Mallrats is a 1995 film written and directed by Kevin Smith. It is the second to be set in Smith's View Askewniverse series of interlocking films set mostly in New Jersey, although the movie was filmed in Eden Prairie Center and Osowski's Flea Market which are located in Minnesota. As in the other View Askewniverse movies, the characters Jay and Silent Bob figure prominently, and characters and events from other films are discussed. Several cast members, including Jason Lee, Ben Affleck, and Joey Lauren Adams, have gone on to work in several other Smith films. Comic book icon Stan Lee appeared, as did Brian O'Halloran, the star of Smith's breakout feature Clerks.
On April 9, 1993, T.S. Quint (Jeremy London) is preparing for a trip to Universal Studios in Florida with Brandi Svenning (Claire Forlani), during which he plans to propose to her; however, Brandi tells him she cannot go because she has volunteered to fill in as a contestant on Truth or Date, her father's dating game show, and they argue over it and eventually break up. Quint turns to his best friend Brodie Bruce (Jason Lee), who has also broken up with his girlfriend, Rene Mosier (Shannen Doherty) after having an argument, and Bruce suggests the two might find solace at the local mall.
In the company of morons
I swear they're unstoppable
Can't push, they're pushin' back
Watchin' the shoppers race this track
And they got places to go so fast
Fools connect, then they pass
Never need to get up
Just sit, watch and laugh and breathe
Don't walk, walk, walk too fast
You're tramplin' all your bags
Damaged goods and no, no receipt
And no receipt
Pocketbooks and credit slips
Day-Glo patterns, an old man trips
It's out of all inconvenience
Patience runs out of stock
At times just one sale can make it right
Can make it right
Don't walk, walk, walk too fast
You're tramplin' all your bags
Damaged goods and no, no receipt
And no receipt
Don't walk, walk, walk too fast
You're tramplin' all your bags
Damaged goods and no, no receipt
And no receipt
Don't walk, walk, walk too fast
You're tramplin' all your bags
Damaged goods and no, no receipt
And no receipt
Pocketbooks and credit slips
Day-Glo patterns, an old man trips
It's out of all inconvenience
Patience runs out of stock
At times just one sale can make it right
Can make it right
Don't walk, walk, walk too fast
You're tramplin' all your bags
Damaged goods and no, no receipt
