"Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man."
I use this one frequently. That and "you're not wrong, you're just an asshole."
That's mine too. The dudiest way to diffuse the situation lol
My go to.
“Shut the fuck up Donnie. You’re out of your element.”
You're like a child who wanders into the middle of a movie
God damnit. John Goodman's delivery on those lines kills me every time.
I dunno my favorite, but my most used in daily conversation is…
“Careful, man - there’s a beverage here!”
"The Dude abides"
“I hate the fuckin’ Eagles, man.”
He’s not wrong.
It really brought the whole room together
Did it not.
Fuck, the "Did it not" is so good as well!
You're being very undude, dude
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.
"Johnson?"
That's fantastic.
"Look, nothing is fucked, here, man."
"Nothing is fucked? The god damn plane has crashed into the mountain!"
Oh dude this is such a good one.
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.
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.
I'm sorry, I wasn't listening.
Ow! Fucking fascist!
teft, please.
I am the walrus?
Donny.
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!
It's ok to have more than one, I should have said that :o
And those are great.
If I spoke English I would use special lady and lady friend all the time!!!
"Also, Dude, chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature. Asian-American, please."
This line always gets me. The juxtaposition of an unhinged PTSD riddled veteran who went to Nam but of all things is still careful to be mindful not to let those prejudice influence him is great.
later in the same dialogue, Walter refers to him as the Chinaman again 😆
You’re not wrong, you’re just an asshole.
Nihilists? Fuck me... Say what you will about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, at least it's an ethos.
"He fixes the cable?"
Don't be fatuous, Jeffrey.
New shit has come to light!
This is what happens, Larry, when you find a stranger in the Alps.
Or something sounding like that. Something similar.
Calmer than you are
-You know, he's got emotional problems, man.
-You mean... beyond pacifism?
-He's fragile. Very fragile.
-Huh... I did not know that.
Also:
-Are these guys gonna hurt us Walter?
-No Donny, these men are cowards.
Last one:
Oh man, my thinking about this case had become very uptight.
"I'm finishing my coffee"
"Obviously, you're not a golfer"
"It's down there somewhere, let me take another look"
"You said it, man. Nobody fucks with The Jesus."
