The Dude has a habit of repeating phrases he hears from other characters. The George Bush speech "This aggression will not stand" is repeated by The Dude to the Big Lebowski. Brandt tells The Dude that "her life is in your hands", which The Dude repeats during the ransom delivery. Walter tells The Dude that "nothing is fu--ed"; The Dude repeats it in the limo. Maude Lebowski uses the phrase "Parlance of our times"; The Dude repeats this one in the limo as well. The Big Lebowski says he "will not abide another toe!"; at the end of the movie "The Dude abides". He threatens Larry with genital mutilation, like the nihilists did in his bathroom. In fact, many of the main characters do the same thing, except not always with phrases they've heard. For example, the Treehorn thugs say "Do you see what happens, Lebowski?" when Woo is peeing on the rug, and Walter says "Do you see what happens, Larry?" when he is smashing the Corvette. Walter says "The Chinaman is not the issue here!" in the bowling alley, and then, in the next scene, the Big Lebowski says "My wife is not the issue here!". Jesus Quintana uses the phrase "I fu--ed you in the a-s", and this is later repeatedly shouted by one of the nihilists, and re-phrased by Walter as "This is what happens when you fu-k a stranger in the a-s!" Perhaps the most repeated phrase, "what the fu-k are you talking about?" is first used by The Dude in the first bowling scene, and then repeated and paraphrased throughout the movie by The Dude, Walter, Donny, and Da Fino (Jon Polito).
