Renee: Brodie, I've always taken you with a grain of salt. On your birthday, when you told me to do a striptease to the theme of "Mighty Mouse," I did it. On prom night at the hotel when you told me to sleep under the bed in case your mother barged in, I said okay. And even during my grandmother's funeral when you told my relatives that you could see her nipples through her burial dress, I let that slide. But if you think I'm gonna suffer any of your shit with a smile now that we're broken up, you're in for some serious fucking disappointment!
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!
T.S.: How do I do that?
Jay: Where do you get these wonderful toys?
Brodie: Cookie stand's not part of the food court. T.S.: Sure it is. Brodie: The food court is downstairs the cookie stand is upstairs it's not like we're talking quantum physics here! T.S.: The cookie stand is an eatery, an eatery is part of the food court. Brodie: Bullshit! Eateries that operate within the designated square downstairs qualify as food court, anything operating outside the said designated square is considered an autonomous unit for mid-mall snacking.
Trivia:
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.
Svenning was not originally supposed to be bald. Michael Rooker was trying to dye his hair gray for a better look, and decided that bald would work even better.
Brodie's comic book collection seen in the movie was actually director Kevin Smith's collection (which has grown considerably since). The collection is what Smith was able to purchase back after selling his original collection to finance production of Clerks.
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 Henry Hudson T-shirt Brodie is seen wearing during the Segaboy scene is from Kevin Smith's old high school, Henry Hudson High in New Jersey.
