IMPORTANT NOTICE

Before you start enjoying the machine, you should be aware that TBL comes with a protection

mechanism which takes o the High-voltage (48 VDC) and the 12 VDC from the playeld when the coin

door is opened. This will, for instance, disable the stepper motors and coils. This is to ensure your safety.

The switch responsible for this protection can be found on a bracket at the left side of the coin door.

If you want to disable this protection during testing, you have to pull the pin on this switch till you feel it

click. The protection circuit is now disabled! It is important be aware of this when you touch parts at the

bottom of the playeld. If you close the coin door, the protection is re-instated for the next time.

THE BIG LEBOWSKI

The Big Lebowski Pinball | Operaons Manual 9

THE BIG LEBOWSKI

The Big Lebowski is a 1998 crime comedy written, produced, and directed by Joel and Ethan Coen,

starring Je Bridges as Jerey “The Dude” Lebowski, a Los Angeles slacker and avid bowler. He is

assaulted as a result of mistaken identity, after which The Dude learns that a millionaire (also named

Jerey Lebowski) was the intended victim. The millionaire Lebowski’s trophy wife is kidnapped, and he

commissions The Dude to deliver the ransom to secure her release; the plan goes awry when the Dude’s

friend Walter Sobchak (John Goodman) schemes to keep the ransom money. Julianne Moore, Steve

Buscemi, David Huddleston, John Turturro and Philip Seymour Homan also appear in supporting roles.

PLOT

In 1991 Los Angeles, Jerey “The Dude” Lebowski, a middle-aged bachelor with a penchant for cannabis

and bowling, is assaulted by two goons hired by pornographer Jackie Treehorn, demanding money owed

by the wife of another Jerey Lebowski (the eponymous “Big Lebowski”). Realizing they have the wrong

man, they leave after one of them urinates on the Dude’s rug.

On the advice of his bowling partners Donny Kerabatsos and Vietnam veteran Walter Sobchak, the

Dude seeks compensation from the other Lebowski, a wealthy, disabled philanthropist who refuses his

request. Leaving Lebowski’s mansion, the Dude takes a valuable rug and meets Bunny, Lebowski’s young

trophy wife.

Days later, the Dude is told that Bunny has been kidnapped, and Lebowski wants the Dude to deliver the

ransom money to nd out if the kidnappers are the same people who soiled his rug. The Dude informs

Walter and Donny about the kidnapping and suggests that Bunny may have staged her own kidnapping

to use the ransom money to pay o her debts; Walter is immediately convinced of this and becomes

incredulous at her greed. That night, another pair of thugs knock the Dude unconscious and take his

new rug.

The kidnappers arrange a meeting, and Walter accompanies the Dude. Still convinced that Bunny

“kidnapped herself”, he enacts a plan to give them another briefcase, containing Walter’s “dirty undies”,

so he and the Dude can keep the ransom money. To the Dude’s horror, Walter gives the kidnappers the

fake briefcase. After another game of bowling, the Dude’s car is stolen with the real briefcase inside.

Lebowski’s daughter Maude calls the Dude, explaining that she took the rug and inviting him to visit her.

She plays him a pornographic video revealing Bunny was one of Treehorn’s actresses. Conrming the

Dude’s theory that Bunny staged her own abduction, Maude asks the Dude to recover the ransom which

her father withdrew from the family’s personal foundation. Lebowski confronts the Dude, angry that

he failed to deliver the ransom, and shows him a severed toe presumed to be Bunny’s. Three German

nihilists threaten the Dude, identifying themselves as the kidnappers, however Maude says they are

friends of Bunny.

The Dude’s car is recovered by police, minus the briefcase, but inside the Dude nds the homework of a

high school student named Larry Sellers. Walter and the Dude confront Larry at his family’s home, and

Walter uses a crowbar to wreck a new sports car parked outside which he believes Larry bought with the

stolen money. The car’s real owner rushes outside and wrecks the Dude’s car in revenge, thinking it to

be Walter’s.

The Big Lebowski Pinball | Operaons Manual 10

The Dude is forcibly brought to Treehorn, who is seeking Bunny and the money she owes him. Treehorn

drugs the Dude’s white Russian cocktail, causing him to dream about starring in a Treehorn lm about

bowling with Maude. Awakening in police custody, the Dude is assaulted by the Malibu police chief. After

being kicked out of a cab for hating the Eagles, the Dude is unknowingly passed by Bunny, revealed to

still have all of her toes. The Dude returns home to nd his bungalow ransacked by Treehorn’s goons.

He is seduced by Maude, who hopes to conceive a child but wishes him to have no involvement in its

upbringing. She explains that her father has no money of his own, as her late mother left everything to

the family charity.

Having had an epiphany, the Dude has Walter drive him to the Lebowski estate, where Bunny has

returned, and the truth of her disappearance is revealed: When Bunny left town on an unannounced

trip, her nihilist friends faked her kidnapping to extort money from her husband; Lebowski, who hated

his wife, withdrew the ransom from the foundation but kept it for himself, instead giving the Dude

a briefcase containing phone books. Walter and the Dude confront Lebowski, who refuses to admit

responsibility, so Walter picks him up and throws him out of his wheelchair, thinking he is also faking his

paralysis.

The Dude and his friends return to the bowling alley, where they are confronted by the nihilists.

Learning there was never any money, the nihilists try to rob them but Walter violently fends them o.

During the scue, Donny suers a fatal heart attack and dies.

Some time later, after delivering an informal eulogy to Donny at the beach, Walter accidentally scatters

Donny’s ashes onto the Dude. They go bowling, and the Dude encounters the lm’s cowboy narrator,

who tells the audience that Maude is pregnant with a “little Lebowski” and hopes that the Dude and

Walter will win their upcoming bowling tournament.

“A way out west there was a fella, fella I want to tell you about,

fella by the name of Je Lebowski. At least, that was the handle

his lovin’ parents gave him, but he never had much use for

it himself. This Lebowski, he called himself the Dude...”
