About this quote

A deadpan running joke in The Big Lebowski (1998), directed by Joel Coen. Walter (John Goodman) insists he is calm at several points in the film while behaving with explosive volatility. The line is funny precisely because Walter genuinely believes he is the most composed person in any room, regardless of evidence to the contrary.
