Clerks ending explained (spoilers)

[lena]

It turns out Caitlan (Lisa Spoonhauer) had sex with the old guythat Dante (Brian O'Halloran) allowed to use the employees only toilet and the loan of a porno mag. Appartently he died of a heart attack and rigor mortis started to kick in. Caitlin is taken away in an ambulance in a catatonic state. Veronica (Marylin Ghigliotti) angrily breaks up with Dante becauseRandall (Jeff Anderson)had told her earlier that Dante was getting back together with Caitlin. Later on when Randall pops into the Quick Stop, he and Dante have a fight that trashes the store. Dante bemaons the state of his life, but Randall gives him a reality check saying that he's the one who came into work on his day off of his own choice. They clean up the store and make up. Randall does his dance leaving the store.

(Originally Kevin Smith had a longer ending, where after Randall left a robber comes in,shoots Dante and robs the store, but this was wisely cut).

Veronica dumps Dante because he was trying to get together with Caitlin. Caitlin ends up in a mental hospital because she had sex with a dead guy. Dante has no girlfriend.--An alternate ending has Dante getting shot by a robber. It seems that hes dead. Afterwards, Kevin Smith (not playing Silent Bob, but in a long ponytail) goes into the store, looking for cigs. He doesnt see anybody manning the counter, so he reaches up and steals them, then runs off.
