Hey!

So, "Jay and Silent Bob Reboot"

came about after years
of Jason Mewes going like,

"We should do another Jay
and Silent Bob movie,"

and I was like,
"You're out of your mind."

Like, "I can't believe
we got away with that once."

You know, I had had issues
with trust about Jason

because he'd fallen down
the drug hole so many times,

so that was a reason why,
whenever he'd be like,

"Let's do another Jay
and Silent Bob,"

I was like,
"You know, that's cool,"

'cause inside, I was like --
I --

It was hard to make the last one

'cause he was still kind of

using and stuff like that

before we started
shooting the movie

and, first, you had
to get him off drugs

and then go make the flick

and constantly watch him
and worry that he was --

What was he getting up to
when he wasn't on set?

But after hanging out with him

while we were making the podcast
for as long as we have

and traveling the world
and shit like that,

I got to know him
in a different way

and trust him implicitly,
like with my life.

And so we had tried to make
"Clerks III"

and that kind of didn't happen,

and then, we tried to make
"Mallrats 2,"

and that didn't happen.

"Clerks," I don't own.

We sold it many years ago
to Miramax.

"Mallrats," I don't own.
Universal owns it.

So I can't do anything
with those,

unless they say I can.

It was very frustrating.

Couldn't play with my own toys.

Then, I remembered, you know,
we own "Jay and Silent Bob."

You don't have to ask anybody
for permission to do that.

If you wanna make
a "Jay and Silent Bob" movie,

you can go right now
and you can do it.

He had been clean for so long
and like, you know,

it just sounded fun like
as I rolled it over in my head.

I was like,
"What if we did like

'Jay and Silent Bob Reboot'?"

And we would've,

but then I had
a heart attack.

Hey, man. It's me.
And I'm fine, kinda.

I had a heart attack --
a massive heart attack --

and very nearly died
the other night, Sunday night.

I was doing two shows,
which we were shooting

for a comedy special
and, after the first show,

which was great, two hours,
and I was like, "Oh, shit.

Like we got one more show.
This is gonna be great."

I started feeling nauseous.

I was the first one
he called when he came

out of the cath lab

and it was 3:00 in the morning.

The phone rang and I figured,
"Well, okay.

Kevin would call at that hour,"
or my daughter.

And [ Clears throat ]
I picked it up

and I said, "Hey, Kev.
What are you doing at this hour?

I'm just cleaning the house."

I was doing something, anyhow.

He said, "Ma,
I knew you'd be up.

I gotta tell you something."

He said, "We're twins."

I said, "No. You're my son.

I'm your mother."
And he said,

"No. We're twins.

I just had an LAD
opening up with a stent.

He says, "I was 99% blocked,
like you were."

I go, "What? Wait a minute.
Is this a joke at 3:00

in the morning, Kevin?
I don't find this one funny."

Growing up, I lost a lot
of important people to me,

but I was younger,
but, thank goodness,

knock on wood,
it honestly has been

many, many, many, many years
since I've lost someone

and had to deal with loss.

I don't know.
I like freaked out.

I remember freaking out
on the way there

and then I tried to calm down
and be supportive.

And he goes, "Mom, I swear."

He said, "I just got off

the cath lab, you know, gurney

and the doctor was
very successful, thank God."

Man, when I heard about it,
it was just unbelievable.

I mean, I just kept thinking
like, "This just can't be true.

This can't have happened."

And there was that sense
of like, "Holy shit.

One of my friends
almost died?"

Like you don't really
think about that.

And then you're like,
"Oh, yeah. That's right.

We're old."

And he always tells me

that there was a moment

where he didn't know
if he was gonna make it

and, in that moment,
he felt very peaceful,

like he had done most
everything that he wanted

and his life was so
wonderful and beautiful,

he wouldn't really want it
any other way,

but he's been wanting to make
this film for so long that,

if there was one thing
that he could go back and do,

it would be this film.

Because, you know,
when you almost die and shit,

you're like, "No more like,
'We'll get to it.'"

It's like, "We gotta go,
now, because time is --

You don't know when your time's
fucking up and shit."

It was clearly such a vulnerable
moment in our family.

He could have told me
that he wanted to

do a sequel to "Tusk" and I
would've said yes. [ Laughs ]

It kind of, in many ways, like
was the impetus to live around.

