clerks jennifer Randal Graves: People dictate their own behavior. ----- Dante Hicks: You get me slapped with a fine, you argue with the customers and I have to patch everything up, you get us thrown out of a funeral by violating the corpse, and then to top it off, you ruin my relationship. I mean, what's your encore? Do you, like, anally rape my mother while pouring sugar in my gas tank? ----- Dante Hicks: Theoretically, people see money on the counter, and no one around, they think they're being watched. Veronica: Honesty through paranoia. ----- Silent Bob: [T]here's a million fine looking women in the world, dude. But, they don't all bring you lasagna at work. Most of 'em just cheat on you. ----- Dante Hicks: I'm not even supposed to be here today. ----- Customer: Cute cat. What's its name? Randal Graves: Annoying customer. ----- Randal Graves: Salsa shark. We're gonna need a bigger boat. Man goes into cage, cage goes into salsa, shark's in the salsa. ----- Randal Graves: People say crazy shit during sex. One time I called this girl "Mom." ----- Randal Graves: Which did you like better? "Jedi" or "The Empire Strikes Back?" Dante Hicks: "Empire." Randal Graves: Blasphemy. Dante Hicks: "Empire" had the better ending. Luke gets his hand cut off, finds out Vader is his father, uh, Han gets frozen, taken away by Boba Fett. It ends on such a down note. I mean, that's what life is, a series of down endings. All "Jedi" had was a bunch of Muppets. ----- Randal Graves: There's nothing more exhilarating than pointing out the shortcomings of others, is there? ----- Randal Graves: I could do without the people in the video store. Dante Hicks: Which ones? Randal Graves: All of them. ----- Dante Hicks: I'm stuck in this pit, working for less than slave wages, working on my day off, the steel shutters are closed, I deal with every backward-assed fuck on the planet, I smell like shoe polish, my ex-girlfriend is catatonic after fucking a dead guy, and my present girlfriend has sucked thirty-six dicks. Randal Graves: Thirty-seven. ----- Dante Hicks: You hate people! Randal Graves: But, I love gatherings, isn't it ironic? ----- Caitlin Bree: I'm offering you my body, and you're offering me semantics. ----- Randal Graves: This job would be great if it wasn't for the fucking customers. ----- Caged Animal Masturbator: It's important to have a job that makes a difference, boys. That's why I manually masturbate caged animals for artificial insemination. ----- Dante Hicks: You ever notice that all the prices end in nine? Damn, that's eerie. ----- Randal Graves: She'll get over fuckin' a dead guy. Shit, my Mom's been fuckin' a dead guy for thirty years--I call him Dad. ----- Dante Hicks: My friend here is trying to convince me that any independent contractors who were working on the uncompleted Death Star, were innocent victims when they were destroyed by the Rebels. ----- Randal Graves: [C]aitlin, break his heart again this time, and I'll kill ya. Nothing personal. ----- Randal Graves: No time for love, Dr. Jones. ----- Randal Graves: I don't appreciate your ruse, ma'am. Indecisive Customer: I beg your pardon? Randal Graves: Your ruse. Your cunning attempt to trick me. ----- Randal Graves: You'd feel a Hell of a lot better if you'd just rip into the occasional customer. ----- Jay: Tonight, were gonna rip off this fucker's head, and take out his fcking soul. ----- Dante Hicks: [T]ry not to suck any dick on the way to the parking lot! ----- Randal Graves: I'm a firm believer in the philosophy of a ruling class. Especially since I rule. ----- Randal Graves: I know I'm your hero. thank you KS 000510 ... birdmad what? and no mention of "Cousin Walter??" 000510 ... jennifer see: mallrats more cousin walter stories there anyway 000510 ... manny from heaven a small gift for mr evers http://www.tinfoildreams.com/lunchbox/flclerks2.html 030914 ... nick Everytime I ever watched Clerks I thought I had more in common with Dante than anyone else I knew. His inability to take risks and make his own decisions is sickeningly self-destructive. ... every day... if I don't do something that I've been putting off, that day is a waste....
