Welcome to Buzz Lines, the new feature on BuzzSugar that lets us reminisce about some of our all-time favorite movies by chiming in about the best lines from a film. You guys showed your love for Clueless last week (as if you wouldn't have), so now let's go to another classic: oft-quoted, legendary Coen Bros. flick, The Big Lebowski.

I'll start you off with a few of my favorite bits of dialogue, but in the comments, it's up to you guys to get it off and running with your favorite lines.

"That rug really tied the room together." — The Dude
"We are nihilists, Lebowski!" — Nihilist

I did not blame anyone for the loss of my legs...a chinaman stole them from me in Korea.

"Donny, you're out of your element!" Man, my friends and I used to say that to each other constantly. :)

I have to agree with PostmodernSleaze that some of the best lines get even better when you watch the censored TV version. Other censored TV favorites of mine include Thelma & Louise, Coming to America and Mallrats.

Can't believe I forgot "Shut the fuck up, Donny."

"You got anymore of that good sarsaparilla?""I can get you a toe by 3 o'clock this afternoon-- with nail polish.""Nobody fucks with the Jesus."And, my absolute favorite, from the censored TV version: "This is what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps!"

When walter says "So you have no frame of reference here, Donny. You're like a child who wanders into the middle of a movie." and of course "Shut the f*ck up Donny!"
