DUDE You thought Bunny'd been kidnapped and you could use it as a pretext to make some money disappear. All you needed was a sap to pin it on, and you'd just met me. You thought, hey, a deadbeat, a loser, someone the square community won't give a shit about. LEBOWSKI Well? Aren't you? DUDE Well. . . yeah.
THE STRANGER I don't know about you, but I take comfort in that. It's good knowin' he's out there, the Dude, takin' her easy for all us sinners.
What with all of the comparing the Dude to Jesus and Donnie to Jesus and the walrus to.. lost my train of thought.I'm wondering how these 2 well known scenes taken together may or may not lend meaning to one another.Scene 1.QuoteDUDE You thought Bunny'd been kidnapped and you could use it as a pretext to make some money disappear.

Discuss amounst yourselves...
So would any of you dudes actually pay a girl for sex?
I need a hint. I don't see any connections between the two short excerpts. If I were batshit crazy, I'd try to make something of the reference to "sin" and the phrase "sap to pin". If you juxtapose the first letters of the primary words in the latter phrase, you get "pap sin". Clearly, the Cohen Bros. are making a statement about the underlying dangers of rampant female (i.e., strongly vaginal) sexuality in the post-modern era. The Bible (in Romans 6:23) foresaw that women would bear the wages of their sins by subjecting themselves to invasive pap smears testing for loathsome diseases.But, I mean, other than that axiomatic parallel I don't get it.
LEBOWSKI It's funny. I can look back on a life of achievement, on challenges met, competitors bested, obstacles overcome. I've accomplished more than most men, and without the use of my legs. What. . . What makes a man, Mr. Lebowski? DUDE Dude. LEBOWSKI Huh? DUDE I don't know, sir. LEBOWSKI Is it. . . is it, being prepared to do the right thing? Whatever the price? Isn't that what makes a man?
