Share this quote on facebook Donny was a good bowler, and a good man. He was one of us. He was a man who loved the outdoors... and bowling, and as a surfer he explored the beaches of Southern California, from La Jolla to Leo Carrillo and... up to... Pismo. He died, like so many young men of his generation, he died before his time. In your wisdom, Lord, you took him, as you took so many bright flowering young men at Khe Sanh, at Langdok, at Hill 364. These young men gave their lives. And so would Donny. Donny, who loved bowling. And so, Theodore Donald Karabotsos, in accordance with what we think your dying wishes might well have been, we commit your final mortal remains to the bosom of the Pacific Ocean, which you loved so well. Good night, sweet prince.

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.

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?
