	 . . .If Chung has to speculate, he'll bet it's the dialogue among
	characters like the Dude, Walter (John Goodman) and Donny
	(Steve Buscemi), which is quoted constantly at fests. "Generally,
	films have dialogue to support the plot," Chung says. "This one
	has a plot to support the dialogue."

====================================================

	The Dude: Walter, what is the point? Look, we all know who is
	at fault here, what the fuck are you talking about?

	Walter Sobchak: Huh? No, what the fuck are you... I'm not...
	We're talking about unchecked aggression here, dude.

	Donny: What the fuck is he talking about?

	The Dude: My rug.
	
	Walter Sobchak: Forget it, Donny, you're out of your element!

	The Dude: Walter, the chinaman who peed on my rug, I can't go
	 give him a bill, so what the fuck are you talking about?

	Walter Sobchak: What the fuck are you talking about? 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.

	The Dude: Walter, this isn't a guy who built the railroads here.
	This is a guy...
	
	Walter Sobchak: What the fuck are you...?

	The Dude: Walter, he peed on my rug!

	Donny: He peed on the Dude's rug.
	
	Walter Sobchak: Donny you're out of your element! Dude, the
	Chinaman is not the issue here!

	Vice is Pynchon doing what he does best- having fun and not
	giving a fuck. I can picture his response to snooty, would-be
	detractors claiming he has jumped the shark-—Yeah? Well,
	that’s just like, your opinion, man.
