The Stranger

[brandt]

I wonder how the stranger came to know the dude, or how he came to know the events that happened

that's fuckin' interesting
very fucking interesting

I could find this stranger, and he can compensate me for my story.

That stranger really tied the movie together, did he not?

[always abides]

fuckin a! he goes tellin stories all over town

My guess, and this is just until new shit comes to light, is that the stranger is not just some benign wanderer, but possibly a serial killer who has been stalking The Dude.  That's why he knows so much about him.

So, what you're saying is, he's a Brother Shamus?
