    How did this movie do
    Budget: $6 Million
    Box Office: $2 Million


  • Extended Edition

  • Extended Scenes found in the collectors edition:

    • The extended cut contains over 30 minutes of additional footage and subplots.

    • An alternate opening scene, in which Mr. Svenning hosts a Ball for the Governor of New Jersey (played by Elizabeth Ashley). In this scene, T.S. (dressed as a colonial musketman), accidentally gets his musket tangled up in Brandi’s hair, then accidentally shoots at the Governor on the roof of a school, which ends up costing Mr. Svenning his reputation as well as a big pay raise. This explains the reason why Svenning shows an intense dislike for T.S. and why Brandi is so intent on breaking up with him. This scene also makes no mention of Julie Dwyer’s death, as the theatrical cut did. (That cut subplot was referenced in the final cut of the movie, where the TV execs mention to Svenning that they do not want a repeat of the Governor’s Ball).

    • A shot that shows the Quick Stop from Clerks.

    • A new subplot of Brodie showing intentions of wanting to be on television, which explains his surprised look during his appearance on Truth or Date.

    • An extended rant from Mr. Svenning, a result of T.S. letting it slip that he intended to propose to Brandi.

    • The scene where Mr. Svenning meets with Brodie before he has both Brodie and T.S. removed by LaFours has several restored lines and ends with more finger- and hand-licking of the melty pretzel chocolate by Mr. Svenning after the boys are removed.

    • A scene after Truth or Date in which Mr. Svenning demands to have T.S. and Brodie arrested, but instead he is the one who is arrested. It turns out that since Svenning was the producer of the show, he faces multiple FCC fines for Brodie’s antics.

    • An extended “Where are they now?” ending sequence, in which Mr. Svenning is shown at his job at the network as a janitor (along with his production assistant, still wearing his headset), and Shannon Hamilton is shown screaming after his rape in prison.

    • A scene that showed Tricia flirting and having sex with LaFours in order to distract him from catching Jay and Silent Bob. This explains the final segment in the ‘where are they now’ ending sequence, showing LaFours kissing Tricia during the book signing.
  • Sequel News

  • News on the sequel as of 6/17/2022:

    • On March 13, 2015, Kevin Smith confirmed that Mallrats 2 was being written and was slated to begin shooting in summer 2016.

    • In January 2020, Smith announced that development on a Mallrats sequel film has started up again, under a new title Twilight of the Mallrats.

    • On a recent Fan Club Q&A, Kevin Smith said there were three paths to getting the movie done.

      • First was through Universal, but they are currently focused on Fast and Furious sized movies and the folks there always forget they even own Mallrats.

      • Second, there is a Universal Video division. As of right now the film they believe will cost in the 7 – 8 million range to get done.  Universal Video has said they can film anything he wants but will have to deal with a 5 Million cap.  So right now that seems to be up in the air. 

      • Third possibility with Peacock (which is owned by Universal).  Kevin has stated that maybe after Clerks 3 they will pitch the Mallrats movie or 6 episode mini-series as a Peacock production.
  • Trivia

    • Kevin Smith’s friend Walter was the template for Brodie. Like Brodie, Walter has a comics vault, Walter has been known to carry a dixie cup around (sometimes for an entire day), Walter is a Sega freak. The only difference is Walter is married.

    • Kevin Smith jokingly apologized for making Mallrats at the Independent Spirit Awards. On his office’s answering machine after the movie’s poor showing in theaters, Lee recalled that Smith greeted callers by saying, “Hey, this is Kevin. We can’t get to the phone right now. We’re too busy licking our wounds.”

    • LaFours the security guard who wears the white straw cap is a reference to LaFours in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid who also always wears a white straw cap.

    • The character of Shannon Hamilton is meant to be an inside joke about Shannen Doherty. She was married very briefly to Ashley Hamilton so hence her name was (temporarily) Shannen Hamilton.

    • Note the Jaws reference – not the obvious marriage scene link – the main characters are called TS Quint and Brodie Bruce, compared to Quint and Brody from Jaws. The nickname for the shark on set was “Bruce”.

    • Brodie’s comic book collection seen in the movie was director Kevin Smith’s collection at the time (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 (1994).

    • The studio almost replaced Jason Mewes (Jay) with Seth Green. Kevin Smith insisted that Mewes should play Jay, but the studio made Smith take auditions for the role. Breckin Meyer also auditioned. In the end, all concerned agreed that Mewes was right for the part.

    • While shopping, Rene Mosier (Shannen Doherty) is seen wearing at least three different outfits. Doherty had a clause in her contract that stated she could keep everything her character wore, so she came up with the plan that her character would wear everything she bought.

    • Brodie’s shirt is the faces of all the actors that auditioned for the role of Brodie morphed together.

    • According to Kevin Smith, another actor auditioned for, and eventually received, the lead role of Brodie. On the first day of shooting his scenes, the unnamed actor “broke down”, and was unable to give the same performance that had earned him the role. The actor was then replaced by Jason Lee.

    • This is the second film in Kevin Smith’s intricately interconnected View Askewniverse series (the others being Clerks (1994), Chasing Amy (1997), Dogma (1999), Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (2001), Clerks II (2006) and Jay and Silent Bob Reboot (2019)). The movies are all linked by characters, themes, and events, and each contains numerous references to the others.

    • The only film by Kevin Smith that he did not edit himself, although he and Scott Mosier cut the extended version that’s on the Tenth Anniversary DVD.

    • The content of the dialogue between Quint and Brodie about whether Superman would be able to have sex and/or a baby with a non-superpowered woman, is taken from a classic 1971 essay by science fiction author Larry Niven called “Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex.”

    • Seth Green was on-call, ready at any moment to fly to Minnesota, so he could replace Jason Mewes as Jay.

