But [Smith acolytes] would insist that is the point: 



Here we are, a decade later, and nothing has changed for Dante Hicks (Brian O'Halloran) and Randal Graves (Jeff Anderson). The movie begins where its predecessor left off, 



with Dante schlepping to work at the Quick Stop in New Freakin' Jersey. 



Randal still works at the video store next door. They're still go-nowhere men, moved off-site only by the inferno that devours the Quick Stop during Clerks II's opening moments. But they crawl only as far as Mooby's, the fast-food joint featured in other Smith films, because, try as the writer-director might to escape his View Askewniverse, he can take only right turns.
