"The supreme court has roundly rejected use of prior restraint" (this was the legal argument used at the Vietnam War era supreme court case regarding the Pentagon Papers)

I always find myself throwing "i can get you a _____... by 3 o'clock this afternoon... with nail polish." Into random conversations. yesterday it was in reference to kittens because I work at a vet and people drop them off in droves. Maybe not my favorite per se but definitely most quoted! Good way to figure out who my people are...
BunnyAndMonkey@reddit (OP)
I absolutely love this. I can only imagine the contexts you can use in a vets clinic….GPS tracker…I can get a GPS tracker by 3 this afternoon…with nail polish. Or…vaccinations…I can get you vaccinations by 3 this afternoon…with nail polish…fucking amateurs. Just DON’T say anything cringe like…euthanized…I can get you euthanized by 3 this afternoon….with nail polish. Apologies for the dark humor.

"I only mention it 'cause sometimes there's a man... I wouldn't say a "hero"- 'cause whats a hero? But sometimes there's a man- and I'm talking about the Dude here. Sometimes there's a man... well, he's the man for his time and place. He fits right in there. And that's the Dude in Los Angels. And even if he is a lazy man, and the Dude was most certainly that, quite possibly the laziest in Los Angeles county, which would place him in the running for laziest world wide. But sometimes there's a man... sometimes there's a man... Well, I just lost my train of thought here."

Sometimes theres a man. I won’t say a hero. Cause whats a hero. But sometimes theres a man. And I’m talking about the dude here. Sometimes theres a man. Well , he’s the man for his time and place. He fits right in there. And thats the dude. In Los Angeles. And even if he’s a lazy man, and the dude was most certainly that. Quite possible the laziest in Los Angeles County. Which would place him high in the running for laziest world-wide. But sometimes theres a man.. sometimes.. theres a man. Awe, I lost my train of thought here.

“You think the carpet pissers did this“ saying the line while holding an inhale of a joint is pure comedy genius
BunnyAndMonkey@reddit (OP)
The scene where he drops the roach in his crotch, he freaks out, camera pans out to a shot from the end of the street as the car slams into a dumpster. It always cracks me up.
smithtattoo@reddit
That is one of my favorite scenes, the way the car hits the dumpster and the front end lifts up in the air kills me every time.

Exactly!!!! Same here!!!

Is necessary means twice scripted? If a mistake, why didn't they reshoot.
maxtitanica@reddit
Feels more normal with minor fuck ups
KillaWallaby@reddit
I like the idea that it's scripted and Brandt has a verbal tick around it. Like he's had to practice too many times talking about the Urban Achievers. You see it with Maude later too "proud we are of all of them." It's the equivalent of yada yada yada to them all at this point.
smithtattoo@reddit
The “ and proud we are of all of them” is what makes that line so good from Maude.
groumly@reddit
Oh wow. I haven’t seen the movie in a while, I listen to it in mp3 instead. I always thought the mp3 encoding skipped or something. But now I see it’s in the actual movie.

After reading all of these comments, I consider this as having watched the movie one more time. However, not being in chronological order, it’s like the Tarantino Cut.
Living-Foundation-51@reddit
Excellent comment. And the timing is perfect. I just read about a hundred responses for just this reason and didn’t even know it. Beautiful.

Wow, it took three years to get this upvote (I’m assuming you did). I had forgotten what I had commented. Thanks for this blast from the past. By the way, this is still my favorite sub Reddit. This stuff never gets old.

The way his voice raises in pitch during “you cant board it it gets upset”

The fact that the dog is clearly a mutt makes it so much funnier too.

drummer8766@reddit
I feel like it’s cliche, and if so, sorry, but I LOVE “Do you see what happens, Larry?! Do you see what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass?!” That whole scene is amazing. “Is this your homework, Larry?” “You’re killing your father, Larry!”
Also, when Walter calls the Dude’s landlord’s dance recital a “what have you” right before the In-N-Out burger absolutely KILLS me.
Also, Jacky Treehorn treats objects like women, man.”
nadamean420@reddit
Yes! I’m with you 💯 on the “what have you” quote!! Already a funny line but Goodman’s delivery of it is what makes it, imo. Between that and how he gestures towards it with his hand, I laugh every time! So perfect lol
