Fandyien posted:I'm surprised nobody has posted the scene from "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles" where John Candy's character responds to Steve Martin's abuse. I think someone mentioned it on the first or second page. Clerks is pretty silly at points, but it is one of my favorite movies of all time, mainly because it Randal. The scene where he tells Dante to stop being a little birch and take responsibility for his life has always stuck with me: Randal:Oh, gently caress you! gently caress you, pal! Jesus, there you go again trying to pass the buck. I'm the source of all your misery. Who closed the store to play hockey? Who closed the store to go to a wake? Who tried to win back his ex girlfriend without even discussing how he felt with his present one? You wanna blame somebody? Blame yourself. "I'm not even supposed to be here today." [throws stuff at Dante] You sound like an rear end in a top hat! Jesus, nobody twisted your arm to be here today. You're here of your own volition. You like to think the weight of the world rests on your shoulders. Like this place would fall apart if Dante wasn't here. Jesus, you overcompensate for having what's basically a monkey's job. You push loving buttons. Anybody can waltz in here and do our jobs. You... You're so obsessed with making it seem so much more epic, so much more important than it really is. Christ, you work in a convenience store, Dante! And badly, I might add! I work in a lovely video store, badly as well. [sighs] You know, that guy Jay's got it right, man. He has no delusions about what he does. Us... we like to make ourselves seem so much more important than the people that come in here to buy a paper, or, God forbid... cigarettes. We look down on them as if we're so advanced. Well, if we're so loving advanced, what are we doing working here?
