Kevin Smith’s dialogue is so natural yet impactful. I can’t describe it that well. But it sounds like you and your buddies talking, but the conversation is about the meaning of life. With some cussing thrown in to add light realism
Kevin smith is one of the most talented writers out there tbh. Witty, natural, amazing dialogue in his movies. He doesnt get as much credit because of how ridiculous the movies can he he directs but really to me he’s talented like tarantino in this respect
@@raytorres8050 Funny enough, when he stopped using drugs, he kinda relapsed into snorting sugar. When you see him now, he had to have some of his nasal passage and upper mouth rebuilt because of how damaged everything got.
Scenes like this show how genuine and real Kevin and Jason's friendship is. Nobody has this chemistry and understanding of each other's shit like these guys.
@nikola zazzoslki they had a slight falling out because Jason was living with Kevin while he was trying to get clean. Kevin told him if he used again he was done, which he did, so Kevin kicked him out and cut him off. A while after Jason actually ended up getting clean and apologized to Kevin and they are back to being best boys
Except it wasn't about a three way, it was about his girlfriend at the time (Joey Adams, who plays Alyssa) having been to like, Tahiti or something, while he never really left New Jersey. That made him feel insecure.
@@KennyRubenis Maybe that's the way he tells it these days, but I remember when he used to say Joey Adams was WAY more experienced in bed than him and it intimidated him.
This isn't the only part of Smith's life that's in his movies. In Chasing Amy, Holden and Banky's first successful comic is a black and white comic about their time working at at a store, the comic being called 37. Obviously, that's a reference to Clerks. Bluntman & Chronic is actually their second series which is less popular than 37 due to its immature humour, a reference to Mallrats.. There was actually a deleted scene with Steve-Dave and Walt from Mallrats openly telling them they hate it, even referencing the Stink Palm from Mallrats. (link to deleted scenes: th-cam.com/video/mtmhdo2oRLQ/w-d-xo.html) In Dogma, Bethany's lack of faith was actually a reflection of Smith questioning his own faith in his early 20s. A priest told him an analogy about faith being like a glass of water that gets bigger and needs more liquid to fill it the older a person gets. This was said by Liz in the movie.
I feel he is silent most of the time because he is directing so much its hard to critique your self in your own film. Thus his dry performance in this.... ok director terrable actor
I like that even though all of Kevin Smith's movies take place in the universe they all have a very different tone. Clerks felt very much like a documentary. Mall Rats felt like a raunchy 80's comedy, Chasing Amy was the most grounded and realstic almost feeling like an drama. Dogma was a supernatural and religious spoof. And Jay and Silent Bob strike back was the most cartoonish, almost an R rated Looney Tunes. Allowing Smith to do something different but similar all at the same time. Love his universe.
@@alldogsgoheaven jay gives bob an "intimidating" jolt. bob doesn't flinch because he knows they are friends. jay wouldn't actually hurt bob, so bob just plays it cool like other buddies in america do.
This lesson is very true my wife had way more experiences than I and I felt this exact way too but thankfully I saw this movie right around the time I found out everything so instead of hurting her for things that happened long before we realized we cared for each other I focused on us and just tried to make the time we spend together as memorable as possible cuz at the end of the day she’s with me because she doesn’t want any of that stuff anymore she wants me and for me to love and accept her the way she loves and accepts me. We’re going on 6 years strong now and I couldn’t be happier.
Translation: my wife rode the cock carousel with countless men and after having her fun she is ready to "settle down" with some unfortunate provider like me so I can be her janitor and mop up her shit life.
@@th3envyp238 not funny, thats why your called a troll but if you find this funny then you must still be a kid..if so you get a pass because as kid you'll tend to find dumb shit "humor" like that funny
Love this scene so much. Especially the bit where Jay accuses of Bob of deliberately trying to make what he says more impactful by almost always being silent. His brutal honesty brings the whole thing so completely down to earth.
I love Holden's reaction by the end of the story. It's like Silent Bob had every single answer he was looking for by the end of it. This scene is amazing.
Chasing Amy is such a well written well acted funny dramatic comedy and Kevin Smith doesn't get the credit he deserves for any of his films and that's a shame because he's a terrific filmmaker.
Jay Fleming and Mario video chatted, went ass to mouth, then Mario looked Jay in the eyes and said "its over". So every day since then Jay has been chasing Mario...So to speak.
If she cheated on you while you were going out get rid of her. But a persons past is the past. Appreciate what you have in front of you. Know in your heart she picked you and you picked her.
haha Silent Bob's Amy should like when kids say they had a girlfriend over the summer and they met them at camp that's far away from home and their friends are like "righhhhht, ... Bullshit!" ... honestly, I love this scene! I love this movie period!
So ironic how the director that makes the most interesting conversations is the silent one in his movies. Irs like he's telling HIS life and stories through his actors while he watches...like a movie!
I think most of us may have a chasing Amy story: deep in love with a girl, we get into their past, and we may hear things that we don't want to and shouldn't know. What as men sexually, we think in fantasy, women can get involved just by choice, specially if the lady is exceptionally beautiful. Eventually, we shoot ourselves in the foot, and once we feel like we get it, we understand, it's too late, it is over.
Kevin's earlier stuff is his best work. I liked Clerks 2 and Jay and Silent Bob strike Back. But the premise of having a reboot or making fun of reboots. I dont know I just hoping for best. I'm looking forward to Justin Long cameo. Kevin has said its going to be better than and funnier than Zack & Miri. Kevin needs to get back to roots and back to New Jersey.
I hate the idiot gear. It’s so stupid to feel jealousy and judgement and resentment over this crap, when a person is clearly healed and cares deeply for you.
Holden really should've paid more attention to the advice Hooper gave him in the record store. Actually, he really should've paid attention to this one, too.
The thing that gets me about that scene is - Jay has already declared their intention to go and smoke a joint outside, and yet Bob lights a cigarette at the end of scene. What is up with that?

