what makes a man, mr. lebowski?

LEBOWSKI
Funny–I can look back on a life of achievement, on challenges met, competitors bested, obstacles overcome. I’ve accomplished more than most men, and without the use of my legs. What? What makes a man, Mr. Lebowski?

DUDE
Dude.

LEBOWSKI
Huh?

DUDE
Uh, I, I don’t know, sir.

LEBOWSKI
Is it being prepared to do the right thing? Whatever the cost? Isn’t that that makes a man?

DUDE
Ummm..sure. That and a pair of testicles.

LEBOWSKI
You’re joking. But perhaps you’re right.
