Quote #10
THE DUDE: This is a very complicated case, Maude. A lot of ins, lot of outs. Fortunately, I'm adhering to a pretty strict drug regimen to keep my mind, you know, limber.
Whatever it takes to crack that case, dude. Actually, we're impressed that The Dude is able to figure out as much as he does about the case, given that he's drunk or stoned most of the time. We guess his "limber" mind works better than minds that are locked into one point of view. Weed and LSD, in particular, were seen by flower children as mind-expanding drugs that could give you special insight into things. Or meaningless rambling thoughts, depending on who you ask. Hey, have you ever, like, looked at your hand? I mean, really looked at it? You ever think there could be an entire universe, like, living under your fingernail?
