The Big Lebowski Page #6

Synopsis: When "The Dude" Lebowski is mistaken for a millionaire Lebowski, two thugs urinate on his rug to coerce him into paying a debt he knows nothing about. While attempting to gain recompense for the ruined rug from his wealthy counterpart, he accepts a one-time job with high pay-off. He enlists the help of his bowling buddy, Walter, a gun-toting Jewish-convert with anger issues. Deception leads to more trouble, and it soon seems that everyone from porn empire tycoons to nihilists want something from The Dude.

DUDE:

Walter, this is not a guy who built

the rail- roads, here, this is a guy

who peed on my--

WALTER:

What the f*** are you--

DUDE:

Walter, he peed on my rug--

DONNY:

He peed on the Dude's rug--

WALTER:

YOU'RE OUT OF YOUR ELEMENT! This

Chinaman is not the issue, Dude.

DUDE:

So who--

WALTER:

Jeff Lebowski. Come on. This other

Jeffrey Lebowski. The millionaire.

He's gonna be easier to find anyway

than these two, uh. these two . . .

And he has the wealth, uh, the

resources obviously, and there is no

reason, no F***ING reason, why his

wife should go out and owe money and

they pee on your rug. Am I wrong?

DUDE:

No, but--

WALTER:

Am I wrong!

DUDE:

Yeah, but--

WALTER:

Okay. That, uh.

He elaborately clears his throat.

That rap really tied the room together, did it not?

DUDE:

F***in' A.

DONNY:

And this guy peed on it.

WALTER:

Donny! Please!

DUDE:

Yeah, I could find this Lebowski guy--

DONNY:

His name is Lebowski? That's your

name, Dude!

DUDE:

Yeah, this is the guy, this guy should

compensate me for the f***ing rug.

I mean his wife goes out and owes

money and they pee on my rug.
