Quotes:

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.
T.S.: How do I do that?
Brodie: He must be halfway to Buy Me Toys by now.
[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.
Shannon: I'm gonna fuck you up beyond repair!

Trivia:

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.
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.
Originally, William Atherton was Kevin Smith's first choice to play Jared Svenning. Atherton choose not to do it because the film was aimed at a teenaged audience.
The background music when T.S. and Hamilton are waiting for the elevator is the same as in the elevator in The Blues Brothers, The Girl From Impanema.
T.S. picks up a Clerks hat in the fleamarket.