Thats one of the things he can do i think when he writes if he gets an idea he will write it exactly how he thought about it. Very cool guy
It sounds like he is telling the lines he wrote, is not that weird.
Add to that he is a pretty decent actor.
I just love how Jay is eating Several servings of plain sugar while Silent Bob's telling his story.
tk maz
The reason Jason is eating sugar is because hes jonesing. He used herion but at this time he stopped. When you stop using you urge for sugar.
I love how I've seen Chasing Amy like 5 times and never noticed this before. LOL.
@@raytorres8050 He was also high on coke though soooo.

Love the old Kevin Smith flicks. Each one a precious gem.
The comedy mixed in with real life perspectives really makes things relatable and enjoyable. Kevin Smith is a master of his craft.

@@boogiedull OH WOW LOL
I love that undertoned, "do something".😂❤
I really like this scene, particularly how the cigarette changes size, then just flat disappears.
Man, these movies were very entertaining. I remember just feeling lucky whenever I got to watch one of these movies, they were such a treat.
Jay looking at Bob after he said “I felt small..” so damn funny!
I love that they have the old diner jukeboxes in the background.
"Bitch, what you don't know about me I can pretty much squeeze into the Grand-fucking-Canyon" love it
Damn. This is a relatable ass scene.
Lol
Cuuuuck
Jay ordered bagels. They brought them. He ate sugar instead
That was actually his daily coke break. The bagels were for after.
Those are the same bagels from Dogma I believe same diner too probably

He's on heroin. He was using when filming this scene.
I’ve been chasing Amy for years
Ive been chasing her too
Mark Wilken you mean chasing Jamie?
For me I'm Chasing Rachel
You been chasing the dragon more like
I still haven’t found Amy Probably never will ether
I bet you didn’t know I wanted to be a dancer *jazz hands* Classic cinema!
I forgot I remembered this scene. Such a great monologue.
what a scene
Been here. Crazy how sometimes we think things and funny how we believe we are the only ones.
So this so real footage of Ben Afflecks marriage counselling lol
Chasing Amy was peak Kevin Smith, even Silent Bob was a gigachad in this movie.
This is probably the best Batman ever
Yep. Now he is chasing Joker.
Ah....I miss the 90's :(
I always loved how Jay calls Bob out before he even gives his speech
"You can always tell that chasing Amy story or 'hey those are some good cheese fries'"
Why does kevin Smith remind me of Ryan Dunn in this scene?
daysErlock the face and the beard
Oh and the hair
And the movie Haggard.

Silent Bob can talks, he just chooses to be silent most of the time. Silent Bob is not a mute. There's a difference between a silent type and a mute.
Glad Jay and Silent Bob Reboot made a nice call back to this
90's sooooo much better than now.......
Twenty years after this movie, David Fincher showed the world that Affleck is still Chasing Amy.
Cut before Jay drops one of the greatest, most profound lines of all time. “The world has one bitch... one bitch with many faces.”
Ahhh the 90s where you could still smoke indoors.
Great scene
lotta truth in this monologue
"Now that is what they call a Shared Moment" lol
2:11 'do something' 😂
That Batman foreshadowing though.....
Did you know I always wanted be a dancer in Vegas?!? 😂
"So Ive spent everyday since then chasing Amy. ..so to speak*

What's the instrumental piece that plays in the background while Bob tells his story?
I like Jay & silent bob movies
Brilliant use of smoking and the way he puffed at the end
He said it!
Love that movie.
this scene cuts to the bone man
But if Bob had stayed with Amy he wouldn't have been there to help save the universe and we all would have been screwed.
we all jst chasing Amy now now..😊☺🙂😌🙁☹😦😧😔😭😭😭

Fuck that. You can't turn a whore into a housewife.
When you find out your girl was a ho, time to move on.

It was common to smoke cigarettes inside then
Shit this is just an idea, they need to make a film abot bob finding Amy
so true =(
Girls like the chase
say it dont spray it
He talked
As a guy I'm gonna tell the truth. Holden isn't upset that Alicia Jones did all that shit. He's pissed off she did it without him.
