Brodie: Listen, not a year goes by, not a year, that I don't hear about some escalator accident involving some bastard kid which could have easily been avoided had some parent--I don't care which one--but some parent conditioned him to fear and respect that escalator!
Brodie: He must be halfway to Buy Me Toys by now.
Shannon: I'm gonna fuck you up beyond repair!
T.S.: How do I do that?
Trivia:
When Rene (Shannen Doherty) runs to tell Jay and Silent Bob that Brodie and T.S. are being arrested, Willam (Ethan Suplee) ad-libs, "Brenda?" - a joke reference to Doherty's character on "Beverly Hills, 90210".
The studio almost replaced Jason Mewes with Seth Green to play Jay. Kevin Smith insisted that Jason Mewes should play Jay, but the studio made Smith take auditions for the role. Breckin Meyer also auditioned for the role of Jay. In the end, all parties agreed that Jason Mewes was right for the part.
The book Bob is reading in the bookstore is simply a mockup, as is the display stand - the real book had not come out yet.
Eden Prairie Center, where the film was shot, worked out perfectly for the shooting. The there were a lot of vacant store fronts, so the producers could set up "fake stores" for the film.
The person laughing during the Gramercy title sequence is a cellist in Ira Newborn's orchestra.
