"The most cultic line in American Jewish comedy may have been uttered in the Coen Brothers' 1998 film The Big Lebowski. John Goodman plays Walter Sobchak, a convert to Judaism, formerly a Polish Catholic, who won't participate in the bowling league tournament because he is 'shomer shabbos.'"
Burstein, Nathan. "'Big Lebowski' to roll this 'shabbos'", The Jerusalem Post, June 22, 2006. Accessed December 28, 2016. "The film centers on a stoner known as The Dude (a glazed-over Jeff Bridges), but John Goodman walks away with the movie thanks to his barnstorming, car-vandalizing performance as Walter Sobchak, a Polish-Catholic convert to Judaism constantly railing against those who would have him go bowling on 'shabbos.'... 'Saturday,' he explains at a rapidly increasing decibel level, 'is shabbos, the Jewish day of rest. That means that I don't work, I don't get in a car, I don't [expletive] ride in a car, I don't pick up the phone, I don't turn on the oven, and I sure as [expletive] don't [expletive] roll! Shomer shabbos!... Shomer [expletive] shabbos!'"
