THE BIG LEBOWSKI (script)

[HuffAndPuff]

I suggest you all print out 2 copies of this. One for the commode, the other to put where your bible/koran/torah crrently resides. If you don't think it's funny, then smoke, read, watch, repeat until you do.

[EDIT: Upon review, I think that people who have seen the movie as many times as I have, will notice some discrepancies btw. the film and this script. My buddy bought a copy of it in NY and it had similar mistakes, if in fact they were two different versions. I wonder if this was the actual script, and the actors based there lines on this? Because it is close, and they get stuff right that I would not expect them to, while they mess up the stuff that is said perfectly clearly in the film]

Deviations from scripts are the norm - many directors have their actors "run with it" and improvise a little, especially if they're talented enough (the actors). When they cut together the final product they'll use the best take regardless of how true to the script it is, usually.

I've always thought The Dude was modelled on someone the Coen bros. knew personally, and who may have been their personal hook-up.

 

[HuffAndPuff]

Jeff "the Dude" Dowd was indeed their friend, and inspiration for the character. I have not heard personal hook-up, but the man does love to party. He went to the last lebowski fest, and HighTimes did a piece on him not too long ago.

alpha- so do you think this is the original script then, and not some close transcription, after the fact?

The Lebowski Fest is ****ing awesome. I always enjoy going. I believe there are several in different cities but I could be wrong. But as to reading the script, I would probably just get stoned and watch the movie. It is a hobby of mine and all. :wink:

Hey HuffnP,

I tried to give ya some rep for this thread (my favorite movie ever...at least its the movie I have seen the most...over 20 times easy by now) but IT says I must spread the rep around. I haven't been doing much posting of late I guess, I can't remember the last time I gave rep to ya, but it was a while ago.

Anyways, regarding the rep you helped me with recently, regarding the Bard, if PG means "post graduate," then no, its not PG...and I couldn't begin to suggest what iteration it would be, not really sure what that means to tell the truth. I just happened to know of that famous quote, it is so perfect for certain situations. Thanks for the K+.

DUDE: They kept saying they believe in nothing.
WALTER: Nihilists! Jesus. (Walter looks haunted)
Say what you like about the tenets of National Socialism,
Dude, at least it's an ethos.

Walter Sobchak: Look, Larry. Have you ever heard of Vietnam?

The Dude: Oh, for Christ's sake, Walter...

Walter Sobchak: You're entering a world of pain, son. We know that this is your homework. We know that you stole a car.

The Dude: And the fxcking money.

Walter Sobchak: And the fxcking money. And, we know that this is your homework.

The Dude: We're going to cut your dick off, Larry.

Walter Sobchak: You're killing your father, Larry!

It's a great movie. Awesome cast, specially John Goodman.

Ha! Thanks for verifying the gut feeling. I'd love to go to a LebowskiFest!

It very well could be an original script; not sure how you'd go about verifying that tho. Here's another link... http://www.awesomefilm.com/script/biglebowski.txt

You want a toe? I can get you a toe, believe me. There are ways, Dude. You don't wanna know about it, believe me.
