In the parking garage when Bartelby was ranting about God's favoritism to the humans and Loki says, "I've heard this rant before. You sound like the Morning Star. You sound like Lucifer, man!" That was a pretty powerful scene for a writer who specializes in dick and fart jokes.
shareI think much of this script is Kevin Smith's best work- and that scene you mentioned was indeed very powerful.
I'm holding everyone to a higher standard- a standard much higher than my own
that was a really great scene, probably my favourite. really showed us who those two were.
sharePersonally, I found it the oddest part of the film. Bartleby, despite losing the plot, isn't really talking about a war on God, but just continuing to do what they were doing, despite any obstacles.
The scene also represents the part of the movie where the two angels seemingly switch roles for no discernible reason, with the Angel of Death suddenly not wanting to even step on an ant (after shooting up a boardroom earlier) and the 'Watcher' that has been talking him down from the beginning of creation up until like 10 minutes before, now wanting to kill anything he comes across. To me, nothing in the Bethany/Bartleby train scene justifies that sudden turn.

I also like the scene where The Metatron tells Bethany,
"That's what Jesus said. Yes, I had to tell him. And you can imagine how that hurt the Father - not to be able to tell the Son Himself because one word from His lips would destroy the boy's frail human form? So I was forced to deliver the news to a scared child who wanted nothing more than to play with other children. I had to tell this little boy that He was God's only Son, and that it meant a life of persecution and eventual crucifixion at the hands of the very people He came to enlighten and redeem. He begged me to take it back, as if I could. He begged me to make it all not true. And I'll let you in on something, Bethany, this is something I've never told anyone before... If I had the power, I would have."
How do the angels get to sleep when the Devil leaves his porch light on?
Agreed, that's one of my favorites
shareyep, gave me chills
shareThis movie made me laugh my head off, as Kevin Smith films do, but it also had a lot of cool concepts and characters. This IS Kevin Smith's Comic Book Movie IMHO.
shareI loved this scene, Matt Damon was BRILLIANT. Gave me chills!!

This film is a one-off - love it to bits.
Matt Damon manages to be scary, cute and passive-aggressive, simultaneously.
Not just well written, well acted too .

in the beginning, it is always dark
The whole movie is a combination of dick jokes and philosophical debate about theology. It's pretty cool actually. Definitely better than Jay and Silent Bob strike Back. What a letdown.