    • The Wile E. Coyote-style blueprints used by Jay and Silent Bob were drawn by producer Scott Mosier.

    • During the Batman homage, as Jay and Silent 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 original beginning of the movie tested poorly and was replaced by one that was filmed in Los Angeles. The original beginning contained an incident at the Governor’s Ball (the one mentioned by the television executives).

    • Brodie is named after the main character in Jaws (1975) (a favorite film of Smith’s, and one that he frequently references in his work), while his surname, Bruce, was the nickname given to the animatronic shark in the Jaws film franchise.

    • While doing event appearances as Merle Dixon from AMC’s The Walking Dead, fans brought Michael Rooker (Mr. Svenning) bags of chocolate covered pretzels.

    • The end credits scene telling us the fate of each of the main characters is an homage to Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982), which also has many scenes that take place in a mall. Kevin Smith even made sure to use the same font and color for the graphics. Both films were cast by Don Phillips, who also cast Dazed and Confused (1993).

    • Studio executives required quite a bit of language to be removed or replaced with weaker language.

    • The song playing in the background, while the characters wait for the elevator, is the same one playing inside the elevator at the end of The Blues Brothers (1980).

    • When Brodie is trying to cut in line at the comic book store, and is being yelled at, the “fan boy” says, “Tell ’em, Steve Dave!” The man named Steve Dave yelling at Brodie is played by Bryan Johnson, and the fan boy is played by Walter Flanagan. This catchphrase was later used as the title of a podcast in which Johnson and Flanagan take part.

    • When Willam (Ethan Suplee) gets startled, he says “poopie trim”. This is a reference to an inside joke between Kevin Smith and script supervisor Carol Banker.

    • The pass that Mr. Svenning wears around his neck is the logo of View Askew, the film’s production company.

    • In Stan Lee’s cameo for Captain Marvel (2019), Carol Danvers finds Lee reading the script for this film rehearsing his lines.

    • The scene where backstage before the game show ran by Jared Svenning starts, Roddy yelled at T.S. and Brodie quoting “You called down the thunder, now you got it”! That’s the same line that was quoted by Wyatt Earp in Tombstone (1993). Kurt Russell played Wyatt Earp alongside Michael Rooker, who played Sherman McMasters. Rooker’s character was present when Russell quoted this line. The whole line is “All right, Clanton… you called down the thunder, well now you’ve got it! You see that? It says United States Marshal! Take a good look at him, Ike… ’cause that’s how you’re gonna end up! The Cowboys are finished, you understand? I see a red sash, I kill the man wearin’ it! So run, you cur… RUN! Tell all the other curs the law’s comin. You tell ’em I’M coming… and Hell’s coming with me, you hear?… Hell’s coming with me!”

    • Jason Lee and Ethan Suplee would both go on to star in My Name Is Earl (2005).

    • In the magic eye picture in the mall there is no sail boat, it’s a bunch of shapes.

    • Cameo – Stan Lee: Originally, Stan Lee was not going to have a cameo in the movie. Kevin Smith had written a fictional Stan Lee-type character, but through a connection, Stan Lee was asked to be in the movie and agreed.

    • Stan Lee initially didn’t want to be in the film. He felt the dialogue assigned to him wasn’t what he would personally say. Kevin Smith responded that it was just pretend, to which Lee replied, “Okay, Spider-Friend.”

    • 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

    • When Rene (Shannen Doherty) runs to tell Jay (Jason Mewes) and Silent Bob (Kevin Smith) that Brodie (Jason Lee) and T.S. (Jeremy London) are being arrested, Ethan Suplee (Willam) says, “Brenda?” – a joke reference to Doherty’s character on Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990). The exchange wasn’t in the script, but rather, Suplee was told to say this by Smith before the scene was shot, and so was Doherty. However, Suplee wasn’t told that she would respond, so his reaction is genuine.

    • Silent Bob has only one line in the entire movie, consisting of: “Adventure? Excitement? A Jedi craves not these things.” He had an additional line in the extended version, which was “There was never anything good to say before.”

Mallrats | October 20, 1995 (United States) Summary:
Countries: United StatesLanguages: English

Quotes

Stan Lee: You know, I think you ought to get him some help. He seems to be really hung up on super heroes' sex organs.


[first lines, Theatrical Version]

Brodie: [voice-over] One time my cousin Walter got this cat stuck up his ass. True story. He bought it at our local mall, so the whole fiasco wound up on the news. It was embarrassing for my relatives and all, but next week, he did it again. Different cat, same results, complete with another trip to the emergency room. So, I run into him a week later in the mall and he's buying another cat. And I says to him, "Jesus, Walt! What are you doing? You know you're just gonna get this cat stuck up your ass too. Why don't you knock it off?" And he said to me, "Brodie, how the hell else am I supposed to get the gerbil out?" My cousin was a weird guy.


Shannon Hamilton: You wanna say something?

Brodie: Yeah. About a million things, but I can't express myself monosyllabically enough for you to understand 'em all.


T.S. Quint: But they're engaged.

Brodie: Doesn't matter, it can't happen.

T.S. Quint: Why not? It's bound to come up.

Brodie: It's impossible. Lois could never have Superman's baby. Do you think her fallopian tubes could handle his sperm? I guarantee he blows a load like a shotgun right through her back. What about her womb? Do you think it's strong enough to carry his child?

T.S. Quint: Sure, why not?

Brodie: He's an alien, for Christ sake. His Kyrptonian biological makeup is enhanced by Earth's yellow sun. If Lois gets a tan, the kid could kick right through her stomach. Only someone like Wonder Woman has a strong enough uterus to carry his kid. The only way he could bang regular chicks is with a Kryptonite condom, but that would kill him.

T.S. Quint: How is it that I go from the verge of hot Floridian sex with Brandi to Man of Steel coital debates with you in the food court?

