-
[After losing a hockey ball from the roof.]
Dante Hicks: Are there any balls down there?
Jay: About the biggest pair you ever seen, dingleberry!
-
Jay: What's up, baby? What's up, sluts?
-
Randal Graves: My mom's been f**kin' a dead guy for 30 years. I call him dad.
-
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.
-
Randal Graves: Oh, hey Caitlin, break his heart again this time, and I'll kill ya, nothing personal.

Trivia:
|
- The cost of obtaining the rights to the soundtrack (approx. US $27,000) outweighed the entire production costs for this film (approx. US $26,800) - a first in motion picture history.
- William The Idiot Boy was supposed to be a collegiate type, but Scott Mosier reinterpreted the character during a shoot, and it worked out better.
- Clerks was filmed using a 16mm Arri SR-2 camera and used Kodak Plus-X film.
- The guy who buys the cigarettes even after the Chewlies Gum Rep does his lecture is wearing one of Brian O'Hallorann's stage beards as a wig.
- 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.
