person who will benefit, and, uh, uh.."

[Kali]

1. hard to pick a fave

"Nice marmot" is up there.

[anneboleyn]

4. One of my personal faves. And, "He fixes the cable?"

[cemaphonic]

28. yeah, for a drunken burnout, the Dude has a pretty quick wit.

Also, "Obviously, you're not a golfer."

[anneboleyn]

38. Exactly. Apparently there have been articles written on his status as a possible Zen master.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

2. "We may be bereaved, but that doesn't make us FUCKING SAPS!"

:rofl:

[EndersDame]

3. Nobody Fucks With the Jesus!

[anneboleyn]

5. Only John Turturro could pull off that purple polyester suit.

[EndersDame]

7. And he made it look SEXY!!

Seriously I am weird ;)

[anneboleyn]

11. And then there was the tongue-mauling of the bowling ball...

[Cant trust em]

6. I saw this movie when I was probably 15 and didn't really get it.

I haven't seen it since even though I know I should.

[anneboleyn]

9. Seriously, do watch it again -- I definitely would not have appreciated this gem when I was fifteen.

[Cant trust em]

12. I wish I were the kind of fifteen year old who would have gotten it.

Fortunately my new roommate has a copy.

[cemaphonic]

30. and, age aside, it is the sort of movie that benefits from repeated viewings

Lots of subtle, funny things that are a lot easier to catch once you've already seen it.

And watch "The Big Sleep" sometime too, since TBL is (among other things) an extended homage to it.

[Kali]

10. oh yes! you should

I don't do many repeats of movies, but this is one
Repo Man and Dark Star are my other two main "quote the dialog" classics.

[Kali]

8. "yeah, we got 'em working in shifts"

"Ow! Fucking fascist!"

[anneboleyn]

13. "Smokey, this is not 'Nam. This is bowling. There are rules."

[AlecBGreen]

14. Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

I DONT ROLL ON SHABBOS!!!

[anneboleyn]

15. My husband loves the quote in your subject line -- his personal fav. Best comeback ever.

[fishwax]

16. "Obviously, you are not a golfer"

[Condem]

17. "Dude. Why do you have to curse all the time?"

"What the fuck are you talkin' about, man".

[Initech]

18. "Is this uh... uh... what day is this?

[rcrush]

19. GET OFF MY PLANE!!!

[Zomby Woof]

20. Three thousand years of beautiful tradition...

...from Moses to Sandy Koufax.

You're godddamn right I'm living in the fucking past!

[Swede]

21. You want a toe? I can get you a toe, believe me.

There are ways, Dude. You don't wanna know about it, believe me.

[anneboleyn]

25. Amateurs! I love Walter.

[cemaphonic]

32. Everyone else always casts John Goodman as a cuddly teddy bear.

I like how the Coens always manage to bring out his darker side, without really losing his likable persona.


Apparently, Walter is largely based on John Milius (who wrote Apocalypse Now, among other things)

[bridgit]

22. "She's not my special lady, she's my fucking lady friend. I'm just helping her conceive, man!"

[anneboleyn]

23. Walter: "No, Donny, these men are nihilists. There's nothing to be afraid of."

And I love how the nihilists used to be "Autobahn" -- a parody of the awesome 70s electronica visionaries Kraftwerk.

[AllenVanAllen]

24. I do mind, the Dude minds.

This will not stand, ya know, this aggression will not stand, man.




The Dude abides...

[anneboleyn]

26. That pic is awesome.

[AllenVanAllen]

29. I really wish I new who did it!

I want a print! :)



Edited to add: I think the artist's name is Cory Benhatzel.

[cyberswede]

27. "Say what you will about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude; at least it's an ethos."

I've actually worked that one into a regular conversation...got tons of laughs. :)

[anneboleyn]

36. It is amazing that you actually employed this one in a regular conversation! I love this line,

[Initech]

31. "This could be a lot more uh uh uh uh complex. I mean it might not be such a simple uh you know?"

[Lex]

33. This one:

[martymar64]

34. "And stay out of Malibu!"

also "Forget about the fucking toe!"

[AllenVanAllen]

39. I wasn't listening.

Jedi fascist!

[rrneck]

35. Hey, careful, man, there's a beverage here! nt

[anneboleyn]

37. another one of my favorites...that entire scene is fab.

[blogslut]

40. Can't believe that noone has posted this

That rug really tied the room together.

[proteus_lives]

41. The entire movie is pure gold....

But I have to go with the simple and elegant:

"The Dude abides."

Sam Elliott was born in the wrong century-he IS a cowboy.

[sarge43]

42. "What do you do for recreation?"

"Oh, the usual. I bowl. Drive around. The occasional acid flashback."

[peekaloo]

43. You ever heard of the Seattle Seven? That was me and six other guys.

AND

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU FUCK A STRANGER IN THE ASS!

[tekisui]

44. Nice Marmet.

The whole movie is a great quote. Best screenplay EVAH!!!!

[velvet]

45. "This will not stand ...

ya know, this aggression will not stand, man."

I've lost count of how many times I've seen this movie. But not for a while ... might just be time to see it again.

[regularguy]

46. "New shit has come to light, Man."

[Saboburns]

47. "I'm on a strict drug regimen"

"Mind if I do a J"

"That and a pair of Testicles"

"Brant can't watch, or he has to pay a $100"

But as other have said. mebbe one of the best all time lines of any movie...

"He fixes the cable??"
