Two Gentlemen of Lebowski

Photi

This has probably been posted elsewhere, but if you're a dude fan you have to read it. It's jaw-droppingly brilliant.

Act 1.2 is GENIUS

WALTER
In sooth, then, faithful friend, this was a rug of value?
Thou wouldst call it not a rug among ordinary rugs, but a rug of
purpose? A star in a firmament, in step with the fashion alike to the
Whitsun morris-dance? A worthy rug, a rug of consequence, sir?
THE KNAVE

It was of consequence, I should think; verily, it tied the room
together, gather’d its qualities as the sweet lovers’ spring grass doth
the morning dew or the rough scythe the first of autumn harvests. It
sat between the four sides of the room, making substance of a square,
respecting each wall in equal harmony, in geometer’s cap; a great
reckoning in a little room. Verily, it transform’d the room from the
space between four walls presented, to the harbour of a man’s monarchy.
WALTER

Indeed, a rug of value; an estimable rug, an honour’d rug; O unhappy rug, that should live to cover such days!
DONALD

Of what dost thou speak, that tied the room together, Knave? Take
pains, for I would well hear of that which tied the room together.
WALTER

Didst thou attend the Knave’s tragic history, Sir Donald?
DONALD

Nay, good Sir Walter, I was a-bowling.
WALTER

Thou attend’st not; and so thou hast no frame of reference. Thou art as
a child, wandering and strutting amidst the groundlings as a play is in
session, heeding not the poor players, their exits and their entrances,
and, wanting to know the subject of the story, asking which is the
lover and which the tyrant.
THE KNAVE

Come to the point, Sir Walter.

Wow, my favourite movie of all time... and also I think probably William Shakespeare's greatest play.

(Hamlet's alright but it could have used more Donald)

Brilliant. Someone had waaay too much time on their hands anyway. Just watched this again the other day. Didnt like it the first couple of times I saw it but its hilarious