Brodie: Cookie stand isn't part of the food court.

T.S. Quint: Of course it is.

Brodie: The food court is downstairs. The cookie stand is upstairs. It not like we're talking quantum physics here.

T.S. Quint: The cookie stands counts as an eatery, eateries are part of the food court.

Brodie: Bullshit! Eateries that operate within the designated square downstairs qualify as food court. Anything outside, of said designated square, is considered an autonomous unit for mid-mall snacking. Now, if you're going to wax intellectual about the subject...


Brandi: Second suitor, would you ever make whoopie in public?

Brodie: I already did once today.

[clicks his finger at Renee]

Brodie: But my cousin Walter jerked off in public once. True story. He was on a plane to New Mexico when all of the sudden the hydraulics went. The plane started spinning around, going out of control, so he decides it's all over and whips it out and starts beating it right there. So all the other passengers take a cue from him and they start whipping it out and beating like mad. So all the passengers are beating off, plummeting to their certain doom, when all of the sudden, snap! The hydraulics kick back in. The plane rights itself and it land safely and everyone puts their pieces or, whatever, you know, away and deboard. No one mentions the phenomenon to anyone else.

Gil Hicks: [beat] Well, did he cum, or what?

Brodie: Jesus *Christ*, man! There's just some things you don't talk about in public!


Brodie: You're giving up? You? You used to be stand-up guy, what happened to him? The guy who punched Amanda Gross's mother after she called him "low class".

T.S. Quint: That wasn't me. It was you.

Brodie: Oh, yeah.

T.S. Quint: And it wasn't her mother, it was her grandmother.

Brodie: No wonder the bitch went down so fast.


[Jay and Silent Bob are hiding from La Fours]

Jay: Is he gone?

Brodie: Halfway to Buy Me Toys by now.

[they come out of hiding]

Jay: Man, that bastard's faster than Walt Flanagan's dog...


Brodie: I took you shopping all the time!

[Banging his hands against the elevator wall]

Rene: You took me where you went shopping, you jerk! You think I care what store in that shitpit dirt mall has the latest Godzilla bootlegs? Do you call eating pizza in the same dive pizzeria every night eating out? Do I give a shit when two major comic book labels are crossing over characters, selling two editions of the same book in varied-ink chromium covers? I'm a girl, damn it! I wanna do girly things! Like fix up someone's hair and get phone calls expressing romantic sentiments!


Brandi: Suitor number 3, is your kiss like a soft breeze, a firm handshake or a jackhammer?

Gil Hicks: Definitely a jackhammer, I'm in there with some pressure and when I'm done, you're not the same as before. You're changed.

Brodie: Where do you come up with this shit? That's the cheesiest response to an honest question I have ever heard. I saw you kiss and it wasn't anything like that.

Bob Summers: [Chuckling] Suitor #2, you'll have to wait until you're addressed before you respond.

Brodie: Richard Dawson, why don't you just go back to your podium until it's time to play The Feud. All right?

[Audience laughs]

Gil Hicks: Who the hell did you see me kiss?

Brodie: Some dude backstage. I don't know who he was but he seemed unimpressed.

Gil Hicks: I didn't kiss any guy backstage. I swear. I'm not gay.

Brodie: Hey, Suitorette, this guys a homophobe. You heard how repulsed he sounded. Is this the kind of guy you want to spend a vacation with? This hate-monger?

Gil Hicks: I don't hate gay people.

Brodie: So you love them?

Gil Hicks: Yes. I mean no.

Brodie: Textbook closet case self-loather. Can't be comfortable with his own sexuality.


[At a Dating Game-like game show]

Brandi: Second suitor: if we were making whoopee, what sounds would you make?

Brodie: Wait, what's whoopee?

Brandi: You know, being intimate.

Brodie: What? Like fucking?


[the videotape of Shannon back-dooring Trica is playing on the big screen, with cheesy 70s porno music in background]

Shannon Hamilton: Yeah, who's your favourite New Kid. Yeah, call me Joey. Oh, come on. Don't make me get loose. Yeah, that's right. Call me Donnie. Oh, girl. Oh, please don't go girl.

Jay: Goddamn. This is one wacky game show.

Brodie: [to the cops] Hey! That girl's only 15!

[cops focus their attention on Shannon]

Shannon Hamilton: Ah, 15. I thought she was 36!

[cops are approaching him]

Shannon Hamilton: Come on, guys. Tell me you wouldn't have popped her.


[after hitting La Fours over the head with a baseball bat]

Jay: Come son of Jor-El, kneel before Zod! Snootchie-bootchies. Ehehehehe!


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.


Jay: [as Silent Bob is 'flying' across the mall towards the stage] Fly, Fatass, fly!


Little Girl: [looking at a Magic Eye poster] Wow. It's a schooner.

Willam Black: Ha ha ha ha. You dumb bastard. It's not a schooner... it's a Sailboat.

Little Boy: A schooner IS a sailboat stupid head!

Willam Black: [becoming enraged] You know what? There is NO Easter Bunny! Over there, that's just a guy in a suit!


Jay: Shit, bitch, we're gonna bust up that stage like a high school kegger. We're just gonna outwit Lafours, X-Men style.

Brodie: Should I call you Logan, Weapon-X?

Jay: No, *Wolverine*! Shnickty shnickty shnoine!

Brodie: See, what he's doing is imitating Wolverine's berserker attack with his adamantium claws.

T.S. Quint: I never would have guessed.


Jay: [to Willam, who's struggling to see a Sailboat in the Magic-Eye picture] What you need is a fatty-boom-batty blunt! And I guarantee you'll be seeing a sailboat, an ocean, and maybe even some of those big-tittied mermaids doing some of that lesbian shit! Look at me, look at me, you sloppy bitch!


