--->'''Dante:''' I can't believe you. I finally get my shit together, I'm hours from getting out of here and really starting my life, and you somehow figure out a way to obliterate all that and reduce me to a convict.
--->'''Randal:''' [[NeverMyFault Oh, yeah, it's my fault your life's fucked up.]] [[WhatTheHellHero I'm the engaged guy who knocked up my boss]].
---> '''Jay:''' [[ComicallymissingThePoint You knocked up the guy who owns Mooby's? Ew]].
--->'''Randal:''' [[ActuallyPrettyFunny (chuckles) What?]]
--->'''Dante:''' Would you shut up? (to Randal) You're chaos incarnate, man. Our whole lives, you've been getting me into trouble and holding me back.
--->'''Randal:''' Oh, I'm holding you back, right? [[CallBack I remember, like, ten years ago, the night we went to Julie Dwyer's funeral, you were all like, "I need to shit or get off the pot."]]
--->'''Dante:''' YOU said "shit or get off the pot", not me.
--->'''Randal:''' You got all fired up about taking charge of your life, and what'd you do? You worked at the store till the place burned down.
--->'''Dante:''' I took courses at Brookdale!
--->'''Randal:''' And dropped out.
--->'''Dante:''' Because you stopped going!
--->'''Randal:''' We were just killing time with those classes. One semester, we took Criminology, for Christ's sake. What the fuck were we training to be, Batman?
--->'''Dante:''' At least we were doing something instead of wasting our lives in some fucking convenience store!
--->'''Randal:''' You know what? You can badmouth Quick Stop all you want, but I miss that place. I loved working there. I look back on that period as the best time in my life.
--->'''Dante:''' [[ShutUpKirk Now I know you're fuckin' nuts]].
--->'''Randal:''' Why? Because I enjoyed what I did? I got to watch movies, fuck with assholes, and hang out with my best friend all day. Can you think of a better way to make a living? Yeah, maybe it's not what everyone does, but it was pretty fucking good. (laughs)
--->'''Dante:''' Man, that's you all over. Scrape by with the bare minimum. Well, I'm tired of that, Randal. I'm not in high school anymore. Shit, I'm not even in my twenties anymore. I don't want to sit around and rag on customers while eating free food. That's what you want to do. That's what you've always wanted to do. Well, if that's all you want out of life, man, then God bless, but I refuse to let your shit taint the rest of mine. No. I'm gonna smooth things over with Emma, go to Florida and start my Randal Graves-free existence. And try to forget these last thirty-three years ever happened.
--->'''Randal:''' So that's the why you see all this time we've spent together? That's weird, man. I though you were the only guy in the world who got me and had my back... the only person who'd take a bullet for me, 'cause I assumed [[HeterosexualLifePartners you felt the same way I feel about you]]. Then, all of a sudden, one day, you're like, "I'm moving. Bye." Do you know what that's been like for me? I'm looking at a future that just sucks, because you're not gonna be in it anymore. And you're not even throwing me over for a life that means something to you. It's just a stupid, hollow existence you think you should embrace because you're getting old or something, because it's the kind of life everyone else goes after. You're a fucking drone, dude.
--->'''Dante:''' Fine. [[SarcasmMode Then the next friend whose life you ruin can be a ''totally'' free spirit!]] How's that?
--->'''Randal:''' Do you think I ''want'' to make friends at my age? Christ. Who would want me as their friend? I hate everyone, and everything seems stupid to me, but you were always the counterbalance to that... the guy who was the yin to my yang. But now what the fuck am I gonna do for the rest of my life? I mean, shit, really wish you would've told me this when I first met you, that one day you were gonna bail on our friendship, because if I had known you were just gonna flake on me a few decades later... I wouldn't have bothered with your ass in the first place.
--->'''Jay:''' Jesus, why don't you two just fuck and get it over with already? (muttering) [[PoliticallyIncorrectHero Faggots]].
--->'''Dante:''' Why can't you ever say something useful for a change?
--->'''Jay:''' Well, what the fuck you waiting for? That's your cue, man.
--->'''Silent Bob:''' (pauses for a second) I got nothing.
--->'''Jay:''' Jesus fucking Christ, what good are you, you mute fuck?!
--->'''Silent Bob:''' You know what? That hurts. Like, what do you ever add to the [[PrecisionFStrike fucking]] proceedings? You got, like, one answer for everything: "pussy, man."
--->'''Randal:''' Oh, then, man, you must love this guy, 'cause he's the biggest pussy I ever met. The dude who lives his life according to everyone else's standards. "I got to go to Florida 'cause that's what's expected of me." And the fuckin' insane part is, he ain't even that crazy about the chick he's marrying in Florida, never mind the fact that he's got a perfectly good chick right here in Jersey who he's nuts about, [[BrickJoke and even Anne fuckin' Frank]] could see she's nuts about him. God knows why. And she likes you for who you are, man. She ain't trying to stuff you into a box you'll never fit into. Not to mention the fact that she's carrying your hideous fucking CHUD of a kid. Jesus, if you had any sense whatsoever, you'd fucking stop trying to bray it up with the rest of the sheep, and live life the way it makes sense for you, you fucking ass!
--->'''Dante:''' Oh, yeah? [[ArmorPiercingQuestion And what's that?]] You obviously have such a great handle on your life. Tell me what you would do if you were in my position, or even what you'd do in your own position? Swing that judgmental pendulum back the other way and tell me how you'd solve all your problems, asshole. What the fuck would the great Randal Graves do if he were half the master of his destiny that I'm supposed to be?!
--->'''Randal:''' [[ArmorPiercingResponse I'D BUY THE QUICK STOP AND REOPEN IT MYSELF!]] (Dante is taken back) That's what I'd do. That's what we should do.

Ten years after the events in ''Clerks'', Dante opens up the shutters on the Quick Stop windows to find that the store's on fire (thanks to Randal leaving the coffee pot on [[OhNoNotAgain ...again]]). Cut to about a year later when Dante and Randal are working at the local Mooby's franchise, and Dante is working his last day since he's getting ready to move and get married. Of course, things never quite go according to plan in the View Askewniverse...
