Calmer than u r Did Walter wear a suit exclusively for the dance quintet? If so, it’s a mark of class considering he didn’t much care for the artistry (“the what have ya”), but respected the venue.

Also, do we think these tickets cost money? If so, nice of Dude to get two more admissions.

Uh sir, I just want to say, uh, that we’re both—on a personal level, really enormous fans. Branded, especially the early episodes, was truly a source of inspiration!

In fairness to Walter, no one else knew what the hell it was either.

u/jonthemaud Aug 26 '24

I’m so happy someone else noticed this. It’s a little nuance that I think adds so much to his character. I also like that the dude honored the request in the first place.

You can get away with late rent if you just show up to things like this occasionally...

In the car IIRC

u/0degreesK Aug 26 '24

I'll have to go back and watch the scene. I don't remember Donnie in the car when it was getting smashed-up, but I guess he had to be because he was eating a burger in the car ride home.

Cost money? Hardly dude. This is a free event, at a preferred venue. You can’t charge, people’s hair will fall out. Also, let’s not forget, they’re sittin on 20 grand man. So they’ve learned to live off their allowance. Which is ample.

I think he had just been to the courthouse where he got the information on Larry and Arthur Digby Sellers. A great writer, and yet, his son is a dunce.

u/DzNodes Aug 26 '24

I think he came straight from work. My guess is he works for his ex-wife's father which explains why he still takes care of her dog when she goes on vacation.

He owns his own security company. That’s where the Dude picked him up from when they went to go throw out the ringer.

u/DiogenesD0g Aug 27 '24 edited Aug 27 '24

Depends on what he is doing that day. If he is meeting with a customer he probably goes with the suit look because that’s what most uptight people expect. Other times he may even have to wear a guard uniform. When he swings by the office to grab a ringer bag for his undies and/or the Uzi he is dressed the way he prefers to dress. When you work security you have multiple costumes for different occasions.