I'm not saying like I lived

to make
"Jay and Silent Bob Reboot,"

but, when we went back
into the movie,

like post-heart attack,

the movie took
a different shape.

Once he had recovered,

which, he recovered

farmore quickly than I did,

I guess he really wanted
to take a look at his life.

It kept changing.
I kept rewriting.

I kept adding things
and leaning into the feels.

A year to the day
of Kevin's heart attack,

February 25th, was the day
that principal shooting started

and, to the day, one year later,
we were shooting it.

We start
"Jay and Silent Bob Reboot"

Brodie has now graduated.

Secret Stash used to be

He's now moved it into the mall,

which he always loved

even though the mall

So there's a little
bit of story there

in "Jay and Silent Bob Reboot,"

Jason Lee hadn't acted
in a red-hot minute --

four years, he said --
when he came to play,

but, you know, it was like
riding a bike or, rather,

for Jason Lee,
like riding a skateboard.

He got right back on and was
crushing it and stuff like that.

This is --
It's been a while.

I haven't been on a set
in a while

'cause I've been on a little
bit of a hiatus

and so to jump
right back into it

with all the Kevin Smith
dialogue,

it felt like shooting
"Mallrats" all over again

because I was new at that time.

I was a newcomer.
So there's a little bit

of sort of dialogue
choreography, in a way.

But it ultimately fits
his world and his characters

and the rhythm of it,
so you go with it

and, when it works --

When you get it right
and it works,

it makes sense
why it's that way.

I mean, it's been
a long, long time.

I'm just happy he's
alive, certainly,

and survived that ordeal

and that he's back
on a set in a mall

I don't have to deal

So low-tech.

We figured this out
on "Clerks II"

'cause Jeff Anderson
wanted a little ducktail.

He didn't want long hair,
so we just sewed the hair

into the back of his hat,
so every time he'd put it on,

boom, he had
somewhat longish hair.

So I was always dreaming like,
"If we ever did

Silent Bob again, I would do
that," and we did it.

This is the show
where dreams come true

Good night!
-Whoo!

So, you know, Kevin,
one of his favorite parts

of making a movie
is editing it

and he literally starts

as soon as he has footage,
while we're shooting.

And how I like to work is,

when I'm making
the fucking flick,

I cut together as much as I can

every night,

so that I can show people

what the movie looks like,

so they can be --
You know.

I know what it looks like
in my head, but,

the job, as such, is you're
always trying

to explain to people,
"This is what I want.

This is what I look for."

It's easier to just be like,
"Here! Look what you did!

This is what -- We did it!"

So, he started editing
in New Orleans

and would bring
the footage to tape,

as he does pretty much
on every movie.

Didn't sleep.

He was too excited.

It's always just
such a mystery to me.

He shoots for, what?
12 hours, 15 hours a day,

comes home,
and sits down and edits,

I think,
until his head hits the desk.

And he'll sleep
for maybe two hours

and then get up
and shoot again.

It is inhuman.

Like I don't know
how he does it,

but that's just the way
that he operates.

And that's really beneficial

because people are
self-correcting animals, right?

So if you show someone
a scene, you know,

whether the actor or the fucking
gaffer or the costume designer

or the production designer
or fucking DP,

they're gonna look at that clip
in a different way than you are.

Hollywood Motion Picture
Company B!

Jay and Silent Bob.

Because he's
editing in his mind,

I mean, he's editing
as we're shooting,

so he knows
the pieces he needs,

but he also encourages
improvisation

and keeps it very open.

So it's a very fertile
environment for comedy,

I think, because he's
very encouraging and playful

and, you know, he has what
my favorite directors have,

which is just that like
sense of play,

like a kid in the sandbox,
you know?

It's so loose and laid-back,

yet, you know,

he runs a tight ship.

I was a junior in high school.

We were all obsessed
with "Clerks."

I mean, you know, Kevin said,
"Come on out

and let's reboot this movie
and come do something."

It was like
I didn't even read it.

It was like -- I was, "Yes!
Okay. Let's go."

One thing, he's like the most
positive like athletic coach.

He like [ Clap ] gives you
pep talks before every setup.

