Quotes:
|
-
Dante Hicks: Hey, whatcha rent? "Best of Both Worlds"?
Randal Graves: Hermaphroditic porn. Starlets with both organs. You should see the box. Beautiful chicks with dicks that put mine to shame.
Dante Hicks: And you rented this?
Randal Graves: Hey, I like to expand my horizons.
-
Jay: I've had some girlfriends too, but all they wanted from me was weed and s**t.
-
Randal Graves: Oh, hey Caitlin, break his heart again this time, and I'll kill ya, nothing personal.
-
Customer: Cute cat. What's his name?
Randal Graves: Annoying customer.
Customer: [grabs pack of cigarettes] F**kin' dickhead.
-
Randal Graves: Melodrama coming from you is about as natural as an oral bowel movement.

Trivia:
|
- The original cut of the film ended with Dante getting shot in a robbery. This was cut out of the release version, but can be seen on the supplementary section of the Laserdisc and DVD.
- The "Clerks" logo is made out of letters cut from various magazines and food items. The C is from Cosmopolitan Magazine, the L is from Life, the E is from Rolling Stone, the R is from Ruffles potato chips, the K is from Clark Bar and the S is from a Goobers box.
- Dante and Randal argue over which is the better film, Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back or Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi.
- Clerks was filmed using a 16mm Arri SR-2 camera and used Kodak Plus-X film.
- Randall and the Happy Scrappy Hero Pup lady are not actually in the room at the same time. Jeff Anderson refused to read the list of porno movies in front of her, and particularly in front of the child.
