1. A sickly pale or yellowish color of skin.

MAUDE
“Take a look at this, sir.”

She is aiming a remote at a projection TV. The screen flickers to life. A title card: JACKIE TREEHORN PRESENTS: KARL HUNGUS AND BUNNY LAJOYA IN LOGJAMMIN’. The Dude is at the bar, a bottle of Kalhua frozen halfway to his glass. From the television set we hear a doorbell ring, and then a door opening. On the TV screen the door opens to reveal a sallow-faced man in blue cover-alls. It is Dieter, the floater in Lebowski’s pool.

DIETER
“Hello. Nein dizbatcher says zere iss problem mit deine kable.”

DUDE
“Shit, I know that guy. He’s a nihilist.”