Brodie: That kid is *back*... on the escalator again!


Shannon Hamilton: That's it. You're dead, mallrat! I'm gonna fuck you up beyond repair!

Brodie: Ladies and gentlemen, this tall drink of water headed my way is a pillar of the shopping community who informed me earlier today of a nefarious plan of his to screw my girlfriend in an extremely uncomfortable place.

Gil Hicks: What... like the back of a Volkswagen?


Gwen: How is it that you recall the most trivial events?

Brodie: I'll never forget it. How many times do you get to see Smokey fuck the Bandit?

Gwen: Didn't I look just like Burt Reynolds?

BrodieT.S. Quint: Except for the moustache.


Brodie: Why don't they ever bring back or remake good shows, like 'BJ and the Bear.' Now there's a concept I can't get enough of, a man and his monkey.


Rene: That was too little too late.

Brodie: Too little? You said it was a good size!

Rene: The effort, you retard. The effort was too little too late.

[pause]

Rene: But, now that you mention it, when a girl says its a good size, that's a nice way of saying that it's small.

Brodie: Hey!


Brandi: If we were making whoopee, what kind of noises would you make?

Brodie: [Making a 'doggy style' motion with his hand] Rrrruff... rr... rruff...

Brodie: [Looks over at TS] You know, that's kind of a personal question, I don't think I should answer that.


Willam Black: Brenda?

Rene: [hitting him] DICK!


Brodie: After all he's done to you, you should still kinda stick it to him.

T.S. Quint: How do you propose I do that?

Brodie: You stinkpalm him.

T.S. Quint: Stinkpalm?

Brodie: You take your hand and stick it in your ass like this. You been walkin' all day and you're nervous, so no doubt you'll be sweaty as hell.

T.S. Quint: You should see yourself right now, a grown man with his hand down his pants.

Brodie: Yeah i probably look like my old man. So you shake hands with the guy, "Hello Mr. Svenning how have you been?"

T.S. Quint: Whats the point?

Brodie: You know how long it takes for that smell to come off? Scrub all you want, it'll stick around for at least two days. How does he explain it to his colleagues and family? They'll think he doesn't know how to wipe his ass properly.

T.S. Quint: Meanwhile you yourself are left with a hand that smells like shit.

Brodie: Small price to pay for the smiting of one's enemies.


Silent Bob: Adventure, excitement... a Jedi craves not these things.

[c.f.]

Silent Bob: [link=tt0080684] ]


[beating up the Easter Bunny]

Jay: This is for Brodie!


Bob Summers: Our first suitor goes to Marymount College where he majors in economics. Say hi to Doug Paging!

Jay: DO IT DOUG!


Brodie: My Grandmother always used to say "why buy the cow, when you can get the sex for free".

T.S. Quint: She didn't!

Brodie: All the time, before she became a lesbian on her 60th Birthday, but that's besides the point.


Brodie: You fuckers think just because a guy reads comics he can't start some shit?


Brodie: I love the smell of commerce in the morning.


[Jay explains the details of Operation Dark Knight to Silent Bob]

Jay: Okay Lunchbox, let's try this again. We tie you to the roof and you jump off and sail like a Spitfire passing right over the arch nemesis La Fours. You then swing up to the stage and knock out the pin. And when that's gone the stage is trashed and we go smoke a bowl. You got it? Now get your fat ass up there. And dude, don't forget your helmet. Snoogens.


Brodie: Say, would you like a chocolate covered pretzel? They're a little melty but damn are they exquisite.


Jay: You're fucking kidding me! The Easter bunny did this?

Brodie: All I said was that the Easter bunny at the Menlo Park mall was more convincing and he just jumped the railing and knocked me down.

Jay: He's fucking dead!

Brodie: Oh let it go, he's under a lot of pressure.

[T.S. and Gwen approach them]

T.S. Quint: What the hell happened?

Jay: The guy in the Easter bunny suit kicked his ass.

Brodie: I had it coming.

Jay: [to Silent Bob] Fuck all that shit! Come on, Silent Bob.

[Jay and Silent Bob leave]

T.S. Quint: What really happened?

Brodie: The proprietor of Fashionable Male beat a raincheck into my stomach.

Gwen: Shannon Hamilton?

T.S. Quint: You know that guy?

Gwen: I went out with him once after we dated. He tried to screw me some place very uncomfortable.

T.S. Quint: What? Like the back of a Volkswagen?

Brodie: Sounds like his M.O.


Jay: Bye baby kitties. Damn Silent Bob, show some heart.


Brandi: Suitor number one. If we fell in love, how would you propose to me?

Brodie: [aside] When Jaws popped out of the water...

TS Quint: [T.S. elbows Brodie to shut up] I propose to you right now. I propose that you stop letting your father run your life, make up your own mind and not give up on someone you know has value.

Brandi: What?

TS Quint: Hypothetically speaking.

Brandi: Suitor number one, you sound familiar.


[Brodie picks up a controller and continues a paused video game]

Rene: 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, Rene, but Hartford, "the Whale," they only beat Vancouver once, maybe twice in a lifetime.


Brodie: You have my Punisher War Journal #6, my copy of "Fletch" and the remote control to my TV. Now, I know it's going to be hard to give this stuff up because of it's sentimental attachment...

Rene: Sentimental attachment? Look, if I have any of that crap it's because you brought it over my house and left it there.

Brodie: Okay, then let's talk about coming up with a schedule for visitation rights.

Rene: For what?

Brodie: For the mall. I figure you can take the odd days, I'll take the even days and weekends. When there's any special feature like a sidewalk sale...

Rene: [interrupting] Brodie, Brodie...

Brodie: ...or a boat show...

Rene: [interrupting] 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 said okay. On prom night at the hotel when you told me to sleep under the bed in case your mother burst in, I did it. 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.

