Yeah, well, ya know, that's just like, uh, your opinion, man ; Phone's ringin', Dude ; New sh** has come to light -- That rug really tied the room together, did it not? You know, Dude, I myself dabbled in pacifism at one point. Not in 'Nam, of course ; You mean coitus? ; What makes a man, Mr. Lebowski? ; What do you do, Mr. Lebowski? ; Nothing's fu**ed, Dude -- Enjoyin' my coffee. Sorry, I wasn't listening ; Strikes and gutters, ups and downs ; Some burgers, some beers, a few laughs. Our fu**ing troubles are over, Dude ; Say, friend, ya got any more of that good sarsaparilla?
