The Big Lebowski Scene 17 Summary

  • The Dude and Walter meet for coffee to discuss the situation.
  • Even though The Dude is sure that all of these new developments mean curtains for Bunny (and himself), Walter is unimpressed with the toe stunt.
  • "You want a toe?" Walter asks. "I can get you a toe. Believe me, there are ways, Dude. Hell—I can get you a toe by 3 o'clock this afternoon. With nail polish."
  • A waitress comes over and tells them that they're being too loud.
  • Walter has another outburst, claiming that he didn't watch his buddies die face-down in the muck in 'Nam in order to have his basic freedoms challenged by a family restaurant.
  • The Dude can't deal and leaves the restaurant.
  • Walter stays to assert his First Amendment rights and finish his coffee.
