Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Dante Hicks is not having a good day. He clerks 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 proves to be 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 thought. 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 door and he hates his job as much as Dante hates his. Written by garykmcd |

| Quotes |
Indecisive Video Customer:
They say so much, but they never tell you if it's any good. Are either one of these any good? Sir? Randal Graves: What? Indecisive Video Customer: Are either one of these any good? Randal Graves: I don't watch movies. Indecisive Video Customer: Well, have you heard anything about either one of them? Randal Graves: I find it's best to stay out of other people's affairs. Indecisive Video Customer: You mean you haven't heard anybody say anything about either one of these? Randal Graves: Nope. Indecisive Video Customer: [turns around, then shows Randal the same movies] Well, what about these two? Randal Graves: Oh, they suck. Indecisive Video Customer: These are the same two movies! You weren't paying any attention! Randal Graves: No, I wasn't. Indecisive Video Customer: I don't think your manager would appreciate it if... Randal Graves: I don't appreciate your ruse, ma'am. Indecisive Video Customer: I beg your pardon? Randal Graves: Your ruse. Your cunning attempt to trick me. Indecisive Video Customer: I was only pointing out that you weren't paying any attention to what I was saying. Randal Graves: And I hope it feels good. Indecisive Video Customer: You hope *what* feels good? Randal Graves: I hope it feels so good to be right. There's nothing more exhilarating than pointing out the shortcomings of others, is there? Indecisive Video Customer: Well, this is the last time I rent here. Randal Graves: You'll be missed. Indecisive Video Customer: Screw you! [leaves] Randal Graves: [runs to the door] Hey! You're not allowed to rent here anymore! Jay: [outside; has no idea what's going on] Yeah! See more » |