Rene: [Grabs Brodie by the ear] 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!


Brandi: [calm and nefarious tone] Second Suitor? If you were a comic book character, what character would you be?

Brodie: [caught off guard, but delighted] Wow! That's a great question. Tough one, though I mean, what does one gauge his response on? Physical prowess? Keen detection skills? The ability to banter well with super villians?

Brandi: [interupting] How's your comic book collection, Brodie?

Brodie: Oh it's goin' good. But, I mean...

Brodie: [T.S. punches Brodie's arm and shows an angry look, realizing they have been made] Oh, comics? what are you talkin' about lady? I don't collect comics! Comics are for kids!


Shannon Hamilton: You're sure you saw her get on?

T.S. Quint: Maybe she was getting off...


T.S. Quint: Maybe he's calmed down, we'll talk about it reasonably.

Brodie: Reasonably shmeasonably, you should go over there and give him shit.


Jay: Where do you get these wonderful toys?

[c.f.]

Jay: [link=tt0096895] ]


[Trying on lace panties overtop of his jeans]

Brodie: I would've made a sexy chick!


Brandi: Suitor Number Three, what would our first date be like?

Gil Hicks: Well, uh, first I'd take you shopping to stores you wanna shop in, and then we'd do a little lunch, probably at the Cheese Haus, followed by some golfing. And then at night, we'd take in an opera, probably Die Fledermaus, and then I'd follow it up with a drive to a secluded beach where I'd pop on the radio and we could slow-dance till the sun came up.

Brodie: That was the biggest load of crap I've ever heard! I mean, look at you. You're the kind of guy who would beg for sex. And I should know, we can smell our own.


T.S. Quint: How easily do you quit? Say you wind up with one of us?

Brodie: Hopefully not Rush Limbaugh over here.

Gil Hicks: Well, now, I'm not like Rush Limbaugh.

Brodie: Well, why not? Because he's fat? Now you have something against fat people, too?


Jay: Silent Bob here's an electrical genius. He won the science fair in eighth grade by turning his mom's vibrator into a CD player using some chicken wire and shit. The mother fucker's like MacGyver. No, the mother fucker's *better than* MacGyver.


[Jay is reading a Hustler. He shows a spread to Silent Bob]

Jay: Dude, this one looks like your mom.

[Silent Bob nods]


T.S. Quint: How much did you smoke?

Jay: All it took was a phat, chronic blunt. These guys were lightweights.

T.S. Quint: How much do I owe you?

Jay: My treat. As long as you promise that the next time you pop your old lady, you make her call you "Jay." Snootchie Bootchies.

T.S. Quint: Let's hope there is a next time.


[Brodie is trying to get into the comic book store]

Brodie: Hey, what's going on in there?

Steve-Dave Pulasti: I was warned about you. Take it easy before I have you removed from the mall.

Brodie: Warned? What the fuck are you talking about?

Walt "Fanboy" Grover: Tell him, Steve-Dave!

Brodie: Fuck you, Fanboy!

T.S. Quint: [breaking up the fight] When you two testosterone-seething, he-man, comic book fans finish up with this display of tough guy back-and-forth? I have some questions that need answering.


T.S. Quint: I was going to propose to her.

Brodie: Where?

T.S. Quint: The Universal Tour.

Brodie: You're kidding. What part?

T.S. Quint: When Jaws popped out of the water.

Brodie: That's the most romantic thing I've ever heard.

T.S. Quint: Too bad I'm not trying to marry you.


Tricia Jones: I heard that you were going to propose to Brandi Svenning at some theme park. When are men going to learn that women want ROMANCE, not Mr. Toad's Wild Ride...

Brodie: Be fair. EVERYONE wants Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.


Brodie: You're going to listen to *me*? To something that *I* said? Hell, most of the time I'm just talking out of my ass... or sticking my hand in it.


T.S. Quint: Haven't you ever heard the phrase "The customer is always right?"

Shannon Hamilton: Let me tell you something. Let me give you a little secret, okay.

[yells it right in T.S.' ear]

Shannon Hamilton: The customer is always an asshole!


T.S. Quint: [to Jay and Silent Bob] You two up for getting stoned?

Jay: Look who you're asking!


Brodie: You know about this game show they got goin' on here? We need you guys to somehow ensure that it doesn't happen.

Jay: Is that it? We were gonna do that anyway.

Brodie: Really? Why?

Jay: What else are we gonna do?


Stan Lee: They look happy, don't they?

Brodie: What, the bras?


T.S. Quint: [reading the break-up letter that Renee gave Brodie] Woah, she calls you "callow" in here.

Brodie: You say that like it's bad.

T.S. Quint: It means frightened and weak-willed.

Brodie: Really? Shit. That was the only part of the letter I thought was complimentary.


Brodie: How much longer are we gonna be in this chick store? I'm starting to get a mean hard-on.


T.S. Quint: I never noticed it before, but she really fuels your engine. I don't know, you have this new like glow about you or something

Brodie: I don't have a glow.

T.S. Quint: Yeah, you do. You're glowing.

Brodie: Look, if I had any kind of glow it's because I just got laid. I would look the same had I banged *anyone* in that elevator - present company excluded.

T.S. Quint: Look, deny it all you want. I think that you're too proud to admit that you want her back.

Brodie: I suddenly want something very bad to happen to you.

T.S. Quint: What's your problem. I don't understand...

[Gwen arrives and TS accidentally elbows her in the chest]

T.S. Quint: Oh, Gwen, I'm sorry.

Gwen: Oh, you fucker!

[Gwen punches TS in the groin, TS falls to the ground]

Brodie: See, that's what you get for fucking with me.


Brodie: Jesus Christ! What the hell gives with the cover boy?

Rene: None of your business, but he'll kick your ass if he knows what you just pulled.