It's really positive
and sweet in that way

and you also know he knows
exactlywhat he wants,

so you're just like fully trust
that, which is so nice.

Alright, so, tonight was
the second time

I got to work
with the great Chris Jericho.

The first time was in Florida
a couple months back,

on this horror anthology

I'm doing with the kids
in Sarasota

at the Ringling School,
called "Kilroy Was Here."

It reminded me
of the Method and Red shoot,

a shoot from last night.

Going into that night
on "Kilroy,"

you were the X-factor
'cause I was like,

"Well, I've done everything
else, but I've never worked

with Chris.
What will that be like?"

And Chris like hit the ground
fucking running,

so we brought him back and he
made the scene even better

by virtue of the fact that,
when we told 'im,

"Hey, man, you're gonna play
the Klan leader" --

And what's so like ironic
is like Chris is like one

of the sweetest guys
in the world.

Number one, he's raised well.

Number two,
he's raised Canadian.

So even though, of course,
the wrestling personality,

you were both sides, right,
good guy, bad guy?

Well, yeah, but you're
playing a part.

You're playing
a character in that.

And that's one thing I love
about working with you,

the two times we've done it
so far, is that it's not like

"Okay, Chris is gonna be
the bouncer,"

or, "Chris is gonna be
the assassin," whatever.

It's like fun parts.
You do stuff to show

other elements
of yourself

as a performer,
as an actor, so.

It all comes
from the same place.

Whether you're performing
in wrestling

or whether you're
a Shakespearean actor,

whether you're doing
a movie,

you have to commit to it
and connect.

Man, you crushed it tonight.

And that sweetness
is Jericho.

There it is.

You know what's weird?

Is to make
a View Askewniverse movie

in a post-Marvel world
'cause the last time

I was making these movies,
I was the only one

that had a cinematic universe,
you know what I'm saying?

I mean, they made movies
with sequels and shit like that,

but like a universe
where it's like

this movie has a different
title from this movie,

but these characters
know each other

and these characters come
into this movie

and shit like that.
We were able to do that

across a couple different
companies, like Miramax.

Universal had "Mallrats."

Later on, the Weinstein Company
and stuff.

So, you know,
it's the first time

I went back to play
with my movie universe

since Marvel defined,
for most people,

what a movie universe is.

I built my entire life
on the backs --

I sounded like
Matthew McConaughey --

[ Southern accent ]
Life!

I built my entire life
[ Laughing ] on the backs

of these fictional characters

and so to be able to pull 'em
out and play with them again

and put them all
in one movie and stuff?

And at one point,
somebody was like,

"Oh, like
it's like your 'Avengers,'"

and I was like, "No,

'The Avengers' is their 'Jay
and Silent Bob Strike Back.'"

We found it, kids.

We're inthe Blunt Cave.
This is crazy.

I thought we'd be doing this
pretty much just greenscreen,

but Nate built a piece
of the Blunt Cave

to interact with,
so it's literally just like

"Jay and Silent Bob
Strike Back."

We got a Blunt Cave again.

So today is greenscreen day
in the Blunt Cave.

It's a four-person scene,

but only one
of the performers is here.

Thankfully, that performer
is the great Melissa Benoist

from "Supergirl,"
and she's used to, on that show,

I know for a fact,
'cause I've seen it,

so it was awesome
when I saw her this morning.

They brought her in very early

to like try on the costume
and shit.

Like I think
she had a 5:00 am pickup

and it's like maybe 9:30
or 10:00 now and stuff,

so she's been waiting
around a minute.

I mean, it was adorable.

She goes, "I don't have
to act like Jay, do I?"

I was like, "You do whatever
you want in that role."

So we're gonna play
in the Blunt Cave today,

day 1 of 2.

It's called "Jay

you know, make fun
of reboots and stuff,

but, technically, this movie's
what they call a requel,

which is a reboot
and a sequel at the same time,

which is kind of what
"Force Awakens" was.

But erase all that
modern-day terminology.

It did not feel like a sequel

until yesterday,
when Shannon came on set

"Oh, shit!

This is literally part 2."

What does it feel
like to be back?

Amazing!

then, if I'm being testy

It's not like people
came up to me and said like,

"You should fucking say shit,"

I'm like,
"Is that accent real?"

