Two Men of Lebowski

Description

There are many admitted fans of The Big Lebowski and many of them are dedicated to the point of obsession. Into that category squarely falls <a href="http://www.runleiarun.com/lebowski/" author="Adam Bertocci">Two Gentlemen of Lebowski</a>, which is the entire script of the film rewritten in the style of William Shakespeare. This first sample is the first scene in the bowling alley where Smokey steps over the foul line and Walter takes offense. <bq caption="On Bowling" author="Walter">Smokey, this be not the foul jungles of the darkest East Orient. This be ninepins. We are bound by laws. O unrightful judge! This forfeiture is set in iron law As drawn by great authority of league. One roll might well determine that our side Advance to glory; or be instead retired As moss upon a tree-stump, while the Smoke Drifts out to glorious summer. Canst thou hear The call of robin redbreasts? If robin shall Restore amends, we must serve justice Here. Be I wrong?</bq> The following citation is Walter's angry response to The Dude when called on a Saturday. <bq caption="On the Sabbath" author="Walter">On our most holy Sabbath I am sworn To keep tradition, form and ceremony. The seventh and the last day rests the Jew; I labour not, nor ride in chariot, Nor handle gold, nor even play the cook, And sure as Providence I do not roll. Hath not a Jew rights? Hath not a Jew hands, Organs, bowling-balls, Pomeranians? If you schedule us, must you not do right? If we step o’er the line, do we not mark it nought? The Sabbath; I’ll roll not, God-a-mercy.</bq>