Brodie: Are you insane? The guy looks like a date rapist! Is that my jacket?

Rene: Start the elevator.

Brodie: Not until you tell me what the situation is with you and the Sperminator out there! How long has this been going on?

Rene: Since I mustered the good sense to send you packing. He's a much more suitable companion than you any day.

Brodie: Are you nuts? The guy's pure testosterone! He's a walking hard-on just looking for a hole!


Brodie: I call you all time!

Rene: "Rene, my mom's asleep. Come over." You call that romantic? When was the last time you pulled out my chair, or told me I was beautiful?

Brodie: And this guy does all this in a day?

Rene: This guy already introduced me to his mother.

Brodie: Really?


Brandi: When I walked away, did you make any effort to repair that breach? No, you ran off and cried on the shoulder of Bumble the Boy Wonder over there.

Brodie: Boy Wonder? Hey, I'm all man, lady!


T.S. Quint: Why do palm reading topless?

Brodie: It makes the news easier to take. She could tell me I was going to die in ten minutes, just as long as she told me topless.

T.S. Quint: Your maleness amazes me sometimes.

Brodie: What can I say ? I love tits.


Brodie: [about Rene] I threw her away like a parking ticket.


Stan Lee: [passes by magic eye picture stops] Oh, a sailboat.

[Pats William on the back and walks off]

Willam Black: Aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!

[Runs and kicks the picture over]


Willam Black: When Lord? When the hell do I get to see the goddamn sailboat?


Tricia Jones: I get everybody's consent before we do it. Most guys get off on it. Men are easily amused.


Gwen: Why are you glowing?

Brodie: I'm *not* glowing!


[Upon meeting Stan Lee]

Brodie: The Thing! Is his dork made out of orange rock like the rest of his body?

Stan Lee: I don't know. It's a superhero secret.


Stan Lee: [Remarking on a happy couple in a store window] They look happy don't they?

Brodie: I suppose, as far as couples go.

Stan Lee: You know, it reminds me of an issue of Spider-man I did. When Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy went lingerie shopping. Of course, the Green Goblin showed up, and he pumpkin-bombed the hell out of the place. But aside from that, it's pretty much the same thing.

Brodie: Oh, my god... *holy shit*! Aren't you...

Stan Lee: Oh, Stan Lee, hi.


Brandi: Suitor #2...

Gil Hicks: Hey, what about me?

Brodie: Aw Gil, just shut the fuck up!


Brodie: Hell hath no fury like a woman's scorn for Sega.


Brodie: Brandi is the past my friend. You face forward, or you face the possibility of shock and damage.

[Brodie gets knocked down by a metal beam]

T.S. Quint: You should learn to heed your own advice.

Brodie: Where the hell did that come from? What's going on here?

T.S. Quint: Looks like a stage is being erected.

Brodie: What is this monstrosity?

T.S. Quint: Maybe it's for the Easter Bunny pictures.

Brodie: Impossible, the Easter Bunny Court is down at the other end of the mall, it's been there since two days after Christmas. I want answers!


Brodie: You've probably had a slew of women since her, am I right?

Stan Lee: Oh, lots of women. Jagger and me, we had a running contest to see who had the most. In fact, last time I checked I was way ahead.

Brodie: DAMN that's hot!


[Brodie introduces Tricia to T.S]

Brodie: T.S. Quint, meet Tricia Jones. They call her "Trish the Dish."

Tricia Jones: [Shaking T.S's hand] Nobody calls me that.


[Brodie Bruce speaking of T.S. and Brandi's love]

Brodie: I'm tired of this whole thing! You're both retarded for each other.


T.S. Quint: You should see yourself right now - a grown man with his hand down his pants.

Brodie: Yeah, I probably look like my old man.


[Jay explains the details of Operation Drive By to Silent Bob]

Jay: Phase one: First you take a run at La Fours with a sock full of quarters. I'd do it, but I pulled my back at humping your mom last night. Nootch! Okay, you clock him on his headpiece and knock his ass out cold. That's when phase two kicks in. I attack the structure Wolvie Berzerk style, and knock out the fuckin' pin and bickety bam, the motherfucker is rubble. Hence, no game show.


Jay: Dude, you'se a mad chick magnet.


Brodie: Hey, look at that ring. What is that?

Jared Svenning: That is, um, my Junior College class ring. Cum Laude, '69.

Brodie: I also hope to cum loud one day, preferably in a 69.


[about the break-up letter from Renee]

Brodie: Yeah, and she also said I had no dick. Which precedes the financial question, proving once more what women really look for.


Ivannah: Free your minds.

Brodie: I'd like to free something...


Jay: [after Silent Bob 'moves' a videotape with his mind] The Jedi mind trick! Holy shit, motherfuckin' Yoda and shit!


Jared Svenning: Once I realized the both of you were in the mall together, I decided to set up this little ambush to remove you and your sidekick here from the premises, permanently.

Brodie: Hey, why am I his side-kick? How do you know he's not *my* side-kick?


Brodie: You know how when someone lays with their back to you, and you lay behind them really close and you throw one arm over them?

T.S. Quint: It's called spooning.

Brodie: Yeah, but you gotta put the other arm somewhere. You can either lay on it or shove it between your bodies. The only other option is to stretch it above your head. But sometimes my arm pops out of socket when I'm sleeping like that. So I was constantly searching for someplace to keep my arm while still laying close to her.

Gwen: And?

Brodie: What do you mean, 'and'? That's like a metaphor for our whole relationship. I'm all out. I'll meet you at the food court.

Saleslady at Lingerie Store: [crying] I know exactly how he feels. Excuse me.


Brodie: [about to get beaten up by Shannon] Want a sip of my soda?


Brodie: You used to like tits too.

