The Big Lebowski


Summary: This movie is about a classic mix-up between a rich, powerful man and a lazy bum. Gangsters ambush "the dude" Lebowski at his house and demand the money they are owed. The dude denies any debt, and one of the gangsters urinates on his rug -- the crappy old rug which he insists "really ties the room together." The gangsters soon realize that they have the wrong Lebowski, and leave him. The dude then decides to seek revenge for his ruined rug. The bottom line: this movie is really funny.

Scene:    When Smokey, a rival bowler, fowls on a shot, Walter orders him to mark his shot as a zero. Smokey, who bowls an 8, insists that he did not touch the line. Walter immediately becomes enraged and demands that "this isn't vietnam, we have rules here." Smokey says again that he did not touch the line. Walter pulls a gun and asks, if he is the only one who cares at all about the rules. He points the gun at Smokey, and screams, "do you think I'm fuckin' around here? Mark it zero!" Smokey, afraid for his life, marks his frame as zero. Walter immediately puts away the gun. In a calm, collected voice, he states, "It's a league game, Smokey."
