Silent Bob: Adventure, excitement... a Jedi craves not these things.
Brodie: He must be halfway to Buy Me Toys by now.
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: 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.
[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?
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.
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.
The pass that Mr. Svenning wears around his neck is the logo of View Askew, the film's production company.
Stan Lee can be seen looking to his left or right repeatedly while talking with Brodie. This is so he can see his cue cards - not being a trained actor, memorizing lines was very difficult. Jeremy London forgot his lines repeatedly.
Two main characters named Brodie Bruce and T.S. Quint are a reference to Jaws where there were characters called Brody and Quint and where the shark was nicknamed "Bruce" on the set.
