  --serious infraction, and examine your standing.  Thank you.  Beep.

So the rug was in the car?

[Andrea D.]

Ah, fuck it!

[DigitalBuddha]

Speed of sound Tour...bunch of assholes.

[brandt]

This is our concern, Dude

[DigitalBuddha]

Oh man, don't say that.............

[brandt]

Don't say peep when I'm doin' business, man

[Dude1967]

Ah, fuck it!

Sure!  Fuck it!  That's your answer! Tattoo it on your forehead!  Your answer to everything!

[brandt]

Man, I'm not tryin' to scam anybody here, man

[DigitalBuddha]

......the toilet sets up, man.

Your wife, Bunny owes money to Jackie Treehorn, that means YOU owe money to Jackie Treehorn!

You're fucking Polish Catholic

"Trying is the first step towards failure" -- Genius



Trying didn't help the Dude secure his front door from porn thugs because the damn door opens the other way. So the Dude had to put his "diapers" on and go and see Jackie Treehorn.

Trying didn't get the Dude his Jaw bone doctor act professionally, instead he got his sperm count correct.

Trying didn't help in making a ransom drop off, instead it brought him near a nervous breakdown, which is very undude, man.

Trying didn't help the Dude get his robe back, stumbling upon helping Maude Lebowski to concieve instead.

Trying to give the nihilists his 4$ only ended up almost being fucked by a long, thin, blond nihilist with a stiff karate kick.



Trying seems an awfully dangerous business in this "real reactionary police chief" filled world, yet the Dude has found some cracks in this otherwise seemingly rock solid philosophy:

a) a White Russian
b) a J.
c) bowling
d) taking any rug in the house
e) abiding
f) an acid flashback


It's good he keeps a strict regimen of these golden rules to not look at this life in a very uptight way, man.

What in God's name are you blathering about?

[the Knutsens]

She kidnapped herself. Hadn't that ever occurred to you before, man... sir?