So, meeting him --

I was a little starstruck.

It was like seeing a unicorn

of "Reboot"

was being able
to give Silent Bob

his first on-screen kiss,
as Miss McKenzie,

so,

that was funny.

So, tonight, we made history

on the set

Silent Bob has never
had an on-screen kiss,

-No.
-Silent Bob

-[ Laughs ]
-never had an on-screen kiss.

Once, Suzanne the orangutan
kissed him,

at the end of "Jay
and Silent Bob Strike Back."

And, if you watch the face
of the actor

playing the character
Silent Bob

when that orangutan goes in
for the kiss --

sheer terror.

No performance.

Tonight was the exact same thing

because Silent Bob
had his first on-screen kiss

with a human being
and it was sheer terror.

It was almost
the same expression.

But the good news is
the kiss was with her,

so I've had tons
of fucking practice, man.

My wife, Jennifer.
Say hello.

-Hello.
-So Jen comes back --

Okay, well,
why were you scared

about the on-screen

Tonight, we kissed.
Although, now,

I'm fucking starting to have

I don't wanna --
So fucking --

Anyway, we kissed.
-I have a question.

Come on in.

I see there's a question
from the audience.

Yes, young stranger.

Do you feel like it was
more terrifying

getting ready to do
your first on-screen kiss

with a lady,
being your wife,

or watching your wife

make out
with someone else?

'Cause I think
it was more horrifying,

the latter.
Is that correct?

Did I say it right,
the latter?

So what, because she made out

with Brian O'Halloran
in "Clerks"?

Yeah, it upset me
to see that.

Even though it was acting,
it was acting,

but, you know,
I didn't wanna see that.

I don't -- So wait, the root
of your question is what?

Would I rather watch her
make out with Brian O'Halloran

or make out with myself?

The answer is --
-No. What was more terrifying?

What was more terrifying,
your first kiss?

You said you were terrified.
-Why was I --

There was no -- I was terrified
when I had to kiss the orangutan

'cause I thought it was
gonna eat my face,

but here I wasn't
terrified at all.

I've got 20 years' practice

here we all are,
making another movie.

Okay, so this is Chronic-Con,
which is --

the idea is that,
in the movie,

"Bluntman and Chronic"
was a real movie back in 2001,

built a small fan base,

and resulted in this
Chronic-Con.

A bunch of fans put on
a convention based

around love
of this old movie.

But how we got
to Chronic-Con was more --

It wasn't my first idea.

Originally, Jay and Silent Bob

were headed to Comic-Con,
in San Diego,

and then I started thinking
about it logically

and I was like, "I can't get
the licenses for 'Batman,'

'Spiderman,' 'Wonder Woman,'"

blah blah blah, anything,
you know, 'Avatar,'

anything you would
like to see at a real con."

If you go
to San Diego Comic-Con,

you see a bunch of fucking IP,
intellectual property,

and I couldn't pull that off,
so I started thinking like,

"Well, if I can't get,
like, licenses for everything,

how can I do a con?"

I said, "You got some.

You own some IP.

You know,
why don't you use yours?"

So, suddenly, it shifted

to Chronic-Con
instead of Comic-Con

and, suddenly, the plot of the
movie shifted along with it

and stuff, so necessity being
the mother of invention,

I didn't do all this
'cause I'm like,

"I just wanna walk into a room
filled with thousands of me."

No.
We're only doing this

because this is ultimately,
ironically enough, cheaper.

That is fucking phenomenal.

the beautiful picture wrap.

That was perhaps the most poetic
I've ever been in my life.

No, I'm actually glad.

I referred to the kid
as Batman Junior,

and my wife was like,
"That's what you went with?"

And now I just double hit it.

Fuck. What an idiot.
Anyway, let's back on him.

He pulled the camera away,
and we missed the girls' wrap.

So the girls' wrap, this is
the last night of the girl gang,

and as you can see,
this fucking kid's a mess.

Apparently, we just raised her
in a room

full of pillows and clouds
because look at that.

[ Voice breaking ]
Shut up!

[ Both laugh ]
Look at that.

You know me.
Like, I cry at Marvel stuff

and whatnot, but --

You cry -- you just cried
like 5 minutes ago.

