Quotes:
Silent Bob: But, by the time I figured this all out, it was too late; she moved on. And all I had to show for it was some foolish pride which then gave way to regret. She was the girl. I know that now. But, I pushed her away. So I've spent everyday since then chasing Amy. So to speak.
Banky: All every woman really wants, be it mother, senator, nun, is some serious deep-dickin'.
Hooper: For years in this industry, whenever an African American character, hero or villain, was introduced - usually by white artists and writers - they got slapped with racist names that singled them out as Negroes. Now, my book, "White-Hating Coon," don't have none of that bullshit. The hero's name is Maleekwa, and he's descended from the black tribe that established the first society on the planet, while all you European... Holden: Ah, that's a bunch of horse-shit! Lando Calrissian was a black guy. He got to fly the Millenium Falcon! Hooper: Who said that? Holden: I did! Lando Calrissian is a strong role-model for the African-American community! Hooper: Man, f**k Lando Calrissian! Uncle-Tom nigger!
Banky: This is all going to end badly.
Banky: Alright, now see this? This is a four-way road, OK? And dead in the center is a crisp, new, hundred dollar bill. Now, at the end of each of these streets are four people, OK? Are you following? Holden: Yeah. Banky: Good. Over here, we have a male-affectionate, easy to get along with, non-political agenda lesbian. Down here, we have a man-hating, angry as f**k, agenda of rage, bitter dyke. Over here, we got Santa Claus, and up here the Easter Bunny. Which one is going to get to the hundred dollar bill first? Holden: What is this supposed to prove? Banky: No, I'm serious. This is a serious exercise. It's like an SAT question. Which one is going to get to the hundred dollar bill first? The male-friendly lesbian, the man-hating dyke, Santa Claus, or the Easter bunny? Holden: The man-hating dyke. Banky: Good. Why? Holden: I don't know. Banky: Because the other three are figments of your f**king imagination!
Trivia:
The scene between Alyssa, Holden and Banky at the nightclub discussing problems with oral sex was originally written for Mallrats, between T.S., Brodie, and Hooper.
The sequence in the club, where Banky and Alyssa compare cunnilingus scars and stories, parodies a similar scene on board the boat in Jaws between Hooper and Quint.
When Holden and Alyssa go skee-balling, there is a coin machine with the name "Gottlieb" on it (a major arcade-game maker). Carl Gottlieb was the co-writer of the Jaws screenplay, favorite film of director Kevin Smith.
Holden and Banky are both characters in J. D. Salinger's novel, "The Catcher in the Rye". (In the novel, "Ed Banky" was a gym teacher who would let students borrow his car so they could make out and have sex with their girlfriends.)
The Button on Hooper's jacket during the "black rage" scene says "The Black Man is God."
Credits Fun:
After the end credits, Jay and Silent Bob have a final exchange.
