Director: Joel Coen, Ethan Coen
Stars: Jeff Bridges, John Goodman, Julianne Moore

After the tight plotting and quirky intensity of Fargo, this casually amusing follow-up from the prolifically inventive Coen (Ethan and Joel) brothers seems like a bit of a lark, and the result was a box-office disappointment. The good news is, The … more »



[Dude and Walter sit in a diner as Dude shows Walter the severed toe]

Walter Sobchak:
[laughs] That wasn't her toe, Dude.

The Dude:
Whose toe was it, Walter?

Walter Sobchak:
How the f*** should I know? I do know that nothing about it indicates...

The Dude:
The nail polish, Walter!

Walter Sobchak:
Fine, Dude. As if it's impossible to take some nail polish, apply it to someone else's toe...

The Dude:
Someone else's?

Walter Sobchak:
Pinking shears... [imitates snipping]

The Dude:
Where the f*** are they gonna...

Walter Sobchak:
You want a toe? I can get you a toe. Believe me. There are ways, Dude - you don't wanna know about it, believe me.

The Dude:
Yeah, but Walter...

Walter Sobchak:
Hell, I can get you a toe by 3:00 this afternoon, with nail polish. These f***ing amateurs! (chuckles) They send us a toe, we're supposed to sh*t ourselves with fear. Jesus Christ!

The Dude:
Walter...

Walter Sobchak:
Now the point is...

The Dude:
They're gonna kill her, Walter, and then they're gonna kill me.

Walter Sobchak:
Dude... That's... That's just the stress talkin', man. Now so far, we have, what appears to me, to be a series of victimless crimes...

The Dude:
What about the toe?!

Walter Sobchak:
[slams fist on counter] FORGET ABOUT THE F***ING TOE!

Waitress at diner:
[approaches Walter and Dude] Excuse me, sir. Could you please keep your voices down? This is a family restaurant.

Walter Sobchak:
Oh please, dear? For your information, the Supreme Court has roundly rejected prior restraint!

The Dude:
Walter, this is not a First Amendment thing, man.

Waitress at diner:
Sir, if you don't calm down, I'm gonna have to ask you to leave.

Walter Sobchak:
Lady, I got buddies who died face-down in the muck so that you and I could enjoy this family restaurant!

The Dude:
Alright, I'm outta here [drops money and (inadvertently) a joint on counter, subtly picks up the joint]

Walter Sobchak:
[talking to Dude as he leaves] Oh come on, Dude... Don't walk away, man! C'mon, this affects all of us, man! Our basic freedoms! [to the waitress I'm stayin'. I'm finishing my coffee. [the waitress and the diner patrons look at him in disbelief] Enjoying my coffee.
