Human Paraquat

[Clément Lévy]

Well, it's Walter who calls the Big Lebowski a "human paraquat" in  
one of the last scenes. And is he saying "that crip can roll" or  
something? Walter cannot believe that the BL is really disabled. It  
reminds me the "Mein Führer I Kan Valk" of Peter Sellers in Dr.  
Strangelove!
But of course the Dude never says something original except some very  
ironic statements ("the money must be down there somewhere, let me  
have another look," "nice marmot," or "a nihilist? hmm that must be  
exhausting") or dumb lines ("what day is it?", "I'll come again some  
time, if I need to use the john")
I love the Malibu chief of police scene. After the Dude says "I  
wasn't listening", the officer throws his mug at him. And some time  
later, the Dude cannot help listening to "the F****ing Eagles, man, I  
hate the Eagles" (to the cab driver). . . . ha ha ha!
