Clerks


Clerks stars Brian O'Halloran and Jeff Anderson. In this movie, Dante Hicks (O'Halloran) is a clerk at the Quick Stop, a local convenience store in Leonardo, NJ. One morning, Dante is called in to work on his day off because another employee supposedly called in sick. He is only supposed to work until noon, and he goes in because he thinks he'll be off in time for his afternoon hockey game, but ends up working all the way to close because nobody else ever shows up to relieve him (he closes the store to play hockey anyway). Dante also appears he is stuck in a rut - he is unhappy with his post in life but lacks the ambition to change. Meanwhile, his best friend, Randal Graves (Anderson), is a clerk in the video store next door, and he claims he accepts his spot in life, although he tends to show up late and is not very good with the customers (for instance, he gives two different opinions of the same movie when a customer tests him; he was not paying attention). During the course of their work day, the two converse about many things, such as Star Wars and Dante's ex-girlfriend, and they observe a few interesting things as well, such as a man testing eggs and a woman going through milk to find the one with the latest expiration date. They even find out that Dante's ex-girlfriend had sex with a dead man in the Quick Stop bathroom, believing it to be Dante!
