It features View Askewniverse characters Dante Hicks and Randal Graves, who were introduced in Clerks.While stuck in a traffic jam, the two have another philosophical, pop-culture-laden conversation — this one sparked when Randal asks Dante what he would hypothetically sacrifice in exchange for marketing rights to a flying car.It is similar to the scene in the original movie where they are driving to the wake.

It also appears on the 10th anniversary Clerks. X DVD....,
