Goofs:

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): A local anesthetic is specifically designed to not render the patient unconscious. A "local" which, as Randal describes, would knock Dante out, would in fact be a general anesthetic.

Quotes:

Randal: Listen to you. The guy is offering you the fire from Olympus that is the flying car and you trade him a bum foot?

Excellent Display of Smith's Dialogue Skills

This is an excellent short, the best I've seen so far. It is a nice little sample of Kevin Smith's work. Smith has a natural talent to create dialogue such as this. I love his mix of crude and lewd subject matter with witty uses of various not-so-everyday words from the English language. Watch the clock for Randal's rant on how people such as Dante are responsible for the state of the American nation. It lasts for basically a whole minute. Its a nice piece that fits well with these two slacking clerks. Watch this short! Its available all around the net and is worth the short download.
