:01:01
where I come from.
:01:03
But then, there was
a lot about The Dude

:01:05
that didn't make a whole
lot of sense to me,

:01:08
and a lot about
where he lived, likewise.

:01:13
But then again,
:01:15
maybe that's why I found the
place so dern interesting.

:01:22
They call Los Angeles
The City of Angels.

:01:27
I didn't find it
to be that exactly.

:01:29
But I'll allow there
are some nice folks there.

:01:33
'Course I can't
say I seen London,

:01:36
And I never
been to France,

:01:38
And I ain't never seen no
queen in her damned undies

:01:41
as the fella says.
:01:43
But I'll tell you what,
:01:45
after seeing Los Angeles
:01:47
And this a-here story
I'm about to unfold,

:01:50
Well, I guess
I seen somethin'

:01:53
every bit as stupefyin'
:01:54
as you'd see in any
of those other places,

:01:57
and in English, too.
:01:59
So I can die
with a smile on my face

:02:02
without feeling like
the good Lord gypped me.

:02:05
Now this here story
I'm about to unfold

:02:08
took place back
in the early nineties,

:02:11
just about the time of
our conflict with Saddam

:02:13
and the Iraqis.
:02:15
I only mention it 'cause
sometimes there's a man,

:02:19
I won't say a hero,
:02:21
'Cause what's a hero?
:02:23
But sometimes
there's a man,

:02:25
and I'm talking
about The Dude here,

:02:28
sometimes there's a man,
:02:32
he's the man
for his time and place.

:02:35
He fits right in there,
:02:38
and that's The Dude,
:02:40
in Los Angeles.
:02:42
And even if
he's a lazy man,

:02:45
and The Dude was
most certainly that,

:02:48
quite possibly the laziest
in Los Angeles county,

:02:51
which would place him
high in the running

:02:53
for laziest worldwide.
:02:56
But sometimes
there's a man,

:02:59
sometimes...
There's a man.
