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.
     
  • [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.
     
  • 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: He must be halfway to Buy Me Toys by now.
     
  • T.S.: How do I do that?
     

Trivia:

  • Brodie is a comic book collector, there is a comic book store in the mall, comic book creator Stan Lee appears in the movie, Brodie and T.S. discuss Superman's sex life.
     
  • "Gwen Turner" is a reference to Go Fish writer/director Guin Turner.
     
  • 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.
     
  • During the Batman homage as Jay & Bob escape from La Fours, the belting attached to Kevin Smith slipped. The crane refused to start (someone had shut it off), and the key could not be located, nearly resulting in a possibly lethal fall.
     
  • The person laughing during the Gramercy title sequence is a cellist in Ira Newborn's orchestra.
     

Credits Fun:

  • Jay and Silent Bob will return in Chasing Amy
     
  • Thanks to Mom and Dad for having sex all those years ago
