We open on the desert, with a tumbleweed bouncing into the city. | |
๐ช๐ผ๐๐๐บ | |
In the supermarket dairy section, we find The Dude. He writes a | |
check while George HW Bush speaks on TV. | |
๐ก๐ช๐๐ก๐ฝ๐ก๐ฝ๐๐๐จ๐ณ๐ก๐๐ฆ๐ | |
At home, The Dude goes through his door only to be dragged by | |
thugs into the bathroom, where he is dunked in a toilet repeatedly. | |
He loses his sunglasses and then retrieves them. The "chinaman" | |
pees on the rug. | |
๐ณ๐ฌ๐ณ๐๐ณ๐ฐ๐๐๐ค๐ฐ๐ด๐ป๐บ | |
Title sequence takes place at the bowling alley, closeups of balls, | |
gutters, pins, smoking, shoes. The Dude and Walter talk about the | |
valued rug, and maybe Mr. Jeffery Lebowski could pay for his rug, | |
while they drink beer. | |

At The Big Lebowski's mansion, The Dude and Brandt look over the | |
award wall, hear about the Little Lebowski Urban Achievers, talk | |
about the rug. As The Dude leaves he chats up a girl who tells him | |
to blow her toenail polish, and the guy in the pool won't mind, and | |
it's Bunnie, who will "suck your cock for a thousand dollars but | |
Brandt can't watch or that'll be $100 extra" and The Dude says | |
he'll go find a cash machine. | |

At the bowling alley, The Dude and Walter (and the Pomeranian) | |
talk until Smokey steps over the line. Walter warns Smokey that | |
he is entering a world of pain, and Smokey relents, finally | |
marking it zero. | |
๐๐๐ค๐๐จ๐ช๐๐ค | |
In the parking lot The Dude and Walter argue about pacifism and | |
"that camel fucker in Iraq" as the police arrive in the background. | |

Phone messages are heard while The Dude mixes a White Russian, | |
then his landlord asks him to slip the (very late) rent money under | |
his door. | |
๐ฐ๐โฟ๏ธ๐ด๐ป๐ฐ๐ฌ๐ฅ๐ ๐๐ฐ | |
The Dude is summoned to the mansion, where he learns Bunnie has been | |
kidnapped while he smokes a jay. "Grown men also cry, grown men also | |
cry" is heard as The Dude reads the faxed over ransom note asking for | |
a million dollars. | |
๐ณ๐ธ๐๐๐ ๐ณ๐๐ค8โฃ๐ก๐๐ซ๐๐ค8โฃ | |
At the bowling alley, we hear the Gipsy Kings' rendition of Hotel | |
California on guitars as The Jesus bowls a strike in slo-mo and The | |
Dude and Walter discuss The Jesus and how he's a "pederast" who | |
exposed himself to an 8 year old. The Jesus says "If you pull that | |
gun shit on me I'll stick it up your ass and pull the trigger until | |
it goes click." 8 year olds, Dude. | |

At his house The Dude listens to bowling tapes on a walkman then | |
wakes to two thugs and Maude over him, they punch him out and into | |

In his car, The Dude picks up Walter who takes over driving and brings | |
