The Dude hates the f***ing Eagles. So does Terrell Owens.Day 2 of our run of sports-related quotes. From one of our favorite movies, The Big Lebowski, a Coen Brothers movie about bowling, mistaken identity, nihilist gangsters, and Little Urban Achievers. One of the most-quoted pieces of dialogue happens in the bowling alley, where teammates The Dude (Jeff Bridges) and Walter Sobchak (St. Louis' own John Goodman) are rolling against Smokey (country-folk singer/songwriter Jimmie Dale Gilmore) in a league game:
The Dude: "Walter, ya know, it's Smokey, so his toe slipped over the line a little, big deal. It's just a game, man."
Walter: "Dude, this is a league game, this determines who enters the next round robin. Am I wrong? Am I wrong?"
Smokey: "Yeah, but I wasn't over. Gimme the marker Dude, I'm marking it 8."
Walter: [pulls out a gun] "Smokey, my friend, you are entering a world of pain."
The Dude: "Walter..."
Walter: "You mark that frame an 8, and you're entering a world of pain. A world of pain."
Smokey: "Dude, he's your partner..."
Walter: [shouting] "Has the whole world gone crazy? Am I the only one around here who gives a s*** about the rules? Mark it zero!"
The Dude: "They're calling the cops, put the piece away."
Walter: "Mark it zero!" [points gun in Smokey's face]
The Dude: "Walter..."
Walter: [shouting] "You think I'm f***ing around here? Mark it zero!"
Smokey: "All right, it's f***ing zero. Are you happy, you crazy f***?"
Walter: "It's a league game, Smokey."
Sundays are made for bowling (because Saturdays are for Shabbas). Bowling is made for the Jesus. Ergo, Sundays must be made for The Jesus.
