Page "The Big Lebowski" Paragraph 4

Days later, the Big Lebowski contacts The Dude, revealing that Bunny has been kidnapped.

He asks The Dude to act as a courier for the million-dollar ransom because The Dude will be able to confirm whether or not the kidnappers were the same thugs.

Later, a different set of thugs enter The Dude's apartment, knock him unconscious, and steal his new rug.

When Bunny's kidnappers call to arrange the ransom exchange, Walter tries to convince The Dude to keep the money and give the kidnappers a " ringer " suitcase filled with his dirty underwear.

The kidnappers escape with the ringer, and The Dude and Walter are left with the million-dollar ransom.

Later that night, The Dude's car is stolen, along with the briefcase filled with money.

The Dude receives a message from the Big Lebowski's daughter, Maude, who admits to hiring the criminals who knocked him unconscious.

The Dude visits her at her art studio, and she reveals that Bunny is a porn starlet working for Jackie Treehorn.

She agrees with The Dude's suspicion that Bunny kidnapped herself and asks The Dude to recover the ransom, as it was illegally withdrawn by her father from a charity.
