  • Brandt: Oh, those are Mr Lebowski's children, so to speak.
  • The Dude: Different mothers, huh?
  • Brandt: No.
  • The Dude: Racially he's pretty cool?
  • Brandt: [laughs] They're not literally his children. They're the Little Lebowski Urban Achievers - inner city children of promise but without the necessary means for a - necessary means for a higher education. So Mr Lebowski is committed to sending all of them to college.
  • The Big Lebowski: Your revolution is over, Mr. Lebowski. Condolences. The bums lost. My advice is to do what your parents did; get a job, sir. The bums will always lose. Do you hear me, Lebowski?
  • [the Dude walks out and shuts the door]
  • The Big Lebowski: The bums will always lose!
  • Brandt: How was your meeting, Mr. Lebowski?
  • The Dude: Okay. The old man told me to take any rug in the house.
  • Brandt: You never went to college...
  • The Dude: Oh, no I did, but I spent most of my time occupying various administration buildings... smoking a lot of thai stick... breaking into the ROTC... and bowling. To tell you the truth Brandt, I don't remember most of it.
  • Brandt: Her life is in your hands.
  • The Dude: Man, don't say that, man.
  • Brandt: Mr. Lebowski asked me to repeat that: her life is in your hands.
  • The Dude: Oh, shit, man.
  • Brandt: Her life is in your hands, Dude.
  • Brandt: [the Dude is leaving after his first meeting with Lebowski] Well, enjoy. And perhaps we'll see you again some time, Dude.
  • The Dude: Yeah, sure, if I'm... in the neighborhood and I, uh... gotta use the john.
  • The Big Lebowski: They did not receive the money, you nitwit! They did not receive the money! Her life was in your hands!
  • Brandt: This is our concern, Dude.
  • Brandt: Who is this gentleman, Dude?
  • Walter Sobchak: Who am I? I'm a fucking veteran, that's who I am!
  • Brandt: Mr. Lebowski is prepared to make a generous offer to you to act as courier, once we get instructions for the money.
  • The Dude: Why me, man?
  • Brandt: He believes the culprits might be the very people who, uh, soiled your rug, and you are in a unique position to confirm or disconfirm that suspicion.
  • The Dude: He thinks the carpet pissers did this?
  • Brandt: Well Dude, we just don't know.
  • The Big Lebowski: Start talking and talk fast you lousy bum.
  • Brandt: We've been frantically trying to reach you, Dude.
  • The Big Lebowski: Where is my goddamn money you bum?
  • Brandt: We've had some terrible news. Mr. Lebowski is in seclusion in the West Wing.
