Walter: Yeah, go figure. Well we'll go out there after the, uh, the what have you. We'll, uh--
Donny: We'll be near the In-and-Out Burger.
Walter: Shut the fuck up, Donny. We'll, uh, brace the kid--he'll be a pushover. We'll get that fucking money, if he hasn't spent it already. Million fucking clams. And yes, we'll be near the, uh--some burgers, some beers, a few laughs. Our fucking troubles are over, Dude.
from the tool website:
After checking out Butcher at Estrofest on Wednesday night, while watching The Big Lebowski on my VCR with one of my "special lady friends", I noticed that in the scene where were first introduced to Jeff Bridges character, Jeffery Lebowski (I mean, The Dude), as he writes a check for 69 cents at the check-out counter in Ralphs, the date he writes on the check appears to be Sept 11, 1991. At the same time, we hear then President George Bush stating that This will not stand This aggression will not stand (referring to Saddam Husseins invasion of Kuwait). Sept 11, 1991 would be exactly 10 years before the 911 terrorist attacks on America with its Kuwait connection. The film itself was made several years before the attack, so with both the date written on the check and the words of George Bush Sr., I thought this was a coincidence worthy of those of a conspiratorial bent, ESPECIALLY keeping in mind the plot of the film itself. Am I right? Am I right?.. Or did I, in fact, temporarily enter another dimension?

What the hell does the plot of the movie have to do with 9/11?
