History TearJerker / ClerksIII

[[caption-width-right:350:I wish you were here, man...]]

-->'''Randal:''' This is the way I see you. You're the main character in my ''Star Wars''. You're not the Dak. You've always been the Luke... so you're the hero of my movie, too. ''(voice breaking)'' You've always been my hero, Dante.
* Randal screaming his PleaseDontLeaveMe line as Dante dies. Randal has been so afraid of Dante leaving him that it just makes this scene that much more heartbreaking.
** Randal's actor, Jeff Anderson, really delivers the emotion in that moment. It's a tearjerking moment just to listen to him say that line.

-->'''Randal:''' (''tearfully'') You're not even supposed to be here today.

* While we know, by seeing Dante's DyingDream, that he forgave Randal, and Randal himself understood it from Dante's gesture, the fact still remains that he will live the rest of his life with the memory of his best friend's last words being an angry TheReasonYouSuckSpeech, in which he called him "a gaping wound of a human being".

* Kevin Smith's closing narration reveals that Randal went on to become an acclaimed director until retiring at the ripe old age of 90. While it's heartwarming to hear that Randal made something of his life after the events of the trilogy, it's extremely sad when you realize he lived another 40 years without his best friend Dante by his side.

* Dante visiting Becky’s grave and crying about how alone he feels without her.

* Dante snapping at Randal over how making the film is forcing him to relive the worst moment of his life (losing Becky) when Randal ripped on Dante for not wanting to shoot a scene at Mooby’s. This leads to Dante suffering a heart attack.

* Randal sneaks into Dante’s hospital room to show him a rough cut of his film, which are actual clips from the first ''Film/{{Clerks}}''. Dante subconsciously watches it in a theater with Becky and says it is the best movie he’s ever seen. With that, he tells Becky he is ready to go with her.
-->'''Becky:''' But it's not over! Don’t you want to see how it ends?\\

-->'''Randal''': This is the way I see you. You're the main character in my ''Star Wars''. You're not the Dak. You've always been the Luke... so you're the hero of my movie, too. ''(voice breaking)'' You've always been my hero, Dante.

* At Dante’s funeral, Randal eulogizes his best friend and paraphrases his most famous line:
-->'''Randal:''' (''tearfully'') You’re not even supposed to be here today.

* Becky is revealed to have died shortly after marrying Dante because of a drunk driver. Their unborn child was also killed.

* Randall screaming his PleaseDontLeaveMe line as Dante dies. Randall has been so afraid of Dante leaving him that it just makes this scene that much more heartbreaking.
** Randall's actor, Jeff Anderson, really delivers the emotion in that moment. It's a tearjerking moment just to listen to him say that line.

* The final shot of the film is Randal quietly whispering that he wishes Dante were there, with a vision of him appearing right next to him as the camera pans out in the Quick Stop one last time.

-->'''Becky:''' But the movie’s not over yet! Don’t you want to see how it ends?\\
'''Dante:''' I trust the director.
