How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from The Big Lebowski.
Quote #1
BIG LEBOWSKI: Every bum's lot in life is his own responsibility, regardless of whom he chooses to blame!
Takes a Lebowski to know a Lebowski, it turns out. The Big Lebowski is lying through his teeth here: although he implies that The Dude is the bum, he's actually the bigger bum of the two, living in his deceased wife's mansion and stealing her fortune.
Quote #2
BIG LEBOWSKI: I've accomplished more than most men.
That depends on what you mean by "accomplished." Lebowski's reputation is based on deceit and manipulation. Does that make it invalid? Does it still count that he helped all those youthful "achievers"? You have to wonder what he's teaching them about achieving.
Quote #3
THE DUDE: She probably kidnapped herself.
Said in reference to Bunny Lebowski. The Dude suspects that Bunny is lying to her husband, but what The Dude doesn't know is that Bunny's husband is lying to The Dude. The Dude knows that Bunny is in debt, so he figures she staged a kidnapping just to get away from it all.
