Since you have failed to achieve, even in the modest task that was your charge, since you have stolen my money, since you have unrepentantly betrayed my trust. I have no choice but to tell these bums to do whatever is necessary to recover their money from you,Jeffrey Lebowski. And with Brandt as my witness, I will tell you this: Any further harm visited upon Bunny, will be visited tenfold upon your head.