T.S. Quint: Hey, I love tits as much as the next guy, but why should I pay some old hag good money for some supernatural chicanery coupled with a pair of sagging wrinkled weathered boobs?


Gwen: Tell me about the elevator.

Brodie: It goes up-and-down. Ba-dump-tsss.


[Thinking Rene is at the door]

Brodie: You're a fickle broad...


Jay: [Referring to Silent Bob] Human brown-eye here's a walking calamity. We're going to have to pass on this stage trashing business, otherwise he's liable to kill himself.


Ivannah: It's the third nipple that does it.

T.S. Quint: Oh, you have a third nipple? I didn't notice.

Brodie: What are you *talking about*? It's as clear as day! Look at it for god's sake!

Ivannah: You can stare at it. I don't mind.


Brodie: [Looking at comics] These should have boards in them. Bloody savage.


T.S. Quint: That is one of your more admirably deplorable traits. You, unlike me, would beat up somebody's grandmother or an entire senior citizens' community if you believed in the principle.

Brodie: Yeah, but only if they were really old.


Brodie: Hey, you know where you're going, they screw people in a very uncomfortable place.

Shannon: Really?

Brodie: Yeah.

Arresting Cop #2: Hey, hey! You can't strike a prisoner in police custody.

Brodie: Oh, come on. Just once?

Arresting Cop #2: All right, but make it fast.

[punches Shannon in his stomach]


Brodie: [referring to the sex tape of Shannon with 15-year old Trish] Did you see that shit? You call that romance?

Rene: I call that illegal.


Gil Hicks: Something's going on here. Where's Mr. Svenning?

Roddy: [enters] Mr. Svenning has come down with a sudden case of diptheria.

[looks down at the two guys on the floor]

Roddy: What happened to these two?

Jay: The homeboys got a case of the mad munchies!

Gil Hicks: [points to T.S] Hey, Roddy Roddy, isn't this the guy that Svenning had arrested?

Roddy: Why yes it is. All right Quint, I don't know how you got back in here, but we're postponing the start of the show until I call Mr. Svenning. You've brought down the fire, well now you've got it! Security!

Brodie: Hey, Roddy!

[Brody puches Roddy out]

Security Guard: [enters] Somebody call security? What happened here?

Brodie: Oh, these two guys got stonned and knocked this guy out. I think he needs medical attention.

Gil Hicks: That's not what happ...

[Brody stomps on Gil's foot, silencing him]

T.S. Quint: Yeah, could you get him and these two guys out of here? The show's about to start.

Security Guard: Whatever.

Brodie: [to Gil] Look asshole, just go out there with us and behave, and you'll be just fine.

[to Jay]

Brodie: Jay, when Tricia shows up here with a video tape, you give it to Silent Bob.

Jay: Check. Say, where is that tubby bitch?


[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?


Brodie: Tell me, did you ever fart in front of her?

T.S. Quint: No, why do you ask?

Brodie: I never farted in front of Renee. Not once. Last week, I let one slip and today she dumps me.

T.S. Quint: You think that's why Renee dumped you? Come on, she's not the shallow type. You're not insinuating...

Brodie: She was going down on me at the time.

T.S. Quint: [Retches]

Brodie: What can I say, I was feeling very relaxed, when I'm relaxed I squirt.

T.S. Quint: If all she did was dump you, you got off light.


Brodie: The usual vault rules apply: Touch not, lest ye be touched.

T.S. Quint: You're such an anal retentive bastard.

Brodie: Hey, I tried to teach you how to handle comics in the sixth grade, but oh no. You wanted to play little league instead.


Jay: Silent Bob stole the schematics from some foolish carpenter and found a weakness just like the fucking Death Star. You knock this crossbeam out and, fuckin' bickety-bam, the whole stage comes crashing down.

Brodie: Well we were thinking of something simple, but hey, if you want to destroy the stage, we're all for that.


[subtitle, "William eventually saw the sailboat."]

Willam Black: Yeah?


Brodie: There is something out there that can help us ease our simultanious double loss.

T.S. Quint: What? Ritual suicide?

Brodie: No, you idiot, the fucking mall!

T.S. Quint: I'd prefer ritual suicide.

Brodie: Oh come on man it'll be great. They have these new cookies at the cookie stand, you have to try 'em. They're awesome.


[Silent Bob is trying to levitate a cigarette]

T.S. Quint: What's he doing?

Jay: Shithead here watched Empire and Jedi last week and ever since then, he's been trying to do the Jedi mind trick. The crazy fuck thinks he can levitate shit with his thoughts.

[slaps the cigarette out of Silent Bob's hand]

Jay: Knock it off!

Brodie: [to Silent Bob] The force is strong with this one.

Jay: Dude, don't encourage him.


Shannon Hamilton: Smart-ass ex-boyfriend! I've got two things to tell you. One: I don't like you. I see you every week in this mall. I don't like you shiftless layabouts. You're one of those loser fucking mallrat kids. You don't come to the mall to shop or work. You hang out all day, act like you fucking live here. Well, I have no respect for people with no shopping agenda.

Brodie: Is this what's known as motivated salesmanship?

[Shannon Hamilton beats up Brodie]

Shannon Hamilton: Rene told me to leave you alone, but she's fucking clueless. The newly single always feel a bit protective of the ex-boyfriend.

Brodie: If this is her idea of protective, I'd hate to have her mad at me.

Shannon Hamilton: You see, Bruce, I like to pick up girls on the rebound from a disappointing relationship. They're much more in need of solace and they're fairly open to suggestion. And, I use that to fuck them some place very uncomfortable.

Brodie: What, like the back of a Volkswagen?

Shannon Hamilton: No. More like someplace girls dread.

[Brodie tries to take a poke at Shannon, Shannons gives him another beat-down]


T.S. Quint: I got to hit the bathroom.

Brodie: PLEASE. Don't say "hit".


