In the opening scene at the grocery store, The Dude lazily writes a personal check to pay for a single carton of half-and-half. If you pause the frame and look closely at the paperwork, the check is explicitly dated September 11, 1991. While he is writing it, President George H.W. Bush can be heard on the store's television making a famous speech about the Gulf War, creating a bizarre and eerie historical coincidence years before the tragedy of 2001.
