The Dude and Brandt are departing the manse and the scene shows lush green foliage. The view up at the Dude's face is framed by a dead tree.
Is their a literal connection to "NAM" or Donny's impending death, any symbolism, what have you, or another foible like the guy walking on the bluffs at Donny's blow away. Lotta strands running around the old Brandt's head..Anyway it got me thinkin, what's up with that?
Mr. Lebowski is waiting in the foible. I like that word. What do you need your foible for, Dude. The foible is not the issue here. I can get you a foible by 3PM. FUCK THE FOIBLE. What the foible you talkin' about? Man, what a train of thought. Blame it on keepin' your mind limber.
Brandt- I think your train of thought might have derailed ;D
Yeah, well that's just like your opinion, man
What about the fuckin tree, that's the issue here, not the train of thought..man

The goddam train has crashed into the mountain.
Very undude..that's just the stress talkin'
What about the god damn tree? Don't you care that they killed that pooooor tree? :(
The tree is not the issue here, Dude. And "tree" is not the proper nomenclature. "Arbor-American," please.
there is an unspoken message here, it's leaf me the fuck alone.
I can see this tree does'nt want cheering up

Yeah , that plans a real swiss fuckin watch...explain that to the nihilist tree killers
that must be exfoliating.
The Dude pats at his pockets, takes out a joint and lights it.
DUDE
Obviously you're not a golfer.
That trees life was in your hands!
Am I the only who gives a shit about the tree around here?
FORGET ABOUT THE FUCKING TREE!!!
........oh, Dear, the supreme court has rejected prior restraint. ;D
Trees. Just trees. You know, my trees. Business trees.
Oh sure, wavin' the fuckin' dead tree around!
Human Paraquat!

Human Paraquat!
No, no, I'm not Human Paraquat, I'm the dead tree, or previously live tree, or D.T. if your into the whole brevity thing. You're, Human Paraquat.....
...so that's what you call me, the dead tree ;D
The clue to Donnie's impending death is clearly his spare that night. The dead tree means nothing. Nothing. nothing any nialhist(sp?) can tell you that.

I did not watch my buddies die face down in the muck so that tree could drop it's leaves all over town
That's the literal connection..so many young men taken before their time, like so many leaves falling....well there 's some connection ;)
face it brandt there's no connection man

Well, there isn't a literal connection, Dude.
What the fuck are you talkin', about..Donny, shut the fuck up....V.I.ARBOR,
....Very Infoliage Arbor ???
Arboles like these, huh Gary.
Some people just have WAY too much time! I mean, the TREE having a symbol for Donny's death or something...you're looking WAY too deep into it.
By the way, spelling 'deep' made me think about 'Depp' (Johnny Depp) which in German, Depp is like 'idiot'.

You're being very undude, Nihilist..nothing is fucked or too deep...and let's not forget, let's not forget, BOWLING is for people who have "way" too much time.
Am I wrong? Okay then.
Let the tree be. After all, it was taken as so many young trees were taken before their time, to be catalogues or paper plates or maps of Khe San or Hill 351.
Yeah, but....
That tree really tied the mansion together, did it not?
