• Bunny Lebowski : I'll suck your cock for a thousand dollars.

  Brandt : Ah hahahahaha! Wonderful woman. We're all, we're all very fond of her. Very free-spirited.

  Bunny Lebowski : Brandt can't watch, though, or he has to pay a hundred.

  Brandt : Ah haha. That's marvelous.

  The Dude : Uh, I'm just gonna go find a cash machine.

• The Dude : These are, uh...

  Brandt : Oh, those are Mr Lebowski's children, so to speak.

  The Dude : Different mothers, huh?

  Brandt : No.

  The Dude : Racially he's pretty cool?

  Brandt : [laughs]  They're not literally his children. They're the Little Lebowski Urban Achievers - inner city children of promise but without the necessary means for a - necessary means for a higher education. So Mr Lebowski is committed to sending all of them to college.

• 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?

  [the Dude walks out and shuts the door] 

  The Big Lebowski : The bums will always lose!

  Brandt : How was your meeting, Mr. Lebowski?

  The Dude : Okay. The old man told me to take any rug in the house.

• Brandt : You never went to college...

  The Dude : Oh, no I did, but I spent most of my time occupying various administration buildings... smoking a lot of thai stick... breaking into the ROTC... and bowling. To tell you the truth Brandt, I don't remember most of it.

• Brandt : Her life is in your hands.

  The Dude : Man, don't say that, man.

  Brandt : Mr. Lebowski asked me to repeat that: her life is in your hands.

  The Dude : Oh, shit, man.

  Brandt : Her life is in your hands, Dude.

• The Big Lebowski : They did not receive the money, you nitwit! They did not receive the money! Her life was in your hands!

  Brandt : This is our concern, Dude.

• Brandt : [the Dude is leaving after his first meeting with Lebowski]  Well, enjoy. And perhaps we'll see you again some time, Dude.

  The Dude : Yeah, sure, if I'm... in the neighborhood and I, uh... gotta use the john.

• Brandt : Who is this gentleman, Dude?

  Walter Sobchak : Who am I? I'm a fucking Veteran, that's who I am!

• Brandt : Mr. Lebowski is prepared to make a generous offer to you to act as courier, once we get instructions for the money.

  The Dude : Why me, man?

  Brandt : He believes the culprits might be the very people who, uh, soiled your rug, and you are in a unique position to confirm or disconfirm that suspicion.

  The Dude : He thinks the carpet pissers did this?

  Brandt : Well Dude, we just don't know.

• The Big Lebowski : Start talking and talk fast you lousy bum.

  Brandt : We've been frantically trying to reach you, Dude.

  The Big Lebowski : Where is my goddamn money you bum?

• Brandt : We've had some terrible news. Mr. Lebowski is in seclusion in the West Wing.