Hopefully,
we've all gotten, like,

the emotional stuff
out of the way,

the real emotional stuff,
so we can shoot

the fake emotional stuff,
as we head into the scene.

But a lot of people here
who I deeply love today

added to the cast, man.

Of course,
we're gonna be carried,

as always, by Christ himself.

Give it up for Jason Mewes.

[ Applause ]

This person is the only reason

that I know that I could be
a writer when I was a kid.

I found some writing she had
done and said, "What's this?"

And she said,
"I'm writing a book."

And I said, "What do you mean?"

And she's like, "I'm writing
a story about me and my friends.

We go on an adventure."

And I'd never heard that before.

I was like, "You can't
just write a book.

You've got to ask the fucking
government or some shit."

And she was like, "No,
anybody can write anything.

You know, if you want
to write one day, you can."

And it took me a little while,

and one day I started
writing and stuff.

So I don't get here without her,
and she was in "Chasing Amy"

and allows me to kind of
continue the story

that we told
at the end of the movie.

This scene is basically a sequel
to "Chasing Amy,"

as close as we'll ever get, man,

and it happens, ironically,
in the middle of a fucking

"Jay and Silent Bob"
picture.

But my sister came back.

Give it up for Virginia.

[ Cheers and applause ]

We don't get to tell this story
in this scene at all whatsoever

if I don't meet this
other person, man,

and I told her this morning.

I was like, all these trucks

came to this parking lot
in New Orleans,

and a lot of people
jumped on planes,

and a lot of people
rearranged their lives

because her and I
met years ago.

That's what a powerful,
impactful person she was.

I did some of the greatest
fucking things

I'll ever do in my career,

some of the greatest art
I ever made with these cats,

and "Chasing Amy"
begins and ends, really,

with Joey Adams.
Joey.

[ Applause ]

And this, I fucking --

I just lost it this morning
and wept in a man's arms,

and it felt so fucking good,
and I asked him questions

about where I am in life
and stuff like that.

Sometimes it's important
to give yourself

over to something
far more powerful than you,

and I did that when I got
to hug somebody

I hadn't hugged
in a long time,

and I was just
so fucking relieved,

so glad,
every tear spent was about,

"I missed you. I just wanted
to come fucking play,"

and we're getting
to do that today.

And not only
did he fucking come out,

which until I walked
in the trailer,

I was like,
"We're being punked."

[ Laughter ]

Not only that,
but, like, he came to play.

In rehearsal, he just spit out
eight pages

of the fucking biggest
tongue-twisting dialogue

on the planet,

almost like it was
a test of our friendship,

but he was like,
"I fucking passed."

Ladies and gentlemen,
give it up for Ben Affleck.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Alright.

We ain't done this in 23 years.

Let's try it again.

"Chasing Amy" was the movie
that kind of saved my career,

and also I made it
with those kids,

with Joey, Jason, and Ben,
kids that I met on "Mallrats"

and stuff, and this was like us
doing it down in the dirt,

250,000 grand.

I believed in them.

Like, the studio wanted
other people,

but I was like, "We'll take
less money to do it like this.

This is an important part of
who I am, of my mythos."

You know, Kevin was the first
person to offer me,

like, a lead role,

you know, to sort of like
believe in me for a movie

that was actually
gonna be distributed

and that someone was gonna do
and really leveraged

a lot of his personal
credibility believing in me

just because he had met me
on "Mallrats,"

and we had kind of made friends.

And he wrote this
beautiful script,

and he just called me
and offered it to me.

It was the first time I didn't
have to audition for a movie.

It was the first time
I really felt like a director,

you know, really believed in me
and took a chance on me,

and I've always been grateful
to him for that.

I mean, I feel like Kevin's film
is different than a lot of --

I think a lot of remakes
are sometimes just because

"The film was successful,
and let's make another."

But with Kevin's film, it feels,

not to sound too,
like, literary,

but, like, very Faulkner-esque
in the sense

that he's created
this world and this --

I kind of think of it
as a county,

but it's like New Jersey
and these people from there,

and, you know, they've gone
in and out of all his works.

So for him to want to do this
reboot is more than just like,

"Let's make another
'Jay and Silent Bob.'"

It's like, "Let's bring my
entire body of work,

you know, into one film."

