Quotes
The Stranger:
Way out west there was this fella... fella I wanna tell ya about. Fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski. At least that was the handle his loving parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself. Mr. Lebowski, he called himself "The Dude". Now...
Goofs
The Dude had the silver briefcase, which supposedly contained $1 million, for several days before it is stolen along with his car, yet during the time that he had it he never opened it to be sure the money was there.
