Clerks Page #5

Synopsis: Dante Hicks is not having a good day. He works as a clerk in a small convenience store and is told to come into work on his day off. Dante thinks life is a series of down endings and this day is proving to no different. He reads in the newspaper that his ex-girlfriend Caitlin is getting married. His present girlfriend reveals to have somewhat more experience with sex that he ever imagined. His principal concerns are the hockey game he has that afternoon and the wake for a friend who died. His buddy Randal Graves works as a clerk in the video store next and he hates his job just about as much as Dante hates his.

ACTIVIST:

It's a picture of a cancer-ridden

lung. Keep it.

CUSTOMER:

(to DANTE)

I'll just take the gum.

DANTE:

Fifty-five.

ACTIVIST:

You've made a wise choice. Keep up

the good work.

The CUSTOMER exits.

DANTE:

Maybe you should take that coffee

outside.

ACTIVIST:

No, I think I'll drink it in here,

thanks.

DANTE:

If you're going to drink it in here,

I'd appreciate it if you'd not bother

the customers.

ACTIVIST:

Okay. I'm sorry about that.

Another CUSTOMER comes up to the counter.

CUSTOMER:

Pack of cigarettes.

(looks at model)

What's that?

ACTIVIST:

This? How long have you been smoking?

CUT TO:

EXT:
CONVENIENCE STORE. DAY

A blank wall. JAY steps into the frame, followed by SILENT

BOB. JAY pulls off his coat and swings it into the arms of

SILENT BOB. JAY then throws down with a makeshift slam dance,

spinning his arm and fake-hitting SILENT BOB.

JAY:

WE NEED SOME TITS AND ASS! YEAH!

SILENT BOB lights a smoke.

JAY:

I feel good today, Silent Bob. We're

gonna make some money! And then you

know what we're going to do? We're

going to go to that party and get

some p*ssy! I'm gonna f*** this b*tch,

that b*tch...

(Blue Velvet Hopper)

I'LL F*** ANYTHING THAT MOVES!

SILENT BOB points to something off-screen.

JAY:

(to O.C.)

What you looking at?! I'll kick your

f***ing ass!

(to SILENT BOB)

Doesn't that motherf***er still owe

me ten bucks?

Kevin Smith

Kevin Patrick Smith (born August 2, 1970) is an American filmmaker, actor, comedian, public speaker, comic book writer, author, and podcaster. He came to prominence with the low-budget comedy Clerks (1994), which he wrote, directed, co-produced, and acted in as the character Silent Bob of stoner duo "Jay & Silent Bob". Jay and Silent Bob have appeared in Smith's follow-up films Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Dogma, and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back which were mostly all set in his home state of New Jersey. While not strictly sequential, the films frequently featured crossover plot elements, character references, and a shared canon described by fans as the "View Askewniverse", named after his production company View Askew Productions, which he co-founded with Scott Mosier. more…
