The possibilities are almost endless. Choosing the best quotes from the movie "The Big Lebowski" is a bit like trying to choose a favorite flavor of ice cream. To the loyal fans of the 1998 Coen Brothers movie starring Jeff Bridges, John Goodman, Steve Buscemi, Phillip Seymore Hoffman, Julianne Moore, John Tuturo and Tera Reid, the whole epic story of a middle aged, out of shape, bowling lovin' stoner from Los Angeles and his efforts to save a kidnapped porn star from the clutches of Nihilists could be one long quote.

This year marks the 10th anniversary of when the Coen Brothers introduced us to the unlikely hero known as "The Dude" and in preparation for the party known as Lebowski Fest here in San Francisco (Sept 5th and 6th), we've done our best to nail down the 10 most memorable quotes from what the Rolling Stones recently called "the most worshipped comedy of its generation". Here there are in no particular order.

During practice, Donny tells Walter when their next game is. When Walter says he won't bowl on Saturday, Donny wants to know why.
Walter: Saturday, Donny, is Shabbos, the Jewish day of rest. That means that I don't work, I don't get in a car, I don't f*cking ride in a car, I don't pick up the phone, I don't turn on the oven, and I sure as shit don't f*cking roll!

When Jesus (John Tuturo) finds out that Walter is refusing to bowl on Saturday...
Jesus: I would have f*cked you in the ass Saturday. I f*ck you in the ass next Wednesday instead. Wooo! You got a date Wednesday, baby!

In the beginning of the movie, the plot is laid out by someone (of asian descent) peeing on The Dude's rug. As Walter explains, the problem goes beyond the guy who did the peeing.
Walter: The chinaman is not the issue here, Dude. I'm talking about drawing a line in the sand, Dude. Across this line, you DO NOT... Also, Dude, chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature. Asian-American, please.

When Larry Sellers, who by the way is flunking Social Studies, stonewalls Walter and The Dude, Walter decides to show Larry what happens.
Walter: This is what happens Larry when you f'*k a stanger in the ass

When Smokey (a rival bowler) steps over the line, Walter crys foul. Oh yeah, if you haven't seen the movie, imagine him saying this while he is pointing a gun at Smokeys head!
Walter: This isn't nam Smokey, this is bowling, there are rules. You mark that frame an 8, and you're entering a world of pain.

When Walter finds out that they are dealing with Nihilists...
Walter: Nihilists! F*ck me. I mean, say what you like about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, at least it's an ethos.

When Bunny's toe (or at least someones toe) gets sent to The Dude as a threat, walter assures him not to worry...
Walter: 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. Hell, I can get you a toe by 3 o'clock this afternoon... with nail polish. These f*cking amateurs...

When Walter shows up to bowling with a carrier, The Dude finds out it's because Walter is watching his ex-wife's dog while she and Marty Ackerman are in Hawaii.
The Dude: You brought the f*ckin' Pomeranian bowling?
Walter: What do you mean brought it bowling, Dude? I didn't rent it shoes. I'm not buying it a f*cking beer. He's not taking your f*cking turn, Dude.

When the "other, more wealthy" Jeffrey Lebowski decides to let The Dude know his thoughts on his choice of career (or lack there of)...
The Big Lebowski: Your revolution is over, Mr. Lebowski. Condolences. The bums lost. My advice is to do what your parents did; get a job, sir. The bums will always lose. Do you hear me, Lebowski?

Walter's take on Pacifism...
Walter: Look at our current situation with that camel fucker over in Iraq. Pacifism is not something to hide behind.

Jesus is not intimidated by Walter and his tendency to get what he wants by sticking his gun in peoples faces.
Jesus: Let me tell you something, pendejo. You pull any your crazy sh*t with us, you flash a piece out on the lanes, I'll take it away from you and stick it up your ass and pull the f*cking trigger till it goes "click".
The Dude: Jesus.
Jesus: You said it, man. Nobody f*cks with the Jesus.

The list really could go on for days but for the best quotes, watch the movie. If you haven't seen it before, you will thank us. If you have, watch it again... You will thank us as well.
