The Dude:
..Yeah, man, it really tied the room together.
Walter Sobchak:
This was a valued, uh …
The Dude:
Yeah.
Donny:
[Donny takes a seat] What tied the room together, Dude?
The Dude:
My rug.
Walter Sobchak:
Were you listening to The Dude's story, Donny?
Donny:
What?
The Dude:
Walter …
Walter Sobchak:
Were you listening to The Dude's story?
Donny:
I was bowling.
Walter Sobchak:
So you have no frame of reference here, Donny. You're like a child who wanders into the middle of a movie and wants to know -
The Dude:
Walter, Walter, what's the point, man?
Walter Sobchak:
There's no reason - Here's my point, Dude. There's no fucking reason why these two -
Donny:
Yeah, Walter, what's your point?
Walter Sobchak:
Huh?
The Dude:
Walter, what is the poin-? Look, we all know who is at fault here - what the fuck are you talking about?
Walter Sobchak:
Huh? No, what the fuck are you … ! I'm not … we're talking about unchecked aggression here, Dude.
Donny:
What the fuck is he talking about?
The Dude:
My rug.
Walter Sobchak:
Forget it, Donny, you're out of your element!
The Dude:
Look, Walter - Walter, the Chinaman who peed on my rug, I can't go give him a bill, so what the fuck are you talking about?
Walter Sobchak:
What the fuck are you talking about? The Chinaman is not the issue here, Dude! I'm talking about drawing a line in the sand, Dude. Across this line, you do not... Also, Dude, "Chinaman" is not the preferred nomenclature. "Asian-American," please.
The Dude:
Walter, this isn't a guy who built the railroads here. This is a guy...
Walter Sobchak:
What the fuck are you...?
The Dude:
Walter, he peed on my rug!
Donny:
He peed on the Dude's rug.
Walter Sobchak:
Donny, you're out of your element! Dude, the Chinaman is not the issue here!
The Dude:
Then who...?
Walter Sobchak:
Jeff Lebowski, the other Jeffery Lebowski. The millionaire!
The Dude:
That's fucking interesting, man. That's fucking interesting.
Walter Sobchak:
Plus, he has the wealth, obviously, and the resources. So that there's no reason - there's no FUCKING reason - why his wife should go out and owe money all over town, and then they come, and they pee on your fucking rug! Am I wrong?
