- The Dude is lying on his rug and listening to bowling sounds on his Walkman, which is a music-entertainment device dating back to the Mesozoic era.
- He opens his eyes and finds a woman with a severe bob standing over him. She's flanked by two tough guys.
- It seems like everybody has a set of exactly two tough guys in this movie—everybody except for The Dude, that is. One of them punches The Dude, and it's lights out.
- Then, The Dude is flying over L.A., Superman-style.
- Ahead of him is the woman with the severe bob, Maude Lebowski. She's riding a flying rug.
- Then, The Dude is holding a bowling ball in his hand—a bowling ball that quickly has him plummeting to the ground.
- Next thing he knows, he's actually trapped inside a bowling ball and headed for a set of pins. The whole thing is very trippy.
