How did Larry's homework get in the Dude's car?
Posted by Velocitor1729@reddit | lebowski | View on Reddit | 117 comments
The cop at the impound lot suggests somebody may have slept in the car, or used it as a toilet. Maybe that person grabbed the homework out of nearby trash, for toilet paper.
Or maybe the Nihilists had it for some reason, when they stole the car.
Any other theories?

Larry stole the car, add to your list of possibilities.

Larry stole the car, looked in the briefcase, and found phone books inside. Thinking nothing of it, he tossed the briefcase and went for a joyride. He hit an abutment in Van Nuys, pooped his pants, and moved on. Typical Tuesday afternoon for the little stonewalling prick.
mayosterd@reddit
He’s killing his father
Tasty-Application807@reddit
Time for plan B.
gouged_haunches@reddit
That had not occurred to us, Dude.
Tasty-Application807@reddit
So then when Dude and Walter arrive at Larry's house he is stonewalling them at first, but the moment Dude starts talking about money he is genuinely baffled from that point forward. For once he's not just stonewalling, his reaction is sincere.
Tasty-Application807@reddit
Or should I say lack of a response
JohaVer@reddit
Well, he is a fucking dunce, after all
thedudeabidesb@reddit
a dunce who’ killing his father
Rondo27@reddit
In light of all this new shit
Tasty-Application807@reddit
It's not new shit, it's pretty straightforward. OP's thinking on this case has become very uptight.
sakko303@reddit
The story is ludicrous.
mat_srutabes@reddit
It did not look like little Larry was about to crack
jpopimpin777@reddit
Well, that's your perception.
STEELCITY1989@reddit
The rub pissers didn't do this
TroutBite@reddit
With the bad grade on the ‘Louisiana Purchase’ paper, he put it in his back pocket and decided he wasn’t going to ‘purchase’ shit, and steal a car instead for free.
DaniLabelle@reddit
Flunking social studies.
2wheelsThx@reddit
This is the answer. Little Larry had it stuffed into his back pocket. Being pissed-off at his grade, he decided to jack The Dude's car, and it fell out of his pocket and got stuffed into the seat when he drove it into an abutment.
aka__annika_bell@reddit
And yet he's a fucking dunce

Larry stole car for a joyride situation.

Ms. Jamtoss was tossing salad in the car with a vagrant and one of her graded papers was left behind by accident.
1KTakk@reddit
Larry stole the car, Jesus, were you listening to the Dude's story, Donny?
Flora_Screaming@reddit
Arthur Digby Sellers actually stole the car and framed his fucking dunce son by planting the homework in the car. When he saw The Dude and Walter coming to beat his ass he faked being in an iron lung and told his son to stonewall them.

Little Larry stole the car and forgot his homework in it. It was a joyride situation. He left it lodged against an abutment and after that, a vagrant slept in the car and just used it as a toilet and moved on.
bebopgamer@reddit
It was parked in a handicap zone. Perhaps they towed it?

The Dude and Walter just assumed that Larry had stolen the fucking money that TBL never gave them in the first place. The new shit (that there were 2 seperate ringers) had not come to light yet.

Embarrassed_Hat_9476@reddit
So you have no frame of reference
Ok_Television9820@reddit
Well, Dude, we just don’t know.
Seriously there’s zero evidence Larry was ever in the car. That would explain his reaction when they brace him. He’s not a world-class stonewaller: he’s actually just a dunce and has no idea what in God’s holy name they’re blathering about.

PILAR?

GravsReignbow@reddit
the nihilist took the car bc they wanted the money, lebowski (but wasn’t in there bc it was a ringer for a ringer) and beat up Larry and having his homework in the car. larry was completely innocent and nihilists were dumb bullies and never realized the dude doesn’t know it was them, kinda went under the rug that tied the room together, like a tumbleweed- heck, here i go again…
SwiftKickRibTickler@reddit
You're rambling again
DanishTango@reddit
Yeah, but why? What connects the whole Larry trip to the rest of the story? Through the father in the iron lung?
dandle@reddit
It was a fictionalized version of a real event that happened to one of the Coen Brothers' other friends, Peter Exline. Exline's car was stolen. The cops recovered it. A kid's homework was in the car. Exline and his friend Lew Abernathy tracked down the kid. The circumstances of their visit are familiar to Achievers.
The Coens just thought it was a great story.
Made me laugh to beat the band. Parts anyway.
SwiftKickRibTickler@reddit
Separate incidents?!
IAlreadyKnow1754@reddit
Uh he gets the passing grade?

Because Larry has the money.

There never was any money. The Big Lebowski gave him an empty briefcase.

We know it’s his fucking homework. And we know he stole the car. And the fuckin money. And we know it’s his homework.
Tummeh142@reddit
Either Larry and his buddies stole the car and Larry actually did leave his homework in the car, or a vagrant grabbed his homework out of the trash when they grabbed a bunch of stuff, and brought the trash/papers into the car to use as insulation or to search through for food, or use as TP, or whatever.

Larry stole the car, and his homework was half shoved in his back pocket. He hit the retaining wall because he didn't know how to drive (he was 15). When he got out of the car, the homework fell out of his pocket. Then, a vagrant found the car lodged against the abutment and slept in it or just used it as a toilet and moved on.
