    The Big Lebowski. Every time.

    He just picks things up through the movie and uses them later. One of the best examples starts in the opening scene of the movie where he’s buying milk and paying with a check, as he’s writing it out there’s a t.v. behind the cashier playing GWB Sr saying “This aggression against Kuwait will not stand”, then way later in the movie someone is shouting at him and he uses the line “this aggression will not stand” and you know he’s picked it up from that earlier scene and used it again. The movie is full of this kind of callback and interaction.

      The conversation with him and Maude Lebowski is also a great example of this:

      Maude Lebowski: Do you like sex, Mr. Lebowski?

      The Dude: 'Scuse me?

      Maude Lebowski: Sex. The physical act of love. Coitus. Do you like it?

      The Dude: I was talking about my rug.

      Maude Lebowski: You’re not interested in sex?

      The Dude: You mean coitus?

      Gets me every time