[about the indoor flea market]

Brodie: Come on, this is the dirt mall. Cops don't come here.

T.S. Quint: Neither does any self-respecting consumer.


Rene: [about why she cries in the bathroom] Do you really wanna know?

Brodie: I asked, didn't I? I'm playing the role; the concerned guy.


Ivannah: Fucussa.

Brodie: That's what I was thinking.

T.S. Quint: She said 'focus'.

Brodie: Whatever.


T.S. Quint: We slept together one time, do you remember, that ski trip?

Gwen: That was you?


Brodie: Hey Hamilton! Let's try and wrap this up, alright? I promised her breakfast!


Brodie: Little Trisha here is only fifteen, but somehow she's a senior.

T.S. Quint: How did you manage that?

Brodie: [Makes sucking noises]

Tricia Jones: Don't listen to him. I studied my ass off.

Brodie: Yeah, right. So what do you say? You wanna nail T.S. Or what?

T.S. Quint: Jesus, Brodie!


Brodie: Hey guys, you'll never guess who I just met.

[looks at the two suitors on the floor off camera]

Brodie: What happened to these two?

Jay: Power of the dark side.

T.S. Quint: Wait a minute. There's only two. There's supposed to be three! What happened to the third guy?

Jay: I never saw a third guy.

[Gil enters and looks down at the two on the floor; both he and Brodie take an instant dislike to each other]

Gil Hicks: What happened to these two?

T.S. Quint: Um... they got light headed.

Jay: You got that right.

Gil Hicks: So, what's going to happen now? They going to cancel the show?

Brodie: What do you care, asshole?

Gil Hicks: I'm supposed to be on it. I'm Gil Hicks, Suitor Number Three.

T.S. Quint: We're gonna take their places. Hi. I'm T.S. Quint, this is my friend Brodie Bruce.

Gil Hicks: Hey, didn't Svenning have you arrested?

Brodie: [belligerent] Look man, don't give him any shit!


[End credits reveal that Shannon Hamilton made a lot of new friends in Rahway State Correctional Facility]

Shannon: ARRRRRRRGH!


Rene: I think about people that make decisions that affect our lives. The doctors who make advancements in curing diseases. The engineer that designs skyscrapers. The guy that maps out a plane's flight path.

Brodie: The navigator.

Rene: I think about how those people are out there everyday, Making a difference, leading big lives, And how they refuse to be intimidated by the tremendous odds of failure they face; And how they only concern themselves with peers and company that apply to their goals and noble causes.

Brodie: Jesus, I'd hate to tell you what I think about in the bathroom.

Rene: I think about all that, and I cry. Because I have nothing better to do than fuck you.


T.S. Quint: How do I do that?


Gil Hicks: Hey, do I get a chance to field any more questions?

T.S. QuintBrandi: [in unison] NO!


Brodie: Holy shit. I never thought I'd see the day when two such highly reputable mischief makers, as yourselves, douse their drawers at the sight of a mall security guard.


T.S. Quint: That's Brandi's father's game show.

Brodie: What is it?

T.S. Quint: Well, it's this cheesy dating game rip-off thing. It's supposed to be for college kids. It's just trying to capture the 90s youth market with a staple of 70s television.


Brodie: You want I should tell my mother what we do in here at night?

Rene: What? That you play video games and I fall asleep unfulfilled? Go ahead.


Rene: I've never met a person who lives in as much fear of his mother as you do.


Brodie: Little Tricia Jones. What's a pretty girl like you doing sittin' alone in the middle of this monument to consumerism?


Brodie: Our little Tricia here is only 15, but somehow She's a Senior.

T.S. Quint: How'd you manage that ?

[Brodie imitates giving a BJ]

Tricia Jones: Don't listen to him. I studied my ass off.

Brodie: Yeah, right. So, what do you say? You wanna nail T.S. or what ?

T.S. Quint: Jesus, Brodie!

Brodie: Calm down. Tricia's compiling data for this book she's writing about the sex drive of men, ages 14 to 30. If I remember correctly, it's titled: Bore-gasm: Study of the Nineties' Male Sexual Prowess. Ready to get sick? Tell him about the advance you got.

Tricia Jones: Pendant Publishing gave me $20,000 based on a treatment and a sample chapter.

T.S. Quint: You're kidding.

Brodie: It's true. She'll be the youngest author to tackle the subject. So, Tricia here sleeps with a bunch of guys as research. And if that's not enough, get this, she videotapes all of them.

T.S. Quint: What?

Tricia Jones: I get everybody's consent before we do it. Most guys get off on it. Men are easily amused.


Jared Svenning: Guard, come here. Get this guy off my set. If he gives you any shit, you have my permission to castrate him.


Rene: Didn't I dump your ass this morning?

Brodie: Look, I know you've had some time to think about the mistake you've made, And I just wanna let you know you don't have to apologize. I'm sure you were just PMSing or something.

Rene: Brodie, what kills me about you is your inability to function on the same plane of existence as the rest of us. Piss off.


Rene: He was up and at work by 9:00 this morning, unlike my ex-boyfriend who would sleep until one; because, all he did was play Sega and watch videos all night long - which, by the way, has an enormous effect on your libido.

Brodie: Oh, now you attack my libido?

Rene: There's no libido to attack.

Brodie: "No libido to attack?"

[Brodie attacks]


Brodie: Let's do the list. Spiderman?

Stan Lee: Guilty.

Brodie: The Incredible Hulk?

Stan Lee: 'Fraid so.

Brodie: Oh, man, this is so cool. The X-Men?

Stan Lee: Now that you mention it.

Brodie: Shit, man - you are a god!


Rene: What can I say? I love the retard.


Brandi: Gwen, you were always cheating on him.

Gwen: Capricious youth. Doesn't mean I wasn't regretful about it.
