The Big Lebowski Scene 31 Summary

  • The Dude and Walter meet with the mortician who cremated Donny.
  • The urn, the mortician's most "modestly priced receptacle," is $180, which is way too much for Walter and The Dude.
  • They end up carrying out Donny's ashes in a Folgers coffee can.
  • Walter and The Dude carry the Donny-filled coffee can to a cliff, where they plan to scatter his ashes out over the Pacific Ocean.
  • Walter delivers a eulogy that predictably turns into a rant about Vietnam.
  • Then, Walter tries to scatter the ashes, but most of them blow back, covering The Dude's face. The Dude does not take this well.
  • Walter and The Dude hug it out.
