The Big Lebowski Society and Class Quotes

How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from The Big Lebowski.

Quote #1

TREEHORN TOUGH: Wu? Isn't this guy supposed to be a millionaire?

After terrorizing The Dude, Jackie Treehorn's toughs realize that they're standing in a dump, which means they've got the wrong apartment. This episode introduces the Lebowski confusion that starts the action rolling and hints that we're going to be looking at two entirely different worlds.

Quote #2

WALTER: Plus, he has the wealth … and the resources … that there's no reason his wife should go out and owe money all over town, and then they come and they pee on your f***ing rug. Am I wrong?

As the Big Lebowski points out, he didn't personally pee on The Dude's rug, so he's not responsible for what was someone else's case of mistaken identity. But you can see that Walter is very bitter about rich people in general, so he thinks the wealthy Lebowski should be held accountable.

Quote #3

BIG LEBOWSKI: Your revolution is over, Mr. Lebowski. Condolences. The bums lost. My advice to you is to do what your parents did. Get a job, sir!

The Big Lebowski disparages The Dude's disheveled, unemployed state. Here's the class war personified in one scene.
