FIRST NIHILIST
Verily did his consort give her toe
In hopes of seeking gold a thousandfold.

SECOND NIHILIST
It is not fair; ‘tis foul but never fair!

WALTER
And wherefore ‘fair’, when ye be nihilists?
Wherefore the nihilist weeps and cries for ‘fair’?
Thy dispute is of infants...

-Two Gentlemen of Lebowski, Act v, Sc. 2

A very curious excercise in translation. Made me laugh to beat the band. (Parts, anyway.) And yes, it's the entire thing.
