Quotes:

T.S.: How do I do that?
Jay: Where do you get these wonderful toys?
[to T.S.]
Brodie: You're gonna listen to me? To something I said? Hasn't it become abundantly clear during the tenure of our friendship that I don't know shit?
Shannon: I'm gonna fuck you up beyond repair!
[Brodie picks up a controller and continues a paused video game.]
Renee: What are you doing? You promised me breakfast.
Brodie: Breakfast, shmreakfast. Look at the score, for Christ's sake. It's only the second period and I'm up 12 to 2. Breakfasts come and go, Renee, but Hartford, "the Whale," they only beat Vancouver once, maybe twice in a lifetime.

Trivia:

"La Fours", the mall security guard, is a reference to "La Force" the bounty hunter after Robert Redford and Paul Newman in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Both characters are noted for their straw hats and being the toughest lawmen around.
The US 1 Flea Market - AKA "The Dirt Mall" - was torn down in the mid-1990s. It is now the site of a multiplex cinema.
When Jared Svenning pulls Roddy down and says "What the f*** is goin' on up there?" it is intended to be a reference to the line from Animal House (although in Animal House, the line is "down there" not "up there").
Silent Bob hanging upside down to put the video tape in the player is a reference to the Ice monster scene in Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back.
This is the second film in Kevin Smith's intricately interconnected View Askewniverse series (the others being Clerks., Chasing Amy, Dogma and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back). The movies are all linked by characters, themes and events and each contains numerous references to the others.
