About this quote

Walter Sobchak (John Goodman) refuses to record a bowling score beyond the foul line in The Big Lebowski (1998), directed by Joel Coen. His insistence on rules — "Mark it zero" — escalates a trivial bowling dispute into a near-violent standoff. The scene is a comedic peak in the film and one of John Goodman's most celebrated performances.
