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

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

You're like a child who wanders into the middle of a movie

"The Dude abides"

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I dunno my favorite, but my most used in daily conversation is…

“Careful, man - there’s a beverage here!”

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

“I hate the fuckin’ Eagles, man.”

He’s not wrong.

Fuck, the "Did it not" is so good as well!

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You're being very undude, dude

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Calmer than you are.

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 those 2 immediately spring to mind.

"in the parlance of our time" gets a repeat. The Dude never actually has an original thought except once: when he says that Bunny kidnapped herself.

"Look, nothing is fucked, here, man."

"Nothing is fucked? The god damn plane has crashed into the mountain!"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Oh dude this is such a good one.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

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.

Second place is when the cop beans his mug off The Dude's face.

Stay out of Malibu, Lebowski! Stay out of Malibu, deadbeat! Keep your ugly fuckin' goldbrickin' ass out of my beach community.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

I'm sorry, I wasn't listening.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Ow! Fucking fascist!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

teft, please.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

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.

Too many to choose a favourite off the top of my head:

  • Brother Seamus? Like an Irish monk?
  • Yeah, yeah, I get it, fuck off Da Fino. And stay away from my special - from my fucking lady friend, man!
[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

It's ok to have more than one, I should have said that :o

And those are great.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

If I spoke English I would use special lady and lady friend all the time!!!

Don't be fatuous, Jeffrey.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Nihilists? Fuck me... Say what you will about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, at least it's an ethos.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

You’re not wrong, you’re just an asshole.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

New shit has come to light!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

This is what happens, Larry, when you find a stranger in the Alps.

Or something sounding like that. Something similar.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

-You know, he's got emotional problems, man.

-You mean... beyond pacifism?

-He's fragile. Very fragile.

-Huh... I did not know that.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Also:

-Are these guys gonna hurt us Walter?

-No Donny, these men are cowards.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Last one:

Oh man, my thinking about this case had become very uptight.