To play with those characters
again and be like,

"What are they doing now?"
oh, my god, I was in heaven.

Ben: You know, Kevin has always
written like --

Even though some of these
"Jay and Bob" movies

can be just,
like, sort of broad or funnier

or slapstickier, or like,
as he said,

dick and fart jokes, you know,
he has a deceptive kind of --

All that belies
a sort of deep feeling

that comes out in his writing,
so I think it was natural

that he would write
about having children,

since obviously he's done such
a great job raising his own.

Kevin: And action.

She wants to know
who daddy's talking to.

Hi, little pink sugar heart.

Say hello to daddy's friends,
the kind of men you're going

to have to learn to stay away
from when you get older.

That's Jay,
and that's Silent Bob.

Yeah.
Well, what did you say?

I said these are the kind
of guys you're gonna

have to learn to stay away
from when you get older.

This is daddy's friend Jay
and daddy's friend Silent --

I have to stay them away
when I get older?

Why?

Well, I'll explain that
to you when,

you know, when
the appropriate time comes,

but for now, boys,
this is our daughter Amy.

Say hello
to Jay and Silent Bob.

Hi, Jay and Silent Bob.

Hi, pretty.

I saw you in the movie,
and you were so awesome.

I want to see --
You want me to do it, too?

Is that good?

And then we come over here.

Thank you so much.

[ Indistinct talking ]

Alright, guys,
I'm turning into a pumpkin.

I just want to say
thank you very much.

Man:
Thank you very much.

This is the man
who gave me my start,

my whole career,
my whole new world.

"Good Will Hunting,"
"Chasing Amy,"

I wouldn't have them
without him.

Thank you, Kevin.
I appreciate it.

Thank you, all.
It was a pleasure.

Give it up for Ben!

[ Cheers and applause ]

That's a picture
wrap on Ben Affleck!

That's a picture
wrap on Virginia -- Oh, fuck.

I was gonna
call you Smith --

Virginia Sheridan!
Well done, everybody.

Thank you.

Oh!
Mwah!

And that is a picture wrap

ladies and gentlemen.

Whoo!
Whoo!

Before we go,
thank you, everybody,

from the bottom of my heart.

This movie
is fucking phenomenal.

I can't believe we made it
in 21 days, but we did,

and I got the footage
to prove it.

Looks fucking phenomenal.

Everyone did a fantastic job.

I fought coming down to
Louisiana because I was like,

"It can't possibly look like
everything we need it to look."

Not only did it look like
everything we needed to look,

but this crew was
fucking phenomenal.

You're all welcome on any show
I do in the future, man.

Y'all brought talent,
proficiency,

heart to the project, man.

You've put your all into it
and stuff, so I thank you, man.

It's been an overwhelming
21 days.

It's been a very emotionally
overwhelming day,

but I'm relatively sure that we
got everything we needed, man.

That was weird.

I had to work 25 years
to get a day like that, man.

That's a real legacy day,
and you were all here for it,

one of the greatest days I ever
had on a movie set in my life,

working with my kids again, man.

I was so fucking proud.

I can't even relate what it was.

One thing for them to be good
in the movie, that's fine,

but they came
so fucking prepared.

We're done.

Like, we could have been
sitting there

for another 3 fucking hours,
but everyone was on point.

The cast knew all their lines.

Fuckin' crew was ready
to shoot the shit out of it,

and we did it, man.

I am just the guy that's like,
"I want to do a bunch of shit.

This would be fun.
This would be fun."

It takes very capable,
smart people

to make that happen, man,
and in my case,

I was backed by the smartest
and the most capable.

Give it up for Tracy,
Liz, and Jordan.

[ Cheers and applause ]

It's weird, the things
that you care about

the older you get, man,
in a straight collar,

and fucking hair was,
like, hid on the movie.

I never had to worry
about the performances.

I never had to worry about
how the movie played out

or how it looked
and stuff like that

because when you get
to this part in life,

like,
we're all in the game.

We've been here
for a while, man.

If you can run on a show,
you're already a Jedi.

You're already super
fucking talented,

more so than most in the fucking
world and stuff like that,

so to collect this many Jedis
in one place and whatnot,

trying to make a show
is thrilling.

I didn't have to worry
about baseline things

because everyone took care
of their own jobs

and, like,
over-fucking-delivered.

Like, it's weird to be a dude
in a room

sitting there smoking weed
and being like,

"This would be cool,"

and you go from this thing
where you start by yourself,

and then slowly, it becomes this
group of people that believe,

a congregation, and you put up
a fucking cathedral,

and then you're done,
and you walk away,

and it lives there
for the rest of your lives,

and people walk by it
and talk about it,

and you go, "Hey, remember
when you built that?"

And you're like, "Yeah,
I'll never forget building

this fucking cathedral.
It's beautiful.

[ Voice breaking ]
It's the best one I ever built."

That has everything to do with
everybody here, so thank you.

Let's finish this.

[ Cheers and applause ]

♪♪

So, after 21 very long,

packed days
of trying to make it,

trying to get everything done
in the 12, 13,

once 15 hours...

there's nothing left to shoot.

We're done.

It's a wrap on Louisiana.

[ Voice breaking ]
It went too fucking fast.

And...I --

It was a different experience
than I thought I would have.

I thought
it would be fun and easy.

And...

Mm.

It was fun,

and, all things considered,
it was easy.

But I -- I love this movie

because this
is where I found out

how much I still care
about the job, and...

that was nice to know.

[ Car honking ]

Yeah, man, I learned a lot,

and it's weird to say,
25 years into the job.

I learned Mewes is a better
actor than I thought,

and I thought
he was pretty good.

I learned that, like,
people can still surprise you.

I learned sometimes it's as
simple as fucking reaching out.

I learned that I like working
with my kid, but I knew that.

I learned that I like playing
with my characters.

You know, again, I don't blame
anybody, but, like,

I'd done so many
of those movies,

and then people would be like,

"You do too many
of those movies.

Oh, it's another like
Kevin Smith movie,

where everything's
connected and shit."

And so after a while, you know,
I did it for 12 years,

and then I put it down,
and, God, did I miss it.

That's all I have in this world.

Those are mine.

Those characters are mine,

so it was awesome
to open up the box

and pull out all the toys

and set 'em up and play
with my kid and be like,

"This is what I used to do
before you were born.

This guy would go here,
and this girl would go here,

and they would say
this shit to each other,

and then,
these cats over here..."

It's fun.
It's beautiful.

And now we got
the movie to show for it, man,

and it's, like,
so weird to say,

because I wouldn't imagine
this going in,

but, seriously, one of the best
fucking flicks

I've ever made.

And the lesson in that is,
I leaned into me.

I just --
I did me.

At one point, I was like,
"Oh, I shouldn't do me anymore.

I should do somebody else."

That's "Jersey Girl,"
"Zach and Miri Make a Porno."

Well, now I'm just
gonna do me,

which sounds
very masturbatory.

That is pretty much the case.

But...I'm doing me.

Again with two men
and a dream.

One man and a dream.
He, for years, was like,

"We should do another
'Jay and Silent Bob' movie."

I'm like,
"No, we're lucky we did one,"

and then one day,
I was like,

"The boy is right,"
so here we are.

You made a beautiful movie.
A beautiful movie.

Say something.

The movie is definitely
like he said.

Reading it on the pages,
I was like, "This is beautiful,"

but then seeing it,
'cause he's already cut stuff

and then working with Harley,
and like he said, I teared up.

I don't know.
I'm super excited.

I wanted to pull him aside
and say thanks.

Again, I'm horrible
talking on the camera

when it comes to sharing
and baring my heart.

Should have played
Silent Bob.

Again, I can talk
and tell funny stories,

but when it comes
to speaking my heart, it's hard.

But, again, I love Kevin,

and I'm so happy
we got to do this.

I'm like blown away
we're done,

and I wanted to come and say,
"Everyone,

that is a fucking wrap on
'Jay and Silent Bob Reboot,'"

and I love this guy,
and I'm gonna hug him.

I'm gonna kiss him,
and you're gonna see it,

and Josh is gonna
slowly push out and edit.

But what the great thing is,

guys,
I don't mean to say this again,

but on the other side
of the camera,

Josh wouldn't be here
or have his fucking wife

if it also wasn't for
'Jay and Silent Bob'
